Predestined Marriage novel Chapter 1627

Jessica turned her face away, not looking at either Carl or the wounds on his hands.

Carl peeled an apple beside, showing no emotion. When he finished peeling, there wasn't much pulp left, or to be more accurate, only two-thirds left.

He handed it to Jessica.

It was Jessica who said that she wanted to eat an apple. Since Carl had already peeled one, Jessica took it over.

Jessica took two bites and felt full, but she still kept eating yet very slowly.

The ward was quiet. No one spoke.

Carl stared at Jessica for a moment, and then bent down to pick up the band-aid on the ground and covered it on his wound.

Noticing what Carl did, Jessica paused but soon continued to eat the apple in hand.

Though Jessica kept eating for a long time, she didn't eat much.

Carl remembered that Jessica also didn't eat much at dinner yesterday. She had a little tummy, like a bird.

She wasn't like that before.

Although she had kept on her diet, she ate healthy amounts.

Now she only ate almost half of the amount she had eaten. Carl even felt that she wasn't full at all.

Was there anything wrong with her?

Or was she sick?

Carl thought a lot and was more sure about that, so he knitted his brows.

"Have a full body check later."

Unexpectedly hearing Carl's voice, Jessica was stunned for a moment, "No need."

'I'm fine. Why do I need to do the fucking check?'

As Carl was about to speak, Jessica's phone rang.

It was Summer calling.

Jessica was speechless for a while. There was a saying that a pregnant woman would be silly for three years. Jessica thought that was completely right.

Summer's mind wasn't as sharp as before. She knew that Jessica was afraid of Leonardo, but she still said that she would ask Leonardo to come and see Jessica. How dared Jessica do so?

"I can't be any better. There's really no need. You can tell by my voice that I'm full of energy ... Anyway, I'll see you tomorrow." The doctor said that her wound was superficial, and she did not need to stay at the hospital. All she needed to do was to change her dressing and remove those stitches.

Since Summer was so worried about her, Jessica decided to see Summer.

Jessica was truly afraid that Summer would ask Leonardo to see her.

Carl's phone also rang. It was from Nicole.

Seeing that it was his mother, Carl got a headache. He put his phone on mute and pretended not to see that.

In the end, the phone stopped buzzing.

But soon after Arabel, Jessica's mother, called.

Arabel must see the trending list and knew that Jessica was injured. At this moment, Jessica's line was busy because she was talking to Summer, so Arabel had to call Carl.
