Chapter 153 Aftermath
What did he say?
Divorce?
He literally suggested for divorce without hesitation?
“Lorenzo, you’d better think twice before you say so! I have been concerned about your health 24/7!
How could you…” tear welled up in her eyes. She started sobbing while glaring at him.
“How could you be so unreasonable?”
“I can bend the rule to my own will if I want! There are so many pretty ladies in the world. Why should I
choose you over them? You are being really cocky about yourself, huh? As long as I wish, they will be
willing to line up to please me!” Lorenzo pinned her on the couch with his hand clutching at her fair
wrist.
Jessica struggled to hold back her tears. She wanted to play tough when facing him. However, her
eyes went sore and her eyelashes couldn’t help trembling weakly.
“How dare you cheat on me! Even if I divorce you, it could never be his turn! When you are having
affairs with him, have you ever thought about that I would revenge on both of you at all costs? You both
will definitely suffer something worse than death!”
His eyes turned bloodshot. The next second, he ripped off her skirt.
“No! Lorenzo, stop!” Jessica kept struggling. However, she was fixed tight on the couch.
“Jessica, listen up, I am burning with anger! Stop resisting! Tell me, have you ever slept with Wilfred?
That’s why you keep on struggling because you’re afraid that I will notice that, right?” Lorenzo kept on
gasping, He appeared deadly horrible at this moment.
When hearing that, Jessica felt like her heart skipped a beat.
He was relapsing into the mental disorder again?
Jessica decided to avoid irritating him. What was more, his mental situation was worsening. Obviously,
he was facing the edge of breakdown.
Though driven by grievance, Jessica had to swallow it with tear streaming down her cheek.
Agitated, Lorenzo failed to control himself. He started groping all over her.
Soon, he buried his head against her neck, gasping. His heartbeat was running wild.
However, he somehow felt fortunate as he noticed that Jessica still belonged to him at this moment.
“Jessica, you are my wife. I don’t know if you mean to keep a secret from me. What has gone is gone!
If you dare to cheat on me, I will divorce you as long as I wish! I can get whatever ladies I want! You’d
better think about it!” while mumbling, he started kissing on her neck.
Trembling slightly, Jessica remained silent still.
Soon, Lorenzo noticed that there was something wrong with her. As he raised his head, he saw her
pale face covered with silent tears.
He somehow felt heartrending.
Though she was shedding tears sadly, she managed to avoid making a sound.
He felt like being shocked by a bolt from the blue when seeing her pitiful look.
Soon, he recollected himself. He couldn’t believe that he was actually turning into a monster just now.
Jesus Christ, Jessica was gonna be burning with hatred, he supposed.
Even he himself hated what he had done a moment ago.
After he chilled himself, he saw strips of cloth scattering all over the ground.
Meanwhile, her body was black and blue.
So appalling!
The next second, he was overwhelmed with guilt.
He felt like uttering to apologize. However, he found himself choked.
Lorenzo suddenly stood up with his hand pressing onto the glass next to him.
Bang!
The glass was all smashed into pieces. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
He turned around to leave without looking back.
Then the door was slammed shut.
However, he didn’t leave the building. Instead, he sat on the huge couch outside the office.
He took out a cigarette to light it up. Soon, his charming face was covered with smoke.
His expression turned hazy as the smoke went up.
However, he heard something was broken inside the restroom.
“Ahhh.” Then there came the exclamation of Jessica.
“Jessica.” After a short pause, he threw the cigarette butt into the ash tray and rushed in.
Jessica slumped onto the carpet, with her face covered with tear stains. Her eyes went swollen and
bloodshot.
When Lorenzo left the room, she struggled up to get to the closet, looking for some clothes to change.
However, she accidentally stumbled herself and her back bumped onto the table at the same time.
“You’re still here?” hearing someone coming in, she raised her head, surprised to notice that it was
Lorenzo.
“I…I can’t let you stay alone. I am afraid I will lose you forever if I walk away this time.” Stuffed with
guilt, Lorenzo was waiting for her punishment.
But Jessica did nothing.
He couldn’t help wondering if she was being too upset to punish him.
“Humph!” Jessica turned around madly, having no intention to reply. However, as soon as she turned
her back on him, dizziness struck her again.
She suddenly fainted.
“Jessica!” he rushed over to catch her into his arms.
His voice turned to be trembling, “Jessica, are you alright?”
She didn’t wake up until quite a while later. As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw his face
overwhelmed with guilt and worry. Meanwhile, she could feel that he was trembling.
“Lorenzo, I have made it clear. I almost hit the ground when I fainted in the pharmacy because of
sickness. But thanks to Wilfred, he happened to see me and managed to catch me. That’s the whole
thing. He was actually saving me when you saw him hugging me into his arms. He was doing
bloodletting for me so as to detox me. That’s what was happening.” While speaking, she showed him
the cut on her hand.
“Actually, I have blood phobia though I am a doctor. If it weren’t me who fainted just now, as a doctor, I
am sure Wilfred would still show no hesitation to do the favor. So, Lorenzo, will you trust me?”
After carefully watching her face, he noticed that she looked paler than a few hours ago back into the
Institute. Even her lips had gone pale.
Damn it! He was actually abusing her just now while she was in the midst of sickness.
What a jerk! He couldn’t help cursing himself!
“Jessica…sorry…I am so sorry…I trust you!” he kissed on her forehead to apologize.
“Jessica, I am such a jerk! I just ran out of control! I don’t deserve your forgiveness. I hate myself for
being so!”
“I still feel the nausea. Can I lie down?” hearing that, Jessica couldn’t bear to accuse him again. She
reached out her arms to wrap around his body.
Lorenzo hurried to hold her up into his arms and carefully placed her onto the bed. Then he tucked her
in.
“You need some bandage.” Before Jessica could utter, he took out the medic kit to disinfect the cut.
Then he carefully bandaged it.
He maintained a soft move as much as possible. Meanwhile, he gently spoke to solace her.
After that, he helped to apply some medical cream on her bruises. While doing this, he felt like the
sense of guilt was growing even more. He put away the medic kit and saw those pills Jessica had
prepared. Without any hesitation, he swallowed them all.
After that, Lorenzo remained silent with his head down.
Seeing that, Jessica felt a bang of heartache.
