Hurley was terrified, he quickly pulled over the car and rushed over, “Jessica, I’m here!”
Jessica raised her head with blood covered her eyes, looking just like when she was in the ruined temple when she was young. Suddenly, she burst into tears and cried her heart out.
Hurley hurriedly carried her back to the car and checked her up and down, “Where do you hurt? Where did you get hurt?”
Jessica wiped away her tears and calmed down quite a bit, “It’s not my blood; it’s the damn pervert’s. I got on the car and found out the driver was a bad person. He tried to strangle me, then I knocked him out. I was afraid that he would wake up and hurt me again, and there’s no rope around to tie him up, so I cut him with a knife and let him blead. That way, he shouldn’t have much strength because of the loss of blood. I’m not sure if he’s still alive. Go have a look.”
Hurley had a severe look on his face, “I’d kill him even if he’s alive.”
He just wanted to take her home. His friend would take care of the rest.
After they got back at home, Jessica became extremely quiet. Hurley felt so guilty, “Wherever you go in the future, I’ll accompany you. It won’t happen again.”
Jessica touched her belly, “It’s my fault. How could I forget that I’m pregnant?”
If she had known she was pregnant, she would have stayed at home nourishing the foetus.
Hurley was silent for a while and asked, “You remembered?”
She nodded.
Hurley couldn’t help but ask again, “What about your childhood…”
Jessica lowered her head, said in a slightly muffled voice, “I’m a psychopath. Do you still love me?”
“I do.” Without a doubt, Hurley said affectionately, “To me, you are the cutest psychopath.”
That night, Jessica slept particularly soundly in Hurley’s harms.
Those big hands cradled her like a kind of protection that no one could hurt her.
Somehow, in sweet dreams, she silently shed tears, without sadness or desperation, just pure tears.
The next day, after waking up, she was sent to the hospital and had a full check-up properly.
The moment the doctor said everything was fine, Jessica and Hurley were both relieved.
Being pregnant is fragile.
On one hand, Jessica loved the baby she was pregnant with. On the other hand, she passed the buck to the baby. It was because of the baby brain that she did such stupid thing.
Also, she had her pride and she steadfastly refused to admit that her brain is a setup.
“You haven’t said a word since we got back. What’s in your mind?” Hurley asked. He had put aside all his work to accompany her through some examinations. Now he began to put on suit and tie to go back to work apparently.
Eagerly looking forward to his leave, Jessica immediately said, “I’m thinking about making you something special tonight.”
Hurley gave her a meaningful glance, “As long as it’s not something aphrodisiac.”
Thinking of the stupid thing she had done, Jessica turned red at a sudden. She couldn’t help but cover her forehead and shrank into the sofa, peaking through her fingers, “I thought you had premature ejaculation…”
Hurley said with a chuckle, “You seem to have a misunderstanding about my ability in some aspect. Well, I’ll clear the air with you in a few days.”
Knowing that she’s being shy, he walked over and fondled her head. The two snuggled for a while before he left.
Meanwhile, the driver was facing the calamity of imprisonment, and from him, they made a breakthrough and soon found the person behind the scenes.
It turned out to be Lucy.
