Chap 92
A Short Night.
The clock showed 09. 05 PM.
Beryl reluctantly let Lexi lie on his bed. The man did not want to go to the hospital and chose to rest at Beryl’s house. Outside, Beryl just sat listening to the conversation from inside his room.
It’s really sad for Beryl, when he gave up the woman he wanted to be alone with a man in his room. It seemed that from this moment Beryl must begin to forget about his feelings for Jessica. Yes, he could not continue to cultivate a sense of while Jessica and Lexi were both fighting for their love.
In the room, Jessica was cleaning the wounds on the forehead and corners of Lexi’s lips. The man sometimes grimaced in excruciating pain even though Jessica had been careful.
“It’s sick, right?” Jessica stopped her hand, which was rubbing Lexi’s forehead with gauze. So before closing the wound, he must clean first so as not to leave marks.
Lexi nodded in pain.
“A little more”” Jessica coaxed again, reaching for the gauze and intending to clean the corners of Lexi’s lips from the dried fresh blood.
Lexi could only obey. His eyes were always fixed on his wife. I can’t wait to be like this with Jessica.
Jessica carefully cleaned and covered the wound on Lexi’s lip. “Yes,” she said, and then slowly shook her husband’s hand.
Now they’re both just staring at each other. They knew the distance and the time that would soon separate them. It’s not easy! Fredy Kim was not an easy man to beat. He would do anything to keep Lexi and Jessica from being together.
“How dare you, Jess? Will you be punished for coming with me?” Lexi approached and kissed his wife on the cheek. Jessica was holding back the tears. It looked like his eyes were always full of tears.
“After today, maybe we will difficult to meet!” Jessica was starting to understand what’s going on.
” I will always try so that we can meet, ” Lexi softly led Jessica to lie down next to him.
“I will always wait,” Jessica said, staring at the ceiling of the room. Every time Lexi saw her, he imagined their separation.
Lexi took Jessica’s hand, kissed the back of her hand, forcing Jessica to look in his direction. “What are you worried about?” Lexi asked. “Calm down I’m sure we’ll be together, if good ways are not able to melt the hearts of your grandfather and your two brothers, I’ll take you away, you want it right?” Lexi, who did not want to see sadness on the wife’s face, said.
Jessica smiled back at her husband. “On behalf of Daniel, I apologize for making you hurt like this,” Jessica whispered. She could no longer hold back the tears in her wet cheeks.
“Don’t cry, I’m okay. I better accept this wound and get to meet you. We can’t lie down like this.” Lexi traced Jessica’s face then stopped right at her lips. If his lips hadn’t been hurt, he would have kissed her passionately.
“Does your stomach hurt?” she remembered his brother kicking Lexi hard in the stomach, it flashed through Jessica’s mind.
” No, ” Lexi replied, lying he didn’t want Jessica to feel worried.
“Thank god it didn’t hurt.” Jessica got up from her seat intending to make food for her husband’s dinner.
“Where are you going?” Lexi asked, not willingly if his wife moved away from him.
“I just want to cook for a while, I know you and Beryl haven’t eaten yet!”
“No, you just stay here! Before one of your family members picks you up Jess, here!” Lexi invited a place next to her.
Jessica obeyed.
They came back to hug each other, staring at the ceiling of Beryl’s room. It looked bleak, as bleak as their relationship.
” Jess, ” Lexi grabbed his waist wife to get closer.
“Yes, my dear,” Jessica said.
“At your birthday party, I’m sure we can still meet,” he consoled himself.
“Yes, I’m sure we can still meet,” she replied. Jessica glanced at the watch on her right wrist. It’s been an hour away from the Kim family residence. She was sure a guard would be there to pick her up.
“Yes, I will take you back home to meet mom and dad, and to meet the roses you planted. Taking you to meet Uncle Tedjo, I’m sure you’ll like it Jess.”
Jessica nodded.Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.
“We’ll definitely be together again, ” Lexi said. Then he kissed Jessica’s cheek. He looked down to her eyes, down to her nose, and stopped at her lips very long.
Outside, Beryl was sitting by himself staring out the glass. If he became Lexi, maybe he would give up and prefer to let Jessica go.
There was a knock on the door.
“Open the door,” a male shouted from outside his apartment door.
Beryl moved towards the door and opened it. He saw the man who had always been around Jessica. The man was a bodyguard assigned by Mr. Kim.
“Where Is Miss Elsa?” the man asked, barging in.
“Wait here let me call her,” Beryl prevented. Then he went into the room and called Jessica.
Beryl grabbed the door and opened it.
“Jess, you have to go now!”he said.
Jessica nodded.
“Honey, I’m leaving now, if you’re still sick tomorrow you should see a doctor, huh?” his wife asked.
“Yes, take care.” Lexi got out of bed and held Jessica’s hand as if he didn’t want her to go.
“Yes.”
The two stared at each other for a long time, not wanting to be apart tonight. However, she would do anything if the bodyguards would just go back to beating Lexi like Daniel did earlier.
Jessica hugged, then kissed her husband on the lips before finally leaving the room without seeing him.
“Beryl, take care of Lexi,” she asked Beryl, who most likely from tomorrow the grandfather would not allow him to see Beryl again after this incident.
Beryl nodded his head. It was so sad to see Jessica continue to shed tears.
“Miss, hurry up! Mr. David is already in the car waiting for you!” the guard reminded her.
“Yes.” Jessica looked again at the door where Lexi was standing and saw her. So, she waved and immediately walked out of Beryl’s apartment.
Jessica got off the elevator with two bodyguards. They went to the first floor.
The elevator door opened.
The three of them got out and asked Jessica again to immediately get into the car where David had been waiting.
Jessica sat in the back seat next to David who was currently looking at him with eyes that could not be interpreted.
