Her mother's death?
Half-sister?
Jasmine was stunned and felt even a little flustered and at a loss.
Was that all the memories she had lost?
"Jessie, please! I beg you. We have lived together for more than ten years. You can beat me or scold me. I just want you to help Ellie."
Looking at Jessie's expressionless face, Ivy begged in a low voice.
She had advanced lung cancer, and the doctor had diagnosed that she couldn't live more than three months. If it weren't for the fact that she was worried about her only daughter, she wouldn't have asked the prison guard to find Sharon, because she knew that Jessie would never come to see her.
Mark held Jessie's shoulder tightly and said, "Are you okay? If you don't feel well, we can leave first." Then he held her up and was about to leave.
"No, don't go." All of a sudden, Ivy stood up and rushed Jessie her. She grabbed Jessie's hand. Startled, Jessie let out a scream. Then, Mark immediately stepped forward to protect her and separated them from each other. The prison guards stepped forward to suppress Ivy and clasped her hands behind her back.
Mark said angrily, "Ivy, have you forgotten what I said just now? You have said what you want to say. As for what to do, it's our business. If you could think of what would happen today, you shouldn't have done that! Since you have done it, you have to bear all the consequences. Honey, let's go."
After Mark and Jessie were out of sight, Ivy burst into tears. She collapsed to the ground in despair and shouted, "Jessie, it was all my fault. You only have Ellie as your family in the world. Please! Please..."
Ivy's voice echoed in Jessie's ears like a magic spell. No matter how hard she tried to forget about it, it was like being imprinted in her mind and could not be erased.
"Don't think too much. If you are tired, just sleep for a while."
Jasmine lowered her head and didn't say anything. She felt like she was put in a heavy haze, which made her feel very uncomfortable.
Seeing her like this, Mark felt so regretful. He shouldn't have brought her here. He just wanted her to know some people and things in the past, but he ignored the harm that those things would cause to her.
Just like the death of her parents, the family environment she grew up in, and what she had experienced since her childhood...
She was not as strong and invincible as she used to be. Now she was like a newborn baby, being taken care of and protected. She was not strong enough to accept so many past injuries in her heart.
While feeling remorseful, he immediately stepped on the accelerator. He couldn't let her stay here any longer.
The car was running on the crowded road.
Jessie lowered her head and kept scratching her fingers. From this little movement, Mark could tell how uneasy she was.
"Is what that woman said true?" Jessie slowly looked up and felt confused. She said, "Lawrence told me that his parents and mine were all died in a car accident. We were brought up by grandpa. But why things turned out to be like this?"
She couldn't accept what Ivy said at all, but if she had to choose to believe Ivy or Lawrence, she would choose to believe Ivy.
After all, Lawrence loved her. He might make up a lie to deceive her in order to take care of her feelings.
However, it was too hard to accept the truth.
Her life since childhood was not the most ordinary family of three, but a distorted family of five! She couldn't imagine how painful such a life was.
One father, two daughters and two wives lived together, and her mother was killed by the mistress... This was even worse and unacceptable than the plot in TV series.
