“I don't want to refuse either. But you asked again...”
Jessica felt speechless.
"Jessica, let's be serious. I'm already in Waston. I'm going to hold a party. Then I've invited a lot of famous people. I hope you can come too. Do you have time?"
Valentina's voice was full of anticipation.
Jessica only then remembered that Leila had been showing off the invitation with her just now. It turned out to be this party.
"Dean, I know you really want me to attend, but I can't give you reply right now."
If Leila knew that Jessica also went to the party, her face change must be very wonderful. But Jessica couldn't decide it. She still had to ask Mr. Lorenzo's opinion.
"No problem! Jessica, I'm waiting for your news. Don't let me down. I hold the party specially for you. If you refuse me, my efforts will be in vain."
Valentina tried her best to invite Jessica.
"Okay, I know."
Jessica said and then hung up the phone.
Now she didn't have time to think about other things. Lorenzo's condition was urgent and she had no time to do other things. She finally found ink lotus, so she must study it as soon as possible.
When people were busy, time always flied fast. In the blink of an eye, most colleagues in Capttar Medical School had already left, but Jessica was still busy researching medicine in the pharmacy.
"Hello, Mr. Lorenzo, are you done?"
Hearing the special bell ringing, Jessica quickly answered it.
"Yes, today's work has done. You are really busy. I have much work than you, but I seem to be a little more relaxed than you. You study day and night like this, but Capttar Medical School won’t give you overtime pay or scholarships. Why bother?"
Lorenzo chuckled softly. His voice was low and sexy.
"Since you get off the work, why don't you come to pick me up?"
Jessica's eyes were full of hope. As for what she was busy with every day, she had to keep it a secret from Mr. Lorenzo for the time being. This kind of thing was completely uncontrollable. She would probably die. So if Mr. Lorenzo knew it, he would definitely not agree to her taking the risk.
"Not now. I have to go to private estate first."
"Are you going to visit Grandma? We haven't been back for several days. If you go to see Grandma, why don't you take me with you?"
"Little girl, be obedient. I'm just going back to get an important document. I'll be back quickly, and then I'll take you to have a candlelight dinner to treat you, okay?"
Lorenzo held the steering wheel. There was doting on his face. He smiled.
"Since you want to treat me, I'll order what I like. I like crabs."
Jessica agreed like a good baby.
"No problem."
In private estate.
Valentina arrived very early and bought a lot of gifts to visit Ganny Mrs. Fletcher, because Ganny Mrs. Fletcher was her biological mother.
"Mom, you are really stubborn. You insist on staying in Ameriart. Wouldn't it be good for you to go back to Fretston with me? My main business is in Fretston. I am so busy that I can't always come back. You don't miss your son, either?"
Valentina sat on the sofa in the living room, poured a cup of tea for her mother, and then gave the gifts she brought to her mother. It was Italian Triangel, a limited edition around the world.
Ganny Mrs. Fletcher's most beloved child was Valentina. Among her children, Valentina looked the most like her. Valentina was most like Ganny Mrs. Fletcher when she was young.
"You guys don't care about him. I don't expect that you guys think of him. As long as you don't throw mud on him, I'm already very content. You are all his family, but who cares about him? For you guys, Lorenzo is an abandoned child who you guys don't need. You guys don’t want to save him at all."
"You are so cold-blooded. When Lorenzo was at his worst time, he was forcibly sent to the psychiatric hospital by you guys!"
Ganny Mrs. Fletcher's voice were sonorous and powerful.
"I…"
When Valentina heard it, her heart ached. She took a deep breath, and tried her best to hold back something.
"How did his biological mother treat me, you don't know? My sister-in-law actually seduced my husband. My pregnancy was at a critical moment. I fell and suffered a miscarriage because of the blow. I can’t get pregnant anymore in my life!"
"Do you think I'm happy? I use my work to numb myself every day. No men can tolerate that his wife can’t have child. How did I get through it? Don’t you think I'm innocent and pitiful?"
Valentina's eyes were red and she was getting choked up. Today's words touched her sore pot.
"Valentina..."
Ganny Mrs. Fletcher felt sorry for her daughter.
Just as Ganny Mrs. Fletcher was about to say something, she was interrupted by a light cough. The two of them looked towards the door. Then they saw Lorenzo appearing in the living room. Ganny Mrs. Fletcher and Valentina didn't know when Lorenzo came in.
The light at the door was dim. The weak light enveloped the man's tall figure, making him look extraordinarily aloof. Even his eyes seemed to be cold.
Valentina quickly turned her head and wiped away her tears with a tissue.
"Aunt, you rarely come to Ameriart. If you tell me in advance, I will pick you up at the airport in person, so that you don't have to be so tired."
Lorenzo was saying, while walking towards the sofa elegantly.
