Gossip 80
Chapter 80 All That Is Need Is To Forget
Once they had delivered the bombshell news, Selena and Rosalie anxiously watched Isabella. Sure enough, the next second, Isabella's heartfelt thoughts blared through their minds.
Amnesia! For real? Let me see! Damn! It's true, and it's even that dramatic type where she only forgets one person! She has completely forgotten everything about William!
Selena and Rosalie were thinking the same thing, Evian and the doctors are still looking into the matter, but as expected, Bella obtains gossip the fastest. This is so interesting. Jessica only forgot about William?
Meanwhile, Isabella's mind was still running. How much must one detest someone to cause their own body to choose to forget all love and hate related to that person? But wouldn't this make her susceptible to William's manipulations? What if he shamelessly begs for a reconciliation... Ugh!
Selena and Rosalie echoed her sentiments.Content © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
What to do? I'm so curious! How will William react when faced with Jessica, who has lost her memory?
Both Selena and Rosalie were incredibly curious as well.
And so, the three of them exchanged glances.
"I've never actually visited where Evian works," Isabella commented.
Selena and Rosalie nodded, indicating that they had never been there either.
"Shall we go visit her together?" Isabella suggested.
Quickly, Selena and Rosalle turned around to make preparations for their journey.
Only after they arrived at the hospital did they call Evian to come down and meet them.
The three of them were initially a bit apprehensive, but as soon as Evian met up with them, she excitedly said, "Come with me quickly. The Sawyer family already knows about Jessica's condition and are on their way to the hospital room now."
Thus, the four busybodies went together to Jessica's hospital room, acting as if they were there to visit the patient.
As they reached the door, they could hear the raspy voice of William, filled with both deep affection and pain. "Jessica, do you really not remember me? I'm your husband!"
The quartet shuddered uncomfortably, growing increasingly worried.
However, the sound of Jessica's voice could be heard, lively and soaring. She sounded like a bright yet cautious female college student around strangers, radiating a certain vitality.
"I don't recall you in my memories, but I'm not a fool. I know you're Mr. and Mrs. Sawyer's son, and we were childhood sweethearts who got married. However, we're divorced now. I have photos of our divorce agreement and property settlement on my phone, and there's a wedding ring in the trash bin, so don't try to deceive me. You're nothing more than my ex-husband." "That was an accident. We actually intended to have a fake divorce. I never thought about-"
"Enough. Disregarding whatever original intentions you may have had, I know myself well, and I'm not the type to engage in such trivial games. I've never made rash decisions. Even if I've forgotten, I trust my past judgment. If I decided to let you go, it meant I no longer wanted you.
That's it! Don't even think about manipulating me. It's not happening!"
When Isabella and the others entered, they immediately noticed Jessica's serious expression. Despite her frall appearance, with white gauze wrapped around her head, her eyes were exceptionally bright. She no longer acted as she used to, focusing solely on William whenever she saw him. Instead, as soon as she noticed something else, her attention was quickly diverted toward Isabella and her group.
"Ah, it's you, Ms. Jeannet. Hello, I remember you. You previously helped me out at the mall, and I've seen you online too. Thank you for that scene you performed - it was a huge help." Jessica's smile was radiant as she expressed her sincere gratitude. The play had alleviated her fear of memory loss.
Isabella sald with a smile, "I heard you woke up, so I came to visit."
Who would have thought that without the interference of William in her life, she would be such a vibrant individual?
The trio from the Quirk family also found it unbelievable. It was as if they were dealing with a completely different person.
They had all met Jessica before. She had seemed like a wilting flower, slowly withering away. But now, she appeared as though she were a seedling, just breaking through the soil.
Isabella's gaze swept over the scene. She saw William kneeling in front of the bed, a pitiful picture of desperate pleading. His parents stood nearby, wiping away their tears.
The moment Jessica started speaking with Isabella, William was stunned. The feeling of being ignored by someone who had once loved him wholeheartedly was simply too terrifying.
"Jessica!" William urgently reached out, trying to grasp Jessica's hand. "Look at me. Even if you've forgotten, you should still feel something. You love me. You've loved me for so many years. I beg you, Jessica. Please, I truly can't be without you. I really..."
Unable to continue speaking, he broke down into sobs.
Jessica, however, was having none of it. She avoided his hand with visible disgust, not giving the other party any chance to touch her.
"I've loved you for many years? I must've been blind then. You're a man who cheated on me four years ago, so what is there to love? Your disloyalty? Your lack of respect? I even gave up my own dreams for you! Did you bewitch me or something?" After saying this, Jessica incredulously touched her head.
Perhaps it was the genuine look of disdain that had truly stung him, leaving William frozen in shock.
Despite their restraint, both Keanu and Aliya couldn't help but speak up then. Their voices wavered, cautious and tentative.
"This rascal did you wrong. He's thoughtless, lacks tact, and is utterly clueless, but he truly loves you. These past few days, he neither ate nor drank while you were unconscious. He was like a living dead. We believe that you hold a special place in his heart."
"We despise this brat too, but... could you possibly give him a chance? Since all the bad memories have been forgotten, could you let him take care of you for the rest of your life?" Upon hearing these words, the quartet from the Quirk family was truly rendered speechless.
Fortunately, Jessica was no longer confused.
"Mr. and Mrs. Sawyer," she began, "since he's the one who wronged me, I see no need for apologies. You've watched me grow up, so you should understand my nature. I could never be with someone I don't love, let alone after knowing all the things he's done to hurt me. I can't even stand the sight of him now. If he were to constantly appear before me, I feel like I would need another surgery."
Jessica, holding her freshly operated head, acted as though she had a headache.
This had the spectating quartet smiling in amusement.
"William, you should treat our past like it's dead and buried. Let's part on good terms, and I might still hold you In some regard." Having said that, she waved her hand dismissively. "Mr. and Mrs. Sawyer, please take him away. I don't want any disturbances during my recovery." William's body wavered, almost unable to stay upright. "Jessica! Jessica! I truly realize my mistake now. I now know that you're the only woman in my heart. Anyone else is merely an illusion. I..."
"Really?" Jessica suddenly raised an eyebrow and spoke, picking up her phone from the side and tapping on something. Then, with a serious expression, she began to recite, "October 10th. I finally understand why William has been distant with me recently. He got drunk, held me, and shouted 'Jen, don't leave, then he kissed me. He even tried to hug me. I was disgusted. He never calls me Jess, so I did some research, and it turns out, a year ago, a woman named Jen
left."
At these words, William's face turned pale, his pupils trembling in disbelief.
The quartet who were casually observing the situation felt utterly disgusted. They all looked at William with contempt.
"And you still say I'm the only woman?" Jessica scoffed before continuing, "October 12th. I decided not to tell William that I'm pregnant. I can't keep this baby. It wouldn't be fair to it if I decided to leave him. He doesn't deserve to be my child's father in his current state."
It was as if the air around him solidified upon hearing those words. William was taken aback, as though someone had grabbed him by the throat. With reddened eyes, he stared at Jessica. "A baby? We had a baby?"
