Semua Bab Bright Future With Him: Bab 131 - Bab 140

Wendy's expression froze at Karen's words. "I … Mrs. Quinton, you've got it wrong! It's her!"Karen interrupted, "I don't care what you're planning. But my son, Matthew, is not as foolish as your neighbor's daughter."It's best for you to settle these family matters once and for all. Jessica had married into our family. So, everything will be decided by the Quinton family. You better wake up from those fantasies!"Karen made her words clearer than before.Wendy's face turned pale before turning red as she listened. Although Karen's statement was reasonable, Jessica was still upset at her words.Holding back her anger, Wendy replied, "That's not true, Mrs. Quinton. When Jessica married into your family, our families got united. How could families be divided like that? Don't you think so?" "Who said we'll be one family?" Karen's anger surged instantly.She no longer kept her calm. She fiercely retorted, "In all the years that Jessica has been married into our family, we haven't g

Kathryn hadn't expected Jessica's emotions to escalate to such an extent. She was even willing to risk her life to protect Kathryn. Wendy was also taken aback by Jessica's extreme behavior. "Wh-What are you doing? Put the knife down.""Jessica, put the knife down!" Kathryn was also shocked. She looked at Jessica anxiously.Jessica's voice softened as she said, "Kathryn, be a good girl and leave first.""But how can I leave you like this?" Kathryn's voice was strained, almost suffocating."How can I calm down if you're here? Please go, okay?" Jessica regretted calling Kathryn over and not being more assertive earlier. Why had she let Wendy continue to wreak havoc in her life?Seeing Jessica's current state, Kathryn couldn't leave her without worrying. Controlling her tone, she approached Jessica and urged, "My dear sister, please put the knife down.""Leave. I'm begging you. Please go!" Jessica's emotions grew even more turbulent as Kathryn approached. She pressed the knife agai

Chris let out a sigh and dialed a number on his phone. It was one of the company employees who lived nearby. He instructed them to go and check the situation inside. Seeing him make arrangements warmed up Kathryn's heart.Over the years, no matter what happened, her first thought was always about how to solve the issue. It was because she could only rely on herself. But now, Chris gave her a sense of security she had never had before.After finishing the call, Chris said, "Wait for ten minutes."Kathryn nodded. "Okay."Seeing that Chris wasn't rushing to leave, she felt much more reassured. She was genuinely worried about Jessica. Considering Jessica's trembling figure and the desperation she felt tonight, Kathryn wondered how much pain she must have been in to resort to such actions.On the other hand, Matthew had returned to the house. Wendy wanted to tell Matthew about Karen's actions. Just as Karen came out of the room, a heated argument between the two sides erupted. Finally,

The doctor was undergoing emergency treatment for Jessica. Matthew and Karen were very worried about her. Nobody was able to reply to Kathryn's question.Kathryn's tears fell, and her gaze kept on Jessica's pale face. She dared not look away from her."I didn't! I swear I didn't!" Wendy said in bewilderment aside. Jessica's heartbeat recovered, and the staff carried her into the ambulance.Matthew and Karen wanted to follow into the ambulance, but Matthew stopped Karen. "Kelly's at home. You have to stay.""Okay. Do you have enough cash with you? I'll give you some." Karen was tense, but there was no sign of her usual dispute. She really wanted to follow the ambulance to the hospital. Matthew shook his head. "I think I have enough."Kathryn also wanted to follow, but Karen stopped her. "You have to stay. There's something you need to settle."Kathryn couldn't rest assured, but the ambulance door had closed and left. It was then that Kathryn finally glanced at Wendy, who was k

Kathryn stayed by Jessica's side until Matthew returned. Only when Matthew reassured Kathryn that he would always be by Jessica's side did Kathryn finally agree to leave. Still, she wasn't completely reassured. Jessica, too, urged her to go. It was already 4:00 am when she returned to Rexton Manor from the hospital. She was so tired that she immediately lay down on the couch. She wanted to sleep, but Chris dragged her out and said, "Go and have a bath.""I don't want to." Kathryn was exhausted. Plus, she was still worried about Jessica. So, she had no motivation to do anything else.Chris raised his brows. "I'll help you, then?"Chris was a neat freak. He couldn't bear the thought of Kathryn sleeping on the couch without bathing. He feared she would dirty it.Kathryn quickly jumped up from the couch after she heard him say so. "I'll do it myself."She rushed to the bathroom immediately after.As Kathryn was taking a shower, she realized a serious problem. She had forgotten to g
