Chapter 3071

"She got away; Joan replied sadly.

When she got into the ward, the woman had already plunged a knife into Jessica's belly before turning on her heels.

The doctor had only got out of Jessica's ward after some time.

"Doctor, how is she doing?" Joan asked as she wiped away her tears.

The doctor took off his mask and shook his head with a grim look on his face.

"I'm sorry to say that we did not manage to save the baby.

The mother, however, is in a stable condition.

Nevertheless, she will need some quiet time to recuperate." Baby? What baby? Was Jessica pregnant? Flabbergasted at the revelation, Caspian wrapped his hands around his head.

Why am I not even aware that she's pregnant?Why didn't Jessica tell me? The truth was, even Jessica had no idea that she was pregnant.

The poor woman had to endure the loss of her child without even knowing that she had the baby in the first place.

"Why are you guys all here? I'm alright.

I just suffered a minor injury" Jessica managed a weak smile while she lay on the hospital bed.

Why is she so stubborn? How long is she planning to keep this from us? Should I tell her about the baby? She's going to be in despair if she knows about it.

Joan was on the fence about divulging the news to her friend, fearing that it might be too much of a shock to her.

"Joan, look at you.

Why are you crying? I'm really alright!" Jessica quipped.

The group left after chatting with her, leaving Joan and Jessica in the ward alone.

"Joan, you should know why I didn't let you leave," Jessica said ina serious manner.

Why would Nancy be so sad if I'm only hurt like that? She should be relieved that I'm actually alive.

However, Jessica found the grim look on Nancy's face alarming.

Have ! been diagnosed with some sort of terminal iliness? Or do I not have much time left? Ever since venturing into business, Jessica had improved by leaps and bounds in picking up on subtle expressions in other people.

"Didn't you ask me to stay so that I can take good care of you?" She's still trying to hide something from me.

Jessica was apprehensive as she clutched tightly onto her sheets.

"Joan, let's cut to the chase.

What did the doctor say just now? Don't worry, I can take it.

I know how my body is doing." She knows how her body is doing? Really? Then why is she still going around despite knowing that she's pregnant? She's not even taking good care of her own body. Joan was overwhelmed with a sense of frustration at the thought and replied, "It's nothing major.

The doctor mentioned that you're in a shock, and you need to take ample rest." Really? Did the doctor really say that? That can't be true! "If you're not going to tell me, I'm going to ask the doctor myself!" Jessica prepared to get off the bed herself right then.

"Alright, alright! Don't trouble yourself.

I'll tell you!" Joan went ahead to steady her and told her the truth.

Jessica did not manage to hold her emotions in.

She clutched on her belly and broke into a violent sob.

"It's all my fault!" She hit herself on the head and roared.

However, it was all too late.

No amount of regret or sorrow would be able to turn things back to the way it was.

"Where is that woman? I'm going to catch her! She has to pay blood for blood.

I will not let her get away from this.

I will make sure she stays behind the bar for what she's done!" Jessica demanded as she pushed Joan forcefully to one side.

Joan knew that Jessica would not let the woman off the hook if she had known about it.

However, the culprit was long gone.

Knowing the fact, Lisa had not attempted to escape.

On the other hand, she knew that everyone would start to point fingers at her, should she attempt an escape right then.
