Chapter 205

Sean exited the car carrying Xavier.
“Xavier!” Jessica shouted as she saw Xavier. She smiled and squatted with her arms open.
The usually aloof Xavier ran toward Jessica’s embrace like a happy puppy.
Robert stood by the side and watched with a cane in his hand. After he confirmed Jessica didn’t have any unusual reaction, he felt relieved and smiled at Angeline. “Come! We’ll talk inside!”
Angeline carried Yasmine and followed behind Jessica. Once they were seated in the living room, Angeline handed the sandalwood box in her hands to Jessica. “I got a gift for you. It’s a charm bracelet from Fawnword Church. It helps in keeping you safe. I hope you like it!”
Jessica’s bright eyes sparkled in surprise. She accepted the gift with both hands. “Thank you!”
“Why don’t you put it on,” Robert said with a smile.
Jessica opened the box and took out the bracelet. She happily wore it on her wrist, where hideous scars were slightly visible.
Yasmine clapped her hands. “That’s so pretty! You look great in anything!”
Angeline touched Yasmine’s cheek.
Jessica said, “I like Yasmine and Xavier. I felt a sense of kinship the first time I met them. The same goes for you, too.”
Angeline’s heart fluttered. She couldn’t believe that Jessica felt a sense of kinship with her, and her eyes turned red in an instant.
Angeline was from the Emmerson family. Before they sat down in the living room, she was worried that Jessica might remember something unpleasant from the past when she saw her.
After all, the last time they were at the Lawson residence, Jessica always wanted to kill Angeline because she was an Emmerson.
“I guess that’s fate.” Sean smiled and looked at Angeline.
No one could tell if Jessica was sick if nobody mentioned it.
After a few chats with Angeline, Jessica took Yasmine and Xavier out to the sunroom in the garden to water the plants.
Robert noticed that Angeline had her eyes fixed on Jessica. He sipped his tea and said, “I’ll hold a birthday banquet next month. Are you coming, Angie?”
“Of course. I must be there on your birthday,” Angeline replied with a smile.
“Somebody help! Ms. Lawson has fainted!” Sandy shouted in panic from the sunroom.
Robert stood up in surprise while Angeline and Sean rushed toward the sunroom.
Robert followed behind and saw the bodyguard carry Jessica on his back, with a pale Sandy following behind him while holding the two kids. Robert raised his voice, “What happened? Tell me what happened!”
Sean helped the bodyguard and carried Jessica, who was thin as a bone. He walked inside the house and ordered, “Call Dr. Hoffman. Quickly!”
“Someone left a rope in the sunroom
when they delivered the flowers. Ms. Lawson screamed when she saw it and fainted!” Sandy said while holding the kids’ hands tightly. If Xavier hadn’t held Ms. Lawson in time, her head would’ve hit the flower pot!”
Xavier and Yasmine ran toward Angeline when they saw her. Both of them looked frightened as each of them hugged Angeline from both sides. Angeline followed behind Sean with the kids, but Robert stopped her.
“Angie, you should go home with the kids for now,” Robert said. “Since Jessica was triggered, it might be bad for her condition if she saw you and remembered something when she woke up.”
“Okay, Mr. Lawson Senior!” Angeline wasn’t offended by Robert’s request. She tightly held the kids’ hands and said ‘Please have Mr. Lawson call me when she wakes up.”
Robert nodded, knowing Angeline was worried about Jessica. He then ordered the chauffeur to send her and the kids home.
