Claiming Her Back novel (Jessica and Lucas)

Chapter 148

"Okay, thank you," Jessica replied and left the restaurant.

Although she looked calm, she was quite surprised deep down.

Lucas left because he didn't feel well?

What on earth happened to him?

Jessica was once Lucas' wife after all. As far as she knew, he never put his health first. He wouldn't have left if he only felt slightly uncomfortable.

If Lucas had left because Jessica was late, he must have thought of a better excuse.

Jessica stood at the door of the restaurant and thought for a while. She didn't think rushing to the Thomas villa was proper, so she called Lucas.

To her surprise, Hari answered the phone.

"Mr. Hartley?"

"Miss Hall, what happened?" Hari's voice sounded unusually indifferent.

Jessica paused and continued to ask, "Sorry, I was late today. When I went to the restaurant, I heard from the waitress that Mr. Thomas left because he felt unwell. I'm just calling to check how he's doing now." "Lucas has a stomachache. He is having an injection now," Hari replied.

Hari hedged for two seconds before he made up his mind to continue, "Miss Hall, maybe it's not for me to say, but if you were caught up by something, you could have told Lucas, right? Terry beat him so hard that his stomach spasmed the other day. And today, because he had to wait for you, his stomach problem.....

Hari stopped before he could finish. Jessica seemed to have heard someone else speaking on the other side.

So Jessica asked, "It's my fault to be late today. You just said that Mr. Davison beat him and his stomach spasmed. What did you mean by that?" -

"Nothing. That's not my business. Excuse me," Hari did not elaborate on that. He hurriedly hung up.

Jessica wasn't mad. Instead, she only felt confused.

Did Hari just say that Lucas was beaten by Terry and his stomach problem attacked again?

But Jessica remembered that it was clearly Lucas who took the upper hand that day. Terry had wounds in the corners of his mouth.

Jessica grabbed a taxi and returned to her apartment.

Jessica logged in to Twitter and searched for the videos at her birthday party. There were several videos shot from different perspectives.

Jessica casually clicked on one of them. In the beginning, it was indeed Lucas who punched Terry in the face, but Terry took a step back when the punch landed on him.

Then, when the crowd gathered around, Terry punched Lucas in the belly.

Jessice turned off the video, and she got what had happened.

Lucas fought with Terry on the day of her birthday party, causing him to have a stomachache. He probably didn't have a good meal or take medicine today, so his stomach problem relapsed. After jessica sorted out her thoughts, she understood why Hari was mad at her,

Although Jessica never really forgave Lucas, she never wanted him to fall ill.

But Jessica didn't think she had the necessity to apologize.

After thinking about it, Jessica decided to wait for Lucas to recover and treat him to dinner then as an apology.

The next morning, Jessica just got up and saw the latest news on Twitter.

It was Terry's apology statement.

In this statement, in addition to apologizing for the fight on Jessica's birthday, Terry also clarified that he was not in a relationship at the moment because the person on his mind hadn't said yes. To the outsiders, Terry's and Lucas' statements were completely different, but they both revealed one thing: they both had feelings for Jessica

After Terry's statement was posted, the beholders on the Internet also joined the discussion.

Some of the people who had previously supported Jessica's re-marriage turned to stand up for Terry.

They did that mostly because of Olivia.

Many people believed that the Thomas family didn't have good bearings given the fact that Olivia kept causing trouble for

Jessica after she divorced Lucas.

Some gossipers also found out about the scandal between Lucas' father and his mistress.

Lucas, who had just finished the injection in the ward, put on a sullen look and fell into silence after he heard from Kari about the comments on the Internet.

"Lucas, do you know what's the biggest gap between you and Terry?" Hari looked at Lucas with a gloating expression and said, "It's Olivia. Terry doesn't have a horrible sister like yours."

"Get out" That was all Lucas said.
