His Precious Love

Chapter 384

Chapter 384

After taking a closer look, Jessica realized the woman behind Wyatt was none other than Gianna.

The sight of the couple being intimate, combined with the painful memory of how she miscarried her two babies after being pushed down by Gianna, made Jessica burn with anger. Before she could barge into the room, however, Gianna slipped under Wyatt’s arms and shamelessly sat on his lap.

Jessica stared wide-eyed at the scene, the pain in her heart almost too much to bear. NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.

“Don’t just keep working, Wyatt. Pay some attention to me!” Gianna whined as she wrapped her arms around the man’s neck. “Why bury yourself in work when you have me as your girlfriend? I can bring you so much more joy!”

Try as she might, Jessica couldn’t believe what she had just heard.

Girlfriend? Has Wyatt not tortured me enough by confining me here and humiliating me? Why has he brought his new girlfriend along? Is he just trying to add fuel to the fire?

The last straw for Jessica was when she saw Gianna lean in to kiss Wyatt. Not only was she disgusted to the core, but her anticipation of meeting the latter had also disappeared. Without further ado, she held onto the wall and stumbled off.

Alas, she was in such bad shape that she fainted at the stairs as soon as she got to the third floor.

Meanwhile, Wyatt finally snapped out of his daze when an overpowering perfume scent hit him, only to realize Gianna was sitting on his lap. Annoyed, he furrowed his brows and shoved her out of the way.

Despite being caught off guard by the sudden rejection, Gianna managed to steady herself before pouncing on Wyatt with a hug. “Stop thinking about that woman on the third floor, Wyatt. Hasn’t she

given you enough trouble? I’m the only one who loves you and wants to stay by your side. On top of that, I’ll also give you as many kids as you like!”

To her horror, Wyatt suddenly grabbed her by her hair and pulled her close. “Have you gone up to the third floor?”

“N-No, I haven’t,” Gianna stammered as she winced at the pain. “I merely heard from the housekeepers that Ms. Marsh is staying on the third floor. Why would I go up when you’ve strictly told me not to? If truth be told, I don’t think she deserves your pity. A heartless woman like her ought to be dumped aside and left for dead! What’s the point of keeping her here when the sight of her upsets you? Besides, she’ll never regret aborting those two babies—”

“Shut up!” Wyatt interrupted, his face contorted with rage. “I can keep her wherever I want. That’s none of your f*cking business! You’d better behave yourself and stay away from the third floor if you want to continue living this rich, carefree lifestyle! Otherwise, I won’t hesitate to kill you!”

When Gianna didn’t say anything, Wyatt added, “Did you f*cking hear me?”

Afraid that the latter might hit her, the woman hunched her shoulders and replied meekly, “Y-Yes. I heard you…”

The next second, Wyatt chased her out of the room. “From now on, you should know your f*cking place and call me Mr. Lopez! Also, stop dressing like a sl*t in front of me! Get out!”

Not wanting to incur any more wrath, Gianna quickly left the study with her tail between her legs.

So much for thinking I could seduce Wyatt by dressing a little sexier… I can’t believe he didn’t fall for it and even had the heart to chase me out!

Shaking with fury, Gianna was about to storm off and take her anger out on the housekeepers when she inadvertently saw Jessica unconscious at the top of the stairs.

Hmm… If I remember correctly, the room door was ajar earlier. Could Jessica have dropped by the study?

The next day, Wyatt left the mansion early in the morning.

When Gianna finally went downstairs at noon, one of the housekeepers hurriedly approached her. “Ms. Gianna, Mr. Lopez said he’s going abroad for a business trip and doesn’t want you to call him frequently. He also wants you to rest as much as possible and remember what he’s told you.”

Gianna scowled and snorted in response. “I know. Are you done talking? If so, get back to work!”

For the rest of the day, Gianna went on an online shopping spree with the credit card Wyatt had given her. On top of buying everything she fancied, she also hired instructors for the various courses she wanted to learn and invited her friends from Norwal City for a get-together. In short, she was doing everything she could to forget about the woman on the third floor.

