Chapter 86
After all, Jessica had saved Nathan’s life. He couldn’t just ignore her from taking her own life.
When he arrived at Jessica’s hotel room, he found the door was not
closed, and there was no trace of Jessica by the window.
Just as Nathan wanted to leave with a cold face, he heard a noise from the bathroom.
Nathan quickly kicked the bathroom door open. His face darkened at the scene before him.
Jessica was lying in the bathtub with her eyes half–closed. Her face was drained of color. There was a cut on her wrist, and bright red blood was gushing out from the wound.
“Nathan… It hurts.”
A faint smile crept across Jessica’s face when he saw Nathan, but she quickly suppressed it and looked at him with a pale face.
Nathan’s face darkened even more. “Stop talking. I’m taking you to the hospital.”
After saying that, Nathan moved forward to pick Jessica up.
“No, Nathan.” Jessica pushed away Nathan’s hand weakly. “Everyone said. that I was dirty. You’d better not touch me. Anyway, I’m glad you came…”
Jessica’s wound was not deep, but it might still cause hypoxia due to excessive blood loss if she kept soaking in cold water and did not stop the bleeding in time.
Nathan knitted his brows. “Stop saying such silly things. Get up first to stop the bleeding.”
“No! I don’t want to!” Jessica grabbed Nathan’s hand with her eyes wide open. Her pale face somehow made her look a little innocent and pitiful.
She cried, “Nathan, it doesn’t matter if others misunderstand me. But if you also misunderstand me like the others, I don’t want to live anymore. I can explain everything. That video is not true. I didn’t volunteer!”
Nathan shifted his gaze away from the woman’s eyes. His face was sullen as he pursed his thin lips. “Let’s talk about these later. We have to address. your wound now.”
But Jessica was highly emotional. She held Nathan’s sleeve tightly and

said anxiously, “I slept with that man because I had no control over myself. I was drugged and could do nothing. Nathan, you’ve got to believe me!”
Jessica’s relentlessness made Nathan gradually feel annoyed.
With a grim expression, he said in displeasure, “Do you mean Norman drugged you too?”
It was no wonder Nathan would look down on Jessica. Due to his position, he knew very well what kind of person Norman was. Norman would never do such a dirty thing as drugging and forcing women. Jessica hated Emilia even more upon hearing Norman’s name. Fortunately, she had already found a way to deal with it.
“That’s… That’s because… Waah!” Jessica burst into tears after saying a few words. “That’s because those international dance jury members got the video that would threaten me. Moreover, Norman has a great influence around the world. Those people wanted me to hook up with him. I… was forced to seduce Norman.”
Nathan was full of disappointment after listening to Jessica’s explanation. She did not feel that she was rong until now. “Let’s stop the bleeding first,” Nathan replied faintly, pulling Jessica out of the bathroom. This time, Jessica did not resist anymore. She obediently let the man bandage her wrist and stole a peel at him, wondering if he believed her.
Nathan’s face was sullen and expressionless when treating Jessica’s wound. She tentatively said, “Nathan, you have to believe me. I’m telling the truth.”
Nathan gazed down at Jessica and said lightly, “There’s no point in talking about it now, Jessica. You should know that we’re not getting married. anymore.”
Jessica had mentally prepared herself for that, but when she heard Nathan telling her the truth, she was still in despair and thought it was all Emilia’s fault.
Anyway, Jessica would never give up until the very last step.
She pursed her lips tightly, and her pale face seemed to contain great grievances as she whispered, “Back then, you said you wanted to marry me and take care of me. You see. I didn’t want such a thing to happen. either. As a girl, no one could help me abroad. Nathan, I won’t plead for

us to be together anymore. It doesn’t matter whether we are married, but I have one last request. Can you promise me?”
Nathan replied, “Go ahead.”
Jessica looked into Nathan’s eyes and asked, “I want to be your secretary. Can I?”
As soon as a hint of dissatisfaction appeared on Nathan’s face, Jessica immediately continued, “Can you fulfill this last plea of mine for the sake of I’ve saved your life and waited for you for so many years?”
