Save Myself from Desperation by Cara Agnes

Chapter 42

Jeremy had only walked a few steps when he saw Jessica approaching him.

“Jeremy, what happened to you?”

Jessica asked, hurrying forward when she saw him limping.

These past few days, she felt that Jeremy wasn’t as open and affectionate with her as before, guessing he was still upset about the recent incident where he had been used as a scapegoat for bribing a judge.

To regain Jeremy’s trust, Jessica had specially brought him to this resort, inviting a bunch of friends along.

“Jeremy, where did you hurt yourself?” Jessica moved to support him.

“It’s nothing.” Jeremy replied, feeling a warmth in his heart upon seeing Jessica’s concern for him,

He mused, ‘Why can’t Ashley be as concerned about me as Jessica is?”

Recalling what had just happened, Jeremy still felt irritated. “I just ran into Ashley.”

“Ashley?” Jessica was surprised after hearing him. “Ashley is here too?”

Jeremy nodded in affirmation. “Yeah.”

Jessica’s eyes twinkled, and she smiled innocently, “That’s great! Let’s invite Ashley to join us! I haven’t seen her in so long. I really miss her!”

Hearing this, Jeremy was moved.

He thought, Jessica is really considerate and sensible. This is how the family should be. How distasteful the things Ashley said earlier about the Ramos family being like foul–smelling stones in a cesspool are!”

Jeremy had been feeling guilty toward Ashley these past days and had amiably agreed to her return to the Ramos Villa but was met with resistance each time.

He thought, ‘It seems Jessica is the most understanding and the most suitable to be my sister. As for what Ashley said about Jessica not being the one who saved me, was it just nonsense?”

Jessica excitedly asked, “Jeremy, where is Ashley? I’ll go find her!”

He replied, somewhat sarcastically, “No need. She has signed with Royal Entertainment and has climbed the social ladder, She is living the high life now! She doesn’t care about us anymore!”

“Jeremy, don’t say that…”