After Jessica woke up, she realized the heaviness and discomfort from the day before had worsened overnight.

However, as soon as she recalled the scene in the study, she lost all desire to do anything and merely stayed in bed.

When the housekeeper brought Jessica’s lunch up and saw how flushed the latter’s cheeks were, she couldn’t help but worry. “Ms. Marsh, are you not feeling well?”

To that, Jessica nodded in silence.

Upon realizing that Jessica was also having difficulty breathing, the housekeeper felt her forehead, only to gasp in shock at how hot it was. “Oh, dear. You’re burning up, Ms. Marsh! I’ll call Mr. Lopez immediately!”

With that said, she rushed down the stairs and made a beeline for the phone.

Gianna, who had invited her friends over for lunch, became sullen when she saw the housekeeper using the phone. “Can’t you see we’re eating? Aren’t you going to serve us?”

“Ms. Marsh is running a high fever and needs medical attention. I have to inform Mr. Lopez before calling for the doctor.”

“What the hell does she need a doctor for? It’s not like she’d die from a fever!” Gianna screamed as she slammed her cutlery down. “Do you know how busy Wyatt is? Do you want him to scold you?”

The housekeeper flinched and said hesitantly, “B-But Ms. Marsh needs to see a doctor.”

“Don’t we have medicine for that? Just give her a few pills to bring the fever down! In case you’ve forgotten, I’m the lady of the house! Are you going to disobey me?”

Terrified, the housekeeper immediately placed the phone down and returned to the third floor with a medical kit.

“Gigi, didn’t Mr. Lopez buy this mansion for you?” one of Gianna’s friends asked. “Why is there another woman on the third floor? What’s her relationship with him?”

Another friend soon let out a scornful chuckle. “Well, well, well. It looks like Mr. Lopez doesn’t love you that much!”

“Are you kidding? Wyatt loves me the most! Look at my jewelry and clothes. He gives me anything that I ask for! Besides, didn’t you see how the housekeeper had to follow my orders? As for the woman on the third floor…” Gianna retorted before giving a dramatic pause. “That’s Wyatt’s fiancée. Even though she has broken up with him, she’s so shameless that she refuses to leave. Since Wyatt can’t stand the sight of her, he keeps her on the third floor and doesn’t let her downstairs. Ah, that reminds me… She loves

putting on an act to gain Wyatt’s sympathy. For all I know, this fever might be another act of hers! What else can I do? I’ve tried befriending her, but she’s always so snobbish.”

“Are you serious? She has broken up with Mr. Lopez, yet she’s still staying here? How thick-skinned is she?”

Gianna shrugged at her friend’s remark. “I’m sure you all know how well Wyatt treats women. That woman used to be his fiancée, so he probably feels awful about leaving her in the lurch. Oh, well. She can stay here if she likes!”

“Oh, I could never live with that!” another friend exclaimed. “I have an idea. Why don’t you teach her a lesson if she still insists on staying here? Feed her expired foods and milk so she’ll really fall ill. That way, she’ll think twice about acting pitiful in front of Mr. Lopez.”

A glint of mischief instantly flashed across Gianna’s eyes. “You know what? That’s a pretty good idea.”

The housekeeper cared for Jessica all afternoon, and when she came back downstairs at night, she was happy to report that the latter’s fever had subsided.

Gianna pretended to sympathize with Jessica and even instructed the housekeeper to take good care of the latter. The terrifying truth, however, was that she had handed the repackaged expired foods and milk to the housekeeper, reminding her to keep Jessica fed and hydrated.

Jessica had just recovered from her fever, but after several days of consuming expired food items, her diarrhea became so bad that her fever returned with a vengeance. Needless to say, the housekeeper was scared out of her wits.

She wanted to call and inform Wyatt, but Gianna brushed her off by saying the latter was too busy with work. In the end, Gianna assigned her to other chores while sending another housekeeper she had bribed to the third floor.

Her orders, however, were brutal. “All you need to do is to keep watch outside the room, leave the meals at the door, and then close it. Got it?”
