The Heartbreak Prescription by Glazed Snow

Chapter 721

Jessica's expression darkened. She hadn't expected Brittany and Wendy to show up at such a critical moment. These two were definitely not part of the plan.

She rose quickly, forcing a smile. "Mom? What are you doing here?

Brittany's gaze swept over her. "I came to check on you."

Jessica's lips curved, though her eyes remained cold. "I'm okay. You didn't have to check on me." Her tone sharpened slightly." And why did you bring her?"

Wendy blinked innocently. "Hi, Jessica."

Jessica looped her arm through Brittany's, her grip just a little too tight. "You know that Wendy and I don't get along. She's always treated me horribly. I can't stand her!"

Brittany sighed. "She already explained everything to me. She's a nice girl. Maybe there were misunderstandings before, but I expect you two to get along from now on. Can you do that?"

Jessica stiffened as disgust coiled in her chest.

Brittany's patience wore thin. "I know you're my daughter, but I care about Wendy, too. Is it so hard to be civil?"
