Jessica returned to the room after dinner but did not see Wyatt coming over.

The housekeeper came over and asked, “Mr. Lopez is busy in the study. He wanted me to ask if you need a bath.”

Jessica turned down her offer. “I can do it myself. I’m familiar with the bathroom.”

“All right, then.”

Jessica did not know what else to do since she had no phone or television. The fact that she could not see made her feel worse. After sitting on the bed and zoning out briefly, she got up and walked along the wall to get to the bathroom.

An hour later, she came out of the bathroom and walked close to the wall again to find her way back to the room.

While walking, she accidentally knocked her toes against a cabinet. Jessica gasped in pain and gradually squatted down.

Others might plunge into despair if they had experienced vision loss, but not Jessica. It no longer bothered Jessica.

To her, losing her eyesight was probably the best thing that had happened at this stage.

Suddenly, she recalled what Jacob had said over the phone. “I sent someone to check and received some information. One died from serious injuries in the hospital, while the other passed away in a car accident. Both were cremated, and their ashes are placed at the funeral home.”

Jessica felt so dizzy that she nearly fell. No! No! That can’t be true!

Her entire body was shaking, even though she tried not to think about it. I’m sure Uncle Oliver and Aunt Danielle are still alive.

She believed Wyatt kept them away on purpose because he was worried that she might run away from him again. If I listen to him and do as he says, I’m sure Wyatt will allow me to meet them.

Oliver and Danielle were the only members left of her family. Jessica could not lose anyone of them.

She tried to convince herself that Wyatt was merely pulling her leg and she would eventually meet them tomorrow. After regaining her composure, she crawled onto the bed and tried to sleep.

Yet, Wyatt did not come to the bedroom despite her waiting for him the whole night.

While she was still in a daze, the housekeeper knocked on the door. “Mrs. Lopez, would you like me to bring you downstairs to have breakfast?”
