"That's good." Violet nodded reassuringly, "I hope that in the future, you guys will have a good time over there."
Jessie nodded, "We will, thank you, Violet, and thank Mr. Murphy on my behalf. If not for you, our family may not be able to leave J City at all, maybe it won t be long before George ......"
Speaking of which, she suddenly thought of something and grabbed her phone and asked, "Right Violet, did George ever look for you? I left, he would definitely suspect that you helped me escape, so did he look for you?"
Violet shook her head, "Not for now, I don't know whether he will or not."
Jessie's eyes drooped in gloom, "I'm really sorry, Violet, I got you into trouble."
Violet chuckled, "It is not true, you are my friend, I should help you, and George won't really do anything to me, don't forget, my husband will protect me."
Hearing her say that, the uneasiness in Jessie's heart dropped.
Yeah, Mr. Murphy would protect Violet, so she would be relieved.
"Well Jessie, live well there from now on, have the baby born. The past is all in the past, don't think about anything else in the future, especially George, understand?" Violet admonished.
Jessie nodded, "I know."
"Then I'll hang up first." Violet looked at the time and said into the phone.
Jessie nodded, "Okay."
The call hung up, she put the phone down and just turned around when she saw Jessie's mother who entered her room with milk.
"Jessie, drink some milk." Jessie's mother walked over and handed the milk to her.
Jessie reached out to take it, "Thank you, Mom."
"I'm your mother, what are you thanking me for? Drink up." Jessie's mother sat down next to her bed and gently stroked her hair, "Was that just on the phone with Violet?"
Jessie sipped her milk as she replied, "Yeah, let's call her when we get over here and thank her."
Jessie's mother nodded, "We should thank her, if it wasn't for Violet and her husband, our family of three trying to get out of the country so easily would have been impossible."
Hearing this, Jessie lowered her eyes, her eyes filled with guilt, "I'm sorry, mom, I'm the one who dragged you and dad into this. If I hadn't been capricious and hadn't kept this child, you and my dad wouldn't have been uprooted and come here with me at such an old age."
Also, if she hadn't fallen in love with George, the three of them, as a family, would definitely not be so miserable.
All of this, it was her fault.
Hearing her daughter's words of self-blame, Jessie's mother was heartbroken, and as she took her daughter into her arms, she replied with red eyes, "No, Jessie, you must not say these words, you have not dragged us down, you are our daughter, so you can be capricious, because you are in our eyes, you are always a child, and we are a family of three together, this is happiness, and your father and I will not feel that this is your fault."
"Mom ......" Hearing her mother say this, Jessie not only did not have the slightest sense of relief, but the guilt in her heart became even heavier.
Because she wanted her parents to blame her, in which case she might feel better inside.
But her parents didn't, instead they comforted her, which made her feel even more like she wasn't a good daughter and had dragged them down with her.
At the door, Jessie's father looked at his wife and daughter who were crying, and his eyes were red, and he did not feel good.
But he didn't go in, and he wasn't going to.
As a father, he was not as delicate as his wife and could be so thoughtful to care for his daughter and comfort her.
So it's better to let the wife go, being a woman, she can be more thoughtful and know what kind of care and attention her daughter needs.
