After taking a while to suppress his anger, Wyatt poured a bowl of mushroom soup and fed her one mouthful at a time.

Given that her stomach was already close to empty, Jessica stopped puking after having one bowl. Only then did the scowl on Wyatt’s face fade.

After they were done with dinner, Wyatt helped Jessica upstairs.

As the two of them settled down on the couch, Wyatt held her hands and asked softly, “Jessie, tell me. Were you planning on aborting the twins? Or was there some other reason?”

At that moment, he felt her squirm abruptly in his hands. He looked up and noticed the uneasy expression on her face.

Convinced that something was amiss, he probed further, “Can you tell me how you lost the babies?”

The anxiety within Wyatt grew when silence was all he got from her.

Tightening his grip, he said, “I’ll let your uncle and aunt go if you tell me.”

Jessica questioned him at once, “Did you really hide them?”

“Yes…” Knowing that she wasn’t behaving normally, Wyatt tried hard to keep himself together. “Tell me, please. Where did you go on my birthday? How did you lose the babies?”

“I…” Jessica’s lips moved, but her voice was soft. Wyatt edged closer to listen. “I went to Rayna’s mother’s shop, hoping she could tell me where Kristie was. After that, I bumped into Gianna when I was about to leave…”

Wyatt’s breath hitched. “And then?”

“We went to the stairwell to talk. She told me she knew the reason I was trying to get close to you and threatened to expose me. I told her to go ahead and attempted to leave, but she grabbed me and shoved me.”

Tears of agony and resentment streamed down her cheeks as she relived the traumatic incident.

Her eyes had turned red, and her voice began to choke. “I had no intention of aborting them and pleaded with the doctor to save them. However, the doctor told me she had done her best. I’m sorry. I-I failed to protect them.”

The revelation sent Wyatt into a long state of shock.
