“Let go of me.”
She pushed him away forcefully. “I’ve never taken you for a toy. You’re the one who has been treating me unreasonably. Didn’t you notice the blood on the bedsheet? Forrest, you don’t even treat me as a human.”
“You know why I’ve been treating you unreasonably, don’t you?”
Forrest’s gaze was so cold that it seemed like he had been poisoned. “I never thought you’d be that kind of person. We’ve just been married for a few days, yet you can’t wait to go to another man’s house. You even lied to me, saying that you have a social function and work to attend to. I alone can’t satisfy you, huh?”
? soe “
Jessica’s pale lips trembled.
She could not get her head around what he was saying at all.
Jessica could not understand why Forrest would think that she was at another man’s house.
She admitted that she had lied to him, but it was all because he tortured her so badly. Anyway, she was back home now.
“Say something. Is it because I’ve gotten it right and you can’t refute what I’m saying?” Forrest asked aggressively.
“Forrest, you b*stard.” Jessica was too exhausted to argue with him anymore.
She slid down the bed with difficulty and used the bedsheet to cover her body. However, her legs were trembling in pain. It felt as though she would pass out the next moment.
“Where are you going?”
Forrest gripped her wrist. “I’m asking you. Where are you going at this hour? Are you going to look for that man?”
“You’re crazy.”
Jessica could no longer stand him. Every word of his resembled a knife that pierced through her chest. “Forrest, to you, am I a shameless, despicable woman without a moral baseline? Is it because I forced you to marry me? Please think about it. If I wanted to trick you to sleep with me, would I have had to risk it with my marriage? What good would it do me? Would you feel better by thinking so badly of me? I have no idea why you’ ve become like this.”
Her eyes reddened in spite of herself.
Although the man she used to love was a bit cold and did not smile much, he had a pure heart.
He would give other women the cold shoulder and the best of himself to Jessica.
He would stand by her side no matter what. However, what about now?
Jessica began to doubt herself.
What was her reason for scheming to get married to him?
Perhaps life had changed them into completely different people. Jessica was no longer the same as before, and neither was Forrest.
Relationships were just like sand. As much as she tried to hold the sand tightly in her hands, it would keep trickling through her fingers.
Forrest was stunned, and his throat bobbed with difficulty. “Do you think I wanted to do that? Who was the one that made me like this? I trusted you, but what did I get in return? How am I supposed to trust you now? What’s more, it’s a fact that you were at another man’s place tonight. Jessica, if you can’t be loyal, don’t drag me into the mess.” Things had always been that way, and he was also a human. He had feelings. He could feel pain and anger.
“Let me say this again. I have never wronged you, and I’ve never flirted with any man. I was only at a chairman’s place to have dinner tonight and chatted with him about work. If you don’t believe me, there’s nothing I can do either.”
Jessica withdrew her hand. “I need to go to the hospital now. Please don’t stop me.”
Forrest was stunned for a few seconds. By the time he looked back, he saw her staggering into the changing room. ¡®
He tightened his fist and settled his eyes on the red spot on the bed.
A sense of annoyance suddenly overcame him, and he punched the wall.
A few minutes later, Jessica dragged her suitcase out with her legs trembling.
“What are you doing?” Forrest’s eyes narrowed. “I’m going to the hospital. Then, I’ll move out.” Jessica had regained her composure, but her face was very pale. “If this situation persists, I’m afraid I’ll lose my life.”
Forrest jerked. After that, he hurled her suitcase to the ground. “Dream on. Since you’ve moved in, you’ll] stay here even if you die.” ¡ã
Jessica looked at her suitcase on the floor.
Deep down, she felt an indescribable sense of exhaustion.
After working overnight and entertaining Chairman Lennox, she was met with an accident and drenched in the rain. Instead of getting some rest when she got home, she was tortured for a long time.
Not only was she exhausted, but she did not feel good as well.
In fact, her health had always been alright. However, she had not had proper rest in the past few days, so she was certain that she was going to fall sick the next day.
“Okay. I won’t take my suitcase away, but can I go to the hospital?”
Jessica lifted her head and asked him, “Or do I still need to serve you with my bleeding body? I’m sorry, but I’m worried that I’]] die of exhaustion on the bed. You probably won’t feel heartbroken even if I die anyway. But if I die on your bed, you might have to go to jail. If you don’t think for yourself, you should do it for your parents and sister.”
