His Precious Love

Chapter 385

When Jessica realized something was wrong with the food and tried knocking on the door to get it changed, there was nothing but silence on the other side.

Eventually, she gave up and decided not to touch the remaining meals. Instead, she got hot water from the bathroom and drank it with her medicine before hiding under the blankets to sweat out the fever.

Her head felt constantly heavy, and the lack of food had left her looking even paler and more haggard. In an attempt to conserve what little energy she had left, all she did was lay in bed the whole day.

Thankfully, the fever went down after a few days, and Jessica slowly came out of her daze.

Now that she was feeling better, she decided to get out of bed and sit by the door.

When the housekeeper came to deliver the meal, she grabbed the unsuspecting woman’s hand and showed her the note she had written: Why are you giving me expired food? Are you trying to kill me?

Stunned, the housekeeper quickly denied it. “I’m only acting on Mr. Lopez’s orders! I’ve informed him about your fever, and he said you could either eat the food or leave it. In any case, you’re not allowed to step out of the bedroom.”

Of course, Gianna had coached the housekeeper on what to say, but Jessica was none the wiser.

Ah, I remember how Wyatt cut my food in half to stop me from escaping and even threatened to break my legs if I ran… Who knows? He might have given me these expired foods to punish and humiliate me further. That scenario doesn’t seem far-fetched at all.

Jessica’s gaze darkened as she picked up her pen and wrote: Can you lend me your phone for three minutes?

The housekeeper was clearly about to reject when Jessica pressed a diamond ring into her hand and scribbled another line of words: I’m worried about a friend and want to know how she’s doing. All I’m asking for is three minutes. I’ll delete the text after sending it. No one will find out you lent me your phone if you keep it a secret, and best of all, you’ll get to keep this diamond ring.

Seeing that it was at least a three-carat diamond ring, it didn’t take long before the housekeeper fell prey to temptation.

“Three minutes it is. Please hurry up, Ms. Marsh,” she said while sliding her phone over.

Jessica mouthed a simple “thank you” and quickly sent a text to Rayna: Nana, this is Jessica. I was busy before and didn’t manage to answer your calls. I’m so sorry. Anyway, I kept calling you that day because I wanted to tell you about Kristie. I think she might be going to Frosa to look for you.
