"I'm telling the truth."
Hearing the affirmative answer, Jessica was confused.
"Then why did you lie to me about getting engaged in the Netherlands?"
"Tina arranged everything back then. She just wanted you to give up."
Jessica recalled that a lot of things she got to know were really conveyed by Tina. At that time, Vincent and Tina were both studying in the Netherlands, one was studying for a master's degree, and the other was studying at a professional university.
Vincent just called to invite her to the Netherlands and helped write an invitation to go abroad. The engagement was something Tina had told her after returning home.
The first day she arrived in the Netherlands, Tina also received her. The two of them had been waiting for Vincent to come over. They didn't expect that Vincent didn't show up, but someone else.
Tina must know something.
Vincent sent Jessica to the hospital's emergency room and left.
The doctor who examined her was also straightforward, telling her that she should take good care of herself. Then he scolded the child's father for being a beast, leaving a sick pregnant woman alone.
Jessica smiled bitterly. She didn't know who the baby's father was. That was so ridiculous.
She had been in a daze that night, and it was the first time she had an intimate relationship with a man. Most of the time, she closed her eyes and did not remember what the man was like.
Jessica had to stay in bed and recuperate until her condition was completely stable. Until then could she be discharged. Otherwise, not only the baby but also herself would suffer a lot.
She didn't expect that she escaped to Lambola City just to go directly to the hospital. Originally, she planned to look for a job here. If she could find a suitable job, she decided to stay here for the time being. But what happened was totally out of her control.
However, this trip was not in vain. She realized that the baby's father was not Vincent at all.
'How many shameful things Tina had done behind my back? When she got better, I must find Tina to ask. Whether by threat or temptation, I must figure it out.'
Because it was inconvenient for Jessica to get out of bed, she hired a nurse. Coincidentally, the nurse's surname was Weaver, the same as that of grandma's nurse.
Jessica called the hotel and explained her situation, and asked the nurse to check out for her.
...
Oliver followed Martin's advice and went to see the psychiatrist Larry.
Larry came straight to the point, "Mr. Williams, haven't you been resting well recently?"
Oliver had been frowning. Recently, everyone could feel the anger around him when they saw him. Those who knew him well dared to ask what was going on. The others just wanted to stay away from him, afraid that they would anger him and cause trouble.
"No," Oliver replied.
Insomnia had been far away from him for a long time. When his mother had just left him, he had such symptoms. After seeing a doctor, he gradually recovered. He did not expect that because of Jessica's departure, he suffered insomnia again.
Larry had seen a lot of people who came to see the doctor. They were depressed and didn't dare to look at others. But Oliver, who was sitting in front of him, looked very powerful and noble, even though he couldn't hide his tiredness.
