Dear Sweetheart Chapter 541


    Chapter 541


    Growing even more terrified, Jessica exined in a panic, “H-He didn’t touch me. All he did was steady


    me when I nearly fell that time. The only person I’ve slept with is you. I’m not dirty.”


    It made Wyatt’s heart ache to see her like that. “I know. I’m not saying that in a disdainful way. What I


    mean is you’ve been sweating and need to take a bath.”


    After hearing that, she finally loosened her grip.


    Nheless, her body was still tense as she leaned back inside the bathtub.


    He was very patient as he helped her wash up, asionally sliding his fingers over the gentle swell of


    her belly. The knowledge that inside her belly was his child warmed the cockles of his heart.


    When she sat up and turned her back toward him, he saw several scars running across her back.


    It was as though someone had whipped her until she bled and her wounds left untreated for some time,


    thus leaving behind those marks.


    The scars were shocking to behold, and rage rose within Wyatt at the sight of them. Lightly brushing


    his fingers over them, he asked Jessica, “Why are there injuries on your back? Who hit you?”

    She shook her head and answered softly, “It’s nothing. I identally fell.”


    “Would a fall cause welts? Do you think I’m blind?” he responded with a dryugh.


    Jessica was silent.


    Seeing that she lowered her head and was reluctant to tell him the truth, he did not press further,


    fearing he would lose his temper and startle her.


    After the bath, he wrapped a bathrobe around her and carried her out.


    The moment her body touched the bed, she fumbled to sit up and untie the bathrobe.


    Wyatt’s eyebrows twitched in annoyance.


    Ever since she got back, everything she does keeps pushing my buttons. I hate seeing her so timid and


    lacking self-assurance!


    Tamping down his anger, he helped her change into her nightgown. Then, he tucked her under the


    covers. “Go to sleep.”


    She blinked, a little confused. “Aren’t you sleeping?”


    “No.”


    Her hand groped around in the air before finally clutching his hand. In a cautious tone, she said, “Then,


    can you let them go?”


    Without saying anything, he tucked her hand back under the covers.


    After exiting the bedroom, Wyatt dialed Jeremy’s number immediately. “Jessie can’t see. I need a


    doctor toe over and check on her, and I want it done tomorrow.”


    Jeremy was annoyed at being rudely awakened from his sleep for no good reason. “D*mn it… It’s three


    in the morning over here, for goodness’ sake! You’re calling just because she’s blind? If she’s blind,


    don’t you know how to take her to the hospital and look for a doctor there?”


    Wyatt paced up and down next to the window, riddled with worry. “She’s pregnant, so looking for a


    doctor at the hospital is a no-go.”


    “Well, my friends can’t do it either. Who would want to get involved in this?”


    “I’m begging you. I need a doctor who cane to Norwal City tomorrow. I’m willing to agree to


    anything the person wants,” Wyatt replied, clutching his hair in desperation.


    Jeremy was quiet for a long time before letting out a sigh. “I’ll give you an addresster. Send someone


    to pick the person up.


    “Thank you.”


    “Wyatt, if you really have feelings for her, don’t waste any more time. If you lose her, you can continue


    living your life without her. If she’s handicapped, you’ll suffer for the rest of your life,” Jeremy said


    before ending the call.


    However, Wyatt hung up immediately without uttering a single word.


    A few minutester, he received an address from Jeremy.


    He forwarded the address to the pilot who had flown him to Yartran and asked thetter to pick up the


    doctor.


    By the time he returned to the bedroom, Jessica was already curled up in bed, fast asleep. Outside the


    window, the sky was starting to light up with the first rays of sunlight.


    Holding her in his arms, he slept for a while before waking up less than three hourster.


    Wyatt gazed at the woman lying beside him. She was still sound asleep with her brows furrowed, and


    he caressed her face tenderly with the tips of his fingers. Then, he climbed out of bed gingerly, washed


    up, and changed before leaving the bedroom.


    He hurried downstairs, and when he saw the housekeeper in the living room, he instructed thetter


    coldly, “Take good care of her.”


    The housekeeper nodded fearfully.


