His Precious Love

Chapter 501

Chapter 501

Jacob was stumped.

He thought she was just kidding, so he waved his fist in front of her and acted as if he was going to hit her.

Still, she didn't even blink even when he was so close to punching her.

After ascertaining she wasn't making fun of him, Jacob went to look for the doctor.

Pin-drop silence ensued after Jessica heard the sound of the door closing. The quietness prompted fear to creep into her heart, especially when she couldn't see a thing after losing her vision.

She could only grasp her blanket.

Upon arriving at Yartran, Jessica was arranged to stay in a residential area with a housekeeper to care for her.

However, after staying there for a few days, a few men suddenly barged into her house.

They killed her housekeeper in front of her eyes, and she passed out after someone hit her before she could react.

By the time she woke up, she couldn't see anymore.

Those people wanted to touch her, but she retaliated by scratching them. As a result, she infuriated them, causing them to kick and whip her. They even discussed wanting to send her to some unknown place.

Then, she waited until she couldn't hear any more sound from those people before trying to figure her way out by groping the wall.

Perhaps because of her blindness, those men didn't take any precautions to prevent her from escaping, allowing her to fumble out of the hellhole.

She didn't know where she was. When she heard people talking, she asked them where the police station was. Unexpectedly, she stumbled into a group of hooligans.

Jessica was grateful that Jacob lent her a helping hand upon seeing her in that predicament.

Otherwise, she would be doomed.

While her mind raced, Jessica heard someone opening the door and the voice of a man talking in Anglandurn.

“There seems to be something wrong with her eyes.”

The eye specialist walked over and examined Jessica's condition.

Then, he asked her, “Did your eyes get burned, or did you hit your head somewhere recently?”


Clutching the blanket, Jessica replied to the doctor, “No. I lost my vision right after waking up.”

“Did you consume any unsafe food?”

“No.”

The doctor wanted to let Jessica undergo a CT scan.

Jacob, standing at one side, said at once, “She's pregnant and is currently taking labor suppressants, so she shouldn't be able to undergo any of these procedures, right?”

After hearing that, Jessica caressed her stomach in relief and contentment.

She survived the past few days in a daze without fully wrapping her mind around the circumstances. Jessica thought she would experience a miscarriage, so she didn't dare to ask Jacob about her pregnancy status when she woke up. To her surprise, her baby was still safe.

The eye specialist elaborated, “I didn't notice anything unusual after the examination. Her condition should only be a temporary loss of vision. We'll keep her here for further observation. If nothing changes, we'll perform a detailed checkup after she gives birth.”

Following the doctor's departure, Jacob slumped into the chair and massaged his hurting temples. “What sin have I committed? Alas! If I had known how much trouble would ensue for saving you, I wouldn't have meddled in your business.”

Unwilling to give up, he asked Jessica, “Do you really not remember your friend's name or address?”

She shook her head.

Initially, she wanted to tell him Rayna's phone number, but when she was reminded of how busy Rayna was, Jessica gave up on that thought as she didn't want to add to Rayna's trouble.

Jessica pursed her dry and cracked lips. “We came here for vacation, and I got separated from my friends. I-I don't remember their contact numbers either.”

“Where's your passport? You don't have that too?”

“I think I lost it.”

“D*mn it!” Jacob pulled his hair out and was on the verge of shedding tears. “You can't hope to rely on me the whole time while you couldn't establish contact with your friend. I also have plenty of personal matters to attend to!”

Suddenly, he recalled something. “That's right! You must know the phone number of your child's father since you're pregnant!”

Jessica's eyes glinted as she muttered, “I forgot his number.”

Jacob was rendered speechless.

He lay in the chair in hopelessness, contemplating whether he should hand Jessica over to the embassy.

From the corner of his eyes, he caught sight of her touching her body blindly as if she was going to remove her clothes. In fright, Jacob leaped up from the chair and retreated toward the door.

“Stop that. I'm not interested in you.” His facial features were arranged into a bitter expression. “It's fine if you can't remember the details. Let's continue to chat nicely, okay?”

Jessica felt something inside her undergarment.

After making sure she didn't lose the item, she removed it from her underclothing and showed him the necklace in her hand. “Will it be enough for me to repay you with this?”

Jacob breathed a sigh of relief. “So, you were looking for something. You gave me a fright.”

He thought Jessica was trying something funny.

Jacob received the necklace from her.

The dazzling pendant was made from a precious stone crafted into the shape of a sunflower.

“My goodness! This is a limited edition necklace from Van Cleef & Arpels.” Jacob frequently gifted his female companions jewelry, so he was relatively well-versed in recognizing such luxurious accessories.

The jewel pendant in his hand was apparently an exorbitant, authentic piece.

Not to mention, he vaguely recalled seeing someone wearing a similar sunflower pendant.

Jessica hummed in response. “Please help me sell this necklace, and I'll give you the cash as compensation. Can you please assist me in finding a place to stay and hire a housekeeper for me? I'm fine with the cheapest options available. You can keep the rest of the money.”

Jacob asked curiously, “Since you were separated from your friend and got lost, wouldn't it be easier if I send you to the embassy for them to arrange transportation for you to go back to the country? Why do you need me to help you look for a residence? Are you planning to stay here?”

“I-I don't really wish to go back. It'll be inconvenient for me to return in this state anyway,” Jessica answered.
