Chapter 628 Chapter 628

"I've had heart problems since I was young," Jessica sobbed, her voice thick with emotion. "I've always been incomplete. I finally found you, Dad, but you don't love me. I had to use despicable means to try and earn your affection."

Tears streamed down her face, each one a silent testament to her pain..

Horace's gaze was complex as he looked at Jessica. "You don't have to do that. It's all my fault. I've neglected your feelings..."

"We've been apart for so many years. When I thought we'd finally be together again, I hoped you would treat me well, that you would love me unconditionally and spoil me...but I was wrong. My mom is long gone, and now, I just want to go find her. I want to tell her that you don't love me."

The mention of Brittany struck Horace like a knife to the heart. His expression softened; the harshness melted away from his eyes, replaced by something tender. He stepped closer to Jessica, his voice quiet and filled with regret.

“Jessica, I'm so sorry. It's all my fault. Please, give me one more chance. I'll change. I'll take you back to the Capital. Whatever you want, I'll make it happen."

Jessica's voice wavered with emotion. "Really? If you're lying to me, I'll jump off this bridge right now!"

Her body swayed dangerously, as if she might slip into the ocean below at any second.

Horace's heart skipped a beat, fear gripping him tightly. "I would never lie to you! I promise. From now on, I'll keep my distance from Wendy. I won't do anything you don't like. Now, can you come back to me?"

Jessica hesitated, her gaze still filled with doubt; but then, with a soft nod, she slowly climbed down from the bridge. Horace immediately stepped forward and wrapped his arms around her. "Please, don't do this again. You scared me." Jessica returned the hug, her voice muffled against his chest. "If you really love me, I won't do anything foolish anymore." "I promise. I'll take you back to the Capital. We'll have a big party to announce your return," Horace said, his voice warm with

assurance.

"Okay," Jessica whispered.
