Chapter 297 I Do Not Want To Live That Long

Rayna nodded, but she was still concerned. “You should go to the hospital to stay with Wyatt.”

“You need someone to keep you company too.”

“I’m fine. Really.” Rayna hugged his waist and snuggled in his embrace. “We should thank Wyatt. Heonly got injured because of us. Go to the hospital with Theodore. I’ll go and see Jasmine later.”

“All right. I’ll listen to everything you say.” Curtis felt warmth in his heart that she was so sensible. Hekissed her on the forehead. “Remember to let me know if you’re feeling unwell, okay?”

Rayna hummed in response.

Jasmine was worried about Wyatt too since he suffered a gunshot wound. Like Rayna, she also toldTheodore to visit Wyatt in the hospital.

After settling down the two ladies, Curtis and Theodore went to the hospital.

Once the ambulance arrived at the hospital, Wyatt was immediately sent to the emergency operatingroom. He did not panic as he knew his condition well and was aware of where the bullet hit him. On thecontrary, Jessica had been crying since they got inside the ambulance.

“I didn’t know you could cry for so long.” Wyatt could not hold back his urge to wipe away her tears, butthe bleeding made him unable to exert much force into his hand, so he said, “I’m fine. I won’t die.”

“I know.” Jessica nodded, but she was still crying. She held his hand tightly. “I’ll be waiting for youhere.”

“Give me a kiss to boost my morale then.”

Jessica was amused by his request. She leaned over and kissed him on the lips. Then, she steppedback and watched as the medical staff pushed him into the operating room. The doors were closedbehind them.

She leaned against the wall and clasped her hands together. Her hands could not stop trembling.

The scenes in the jewelry section in the mall that happened less than twenty minutes ago keptreplaying in her mind. She saw how Wyatt risked his life to protect her. He did not even want her to seehim taking the bullet for her.

Why is he so dumb? He’s such a fool. We barely know each other for that long, yet he already wants tomarry me. He listens to everything I say and even risks his life for me. Why does he never suspect thatI might have a hidden agenda to approach him?

Jessica was truly moved by his foolish actions.

She stood outside the operating room for a long time. Then, until she calmed down and stoppedtrembling, she went to a corner and changed her phone’s card before dialing a number.

It did not take long for the call to get through.

“Did you run into something urgent for you to risk everything and call me?” The man’s voice soundedhoarse. It seemed like he had damaged his vocal cord.

Jessica fell silent for a few seconds before saying in a low voice, “I’ve changed my mind. Gerald shouldbear the consequences of the things he did. Let’s not implicate his wife and son.”

“Are you showing mercy on your enemy?”

“I want to take my revenge, but I don’t want to hurt innocent people.”

“What did that man do to make you show mercy to them?” Jefferson sounded determined over thephone. “Well, I will not bother invading your privacy. You help me take care of Belle, and I’ll help youtake care of your troubles. That’s what we agreed upon before doing this together.”

“Jefferson.” Jessica could not help asking, “Is it worth all your effort to hold an event and make me askRayna out so that you can give her a gift and see her?”

He chuckled at that. “It’s invalid to discuss if it’s worth the effort or not to do something for someone welove. Just like how you’ve changed the rules because you’ve fallen for that guy.”

“That’s different.” Jessica continued, “With you coughing so much, can you even live for another threemonths? Why don’t you listen to the doctor and recuperate instead?”

“Death awaits me if I chose to recuperate,” said Jefferson calmly. “I don’t want to waste time staying inthe hospital. If I can see the woman I love, I’d be satisfied even if I only have one day to live.”

Jessica sighed after hearing that. She could not understand Jefferson. “There are five Ixora left.Jeremy, Curtis’ friend, has been doing research on the plant. Ringo got the news, so I guess he’sheading to Dartan now.”

“I didn’t tell him to go,” Jefferson said, unfazed. “That thing is still in the research period. He is wastinghis time traveling there. I don’t plan to live that long either. Three months is more than enough time forme.”

Jessica did not say anything in response.

She wondered if it was worth it for him to risk everything for the woman he loved.

Then, Jefferson continued, “I’ve arranged for someone to deal with Gerald. Do you need me to helpyou with Zephyr?”

“No, thanks. I owe you too much already,” said Jessica.

She saw Wyatt’s phone last night and found out what he did, so she did not need Jefferson to help herdeal with anything else.

“All right. How is Belle?”

“She—” Jessica was about to tell him what happened in the mall, but she heard footsteps approaching.She looked outside and saw Curtis and Theodore, so she quickly ended the call.

She rapidly cleared the call history and changed the phone’s card before putting her phone away andstepping out.

Curtis looked at her and asked, “How long has the surgery started?”

“Less than twenty minutes,” said Jessica. “You guys should go home. I can stay here.”

“If we’re deciding this based on our relationship with him, Curtis and I should stay here instead of you,”said Theodore coldly. His gaze turned gloomy and sharp. “Jessica, we aren’t fools. Just because wedon’t talk about certain things doesn’t mean we aren’t aware of them.”

Hearing that, Jessica was startled. Her pupils shrank, and she shuddered a little. Still, she forcedherself to stay calm and said nothing in response.

Theodore took in all the subtle changes in her expression. His tone grew colder as he said, “No one willstop you from taking your revenge, but you’d better leave Wyatt out of this and stay away from himonce you’ve accomplished your goal.”

She laughed at that. “When did you replace out?”

“When you first met Wyatt.” Curtis said calmly, “You have superb acting skills, by the way. You did yourresearch on Wyatt’s preferences and changed your personality and appearance accordingly, and youadjusted your tantrums very well each time. Be frank with us now. Did you leak the video and use thatto make Wyatt pity you?”

“No.” Jessica’s eyes flickered, but she denied it firmly. “I did not benefit anything from that video, so it’simpossible that I’d ruin myself by posting that video online just to win his heart.”

However, Curtis did not believe her words. “I refuse to think there are things you won’t do.”

Jessica pursed her lips. Her expression turned cold. “I know what I want to achieve, and I will neverhurt anyone innocent. But then, it’s true that I owe him this time.”

Curtis said, “I hope you keep your word then. I’m a very protective person. If your actions cross mybottom line, I will not show you mercy just because you’re a woman.”

The air between the three grew tense.

Right then, the red light above the operating room was turned off. Then, the doors were pushed openfrom the inside.

Wyatt lay on the stretcher with a bandage wrapped around his shoulder and chest. Aside from hisslightly paler face, he looked fine. Upon seeing Curtis and Theodore, he mumbled, “I told you I’m fine.Why did you come all the way here?”

Curtis glanced sideways at him and sneered. “We came to collect your body in case you died!”

“Curtis, how heartless of you to curse at me!” Wyatt protested. He wanted to take Jessica’s hand andlet her console him, but Theodore stood before Jessica with a grim expression.

Then, he said to Wyatt, “She’s tired and needs to get some rest.”

Theodore gave the nurses a pointed look. They quickly pushed Wyatt away from the operating room.

“But I’m injured. I need Jessie to stay by my side. Hey, hey, Theodore, you’re blocking Jessie…”Wyatt’s weak and upset voice slowly faded in the distance.

Curtis followed behind the nurses.

After they left, Theodore stepped aside and said coldly to Jessica, “We will take care of Wyatt. You canreturn to your hotel now.”
