After saying that, Myah turned to look at Ernest, “You are injured and hospitalized. You have delayed what you promised me. When you leave the hospital, I will double it.”
Maybe it was because Jessica was there that Ernest seemed to be particularly cautious. “You are still thinking about this matter.”
“Of course. I’m thinking about it. This is what you promised me. Don’t ignore it.”
“Okay, when I leave the hospital, I will keep my words.”
“Deal. Take good care of yourself. I’m leaving. Bye.”
Myah nodded at Jessica as she left.
Last time. Jessica heard that Ernest seemed to have promised Myah something. This time, Myah mentioned it again.
What was it that made it so mysterious?
Jessica felt that the way Myah talked to Ernest was somehow beyond friends.
“What is it, Jessica?” Ernest was a little stunned to see her.
“It’s nothing. Your test results are out. It’s normal. I showed it to the doctor. He said that there was no problem with this index. He will give you a check in two days. If there is no problem, you can be discharged.”
“Jessica, you have been taking care of me for a long time for me. I am going to be discharged soon. I’m alright. You should go to filming quickly. The previous breach of the contract has affected you negatively. You have to hurry up and save your image.”
Ernest’ tone was completely the tone of a senior in the entertainment circle.
Ernest could be considered Jessica’s senior. Although they were about the same age, Ernest had been in this circle for much longer than Jessica.
“It doesn’t matter,” Jessica said with a smile.
“It is no small deal to cancel the contract. You are now in the rising period. This will have a bad impact on you.”
Jessica lowered her head.
“Listen to me. Hurry up and let your PR team do some work. You have to immediately start working, otherwise, you will regret it!”
Maybe it was because of anxiety or something that Ernest’ tone is particularly harsh.
Jessica felt sad. Ernest was sending her away. Was it because of Myah?
“Okay, I will leave today.”
Ernest originally wanted to say a few more words, but when he saw Jessica immediately agree, he was quite upset.
Three days later, the doctor allowed Ernest to be discharged from the hospital. When he was discharged, Derek and Serina came.
In order to celebrate Ernest being discharged from the hospital, Derek booked a private room in a five-star restaurant.
The three of them were sitting around a table full of dishes. The atmosphere seemed a little cold and cheerless. Derek did not bring the kids over. Sometimes, it was inconvenient for them to talk when there were kids around.
“Ernest, let me toast you first. If you survive a great disaster, you will definitely have good fortune!” Serina reised her glass.
Ernest also raised his glass. “Yes, that’s right!”
Just as Serina was about to drink the wine, Derek took her wine glass from her. “Your foot injury hasn’t healed yet. Don’t drink.”
Derek then drank the wine in one gulp for Serina and brought her a glass of juice.
“My foot is not good, but I don’t drink with my feet!”
Serina retorted. Since Ernest was discharged, she found such a reason to come out. But she was not allowed to drink wine.
“You’re not allowed to drink. There’s no need for any negotiation. Ernest, you have just been discharged from the hospital. It is not suitable for you to drink. Just drink some tea.” Derek took away Ernest’ wine as well.
Derek then drank Ernest’ wine and poured him a cup of tea.
“Alright! He drinks it all!” Serina complained.
“Alright.” Ernest immediately mediates the situation.
“There’s just the three of us. We can’t drink wine yet. Why don’t you invite Jessica over? She has taken care of you for so long. You should thank her.” Serina patted Ernest on the shoulder.
“She should be quite busy recently.” Ernest didn’t want to meet Jessica.
Because they would be awkward when meeting each other, it was better to not meet.
“Are you so busy that you don’t even have time to eat? How about this? You invite Jessica over. She can drink for you, and my husband will drink for me. This is so great! Otherwise, my husband will drink for the two of us!”
As Serina spoke, she began to call Jessica.
Ernest did not stop her.
Unable to withstand Serina’s request, Jessica came over half an hour later.
Because the table was very big and there were many seats, Jessica sat very far away after she came over.
“Why are you sitting so far away from us? We don’t eat people. Come and sit next to Ernest.”
Serina said.
Jessica smiled and had to sit down beside Ernest.
“Jessica, you have to drink for Ernest. My husband will drink for me, and you will drink for him.”
“Letting a girl drink for me? what kind of man am I?” Ernest said.
“You are not a man in the first place. You are Ernest!” Serina laughed loudly.
“Come on!”
“Drink! Help yourself!”
Jessica picked up the glass and was too embarrassed to say “no”. Anyway, she was here.
“Alright, I’ll drink first.”
“Jessica is straightforward! She is not like you!” Serina patted Ernest on the head.
Jessica picked up the glass. When she was about to drink, she suddenly felt a burst of nausea. She retched and almost vomited.
“Excuse me.” Jessica immediately went to the bathroom.
They looked at each other, not knowing what was going on.
Just as Serina was about to go take a look, Jessica returned.
“Sorry, I haven’t had a good appetite these past few days.” Jessica smiled awkwardly.
Derek looked at Jessica and turned to Serina. “Don’t drink anymore. Let’s eat and chat.”
“Since Jessica is not feeling well, then we don’t drink anymore.” Serina took Jessica’s glass away.
“Waiter, a glass of juice,” Derek said.
After that, no one drank.
When Jessica went to the bathroom, Serina went with her.
Standing in front of the mirror, Jessica washed her hands, and Serina touched her.
“Are you … pregnant?”
Jessica was stunned.
Serina smiled wickedly. “I am an experienced person. Answer me honestly, are you pregnant? Is Ernest the father?”
