Chapter 178
She told him to leave, so Alfred did not protest and turned around and left.
Jessica looked at Bennett's picture and did not sleep for the entire night.
She did not know if she should return and be a part of Trevor and Bennett's lives again.
What she was most afraid of was them getting hurt if she returned to their side.
She did not want Trevor to get into another car accident. Almost losing his life for her once was more than enough.
The next morning, Jessica sat at the dining table absent-mindedly.
"What's wrong? Are you feeling upset after seeing Bennett's picture last night?" Yolanda guessed as she looked at Jessica.
"Are you a mind reader?"
Jessica frowned and thought, "A best friend shouldn't exist. I never know when she'll see through all my
secrets with just one glance." "Yolanda, what should I do? I want to see Bennett, but I know I shouldn't go back. However, after seeing Bennett injured, I-"
"You should go back," Yolanda replied casually.
Jessica frowned and instantly raised her head to look at the other.
"You think I should go back?"
She thought that Yolanda would not agree to it.Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.
"Yes. Why shouldn't you?"
Yolanda shrugged and thought, Why is she so surprised about this?
"Why? Based on your personality, you would have told me to stay. Why are you telling me to go back? Even Alfred told me to stay yesterday."
"It's for Bennett's sake. I like these kids after watching them grow up for the past few years. Why shouldn't you go back? Bennett is still so young, and you are his mother. Are you going to let them grow up in a singleparent family? They aren't orphans. They should receive maternal love from you."
Although Yolanda had never given birth to a child, she was still a mother. She naturally understood this.
"Besides, Alfred has selfish motives for telling you to stay. Jessica, I've been observing Alfred recently, and realized that he is not as simple as we thought. Do you understand what I'm saying?" Yolanda said quietly with a frown.
After all this time, she could see that there was something weird about Alfred.
"Yes, I understand." Jessica nodded.
At Whiteburn Corporation, Alfred frowned when he heard Yolanda's words through the bugging device.
He thought that she was on his side, so he kept her.
However, it turned out that she was a ticking time bomb beside Jessica.
He could not let this slide. All threats must be removed.
He dialed a number and said indifferently to the person on the other end of the phone, "Tonight. A car
accident."
Meanwhile, Trevor sat beside the hospital bed as he looked at Bennett, who was sound asleep. All he could think about was what had happened at the hospital entrance.
He was so close, so close to stopping her.
"Jessica, where are you? Do you really not want me anymore?" he thought forlornly.
"Mr. Gulliford, Old Mr. Gulliford wants you to bring Bennett back home. He has hired a competent doctor to care for Bennett," Martin said softly, his eyes full of
seriousness.
He had already told Maximilian about Trevor meeting Jessica, and Maximilian said that Trevor could not stay in the hospital any longer.
"The doctor said that Bennett has to stay for further observation. We can't leave now." Trevor frowned.
Although it was not said explicitly, he understood Maximilian's meaning.
Maximilian wanted to chain him to the Gulliford residence until he developed a relationship with Leah and got married so that Leah could become Bennett's stepmother.