She looked at him composedly. In her dark eyes, he was like a merciless devil. Forrest felt a chill run down his spine. Was he that scummy to her? She was already bleeding. Could he bring himself t o continue to torture her to death?
A deep sense of sarcasm hit him. Forrest’s cold, thin lips quivered. “Get lost.” Jessica staggered out.
She drove to a private hospital. When she did the medical examination, the female doctor darted a glance at Jessica. “With your condition, do you need me to… call the police?”
Such a serious injury would only happen when a woman was abused.
?.No need.” Jessica could see the pity in the doctor’s eyes. She knew that the doctor might think that she had met someone bad.
That was understandable. Would a husband do such a thing to his wife?
She felt nothing but sadness.
Was it true that a forced marriage would not bring happiness?
Was she wrong? Jessica was in the hospital for an IV infusion until 5:00 a.m.
She was so exhausted that she fell asleep. Once the IV bag was empty, the husband of the patient beside her pressed the bell for her. “Thank you.” Jessica thanked the couple, who looked to be in their 30s. The woman lying on the bed was not the pretty sort, and her husband looked ordinary. Nevertheless, they had a good relationship. Especially when the woman was having an IV infusion, the man insisted on sitting beside her and staying awake even though he was sleepy. Upon hearing Jessica’s voice, the man looked up and flashed her a pure smile. “No trouble at all.” Jessica left after the IV infusion. However, it suddenly hit her that she had forgotten to take her medicine. When she returned to the ward, she overheard the woman saying, “The woman sleeping beside me just now looks pretty.” “No matter how pretty she is, I only have eyes for you,” the man said with a grin. “Fine. I’m not even jealous. I just find her pitiful. I t was so late, and she was having an IV infusion alone. She didn’t look well either.” “Yeah. Maybe she’s not married.”
“A pretty woman like her must have strict criteria for her other half,” the woman said. “That’s why it’s good to be ordinary -looking people like us. Women don’t need to marry wealthy. What matters is that they can lead a comfortable life, and most importantly, the husband has to be considerate. My husband is the best.”
“Wifey, you’re wonderful too.”
Jessica closed her eyes. Only after standing for a few minutes at the door did she walk in to take the medicine before she left.
Once Jessica returned to her old house, she texted her secretary to inform her that she would take a day off today and that her secretary could come to look for her at her house if there was anything important.
After a shower, Jessica went back to her bed and slept.
She did not know how long she had slept when she was awakened by the sound of the doorbell. She sat up with difficulty, only to find that her legs hurt when she bent them. It hurt so much that it felt as though something had tore.
When she finally put on her clothes and walked to the door to open it, she saw her secretary, Luna, and Harold.
Harold was holding some food in one hand and flowers in another. He asked with concern, “Luna said you’re sick, so I came over to visit you. How are you feeling?”
As he was speaking, he stretched out his hand to touch Jessica’s forehead.
“I’m fine.” Jessica shunned him with a frown. Harold was a little embarrassed with his hand freezing in mid-air. Upon seeing that scene, Luna quickly said, “President Snow, these are some documents I need you to sign urgently.” “Come in.”
After Jessica tidied her casual clothes, she sat down on the couch.
“You haven’t had breakfast, have you? I’ve brought you some food.” Harold put down the breakfast, which looked bland, on the table. Jessica threw a look at it. She had an IV infusion with an empty stomach in the wee hours, so her stomach was not feeling too great. She took the porridge and sipped it without pretending. “Which part of your body doesn’t feel well? Do you need me to call the doctor over?” Harold secretly glanced around. There was no trace of a man living here, and he suspected that Jessica had lied to him last night.
“No need.” Jessica took the documents and started flipping through them. Then, she said with a hoarse voice, “I’ve seen a doctor at the hospital and collected my medicine. Both of you may leave after visiting me. You should get back to work.”
“I just came back, so I don’t have much work. As for you, you need someone to look after you,” Harold said with a soft voice, “By the way, did you catch a cold because of the accident last night? When I called you yesterday, you answered the call but didn’t say anything for a long time. I was very worried.”
Stunned, Jessica looked up and asked, “When was that?”
“Didn’t you pick it up?” A strange look washed over Harold’s face. “Around 10:40 p.m. Weren’t you the one who picked up the call?”
Jessica finally saw the light. It was no wonder Forrest behaved like a madman after he returned home last night. She could roughly piece everything together from what Harold was saying. Harold must have said that he should have sent her home and that he should not have invited her over for dinner, which led to Forrest misunderstanding her.
