Chapter 64 A Gentle Cut
Jessica knew exactly what Linda meant. She felt like crying and nodded her head, "I am so lucky to have you by my side when I was delivering. Linda, I will never forget your help..."
In fact, her mom was seriously sick that no doctor in Chicago could help cure her. He doctors suggested her to go to Korea and have a treatment there.
But she was pregnant. Jessica had no choice but to begged for the assistant of her employer to let her take her mom to Korea for her mom's disease. Finally, her employer agreed but the requirement was that they should arrange her a special doctor to take care of her.
The doctor was Linda.
When Jessica had her first ultrasound in Korea, it was Linda who helped her.
And she was so happy when she was informed that she was pregnant with twins.
Jessica didn't want both of her children to be taken away from her by her employer.
So, she had to beg Linda to hide it from her employer.
If Linda didn't help her, Jason wouldn't be here with her now...
"Silly you. You have told such words to me thousands of times." Linda shook her head gently and then squatted down and held Matthew up. "Hey, handsome boy, can you tell me your name?" "Jason!" Matthew said in a cute voice.
"Jason, you are a good boy." Linda felt it so warm. She had an abortion before, so she could understand the feeling of losing a child. Therefore, she helped Jessica without hesitation.
Just then, Linda's phone was ringing.
Jessica held her son back from Linda's arms.
Linda answered the phone, "Hello... OK, got it. I'll be back now."
She hanged up the phone and smiled at Jessica and her son feeling sorry. "I am so sorry, Jessica. I'm got to go now. I need to deal with something. Here is my calling card. If you are available, you can come and visit me!" "Sure! Take care!" Jessica got the calling card with a smile.
Matthew glanced at Linda's calling card...
He knew that Linda was the doctor who helped his mom delivered and his mom said Linda was their benefactor. It seemed that his mom was hiding something.
He had a serious look at Jessica after Linda left, and asked. "Mom, why you said that Aunt Linda is our benefactor?"
Jessica paused and said, "I was bleeding a lot and Doctor Linda saved you and me."
"...That it?" Matthew's eyebrows tightly furrowed.
"Mom almost died on the bed when I was delivering, and you just say 'that's it'?"
In fact, Jessica didn't tell a lie. When she was delivering her first kid, the kid was taken away from her after a few minutes. She was too sad that she bled a lot. But luckily Linda was there and she helped Jessica when delivering Jason. When she thought of that, she would feel like crying.
"Mom, are you crying?" Matthew rubbed her cheek gently.
Jessica was shocked and found that she was crying.
She held Matthew in her arms tightly and she tried to hold back her tears and trembled. "Mom is OK. Just some sands get into my eyes."
How could she tell Matthew the truth that she was missing her brother?
But where was he? How was he?
Was he good?
They went back home.
They didn't mention Linda anymore.
After a shower, Jessica was holding Matthew and they both fell asleep soundly...
It was 1am at the midnight.
The phone was vibrating.
Jessica was woken up immediately. Since she was Louis's secretary, her phone was always on in 24 hours.
She was afraid that she would wake Matthew up, then she got up from the bed lightly.
She took out her phone when she was in the living room and she saw a stranger number showing on the screen. Jessica frowned. ""Hello?"
The one who was on the phone was silent.
"If you still be silent, I will hang up the phone." Jessica thought that was a harassment, then she hanged up the phone.
Again, her phone was vibrating again.
Jessica frowned and picked up the phone, "Who are you?"
"... Miss Wilson..." Someone was talking in a light and gentle voice...
Jessica was surprised and she found the voice so familiar but she couldn't call to mind that who she was. "You are?" "Brenda White."
Jessica was suddenly enlightened but her heart skipped one beat.
"I am so sorry to bother you so late at night." Brenda was talking on the phone in a really gentle voice.
Jessica frowned and replied, "Miss White, since you know it's so late, you should go to bed now."
"Aren't your curious why I am calling you now?" Brenda's voice was still very soft.
Jessica lifted her eyebrows and took a deep breath, "I am not curious." But actually, she was!
Brenda was laughing lightly and gently. "Miss Wilson, I just want to show you something."
Then Brenda switched to the Face Time and a beautiful and delicate face came into Jessica's sight.
She was indeed a superstar who would always beautiful at any time.
But Jessica eyes were dull and she didn't expect that Brenda was video chatting with her.
