    Chapter 61


    Lambert''s words were thick with regret. If Jessica hadn''t left, they would have be good friends.


    Jessica mumbled, "At that time, something happened to my family, so I gave up painting."


    "It''s a pity. If you kept on painting, with your artistic talent, you would have shown off in the painting


    world."


    "It is passed. Let''s not talk about it."


    "If you want to draw, I can rmend a good teacher for you."


    "Thank you, Lambert. I''m not in the mood to draw anymore, not like before."


    They talked about many funny things about drawing in the studio back then, as well as the ssmates


    in the same studio. Jessica basically didn''t remember much. Perhaps her life changed, or those


    happened a long time ago. She didn''t want to think much about the past, leaving no chance for her to


    worry.


    Jessica had been resting all morning. The medicine, the doctor prescribed, worked. The swelling went


    done much. She looked at her phone, noticing that it was almost lunchtime.


    "Lambert, I have something else to do. I''ll leave first."


    "Where are you going? I''ll drive you there."


    "That''s fine. I have taken much of your time. I have to buy some snacks for my grandmater, and then


    I''ll go straight to the hospital."


    "Okay then."


    They separated in the coffee shop. Jessica went straight to a traditional century-old shop and bought a


    box of mung bean cake for grandma.


    When Jessica arrived at the hospital, her grandma hadn''t eaten yet.


    Her grandma''s condition had been improving. She had a big appetite, ate a lot of food, and had two


    pieces of cake. She kept persuading Jessica to eat, so Jessica simply ate a few mouthfuls.


    "You eat too little. You''re pregnant. Remember to eat well and sleep well. Don''t think too much, so the


    baby can grow healthier."


    Perhaps her grandma was getting old, and what she said was basically the same every time. Jessica


    didn''t think that her grandma was nagging, because no one cared about her usually.


    Jessica had stayed with her grandma in the hospital untilte at night. Then she returned to GrandVille


    Apartments. Before that, she went into the bathroom to make up, carefully covering all the injuries on


    her face with concealer. She also let her piled hair go and her seaweed-like ck hair was draped over


    her shoulders, covering the parts on her face where were pped.


    When Jessica returned to GrandVille Apartments, Nanny Winnie was waiting at the door, with Tina


    beside her.


    Nanny Winnie saw hering. She immediately ran over and said, "Mrs. Williams, you''re home."


    "Yes, is he back?"


    "Not yet."


    Jessica breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Oliver didn''te back. Otherwise, it would be bad if he


    found the injuries on her face.


    "What did you do? You came back sote on the weekend." Looking at Jessica, who seemed weird,


    Tina said sourly.


    "It''ste. What are you doing here?"


    "I felt bored in my yard. I wanted to talk to Mr. Williams and thanked him for the orange peel he gave


    me which cured my vomiting. But Mr. Williams has been back sote recently, and I haven''t met him


    yet."


    Tina didn''t eat the orange peel at all. She said that on purpose because she wanted to make Jessica

    angry.


    Jessica was not angry. She said, "Even if Oliver came back early, he didn''t want to talk to you."


    "Jessica, don''t be arrogant in front of me. I knew that you two are not a real couple. If you know what''s


    good for you, leave Mr. Williams as soon as possible."


    "Okay, please tell him to chase me away early."


    Tina snorted and she knew that she had no saying here. She went back to the backyard angrily.


    Jessica went upstairs, took a shower, and went to bed.


    She slept until dawn. When she opened her eyes, she found that Oliver wasn''t on the bed. It seemed


    that Oliver didn''te backst night. Maybe there was something wrong. She knew that Oliver had


    been anxious recently.


    She had to solve the problem quickly.


    After getting up, Jessica called Sally, hoping that she could arrange a meeting with Henry as soon as


    possible.


    An hourter, Sally replied that she could arrange the meeting in the afternoon. Hearing this, Jessica


    immediately packed up and prepared to go out.


    Jessica went to the ce Sally had arranged, got into her car, and went to Henry''s manor where he


    secluded.


    When they arrived, the butler at the door seemed to have known that there would be guests and soon


    opened the door. The manor was veryrge, and Sally drove the car a long way inside.


    At this moment, a servant appeared in the parking lot and led them into the living room.


    Jessica followed behind. She saw an old man with sses, chewing on a cigarette holder and


    newspaper in his hand. She recognized Henry at a nce. Compared with the man she saw when she


    was a child, nothing changed except more wrinkles on his face.


    Sally stepped forward and said, "Mr. Zamani, I brought a friend here. She wants to see you."


    At this moment, Jessica immediately bent down, "Nice to meet you, Mr. Zamani."


    Henry smiled, "Little girl, sit down."


    Sally saw that her task had beenpleted and smiled, "You guys talk here. I''ll take a stroll around the


    garden."


    As soon as Sally left, Jessica came straight to the point and introduced, "Mr. Zamani, I''m Terence''s


    granddaughter. My name is Jessica. I often went to your shop to buy brushes when I was a child."


    When Henry heard Terence''s name, he could guess that she was here to ask for payback, "Time flies. I


    didn''t expect you to be such a big girl. I still remember that your grandfather took you with him all


    day. He cherished you."


    "Yes, grandpa loves me most. Mr. Zamani, today I came here not only to visit you but there is one thing


    that needs your help."


    Henry knocked his pipe, "Go ahead."


    "I''m now working as a secretary in the Williams Group. Some unpleasant things happened between me


    and Miss Zamani before and finally caused Mr. Zamani to be hospitalized. It was all because of me, so


    I came here to beg your forgiveness."


    Henry had heard the servants report what happened at the Zamani''s yesterday morning. Because


    Lambert was there, he was once worried that his precious granddaughter would cause trouble. He


    didn''t expect Jessica toe to talk about it today.


    "Little girl, I also apologize for Alice. She is too spoiled."
