There are still two days until the expert determines a suitable day for moving the tomb.Some preparations need to be made during these two days. Xander had already found workers for the move.It had been four years since Jessamine had visited her mother's grave, and she felt anxious. After dinner, Jessamine went to buy flowers and took her grandmother to the outskirts of the cemetery.Elizabeth's grave was clean, with a bouquet of withered flowers on top, indicating that someone had visited not long ago.Jessamine's gaze fell on the nearby tombstone, and her heart tightened when she saw the words on it."Grave of beloved wife Jessamine"This was the grave Thaddeus had made for her, adorned with her favorite white roses, now dried out.Gloria cried for a while at Elizabeth's grave, and when she saw the words on the tombstone, she snorted. "Who did this? It's so ominous! Our Jessie is perfectly fine. Why is there a tombstone for her here?"Jessamine quickly changed the subject

Inside the box, Jessamine found neatly folded couple's pajamas, two mended torn marriage certificates, and wedding rings—those her grandfather had bought for the newlyweds and one Thaddeus had given her later.There were also two sets of baby clothes that she had secretly bought and hidden in the closet on previous shopping trips.Jessamine chose the set of pajamas when the couple had just gotten married. She had meticulously selected them from the store, satisfied with everything from the style to the fabric. However, Thaddeus had refused to wear them no matter what. At that time, Jessamine often wore that pair herself and didn't care whether he wanted to wear them or not. She couldn't bear to throw it away even though it was worn out.Now, the sleeves of the new pair and the old pair of pajamas were tightly bound together, as if they were afraid of being separated.Countless memories flashed before Jessamine's eyes, and she tried her best to hold back her emotions. It felt li

"Hiss…"You damn bitch, you're stronger than I thought!"The man exerted force and pulled Jessamine down to the ground.Jessamine fought to calm herself as she caught sight of a tall man dressed in black clothing and wearing a mask. Her fear reached its peak. She tried to keep her composure. Her voice trembled as she spoke, "Who are you, and why are you looking for me?"The man chuckled. "Why am I looking for you? I want to do you!"As the man spoke, he grabbed Jessamine's arm and dragged her in another direction, where an old black car was hidden in the night.Jessamine struggled, but the man held her tightly.She noticed her car door just 2 feet away, already open, yet she couldn't reach it. A sense of despair washed over her, spreading through every nerve in her body.Faced with such a vast difference in strength between them, how could she possibly resist a burly man?In just moments, Jessamine was forcefully dragged into the car by the man, despite shouting for help unt

"Quickly, go! It's too late!" Jessamine shouted at him with tears in her eyes. Thaddeus's hands trembled as he reached for the knot, tying her up. He didn't have time to listen to what Jessamine was saying; he was completely focused.However, the knot was tied too tightly. It wasn't something that could be undone quickly.Large beads of sweat dripped from Thaddeus's forehead, falling onto Jessamine's skirt. She pleaded with him tearfully, "Hurry, don't untie it. It's too late..."Thaddeus struggled to keep himself calm, but the knot remained untouched. He glanced back and saw the sea just a few feet away from the car. The car keys were still in the ignition.He made the difficult decision to give up on untying the complex knot.As he walked away, Jessamine's emotions were mixed. She thought he had left. Although she wanted him to leave as quickly as possible, she couldn't help feeling sad when she saw him let go of the rope.But the next moment, she heard the sound of the car s

Jessamine was stunned by his words."I mean, in that situation, the chance of survival wasn't high. Why would you risk your life? Besides... I don't want you to die either."Thaddeus only heard the last sentence of Jessamine's speech, and it filled him with joy. So, she hadn't completely turned cold toward him.She still cared for him, afraid of him sacrificing himself, which was why she said what she did earlier.Thaddeus took her hand and pressed it against his face."But didn't we both make it out alive? I'll take the risk even if there's a slight chance. The worst-case scenario is dying together with you, but for me, even that wouldn't be so bad."Jessamine's heart skipped a beat, then she briefly calmed down and pulled her hand back."It's late, and you're tired too. Go back and rest. I'm fine here. If anything happens, I'll call the doctor. Thank you."Thaddeus felt a bitter pang inside. It was akin to being handed a piece of candy, sweet for a fleeting moment, only to be
