Predestined Marriage
Chapter 1347 Leave Quietly

Jessica and Carl grew up together. For so many years, Jessica had never seen him peel an apple for any woman, other than her and his elders. Sivan lay on the bed, looking at Carl.

After Carl finished peeling the apple, he turned around and said something to Sivan. Sivan smiled and looked bashful.

A girl in her early twenties would be adorable if she didn't have an evil heart.

Jessica was kind of obsessed. She didn't come to herself until Molly called her.

"Let's go." Jessica turned around and left.

"What?" Molly didn't understand.

Jessica came all the way to the hospital to see Sivan, but now she left even without getting into the ward.

Molly looked inside through the window, but unexpectedly, she met Carl's gaze.

Carl was a bit stunned to see Molly. He said something to Sivan, and then walked towards the door.

Molly, who was caught on the spot, moved aside with a guilty look and waited for Carl to come out.

Carl hurriedly strode toward the door. Molly called him in a low voice, "Carl."

Carl ignored Molly and looked around. Soon, he saw Jessica walking towards the other end of the corridor.

"Jessica!" Carl marched toward her.

Molly was a little upset. Jessica intended to leave quietly, but Carl found her due to her carelessness.

When Jessica heard the footsteps, she stood still for a while before turning around.

Carl trotted toward her as if he was afraid that she would leave. He looked anxious. But when Carl saw Jessica stop, a trace of joy flashed through his face.

Since Carl found her, Jessica asked, "How is she?" "She" definitely referred to Sivan.

The joy in Carl's face disappeared quickly. He looked downcast and said, "She's fine, but needs to stay in bed for a while."

Jessica took a closer look at Carl. She looked at him so carefully as if she had never known him.

Since he was so worried about Sivan, the baby in Sivan's belly must be his. He couldn't be happy for sure as he nearly lost his baby.

Jessica understood.

Jessica and Carl had known each other since they were young. In the past, they played around and knew each other best, but now, they looked at each other but didn't say a word. After a while, Jessica suddenly asked him, "Do you like children?"

Carl opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but he didn't speak. Soon, he resumed his calmness and said slowly, "Not really."

"What does 'Not really' mean?"

Jessica, however, pressed him further. She was more determined than ever this time. She only wanted an answer.

Carl paused for a moment and answered as she wished, "I do."

Jessica nodded slowly. She bit her tongue as she found herself on the point of saying 'congratulations'.

She really couldn't say that word.

When she spoke again, Jessica became calm. "Pregnant woman is very vulnerable. Take good care of her."

It suddenly occurred to Carl that a year ago when Jessica participated in an outdoor activity, there was a couple quarrelling on the street. That woman was pregnant, but she lost her baby as she fell to the ground. She bled a lot. At that time, Jessica's face turned pale when she saw that.

Carl always wanted to ask Jessica why she was like that then, but he never had the opportunity to speak, so he kept it to himself.

Carl chose his words carefully, "You know a lot about pregnant women?"

"Better than you do." After saying that, Jessica left.☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
