Jessica scolded him in a lower voice, but Jason grinned and made a face and stuck out his tongue at her.
Jessica noticed that Martha was a bit embarrassed.
Then she got up from the sofa.
And then threw Jason into Martha's arms.
Then she walked to the bathroom and said, "Mom, I will go myself. And you take care of Jason at home."
Martha had a look at Jason in her arms and signed.
"Fine, but if you get any information, remember to call me."
The prison in Chicago
The wall of the prison was very high.
It was cloudy and windy.
It seemed as if it would rain.
The jailer led Jessica in front and they passed through a long way.
Then they went through several iron gates.
Finally, she got to a quiet room.
"You can have a seat, and the man you will see will come later." The jailer pointed to the chair which was opposite the table.
Jessica nodded her head and sat down.
She was sitting there with a heavy heart.
Her fingers were even trembling.
The Iron Gate was open and the other jailer came in holding a man who was old by his side.
"Henry Wilson, your daughter Jessica Wilson is here to see you. Sit down."
Jessica looked up.
The tears filled with her eyes when she saw an old man whose hair was all grey and was wrapped in layers of gauze on his hands and legs. Besides his face, cheekbone and mouth had got some bruises.
She didn't expect that her father was so much older than before.
"Dad."
With the help of the jailer, Henry Wilson sat down on the chair opposite Jessica.
His facial expression was distorted by pain.
Henry peeked at Jessica but he didn't feel happy.
"Jinx!"
He reprimanded her in a husky voice at the moment he opened his mouth.
Jessica was shocked.
Then she gazed at Henry.
He didn't change. And he still looked at her with disdain and resentment.
Jessica didn't speak a word.
"You bring me bad luck when you were back. Look at the injuries all over my body." Henry pointed to the blood which wasn't dried on his face with his trembling fingers. "I ask them why they hit me, you know what? They told me to ask you!"
Jessica was frightened and her face turned pale.
