Decision.
At nine in the evening Lexi arrived at the hospital. He walked to his wife’s treatment room.
“What happened to Jessica?” Lexi asked. There were Ronald and his dad who were still sitting, waiting for him in front of Jessica’s treatment room.
“This afternoon Jessica had a miscarriage,” Mr. Samuel said. “Mom just passed out, and Jessica was inside alone. I did not go inside, me and Ronald were just waiting in front,” he added.
Lexi scooped her face rough. His heart was fragile, and this incident made him even more fragile.
“I have to go see Jessica!” Lexi rushed into Jessica’s treatment room. He found his wife lying on the bedrest.
“Honey,” Lexi called as he walked closer to the bed.
“Oh my god, honey” Jessica cried, still in tears.
Lexi rubbed his wife’s head slowly. “It’s okay, the important thing is that you’re fine, don’t get hurt!” Lexi persuaded softly. He could feel the sadness in Jessica’s heart.
“Our future baby, dear, I was not careful and made our future baby wretched.” Tears continued to fall even though her eyes were closed.
“Honey, it’s okay, we have to be sincere and God will replace it one day, as soon as possible,” Lexi persuaded, because he did not want to see her wife continue to cry.
“I’m sorry, I must have disappointed mom, dad, and you too, dear.” Many times Lexi asked Jessica not to cry, but tears continued to run down her cheeks.

The next day, Jessica felt better. She asked to go home.
Jessica forbade Lexi from bringing anyone into their room, including Mr. Samuel and Mrs. Anna. She could not bear to look at the two people she loved feel sad.
The Thanksgiving party was all canceled. There was no reason for Jessica to stay at Lexi’s house.
Two days and two nights. Jessica was in the room. Everyone understood. Mrs. Anna and Mr. Samuel also never insisted on meeting with Jessica.
For breakfast, Lexi would always bring food into the room, also the dinner.
“Does Jessica want to eat?” Mrs. Anna asked when Lexi brought dinner for the wife.
“Yes, mom,” he said.
“How are things now?” Mrs. Anna would love to meet Jessica, but if Jessica didn’t want to, she couldn’t force it.
“Tell Jessica, don’t be so sad, we have to let that go.” Mrs. Anna could tell the sadness of Jessica’s hopes. She also felt that way.
“Yes, Mom.”
“If you can, don’t go to work! Jessica seems to really need your presence,” she said. Yesterday’s events, not only sadness for Jessica but also for her, all members of Ricardo’s family.
“Today I go to work, Mom, Chelsea will come. Jessica will get well soon if she can talk to Chelsea, we just pray!” Lexi hoped.
“Hopefully.”
“Oh yes, Mom, ” Lexi prevented from putting the plate down and walking after his mom.
“Yes, what is it?”
“At lunch, before Jessica miscarried, what did she eat?” Lexi investigated. “I asked Jessica, that day she did not fall on the floor at all. Since that morning, she also ate fruit in the refrigerator. The only foreign food she ate was when he had lunch outside.”
Mrs. Anna brought back her memories of two days ago when they were at Cassandra’s sister’s restaurant. “Just Avocado juice, Jessica only drank at lunch at Cassandra’s sister’s seafood restaurant, ” she said.
“What?” Lexi murmured hearing the name Cassandra, he immediately thought badly of the woman.

Chelsea came at noon. Without Jessica’s permission, she went to see her. And today was the right day.
There was good news and bad news that she had been looking for. She also had met Daniel Kim and got a lot of answers from the man.
Jessica was waiting in the room. She hadn’t yet to meet Mr. Samuel and Mrs. Anna.
The maid accompanied Chelsea into Jessica’s room on the second floor.
“Thank you!” Chelsea said, and knocked on the door.
“You’re welcome!” the maid replied.
“Who?” Jessica asked from inside the room.
“I’m Chelsea, Jess,”
“Come in, Chel!”
Seeing Chelsea’s presence, Jessica got out of bed and immediately hugged her best friend.
“You are strong Jess, you can definitely get through it!” Chelsea’s persuasion returned Jessica’s hug tightly.
Jessica did not cry. Her tears might have run out for a few days now she had hardly cried often.
Chelsea parsed hugs then looked at Jessica deeply.
“Is Mr. Lexi leaving for work?” Chelsea asked to make sure the man was not at home. About what she wanted to say was something big.
“Yes, my husband went to work today. A lot of work that he had postponed while accompanying me,” Jessica said, showed how Lexi was so good while he took care of her.© NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
“Good, I have something to say Jess, I hope you can accept it and make a decision soon,” Chelsea said. It was about Daniel Kim. Jessica would be happy to be with her family.
“Did you find it difficult to ask your dad about what I asked yesterday?” Jessica asked.
“My dad didn’t know anything about it, Jess, but I heard an explanation from Daniel Kim! I heard a detail of the incident from someone who was going to meet you with your family Jess!” Chelsea were so convincing.
“What the man said?!” Jessica asked firmly.
“The couple from the Kim family are your parents Jess!” Chelsea told.
“Where are they now?” Jessica prepared herself to hear the worst answer.
“They are dead, and according to Daniel Kim, Mr. Samuel was the mastermind of the accident that happened to your parents twelve years ago!” she explained.
“What?” There was bitterness at the end of her throat. The pain filled her heart.
It was as if she and Lexi couldn’t be together. First, Lexi who only pretended to love her. Second, their future baby who left her first. And thirdly, past events that made her both parents die.
Jessica couldn’t hold back her tears. The tears were running down in her eyes, collapsing under the pounding pain. All questions answered so far. Her parents, not forgetting and deliberately did not pick her up. However, both parents were gone forever.
“Daniel is calling me. He is your brother, Jess!” Chelsea wiped away tears. She was sad to see Jessica.
“Hello,” Jessica tried to raise her voice.
“Hello, Elsa, have you heard everything from Chelsea?” he asked. Right now, he was also sad. One thing was for sure, he must succeed in taking Jessica away from Ricardo’s family.
“Is all that true?” Jessica asked.
“Yes, that’s how it happened, if you love your parents! I wish you would leave Lexi and Ricardo’s family behind!” Daniel Kim insisted.
“But?” Jessica was speechless from her sobs.
“Alright if you want to live with your family’s enemies, I won’t insist! Tomorrow morning at Five O’clock I’ll be waiting for you in front of Ricardo’s House. It’s your last chance to be a member of the Kim family. Or you will forever live with the people who killed your parents?” Daniel Kim ended the call. He hoped after knowing the true story, Jessica would choose to go home with him.
“What should I do?” Jessica felt weak.
“Only you know the answer Jess! Only you know what you want!” Chelsea hugged Jessica. Jessica’s face flushed. Her cheeks were flooded with tears.
Jessica was silent. If that’s the case, then she had to leave right now.
Daniel Kim, why would he come if he wasn’t really looking for her. There was no benefit to the man if everything he told was a lie.
‘How is my relationship with Lexi?’ she thought.
Jessica just nodded. She had convinced her heart to leave Ricardo’s family house and went with Daniel Kim who is her older brother.
“Chelsea.”
“Yes.”
“Maybe tonight will be the last night I’m here!”Jessica said softly Jessica. No more reason to stay.
“You sure?” Chelsea asked.
“Why should I hesitate?” Jessica wiped away her tears and made sure in her heart that she would go, left of Ricardo’s house tomorrow.
