His Precious Love Chapter 319


    The Lopez family kept Gerald’s ident so quiet that none of the media was aware of it. The only


    attendees at the funeral were close friends and family.


    Dressed entirely in ck, Rayna apanied Curtis and the others to the cemetery.


    She saw Wyatt and his mother upon getting out of the car. Pam looked haggard, as though Gerald’s


    death had made her age overnight.


    Gerald had had a decent reputation and had been a good husband to Pam. Rayna had even heard


    from Curtis that Pam had cried all night with Gerald’s body in her arms on the day of the ident.


    Jessica stood beside Wyatt. She was also d in ck, with a dark veil shrouding her petite face.


    Although her expression remained impassive, her lips moved as though she was saying words of


    comfort to Pam.


    Rayna withdrew her gaze and sighed softly.


    Despite Gerald’s embarrassing conduct, he had been married to Pam for decades and was Wyatt’s


    father. Rayna reckoned Pam would not tolerate Jessica’s presence if she knew the truth.


    Wyatt came over to receive Theodore and the others when he saw them.


    “Theodore, Curtis, thank you foring.” He still seemed energetic despite the nkness of his gaze


    and his hoarse voice.


    Theodore patted him on the shoulder. “My condolences.”


    Wyatt shrugged and said jeeringly, “I’m not that upset. This must be karma for everything he’s done.”


    Those incidents had soured his rtionship with his father to such an extent that he was unwilling to


    inherit the family business.


    The funeral began at nine.


    The crowd stood in silence and, after the casket was lowered, stepped forward one at a time to offer


    their


    condolences.


    As the attendees were few, the ceremony concluded within an hour.


    Rayna nced at Jessica, then let go of Curtis‘ hand and said, “You go ahead with Theodore. I’m


    gonna go over and take a look.”


    Curtis nodded.


    Pam stood before Gerald’s tombstone with tears flowing unrestrainedly down her cheeks. Jessica


    wasforting her.


    “I’m sorry for your loss, Mrs. Lopez. Just because the world doesn’t know it, doesn’t mean the


    employees of thepany wouldn’t. They need you and Wyatt.”


    Pam nodded and held Jessica’s hand tightly. “Oh, Jessica, I don’t know how I’ll manage without


    you.”


    “Not just me. Wyatt cares for you as well.”


    When she drew closer, Rayna heard Jessica’s murmurs of constion to Pam. She kept her


    distance to avoid disturbing them and only approached after Jessica had somebody lead Pam away.


    Rayna sighed. “You must be feeling awful to have to console Mrs. Lopez.”


    “You know everything?”


    “Yeah. Curtis told me,” Rayna said as the pair headed outside. “You have a good heart for not allowing


    your vengeance to spill over to the rest of the Lopez family.”


    Jessica chuckled with a bitter smile. “I want to so badly, but Pam and Wyatt don’t know anything yet.


    My enemy is Gerald alone.”


    It was Wyatt’s fault for offering to take that bullet, making me hesitate and fail to do what was needed.


    When she rushed to the hospital with Wyatt and saw Gerald’s remains, a feeling of satisfaction erupted


    within her as she had finally avenged her sister and parents.


    However, the jubnce was quickly reced by guilt when she saw Pam’s tears and Wyatt’s shock,


    which made her sick.


    She even regretted her involvement in the plot for revenge.


    I should have employed a clever girl to approach Wyatt and exact vengeance on my behalf.


    Jessica stopped in her tracks and turned to Rayna. “I’m sorry, Nana,” she muttered apologetically. “I


    approached you with a motive. I used you.”


    “It’s all right. I’m not mad at you.” Rayna smiled and gave her a hug. “You couldn’t have taken on


    something like that on your own. How could you have told someone about it? I understand.”


    N?velD(ram)a.?rg owns this content.


    “Oh, Nana.”


    “I’ve always thought of you as that friend of mine who is as radiant as the sun,” Rayna said. “I hope our


    friendship never changes, okay?”


    Her gentle tone and her understanding caused tears to well up in Jessica’s eyes. Unable to withstand it


    any longer, she burst into tears.


    “I feel awful,” Jessica sobbed on the other’s shoulder. “My sister would have been fine if any one of


    them had just said the word. Why? When I was in school, my teacher taught us to be kind by telling us


    that life is fair without exception. I’ve always remembered those words, but what did I get for it? Just


    because that girl’s father was the headmaster, the school altered my records and robbed me of my


    opportunity to study abroad. Just because my sister was beautiful and our family had no power, they


    suppressed the news of her suicide and forced my parents to their deaths. Just because I had no


    connections or means, they threatened me without fear of any consequences. They told me killing me


    would be as easy as squishing an ant and forced my uncle to receive a fee to keep his mouth shut.”


    Jessica’s cheeks were stained with tears. “Why should I be kind in the face of so much injustice? Why


    should I believe in equality for all? The weak have no rights!”


    It was only because of Jefferson’s help from the shadows that I managed to exact vengeance. I have


    nothing of my own.


    Rayna was close to tears when she heard the tale. She patted her gently on her back. “I’m sorry for not


    having met you earlier and for all the indignities you’ve faced.”


    Jessica muffled sobs on Rayna’s shoulder soaked through thetter’s dress.


    “The world is so unfair!”


    The powerful could do as they please, and the powerless were humiliated to their deaths merely for


    asking justice for their dead daughter. Those six powerful people have destroyed my once happy family


    and promising


    life.


    Rayna kept herpany in silence, letting her weep and vent.

    When Jessica was done, her eyes were swollen and her makeup was smudged,


    Rayna wiped Jessica’s face gently with a damp towel. “All of us can tell that Wyatt really likes you”


    Jessica pursed her lips. “I know,” she croaked.


    Rayna sighed lightly. Not wishing to decipher the meaning behind Jessica’s words, she asked, “Now


    that Gerald is dead, are you still going to seek revenge on the other five?”


    Jessica’s eyes were filled with hatred. “Yes! They deserve to die a thousand deaths”


    “Do you need my help?”


    Jessica shook her head. “Thank you, but I feel guilty enough toward you and do not wish to drag you


    into this.”

    “All right.” Rayna did not force the matter.


    After chatting a little longer, they departed together and ran into Wyatt at the cemetery gates. He had


    just seen some friends off and was on his way back for Jessica. He frowned when he saw her scarlet


    eyes.


    Rayna told them that her ride was waiting for her outside and left before them.


    “What happened?” Wyatt stepped forward, took her face in his hands, and examined it closely. “Your


    eyes are swollen from crying.”


    “My dead family came up while I was talking to Nana,” she lied. “I couldn’t stop the tears.”


    Wyatt kissed her cheek. “You’ve suffered so much over the past two days,” he said tenderly. “You even


    kept Mompanyst night. Now that she’s gone back with the housekeeper, I’ll send you home to


    get some sleep.