    After driving to Lopez Group, Wyatt sent Jacob a text, asking thetter to drop by upon his return to the


    country.


    Wyatt’s assistant, who had been waiting for him for quite some time, approached him the moment he


    exited the elevator.


    The assistant looked grim as he said, “Mr. Lopez, the coboration we had already negotiated with two


    companies fell through. Both of them have signed an agreement with the samerge corporation.


    Someone acted as a middleman between them.”


    “Who dares to interfere in our business deals?” Wyatt demanded with a frown, feeling a little


    disgruntled.


    ncing at him, the assistant answered hesitantly, “I did some investigation and found that the


    middleman was Ms. Gand from Glory Corporation.”


    There was only one Ms. Gand at Glory.


    As soon as the assistant mentioned that name, Wyatt could guess Rayna’s intentions.


    The reason Rayna would secretly sabotage mypany can only be that she thinks I hurt Jessica and


    wants to seek revenge.


    “Should I go and meet with Ms. Gand?” the assistant enquired.


    “It’s only twopanies. Who cares if they don’t want to work with us anymore?” Wyatt snapped


    impatiently.


    I’m more worried about whether it’ll be possible to restore Jessica’s eyesight, so I’ve no time to argue


    with Rayna.


    The assistant murmured an acknowledgment.


    Then, he followed Wyatt to his office and reported on the progress of some work matters. He ced


    some documents on Wyatt’s desk and was about to leave when thetter stopped him.


    “Remember, I flew out of the country on a private ne alone and returned alone as well. Make sure


    you handle this matter properly. Don’t let that woman find out,” Wyatt instructed grimly.


    If Rayna discovers that I found and brought Jessica back, she’ll surelye here to take her from me.


    “I understand.”


    “Are there any clues rted to the death of Oliver Marsh and his wife?”


    The assistant broke out in a cold sweat. He stammered, “W-We’re checking the surveince cameras


    with the police. I’ll inform you the minute wee across any clues.”


    Wyatt shot him an icy re. “You’re doing the same job as Faymon Group’s Mr. Tylinski, yet look at


    howpetent he is.”


    Stung by that remark, the assistant went out quietly.


    His temperament has shifted drastically after his birthday, and he’s bing increasingly


    disagreeable. Gosh, working for others is hard.


    Wyatt busied himself with work the entire morning, then called the housekeeper at noon to check on


    the situation back home. He learned that Jessica had gone downstairs to have breakfast after nine that


    morning, but she had thrown up after eating.


    Massaging his temples, he replied with a sigh, “Find out what’s safe for pregnant women to eat, then


    prepare them for her.”


    “Yes, of course.”


    Preupied about how the pregnant Jessica was experiencing such a severe reaction to food and was


    hardly eating, he lost his appetite too. Hence, he merely ate a few mouthfuls of his lunch.


    Just as he rested his arms and head on his desk, nning to take a break, he heard amotion.


    Jacob came storming into Wyatt’s office and looked around before fixing his gaze on thetter.


    “Where is she, Wyatt? Where did you take her?”


    Wyatt frowned. “I texted you this morning. Why are you only here now?”


    “You carried that person off so quickly that I had to buy a flight ticket and fly back on my own!” Jacob


    ranted. Feeling parched, he went to pick up the pitcher of water on the coffee table and poured himself


    a tall ss of water.


    After downing the water, he asked Wyatt, “Shouldn’t you tell me first where that person is?”


    “Oh, quit saying ‘that person.’ She’s my woman, so she’s at my house, of course!” Then, Wyatt added


    darkly, “Get over here. I’ve something to ask you.”


    Rushing forward, Jacob jabbed a finger at Wyatt’s face and snapped in exasperation, “How the h*ll


    would I have known you were looking for her? Besides, you really went too farst night. She just


    learned her rtives had passed away, yet you berated her like that.”


    Wyatt’s head snapped up, and he stared at Jacob. “She just learned that her rtives passed away?


    What are you talking about?”


    Jacob sighed. “Remember I remained in Yartran for a few days after you left? I took her out to get


    some fresh air and rx because I noticed she was too depressed. Honestly, I didn’ty a finger on


    her.”
