Crossroads

Chapter 35

“They look so alike…”

The people behind watched Stephanie and the suddenly appearing Jessica with astonishment on their faces.

Stephanie, do you have a twin sister?” E

Vincent was curious, leaning closer to her and asking.

Stephanie ignored him, looking up at Dominick. Faint murmurs of admiration came from them, and a sense of loss surged within her. It felt as if she were a mere replica.

She saw the reunited couple embrace each other affectionately. Dominick’s usual icy gaze was unexpectedly gentle as he looked at Jessica in his arms.

Jessica, tearful in Dominick’s embrace, seemed sensing Stephanie’s gaze, turning her head towards Stephanie.

In just a second, even Jessica was shocked by their striking resemblance.

Stephanie still wore a frozen expression, unsure of how to react.

Suddenly, Jessica went limp, and she closed her eyes.

“Jessica…” Dominick shook her, filled with anxiety.

“Jessica is very weak,” another helicopter landed nearby, and Scott ran over, urging Dominick. “Take Jessica to the hospital immediately. The doctors advised against her leaving, but she insisted on coming to see you first.”

Upon hearing Scott’s words, Dominick hastily picked her up and hurried towards the helicopter.

The accompanying personnel didn’t hesitate and immediately opened the door. Dominick carefully placed the pale Jessica in the

seat.

Stephanie stood behind, watching him intently.

The helicopter immediately started and rushed towards the hospital. Stephanie watched it take off, her right hand clenching slightly…

Stephanie looked down, a sense of loss flooding her. He had forgotten about her….

He held his beloved Jessica tightly and left in a hurry.

But he forgot about Stephanie there.

“Just now, he said he would stay with me, and now he forgets so quickly…” she murmured, staring at her left hand, recalling the strength with which he held it.

Then suddenly, she realized why he had been so kind to her. It turned out that this so–called care never belonged to her from the

start.
