Chapter 385 Jessica Has An Idea

“You spent most of your time at the hospital looking after Pearl. As for me, I was busy taking care of Matthew a little while ago, and now, I have to take care of Dominic every day. Honestly, the hospital isn’t a nice place,”

Although Dominic and Matthew were both admitted to individual VIP wards where no other patients were present, she inevitably saw her fair share of last goodbyes and despair after walking around hospitals that often.

Having stayed at the hospital for some time, she felt her mood would also be affected. Perhaps that was why she could never become a doctor in her lifetime.

Watching people die every day or seeing someone be diagnosed with a terminal illness made her sad.

“What happened to Dominic?”

Even though Jessica was not close to Domine, she was still acquainted with him. Moreover, he had previously helped her contact doctors. Of course, he was only willing to help her because of Elizabeth.

Even so, she felt she should visit him when he was ill at the moment.

*He got into a car accident during New Year and lost his sight.”

“What?”

Jessica’s mouth fell slightly agape, and she heaved a sigh. “How could that be? He’s such a good person. Lizy, I’ll go and visit him tomorTOW. Which hospital is he at?”

“This one.” Elizabeth said as she sent Jessica the hospital’s address.

“Lizzy, is Matthew okay with you taking care of Dominic like this?”

Jessica felt that Matthew would surely disapprove of it. After all, she had seen how petty Leonard could be. Back when she had just signed a contract with him, she still went to work at Night City.

Since she sold liquor, it was only natural that she would have to drink on the job. The male customers would also always see the opportunity to take advantage of her.

Once, a man placed his hand on her shoulder and tried to lead her somewhere when Leonard dragged him away. By the time she hurried outside, the man was so severely beaten that he was practically unrecognizable.

That was the first time she experienced the intensity of a man’s possessiveness.

After that incident, Leonard continued hanging around Night City for some time, keeping a close eye on her.

Anyone who dared to get too close to her would get beaten up. In the end, he told her to quit her job and prohibited her from having contact with other men,

“We may only be in a contractual relationship, but as long as the contract is still valid, please watch yourself,” he had said.

Considering that Matthew and Leonard were good friends and they were both born with silver spoons in their mouths, Jessica guessed that their preferences would be pretty similar.

There was a long pause before Elizabeth finally replied, “What do you think?”

That man fired me because of this incident. He was livid at the time.

“Lizzy, men care a lot about such a matter. Besides, you know very well that Dominic harbors feelings for you. You need to handle this properly.”

“Got it.” Elizabeth answered, feeling the onset of a headache.

Before hanging up, Jessica could not refrain from adding, “There’s nothing an intimate session can’t solve.”

She hung up immediately after that, leaving Elizabeth puzzled. What on earth is she talking about?

If it were before, there was no way the latter would have understood it. However, it became clear to the current her in an instant, and a blush crept to her cheeks.

Holding her phone, she sent Jessica a text message: Jessica Frye, come clean. How do you know so much about that? Is it because romance has sparked between you and Mr. Johnson?

Jessica replied: I’m being serious, Lizzy. If you don’t believe me, give it a try. As long as you take a little more initiative, Mr. Hilton will surely surrender to you. She ended the message with two smirking face emojis.

Elizabeth stared at the two emojis and took a deep breath.

Nicolas said Matthew isn’t supposed to engage in strenuous activities, but I can. I’ll go and appease him tonight. After all, I’ll have to stay by Dominic’s side for as long as his sight doesn’t recover. IfI manage to pacify Matthew now, it’ll make things easier for me in the future.

After getting the report, Elizabeth glanced through it but soon gave up when she realized she could not make sense of it.

She walked back to the inpatient building with the report, handed it to one of the nurses at the nurses’ station, and returned to the ward.

Dominic was listening to opera music while leaning against the headboard. Elizabeth used to be quite fond of listening to operas. However, she had not done so in many years since she started getting too busy juggling life’s demands and raising her children.

“Dominic, Brian will stay with you tonight. I’m going home to check on the kids.”
