Maisha looked at Kevin in confusion. She had never heard of Kevin getting married.

 "Mr. Kevin, we have lived abroad for so many years and are not aware of the news in the country. What does my daughter have to do with you?"

Kevin looked at Maisha calmly, then said with an expressionless face, "Even if there was a relationship, it is in the past. I am now in the process of getting a divorce."

Jessica did not expect that her sincerity for so many years would only be a thing of the past spoken from Kevin's lips.

Angry? Of course Jessica was angry.

What broke her heart even more was that her blind self had regarded that sadistic creature like an animal as a valuable treasure.

 Jessica took out a diamond ring box, then threw it hard at Kevin's head while saying, "Bastard, bastard! The thing I regret most in my life is being related to you. Tomorrow at nine o'clock we'll go to the Civil Registry Office. Those who don't come are losers! 

The box hit Kevin's forehead until it turned red, then it fell to the floor. The ring was thrown to the side of his feet. This time Jessica didn't even glance at Kevin. She immediately stepped on the ring and left after slamming the door. 

In the past two years, Jessica had experienced a lot. This time it was like the culmination of all the burdens she had borne. She couldn't hold on any longer, finally she fainted on the side of the road. 

Looking at the raindrops that kept falling from the sky, this world seemed to be hostile to her. 

She felt like she wanted to die. 

In this world full of deceit, she had nothing to miss. 

When she woke up again, Jessica was in an unfamiliar room. The warm yellow light dispelled the darkness, the warm temperature in the room felt like the dry season. 

"You're awake." 

 Jessica opened her eyes and saw Jonas' gentle eyes. "Jonas, you saved me?"

"I saw you fainted on the side of the road when I got home from work, so I brought you home. I saw that your clothes were soaked, so I told the maid to change your clothes."

The man had a clear, clean, and sincere gaze, without the slightest lust.

"Thank you, Jonas," Jessica said.

"I've cooked porridge, you drink some warm water first."

Jessica opened the blanket and got out of bed. "No need, Jonas. It's late at night, I won't bother you anymore," Jessica said.

Jessica, who was weak, immediately fell to the ground when her feet had just touched the floor. Jonas quickly helped her up, the fragrant scent of detergent from the man's body wafted into Jessica's nose.

This was the same as the laundry detergent used in her house. Kevin's body used to smell like this too.

Every time she thought of Kevin, there was definitely a pain that stabbed her heart.

"You are too weak now. If you want to live longer, don't push yourself too hard." Jonas advised gently, "Just think of it as your father's." 

Jessica's eyes, which were not shining before, now showed a little hope. "Then, I'll trouble you," Jessica said. 

Jessica saw the man busy in the kitchen. Actually, Jessica and Jonas did not often have contact. Jessica had just entered her first year of college when Jonas was already in his fourth year. Jonas was the one who presented the award to Jessica when Jessica was selected as an exemplary student. 

At that time, Jonas had been an intern at a famous hospital. He was rarely on campus. Then, Jessica met Jonas at the hospital. After that, Jessica and Jonas started to have more contact. 

This relationship could not be an excuse for Jessica to always trouble Jonas. 

Jessica only felt her stomach a little more comfortable after eating porridge and taking stomach medicine. 

Jonas returned to discussing the issue of chemotherapy. "Medical science is very advanced now. You are only in the advanced stage, some advanced cancer patients can still live. So you have to believe in yourself. Chemotherapy is a very effective treatment," Jonas explained.

Jessica lowered her head and said, "I am also a medical student, I know the benefits and side effects of chemotherapy."

Jonas continued his advice, "The chance of recovery after chemotherapy and surgery is very high. The side effects are indeed high, but if you have the confidence to persist..."

Jessica slowly looked up. Her eyes were teary. She used all her strength to hold back her tears. Her lips trembled and her voice trembled as she said, "But... I can't stand it anymore."

Jonas wanted to comfort Jessica, but his words stopped at his lips. He couldn't say anything when he saw Jessica's red eyes. Jonas' heart felt a little blocked.

After a while, he asked, "Jessica, is there no one you care about in this world?"

Jessica was silent for a moment, then slowly answered, "Only my father."

 "Then, for your father's sake, you should also live well."

Jessica smiled bitterly as she said, "Thank you, Sis. I feel much more comfortable now, I won't bother you anymore."

Jonas saw that Jessica's wedding ring that had never been taken off her hand had disappeared. He wanted to say something, but in the end, no words came out of his mouth.

"Where are you going? I'll take you."

"No need. I've called a taxi, it'll be here soon." Jessica refused firmly, so Jonas could only agree. However, Jonas had other thoughts. Jessica looked sad when she said that earlier, so Jonas was afraid that Jessica would commit suicide, so he secretly followed Jessica from behind.

The car drove to the edge of the river. Jessica was alone daydreaming while staring at the river water. Although the rain had stopped, the air temperature was still very low. Jonas originally wanted to approach her to persuade Jessica, but an MPV suddenly stopped beside Jessica.

 The car door opened, and an elegant-looking man who had long been the headline of economic magazines appeared under the streetlight. 

Jonas was shocked, then wondered in his heart, "Could Jessica's husband be him?!"
