Married At First Sight Chapter 3881-3885 Chapter 3881

"You also lost your own child yourself. That child was part of the Brown family," Mrs. Brown snapped, her voice heavy with frustration. Though Sonny didn't live with them, Mrs. Brown still held a bitter attachment to the idea of their family legacy. When Jessica was pregnant, despite her reservations, she had softened. The child represented the Brown family's future, and for a time, Jessica's flaws were easier to overlook. But fate had intervened. Jessica's tragic fall and subsequent miscarriage not only robbed Mrs. Brown of her grandson but also reignited her simmering resentment. If that child had survived, Mrs. Brown might not feel so desperate for Sonny to return to their fold. Now, it all felt like retribution. Hank sighed, trying to calm the situation. "Mom, what's done is done. The baby's gone. Maybe it just wasn't meant to be. But Jessica is still my wife. It's my duty to see her, to take care of her. She wouldn't have ended up like this if it weren't for me. I'm the one who ruined her life." He sank into a reflective tone, recounting his mistakes. When Jessica became his secretary, she was young and naïve, with no intentions of starting an affair. But Hank, discontent with Liberty's post-pregnancy appearance and blinded by his own arrogance, had pursued Jessica. He'd seen himself as a successful manager, someone who deserved better than what he perceived Liberty could offer. Jessica, inexperienced and fresh to the professional world, couldn't resist his persistent advances. What started as harmless flirtation turned into something much deeper. Hank's selfishness had led Jessica down a path she never intended to take. "If it weren't for me," Hank murmured, "Jessica could've had a simple, happy life with someone else. Instead, she ended up here."

Jessica's imprisonment had been a dark turning point. Stricken with despair, she'd tried to end her life multiple times. It was only through persistent intervention that she finally abandoned her suicidal thoughts and chose to focus on rehabilitation.

Although her sentence was long, it wasn't a death sentence. Jessica held onto the sliver of hope that someday she might regain her freedom. Hank, despite everything, supported her from afar. He sent her supplies every month and visited twice a year, vowing that he'd wait for her release no matter how many years it took.
