Come To Me (Amelia and Patrick) novel Chapter 1525

Jessica parted her lips as if she was laughing. However, the irony was that her tears were streaming down her cheeks.

Amelia was heartbreaking to see that. It was no wonder that Jessica fell terribly ill all in a sudden during the last year of university. Her weight began to fall off drastically. At that time, Jessica managed to fool everyone into thinking that it was because she had been staying up late to study. It turned out that was not true at all!

She could not turn back time and offer a helping hand to Jessica when she needed someone the most. All she could do at this moment was to hand over a tissue and comfort her.

Jessica took the tissue and began wiping off her tears. She then crumpled up the tissue and held it in her fist before she went on to say, "I was a fool back then. I didn't have much life experiences back then. I didn't know that a human being was capable of being such cruel.

Thinking back, I was probably a retard. I announced to my boy I loved that I was pregnant. I wanted nothing but to make him like me a little more.

At last, it was also the same boy that told me that the child was gone. It was him who injected me with anesthetic himself and carried me to the hospital.

It was him who ordered the doctor to perform the abortion on me. He was there to witness the whole process and ensure that the little life fell out of my body in a pool of blood.

He left me with no choice at all. I was exasperated. I asked him why he did that to me. He told me that one child was more than enough for him. He wouldn't want a scheming woman to be his wife.

It was only then I knew that the child in his apartment was his own son by blood!

Judging his obsession towards his ex- girlfriend, that child could only possibly be theirs!

When I was delighted of my pregnancy, his exgirlfriend had already given birth to his son!"

Amelia could no longer hold back her rage after she heard that. Gritting her teeth, she began cursing spitefully, "What a cold- blooded b*stard! He should go to hell!"

Jessica sneered, "At first I refused to accept the fact. I even came to think that it must be a prank. Isn't everything that he told me sounded like the typical storyline of the drama? A wealthy man will use whatever means to test one's true character tentatively. If you pass to the test, then the man will marry you and both of you can have a happy ending."

Jessica could not be any more embarrassed when she said that. It took her years to realize that her thought at that time was ridiculous. "I tried to look for any traces of prank on his face.

It was only until one of his bodyguard threw at me with a medical report that finally woke me up. The medical report labelled with painless visual superconducting abortion and my name under the patient column.

There was no way that he would forge a medical report into testing me. In that case, I had no other choice but to accept the fact that what he told earlier was indeed the truth."

If Amelia had not mistaken, the guy premeditated Jessica's abortion as soon as he learned of her pregnancy. That was why he brought her for candle-light dinner and sunrise just so that she would not suspect him of his intention to get rid of the child.

Just like what Jessica told her earlier, the guy was a perfectionist. The way he handled Jessica's unexpected pregnancy was the best example to support her description of him. Before Jessica came to realize what was going on, her child had already been taken away from her!

Dwelling in the excruciating past, Jessica muttered remorsefully, "At that very moment he literally forced the worst out of me. I yelped at him hysterically for what he had done to me.

But I was immediately held back by his bodyguards. They pinned me down on my bed ruthlessly. He merely stood there and stared at me expressionlessly. He said that it was me who crossed the line and calculate on him first. He even told that had he not shown me with mercy, he would have removed my uterus altogether during that operation."

A chill ran down Amelia's spine as she listened to Jessica's narration. His brutality and viciousness were certainly unusual for any men at his age. She could not help but think of a person at this moment.

Before she could dwell with her thought, Jessica shuffled a little and continued heartbreakingly, "I was left in despair. It's true that I clung on him even after knowing that he didn't like me for the slightest. But that was far not enough to be his reason of killing my child!

I adore children, but the irony was that my own child had to die because of me! I had this feeling that it was me who killed my child with my own hands!

No amount of words could describe my repentance. Had I known that he was such a cruel person, I would have stayed as far away as possible from him! I would never cross his path and come near him!"

Amelia's nails sank deeply into her palms as she clenched her fists. The truth was that it was definitely not her first time listening to tragedies of other people. Nonetheless, she never expected that one day it was her friend who ended up in a tragedy like that. When the real story came laying down in front of her, she realized that that was far beyond her level of acceptance.

"Jessica, he assumed that you planned your pregnancy but the truth was that it was just your reckless and unintentional act of spitting the pill out the other day. By you declaring to him that you were pregnant with his child, he came to think that you were using your own child to force him into marrying you.

You were just kidding when you joked that you wanted him to marry you after graduation. To put it this way, it was just your illusion of a future with him.

This man had never believed you. In that case, he was certainly not worthy of your love. Everything good in him was only meant for another woman and not you!"

Jessica's face crumpled in bitterness. "You're right... What you've said is right all along. But it was already too late when I finally came to understand it. He left without turning back after notifying of my abortion. Overwhelmed by anger, I ripped off the bracelet that he gifted to me and threw it at him!"

Amelia secretly wished that it was a grenade instead of a mere bracelet that landed on that guy. Otherwise, the least a grenade could do was to explode and break his head.

"That is to say, that one million dollar is meant to be his compensation for you regarding the abortion?"

"That is the only explanation that could justify all this." Jessica nodded before she continued, "In order to survive, I had no other choice but to take out a portion of that money.

Relying on the past experience I gained from working in a coffee shop, I found an ideal shop lot by the street and began renting it. The coffee shop that you see now is exactly the one I rented at the very beginning. I used the money as my start-up capital and began setting up my own coffee shop business.

However, at that time, my shop wasn't twice as big as now. After some time when my business was prospering, I decided to buy and own the shop lot myself. I spent the remaining time expanding and doubling my business size until it becomes what you see now."

Amelia fell back into her thought again after hearing that. Jessica was a proud and dignified person at first. Otherwise, she would not refuse to take a single penny from her mother and chose to work on part-time basis to support herself.

However, her pride shattered over time in front of love. At last, she ended up becoming someone who was willing to compromise her pride for survival.

She began enjoying what the guy could provide her. At the same time, she was getting ignorant as to the source of those money. What was worse, she seemingly lost her own self and ended up becoming someone like her mother.

While her story might sound dramatic, it could not be any more real. Jessica was raised by an ordinary family. She almost convinced herself that since she was born ordinarily, she might as well lead an ordinary life and die in the most ordinary way.

Everything changed when an outstandingly charming guy crossed her path. She could not help but fantasize his presence.

While Jessica might to some extent overly idealize him, Amelia did believe that he was a nearly perfect person according to Jessica's description of him. It then made sense that why she had fallen head over heels for him.

Just like how Jessica described so, the guy was akin a ray of light that shone her life. Approaching that light hesitantly, she began reaching it out warily in an attempt to hold it in her hand. However, what she forgot was that the tighter she held onto it, the faster it slipped away.

Not everyone was blessed with a fairy-tale ending. After suffering from the prolonged one-sided love, she ended up getting one million dollar for the agony and heartbreak she went through.

Amelia believed that had that happened to Jessica at the time when she was a freshwoman, she would not use a single penny of his money. After all, her pride and dignity would never allow her to be humiliated that way!

However, it was the jobless fresh graduate that was in the picture of the story. People changed. After undergoing heartbreak and life-changing events, she could no longer be as proud as she used to be. She finally accepted that there was nothing more important than survival. Gradually, she became someone selfish who would do anything in order to ensure that she survived in this unfair world.
