“It was Damien. It was Damien, who said we could use Eugenia’s insurance. It has nothing to do with me!“}
“My son is still in intensive care. How dare you throw dirty water on him like this?”
Seeing that the matter was getting out of hand, Anselma hit back at Jessica and shouted, “My son treats you like a sister. And yet you
dare to frame him like this?“}
At that moment, Damien was out of danger and had also been taken out of the operating room after being stabilized.}
Suddenly, all the journalists swarmed around him, eager to get the scoop. Staring at the microphones and cameras thrust in his face, Damien clearly hadn’t processed what was happening yet.
He asked blankly, “What’s going on?”
“What is your relationship with Jessica? Is Eugenia your wife?“}
Why were the two of you rescued naked from the rubble? What were you doing at the time?“>
He looked at Jessica, who was crying with red eyes and me, who had nothing to do with it. He flew into a rage on the spot.
Pointing at my face, he cursed, “Eugenia, are you bullying Jessica again? I want to divorce you now!“>
Even though his mom was giving him subtle signals, he still insisted on his own way. On the other side, Jessica threw herself into Damien’s arms.
“Damien, please save me!”
She pointed at the director and accused him. “They want me to pay the medical expenses again. Didn’t you say it was already paid?“> “Yes, I have paid for it.” }
He added. “We’ve always used Eugenia’s account, so there’s no problem.“}]
“But they won’t accept it…”
Looking at Jessica’s tear–stained eyes, Damien forced himself to ignore the pain in his chest and held her in his arms.
He whispered comfortingly, “It’s okay. Even if it can’t be reimbursed, I’ll pay for it.”}
Hearing this, her eyes lit up immediately. She looked at me arrogantly.
Back in the ward, after keeping all the joumalists and influencers outside the door, Damien raised his chin arrogantly and ordered me, “Go and use your savings to cover the rest of Jessica’s expenses.“}
“Why should I?”
“If you hadn’t refused to go back, we wouldn’t have gotten hurt. It’s all your fault. You have to compensate Jessica Ledoyen.”
I was so angry that I laughed. “You were carried out naked. What were you doing at the time? Damien Arrowsmith, did you cheat on me?” Damien shrugged indifferently, “Yes, so what? I’ve already said that once everything settles down, I’ll divorce you.”
He looked at Jessica, who had lost both legs, with pity. He then said tenderly, “She was injured because of me, so I have to take responsibility for her.”
“Do you love me?”
He snorted coldly, revealing his true nature. “I’m only after your compensation money. If it weren’t for that, with your looks, I wouldn’t even give you a second glance!”
“Fine, don’t regret it.”
gripped the voice recorder in my sleeve and turned to leave. Looking at my resolute back, Jessica beside me felt complicated. “Damien, will there be any problems after this?”
Damien proudly hugged her in his arms. “I’ve already spent all her compensation money. Even if we divorce, Eugenia won’t get any advantage. In a few days, when I am in good health, we will get married.“}
He looked at Jessica and made a heartfelt confession. “Will you be my wife?“}
Jessica avoided his gaze. “Damien, let me think about it carefully, okay?”
Damien didn’t notice her hesitation and kissed her on the forehead. “Yeah, of course.”
He looked forward to proposing to Jessica on the day he recovered. But she disappeared as if she had evaporated from the face of the earth,
