Chapter 166
Hannah knew that Jessica was unharmed, so she didn’t stay long at Jessica’s place.
After Hannah left, Jessica grabbed something to eat and took a nap. By the time she woke up, it was already afternoon.
She felt much better now. Thus, Jessica decided to drive to a boutique. Lucas tore the collar of her dress apart yesterday. She needed a new one.
Jessica’s apartment, located in an expensive area in LA, was quite posh with good privacy. She didn’t have to worry about being snapped there.
With a sound, the elevator came to a halt. Jessica walked into the underground garage.
She turned a comer, and she immediately saw Lucas standing in front of her car.
It had only been a few hours since they parted. Jessica wondered what brought Lucas here.
Besides, Jessica didn’t understand why Lucas had decided to wait in the garage rather than going upstairs and knocking on her door.
“Mr. Thomas. Why are you standing there? You are not asking me to buy you coffee, aren’t you?” Jessica tucked her hair behind her ear as she spoke.
“Jessica.” Lucas looked at Jessica with a serious look in his golden eyes. “Did you go to the hospital to have a checke up yet?”

Jessica paused at what Lucas said.
Before Jessica responded, Lucas had gone and stood next to the driver’s seat of Jessica’s car. He then said, “We have no idea what the drug from yesterday was. You should go to the hospital. What if there are some lingering effects?”
“I’m alright.” Jessica gazed at Lucas, but she didn’t move.
Jessica recalled what happened last night and somehow felt a bit embarrassed. The netizens were all gossiping about what was going on between Lucas and Jessica. If they showed up together, they would be providing more stories for the paparazzi.
“You are not a doctor. Your judgment doesn’t count.” Lucas pursed his lips. He saw the vigilance in Jessica’s eyes and felt a sting in his heart.
Lucas paused and said, “Get in the car. I’ll drive. I have an appointment with my private doctor.”
Jessica originally didn’t want to go, but when she heard that it was a private doctor, she decided to follow Lucas. After all, it was for her own sake. Thus, Jessica unlocked her car door.
Lucas drove to a high-class private clinic.
The two of them didn’t need to go through the formalities there. A nurse led them directly into a room for examinations.
The results said that Jessica was in good health.
After walking out of the doctor’s office, Jessica glanced at Lucas, who was sitting on the sofa.
He leaned against the sofa, resting his chin on his hand with his eyes narrowed.
Only then did Jessica notice that Lucas looked tired.
Lucas didn’t sleep much last night. After returning to the company, he asked Vincent to look into the whole thing. Now, he did feel exhausted.
Lucas stood up at once when he saw Jessica walk out.
Jessica refused when he offered to drive her home. She drove to a boutique to buy a new dress, identical to her broken one. Then, Jessica went back to her apartment.
Jessica walked out of the elevator with a shopping bag. Then she saw Terry waiting there.
Given the context, Jessica wasn’t surprised to see Terry there.
Terry put on a smile when he noticed Jessica. “What’s your plan for dinner? My treat.”
“You’ve read the news, right? It’s not a good time for me to eat out. Rain check, maybe.”
