Forced Marriage: My Wife, My Redemption by Lilyheart

Chapter 51: Why not run some test on him?

After the chaos in the dining room, everyone returned to the sitting room, the atmosphere thick with unease, the tension palpable which is in stark contrast to the exquisite setting of the room as they all waited anxiously for the doctor’s diagnosis and Vera’s waking up.

Elder Allen sat with a stern expression leaning on his walking cane for support, Desmond’s face was impassive but his fingers were tightly interlocked, while Aaron paced anxiously his gaze drifting to Vera at intervals. Pamela and the other members of the second branch whispered among themselves.

Jessica silently wheeled Davis into the sitting room back to the spot they had occupied when they arrived initially. After she made sure he is comfortable, she sat down on the couch beside him while Ethan continued standing.

She felt the gaze of the family members on her— curious, angry, suspicion and confusion. She welcomed them all, her countenance brimming with confidence.

The whole evening has been a rollercoaster event for the family but none of the incidence is as intriguing as the lady before them. The drug Vera had administered isn’t one she should notice or perceive but the fact she had noticed it gave them an answer they didn’t want to admit... she is not simple.

It made them wary.

Jessica felt the weight of Davis’s silence beside her, but she didn’t turn to him, she didn’t know what is going on in his head but one thing she is certain is he is too calm.

Her focus was on elder Allen. Her mind spinning rapidly as she thought of ways to find her answer.

A maid entered with a tray of tea, carefully placing it on the center table before retreating without a word. Still, Davis said nothing.

Jessica finally let out a slow breath and spoke, keeping her voice even. "Are you okay?" she asked, her voice low.

Before he could respond, the door creaked open. A doctor stepped inside, holding a folder, his face grim.

"The results are in." He announced.
