Chapter 480 – An Unbreakable Vow with the Heartless Tycoon

He said, “It’s time to take your meds.”

Jessica stared at his eyes out of confusion. She found his voice familiar at first. Then his eyes stroke a familiarity too. Others might not recognize him. But she did stare at the single mole underneath his eyes. She was too surprised to say anything. She looked at the door, and James didn’t return yet.

She whispered, “Andrew, why are you here?”

“To take you away. I’ll come and pick you up tomorrow at the same time. You find a way to make him leave.”

Jessica nodded. She believed Andrew must know James would go to therapy with Erin at this hour.

Erin was the therapist invited by the hospital. It was easy for James to go to hers. But in his absence, he sent security guarded outside her room. If Andrew didn’t dress like a doctor, he wouldn’t get in.

Andrew hung the medicine bottle on the hanger. He was a self-taught doctor because of his heart condition. He knew basic skills. In order to play his part, he needed to do the infusion himself.

The needle was in her fair skins. Jessica has been giving infusion several days, and her hand back was full of little holes. Andrew stroked them gently. He remembered how Jessica got herself killed to save James the last time and said, “You’ll come with me, right?”

Psst-

Andrew pinched the needle in Jessica’s blood veins. He was quite skilled.

But Jessica slightly hesitated because of what Andrew said. She wanted to go with Andrew, but she was scared. She was frightened because James wouldn’t let her go easily.

Bodyguards outside the room greeted, “Mr. Moore.”

Jessica’s hand shook. The needle went astray, and blood came out. The red blood on her fair hand was like a red plum in the snow-covered ground.

Andrew held her hands tightly to remind her to remain calm. And he didn’t look up since James walked in. He took the cotton tips to wipe the blood on Jessica’s hand and inserted the needle again. Then he adjusted the speed of the transfusion and gave Jessica a meaningful look. Then he pushed the wagon to leave the ward.

He had the mask and kept his head low the whole time since James walked in. His bangs happened to cover his eyes. The wagon was steady until it hit something and went bumpy. The medical tools on the wagon hit the surface and had a faint and temporary sound.

Jessica got shivered. Her eyes kept darting back and forth. She was afraid to get caught and forced herself to lie down.

Andrew kept pushing the wagon. He passed by James. He was noble and majestic. He looked at Jessica first and felt a tall man passing by. He slightly frowned, “Stop.”

Andrew held his hands holding the wagon. He didn’t stop and kept pushing faster.

Andrew wanted to rush out of the room. But James was faster than he was. He kicked over the wagon, and everything fell on the floor. It stopped Andrew.

Andrew strode over and jumped. Two bodyguards came in to fight him. Andrew swayed to avoid their attack. James ran and kicked him in the back, and Andrew fell.

He wanted to get up, but the bodyguards had the gun against his head.

He has been casing for two days. He knew James would visit Erin for an hour. But he came before the session was finished.

“Andrew!”

Jessica pulled the needle out, opened her quilt to help Andrew. She didn’t wear her shoes and walked on the ground with bare feet. James turned around to stop her and threw her on the bed.

Jamie was nearby and came at the noises with Andrew’s security. But after seeing the gun on Andrew’s head, they surrendered.

“Get him out of here!”

Jame’s man took Andrew away, and Jamie left with his bodyguards.

Jessica got off the bed and held James’s leg, “Please, please let Andrew go.”

James looked at Jessica coldly though she was crying. He bent over, grabbed her hands to get her off the ground. But Jessica wouldn’t get up, holding her leg tightly, “No, I won’t get up. Please, let Andrew go, let him go. I’ll do anything you want. Just let him go!”

“Ask Erin to check her out.”

James grabbed her with full throttle, and she went back to the bed.

Erin came in soon. James asked her to take care of Jessica and left.

Jessica knew where he was headed.

In order to stop Jessica from moving about, she was handcuffed to the bed.

She looked at James’s back with tears and kept begging until Erin came.

Erin pulled her curly hair behind her back. She had a curvy figure too. Although she wore a white doctor’s coat, she was appealing.

“Leave us alone.”

Erin asked other bodyguards to leave and closed the door.

Soon, there were only two women in the ward. Jessica still kept crying.

Erin smiled, and there was a s.e.xy line on her rosy lips. She walked to Jessica and took out two tissues to her.

“Do you know why James hates your family so much?”

Jessica was frozen. She started guessing for she was worried about Andrew. But she didn’t know why, so she shook her head.

“James’s parents died in a car accident about 20 years ago.”

Jessica slowly fixed her eyes on Erin. The last time, she was almost hit by her car, and James rushed to save her. She knew something was off from then.

“Is my grandfather responsible?”

James shot her grandfather and threw his body in the sea. James has been a bodyguard in her family for a long time. He had plenty of chances to get to others. But her grandfather liked traveling around the world, and his whereabouts were always unknown. Or else he wouldn’t wait till now.

Erin nodded, “He asked his man to drive the other car. Your family and his family are competing over a project. In order to get it, your grandfather used dirty means. He destroyed a happy family and turned James into an orphan. He went to the orphanage and was adopted by the president.”

“I’m sorry for what happened.”

Jessica’s face was pale. Her eyes were red, “But my brother was not wrong.”

Even if for revenge, why keep the hatred after her grandfather was gone?

“He’s after your family, and your last name is Clifford.”

“You’re his psychiatrist, don’t you think it’s unhealthy?”

“That’s why he’s getting treated.”

James has been harboring the hatred for 20 years in his life and chose to get treated now. For her, Jessica?

Eric quietly looked up and down, Jessica. She had a fair face. Underneath the curly eyelashes were the pretty eyes that were born superior. She was the madam who was the apple of Clifford’s eye and never suffered much.

James put up with her for six years…

“Can he be cured?”

Jessica was not afraid, not the abuse. She was afraid it would never end.

“It takes time for him to get better.”

Jessica was disappointed at the answer, “How long would it take?”

“You wanna leave?” Erin was a psychological doctor. From her micro looks, she asked whether James could be cured, to her disappointment when she knew it took time, she knew Jessica was suffering…
