Elizabeth looked at Leonard coldly. However, he couldn’t care less, as he proceeded to chug down some wine on his own.
She could tell that Leonard had probably just returned from a military trip. He had become tanner, and there were wounds on his face.
“Jess, how can you be so foolish? You can’t let him take advantage of you like that.”
Jessica glanced at Leonard and quickly dragged Elizabeth out of the room.
“Don’t make a fuss, Lizzy. I was the one who went looking for him. He’s my only hope. So, if he wants to sleep with me, I’ll let him do so. Once he has his fill, he will give Pearl his bone marrow.”
There was a layer of disappointment in Jessica’s eyes. She was basically helpless.
Pearl’s life was of paramount importance. Her own feelings did not matter.
She had to do so even though she felt nothing for Leonard. When Leonard was mean, he was mean to the core.
She thought of that time when he had been especially nasty, and taught her a variety of shameless acts.
Yet, she could not tell a soul about that. She could only grin and bear it herself.
Elizabeth brought Jessica into her embrace. “I know how you feel, Jess. Are you sure that brat will give his bone marrow
to Pearl? He has run away once, hasn’t he?”
Jessica let out a long sigh. “I won’t let him run away ever again. I can deal with this myself, Lizzy. Don’t worry about me,
all right?”
Elizabeth stared at Jessica’s helpless figure. She longed to help her. If only my bone marrow was a match for Pearl.
However, that wasn’t the case, and that had allowed Leonard to behave like a tyrant.
Elizabeth gritted her teeth and said, “You have to learn how to protect yourself, Jess. If you need any help, look for me. I have a bit of money now. If you need money, give me a call.”
Jessica nodded. “Of course. Aren’t you on a date with Mr. Hilton? Hurry up, go back to him.”
Jessica thought of the man inside the room again. If he got into a bad mood again, he would go missing once more. By then, she would not know where to find him pain.
