Chapter 59 One Life for One Life Part 1
The moment Mark left the room, Jessie opened her eyes and stared at the ceiling blankly.
In fact, she had woken up when Derek and Mark were talking in the room. She heard every word Derek said clearly.
Knowing that she would die soon, Jessie didn't feel sad at all.
She was worried about Daniel's safety and her mother's future. If she could see her brother live safe and her mother live well in her remaining life, she would have no regret even if she left.
She picked up the phone and called the Lin family.
"I'm Jessie. Is my mother there?"
"Miss... Miss Jessie Mrs. Irene..."
Hearing the servants sobbing, Jessie felt anxious. A bad feeling came to her.
She nervously said, "Don't cry. What happened to my mother?"
"Mrs. Irene, Mrs. Irene, she passed away. Waah... Waah..."
"What!" Bang! It was like a bolt of lightning hitting Jessie's head.
Jessie was stunned and froze. She lost her mind.
My mother was dead!
How could this be!
She had only been away for a few days, but her mother...
Jessie held the quilt and cried for a long time. When she calmed down, she wiped the tears on her face hard and lifted the quilt to get out of bed.

Mark went downstairs. All of them were waiting for him in the side hall. None of them said a word, and the atmosphere was heavy.
"Mark, is Jessie awake?" Rachel asked. Mark shook his head. He also wanted her to wake up as soon as possible.
After a moment of silence, he said to everyone: "Carl, ask Derek to send a female doctor who he trusts to look after Jessie. Rachel, go back and assign some people to keep watch on the Lin family and Nelson. Don't let them make troubles again. John, Caleb and Jeffery, go to the Middle East with me. I will go to see Richard myself. We will try to save Daniel within three days."
Everyone nodded. Rachel suddenly asked, "Are you going to leave Jessie here alone? What about the antidote?"
"Don't worry. I will find a solution. If it won't work, I will get the antidote even if I should blow up MR. Well, let's move."
"Wait!"
Just as everyone was ready to leave, they suddenly saw that Jessie was standing at the door of the side hall.
"Jessie, you are awake! Why did you go downstairs? Do you feel uncomfortable?" Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.
Rachel asked with concerns. Jessie shook her head, told Rachel not to worry about her.
She walked towards Mark and asked, "Are you going out? I want to go with you."
Everyone...
Seeing how haggard Jessie looked, Mark felt bad in his heart. The thought of her being poisoned made him feel guilty.
If it were not because of his carelessness, she would not have been kidnapped by Leslie and went to MR.
He gently touched the hair around her ear and said gently, "You haven't recovered yet. I'm afraid that you can't bear it. How about staying here and having a good rest for two days? I will come back soon."
"No way!" Jessie yelled. After realized her anxious, she tried to calm down. She said, "I heard everything you said. I know I was poisoned and I don't have much time left. I don't know how long I can live. I just want to finish my unfinished things in my life, and I don't want to die with regrets."
Her mother had died, and if she couldn't even protect her younger brother, what's the meaning of her life!
As Leslie ordered, there were only two days left for her. If Mark left, how could she find him?
What should Daniel do if he left?
She would never let her brother die there!
One life for one life...
If she had to betray someone, she could only choose to betray Mark.
Tears of guilt and uneasiness kept rolling in her eyes. It was the first time that she felt so weak that she cried in front of so many people.
"Sorry, I, I... I'm sorry." Jessie kept crying and apologizing for what she had thought. Mark held her into his arms, tightly holding her trembling body.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry..." Jessie cried louder and louder.
"I'm sorry, Mark! I don't want this to happen either. I don't want this happen. I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry..."
Tears soaked Mark's clothes. They were just like a fire, burning his heart and his body. The heart wrenching 'sorry' beat heavily in his heart, and he was too painful to say a word. All he could do was to hold her tightly and tell her that he was here!
"Dear, don't cry. You'll be fine. You are my girl! You can't leave me without my permission! No one has the right to take you away."
Jessie stopped crying. She looked up at him in a daze with a pair of red and swollen eyes. After a long time, she said, "thank you."
They set out on their mission. Because Jessie went to the Middle East with Mark, Derek went with them so that he can take care of Jessie.
Time was running out. When they got on the plane, Jessie was asked to have a rest in a room. Meanwhile, Mark and others began to work on the rescue plan.
MR's location was very remote and secret. Surrounded by mountains, it was just like a primitive forest. Cars couldn't drive in. They could only walk in there. If they chose to plane, because it was too big, they would be hit before the plane could reach the target, Infrared and lightning spots had been placed on the hillside, and any carelessness would lead to explosion and even death. Besides, there are poisonous plants everywhere in the mountain, so even if you can successfully avoid infrared and lightning, you still cannot avoid being hurt by plants.
Once poisoned, the people would definitely die.
"Shit! Who the hell is that good at finding such a place? Is there anyone who had been in their?" John thundered.
"Yeah. How did Jessie and Leslie get inside? No matter how many traps there are, there must be someone going in there. There must be a way that we don't know. Otherwise, their lives are not enough to get in that primitive forest."
Hearing what Jeffery said, they couldn't help nodding in agreement.
No matter how sophisticated the design was, there would be bug. Moreover, the mountains were formed naturally, and human-made design would also contribute to the bug. No matter how difficult it was, they would find a breakthrough.
The thing was where was it?
"By the way, Mark, do you think your brother will be so bored that he sends people to tail after Jessie every day? If she were with you and was followed by someone, how could you not know?"
"What do you want to say?" With a look of disgust on his face, Caleb said, "Get to the point, okay?"
Jeffery gave him supercilious look, "Who was with Jessie before she was kidnapped? If there wasn't someone who delivered the message, how could Leslie know where Jessie is?"
Mark's eyes turned dark. Bill?!
He picked up the phone, dialed the number and said, "I need all the information about Bill Xu within one hour, including anyone related to the Xu family."
