More to it? Jessica was the one who had an abortion and informed me later. Was there more to it? Wyatt mused as he went over what Jacob said. Jacob is right. If Jessica truly did not want the child, she could have gotten rid of it overseas.

With that, Wyatt’s eyes cleared up. “I’ll ask her. I promise not to get into an argument.”

“You shouldn’t be arguing with her, to begin with,” Jacob muttered exasperatedly.

Recalling the time he brought Jessica to the hospital and the doctor’s words, he threw a glance at Wyatt.

“Wyatt, there’s something I need to tell you.”

“What?”

Jacob’s expression was grim as he looked at Wyatt. “Even if Jessica did not get an abortion… She could not keep the child.”

Wyatt fell silent.

“Do you recall the time I brought you back to my place when you were drunk? The next day, Jessica did not respond when I called out to her. So I went in to check on her and found her drenched in cold sweat. I sent her to the hospital then.”

Jacob sighed. “The doctor said that her body is in a bad condition and advised her to improve her health before giving birth. I’m not too familiar with how dire a woman’s body’s condition can get, but apparently, if it gets worse, she can no longer bear children.”

Wyatt was not unaware of Jessica’s poor health as he had been informed by a doctor before. Coupled with Jacob’s words, guilt suddenly sprang up from within himself. He blamed himself for everything. Grabbing his hair, he felt incredibly helpless and bitter. “I never wanted to hurt her. I only wanted to…”

Jacob reached out and patted Wyatt on the shoulder. He comforted the other man, “That’s enough. Don’t blame yourself. The reason I told you all this is because I hope you won’t put the blame on her now that the child is gone. I hope you will treat her well. Doesn’t Jeremy have a lot of connections? Perhaps you can ask him for help. Maybe there might be a solution.”

“Jacob,” Wyatt murmured after a brief pause. “Thank you so much.”

If Jessica had not encountered Jacob that day and had not been saved by him, how much worse would things have become?

Jacob was taken aback. Grinning, he replied, “What are friends for? There is no need to thank me! Well, if you really want to do so, you can let me join in if you encounter any good business opportunities.”

Wyatt tapped the other man’s chest with his fist. “Don’t worry. I will.”

“Deal!”
