The housekeeper approached him, lowered her head, and reported softly, “Mr. Lopez, we didn’t think it was appropriate to tell you while you were away on a business trip. Ms. Marsh should already be on her period. However, when I was cleaning the bathroom, I didn’t see any used pads in the bin.”
She could feel the temperature of the air drop, and her shoulders shivered a little in fear.
However, when she thought about what Gianna had promised her, she plucked up the courage to continue. “Then, I realized that we have been serving Ms. Marsh her meals on time, yet she has lost weight. I’m not sure if she has been intentionally eating less, and this resulted in a hormonal imbalance.”
Before she could finish, the housekeeper was pushed aside roughly.
A hint of disdain flashed across Gianna’s face as she pretended to help steady her. She asked, her voice full of concern, “Are you okay?”
She watched as Wyatt stormed upstairs angrily, the corners of her lips curling up in a smug smirk.
This time, their relationship will definitely be over! That woman is overestimating herself if she thinks she can outwit me!
When Wyatt got to the third floor, he kicked open the door to Jessica’s room. Jessica had been feeling weak and had just laid down when he barged in. Unwilling to entertain him, she got out of bed and headed for the bathroom.
He took one large step toward her, grabbed her wrist, and threw her back onto the bed.
Towering over her, he glared at her with a dark expression.
She had visibly lost a lot of weight. Her face was now even slimmer than before, which was heartbreaking to see.
Let go!
Unable to cuss him out, Jessica could only struggle with all her might. However, she still could not break free from his grasp.
A shudder suddenly wrecked her body as she recalled what she had seen outside the study the other day, and she started struggling even harder.
Wyatt’s gaze darkened. In the next instant, he lifted a hand and slapped her across the cheek.
He had hit her very hard as he was fuming. Jessica’s head whipped to the side as she lay there in a daze.
He grabbed her chin and forced her to look at him. The grim look in his eyes was terrifying. “Jessica Marsh, if you still refuse to f*cking eat, I will get someone to shove the food down your throat.”
Scoffing coldly, he continued, “Do you think Rayna will be able to save you just because you sent her a message using the housekeeper’s phone? She’s currently enjoying life with her ex-boyfriend in Yartran. She wouldn’t think of someone like you.”
Wyatt leaned toward her and snarled, “You’ve sacrificed so much for your good friend, and you’re always thinking of her. Well, are you aware of what she did to Kristie? No one would welcome her back with open arms after that!”
Jessica turned her gaze toward him, still trying to process what he had just said.
She didn’t know what had happened to Kristie.
Forcing herself to calm down, she tried to reach for the notebook lying on top of the bedside table to write down what she wanted to say.
However, Wyatt thought that she was trying to run away and pinned her arms down. “You have no one else to rely on other than your Uncle Oliver and Aunt Danielle, but even they can’t save you! There’s nothing I’m not capable of when I’m angry, Jessica. I can keep you locked up here forever, and no one will be able to find you ever again. So, go ahead and try me if you want!”
When he saw the fear in her eyes, he scoffed coldly. “Or maybe I should keep Oliver and Danielle locked up in a small town. Do you think you will be able to locate them?”
Jessica stared up at him with wide eyes, unable to believe that he was the same man she had once loved.
Is this just a figment of my imagination? Am I having a nightmare?
His words were like a curse ringing in her ears. When she looked at him again, his face grew blurrier and blurrier. Her heart and her body started growing cold.
Wyatt had been so livid that he wasn’t thinking straight; he just wanted her to obey him.
After he snapped back to his senses, he realized that Jessica’s thin body was trembling. She looked so weak and pitiful.