"Miss Wilson, I know Louis has been close to you recently, but I have been relationship with him for ten years, and we can't just break up that easily..." Brenda was smiling elegantly and she was wearing sexy nightdress, but Jessica found that too offending. "Miss Wilson, Louis just can't let me go... You see, now he is sleeping so soundly on my bed." Brenda said softly and then she turned the camera on the king-size bed.
Jessica saw Louis's gorgeous face which had strong jaw line from the camera...
She was in a great shock.
He was sleeping so soundly.
From the camera, she saw his muscle and he was naked...
His waist was covered by a white quilt. Jessica could imagine what happened...
Her heart seemed to be hit by something and it was bleeding.
"Miss Wilson, you can see Louis is sleeping so soundly with me. He looks satisfied, doesn't he? I really appreciate you have looked after him so well. But I will take care of him from now on. I am so sorry to bother you, good night and take care." Though Brenda was smiling and talking in a soft voice, the words she said just like needles which were stabbing Jessica's heart.
She was like an executioner, smiling softly but giving you a cruel cut.
Then she hanged up the phone.
Jessica lapsed into silence and stared at her phone.
She felt the bitterness from her heart.
From the screen, she saw herself like pale ghost.
But luckily, she didn't open her camera when chatting with Brenda. Or she wasn't sure that she could act that well like Brenda.
It was in the morning, and today was Monday.
A new week began.
Matthew got up and brushed his teeth. After having breakfast, he was ready to get out and waited for the school bus.
He turned back and looked at Jessica who was zoning out, and he said the third times, "Mom, I am leaving."
Jessica then was back to herself and she was having breakfast with her son, but now he was wearing school uniform and school bag standing by the door. "Sweetie, are you going to school now?"
"Yes, the school bus is coming. Mom, are you OK?" Matthew frowned and he vaguely heard his mom got up and picked up a calling last night.
But he was too sleepy so he didn't pay attention.
When he got up, Jessica was doing housework and making breakfast, but she was absent-minded.
Jessica didn't want Matthew find something wrong with her then she smiled gently, "I am fine! Mom will send you to the bus stop."
"No, I can go alone. Mom, don't worry, I have a phone and I will call you once I arrive at school." Matthew shook his head and said.
Matthew insisted he could go alone. Jessica was a bit shocked when she looked at his gorgeous face and his composed expression, she found his son looked like Louis Carter at that moment. The face that Louis was sleeping soundly last night came to her mind again.
Her heart was like being stabbed by needles. She must be insane!
She tried so hard to get rid of that crazy mind and nodded her head, "OK, remember to call me once you arrive."
Matthew nodded his head.
Jessica was head in sorrow the whole morning.
And she couldn't sleep the whole night since she talked with Brenda White last night.
She kept doing housework until Matthew left home for school.
The house was quiet down.
Jessica glanced at the clock on the wall and she remembered that today was Monday and she needed to go to the Wilson Group to handle the admission procedures.
She got dressed and didn't want to think of Brenda White's purpose.
But she deeply figured one thing: she couldn't compare with Brenda.
She was just like an onlooker in the bet between she and Louis.
The Wilson Group.
In order to celebrate the first day of Jessica who was working in the Wilson Group, Henry led all the staffs to hold a small welcoming party for her.
Jessica was shocked when she saw the red banner with the words: Welcome vice president Jessica Wilson.
Vice president?
Her lips twitched and she thought her dad just went too far.
"Hey, daughter, come. Let me introduce out new member, Terry Wright, our consultant." He took her to Terry with enthusiasm.
Jessica twitched her lips slightly because she found that so phony when her dad called her "daughter". She nodded to Terry politely, "Nice to meet you, Terry."
Terry maintained the elegant demeanor and smiled at her politely, "Nice to meet you, vice president."
Before Jessica said a word, Henry laughed and chimed, "Ha-ha, Terry is just so modest. You are more talented than my daughter, I really appreciate that you can work for the Wilson Group."
Jessica guessed that Henry admired Terry so much from his words.
She was listening to her dad quietly and observing Terry's facial expression.
Then she recalled what he said to her in the Chinese restaurant that day in front of the washroom. "Don't you curious about why I am working for the Wilson Group and why do I work like a dog for Anna Wilson?" ☐☐☐☐☐
