The tall figure approached her and directly shrouded her in the shadow. He said in a low and charming
voice, "Mrs. Jean called me and said that you didn't look well and asked me to pick you up."
"Jean..." Jessie didn't expect that Mark had spies everywhere. "I'm fine. Maybe I didn't sleep well last
night."
After taking a look at her for a while, Mark took her hand and walked towards the car.
The car drove all the way home.
Jessie looked at Mark curiously, wondering why he didn't ask her anything. Didn't he want to know what
she was doing here?
Jessie thought Mark was going to drive her home, but unexpectedly, the car went into a villa district and
stopped at the gate of a villa.
Jessie looked at Mark blankly, walked around the front of the car and opened the door. "Get off the car."
said Mark
Jessie got out of the car and followed Mark into the villa.
As soon as Jessie stepped into the garden, she felt her heart was blocked. It seemed that something
was constantly rushing in her mind. Although it didn't hurt, it was very uncomfortable.
"Who's this, Mark? What are we doing here? "
"This is the house of the Lin family, where you grew up." Jessie looked at Mark in astonishment, Mark
said, "You went to see Ivy today because you wanted to know what happened in the past. Since you
want to know, I'll take you here directly. Every corner here has your memories. I think if you see these,
you might remember something. "
"You, you know... Sorry, I... "
"You don't have to apologize. It's not your fault. Since I took you to see Ivy last time and saw your sad
face, I have been afraid that you would get hurt, so I don't want you to dwell on the past. It's my
negligence. Everyone doesn't want to live with a blank memory that knows nothing about their past. In
fact, I should communicate with you more and understand your ideas more. I hadn't done it well. Now
that you want to know, I'll take you to all the places we used to go today. No matter whether you
remember it or not, at least let you know that there were your footprints in those places. Do you think
it's a good idea? "
"…… Thank you. "
Jessie walked around the villa and checked all the living room, dining room and rooms except the room
on the third floor. Jessie didn't dare to go in.
"What's wrong?" Mark asked
Jessie shook her head. She didn't know why, but she felt scared when she saw this room, but she
seemed to have a faint motivation in her heart, pushing her to open the door.
She clenched her fists, hesitating and uneasy.
Standing next to her, Mark noticed all her uneasiness, but he didn't do anything. He knew that she must
have some feelings. She just needed a little courage.
"If you can't, don't force yourself. Take your time."
"No, I can."
Jessie held the doorknob and slowly twisted it. When the door was opened, she slowly pushed it open.
Looking at the clean and tidy room, Jessie's face turned pale in an instant. Suddenly, the curtain was
blown by the wind, and Jessie suddenly screamed. She instantly squatted on the ground, with her
hands holding his head, and her body trembling.
Seeing that, Mark squatted down, held her trembling body tightly and comforted her in a soft voice,
"Don't be afraid. It's okay. It's just the wind. It's the wind."
"Wind?" Jessie raised her hand and looked at the curtain, which was naturally drooping. Everything
was as calm as usual. Jessie looked at Mark with a timid look and said, "I saw a woman behind the
curtain just now. Her hair was disheveled and her clothes were in a mess. I also saw many whip
wounds on her body. It's so terrible, really terrible."
"It's just an illusion, not true. Look, now there is no one but us. "
When Mark saw that Jessie was still in fear, he helped her up and went downstairs.
"Jessie, are you feeling better?" Mark asked in a low voice, his eyes full of worry.
"Nothing else." Jessie nodded.
As a matter of fact, Mark knew very well that Jessie always liked to show off her strength, so Mark
didn't believe her at all. What's more, her pale face was still there. She couldn't deceive him at all.
The phone rang.
After taking a look at Jessie, Mark took out his phone and answered it. "Mr. Mark, Ellie was released
from prison today."
"Where is she?"
"She is on her way back to the Lin family."
"Okay, I see."
After hanging up the phone, Mark thought for a while and finally said, "Jessie, Ellie is back."
"Ellie..." Looking at Jessie in a daze who didn't know what to do, Mark said, "How about I arrange a
place for her to live first and then send her abroad? What do you think of it?"
"Abroad?"
"Yes, she is only 20 years old now. She has stayed in the prison for three years, and she has lost a lot
of homework. If she goes to school at home, that experience will definitely bring her trouble. Only when
she goes abroad, no one will know." Seeing that Jessie didn't say anything, Mark held her hand and
said in a soft voice, "In fact, that's not the only reason why I did so. I know that you have promised Ivy
to take care of her. In order to give her a better life and future without disturbing our lives, I have to
send her abroad."
When Jessie heard that, she was very happy. Mark always showed his love for her inadvertently all the
time, and no one could stop or hate him.
During this period of time, she also felt that Mark really loved her very much. He always gave priority to
her and considered everything for her.
Leaning her head against Mark's broad and thick shoulder, she smiled happily and said, "thank you,
Mark."
At this time, a shadow suddenly appeared in the living room, a pair of eyes full of hatred staring at the
two people sitting on the sofa.
Raising his eyes, the tenderness in his eyes disappeared in an instant and he looked at her coldly.
Feeling something was wrong, Jessie also raised her head. When she saw Ellie, Jessie immediately
stood up and said, "Sister." before Jessie could say the second word, Ellie sneered at her.
"Sister? 'Jessie, don't call me that. I'm not your sister. " Her eyes were as sharp as needles. Looking at
Ellie's face, which looked like Ivy's face, Jessie's heart ached at the thought that Ellie would lose her
mother soon.
She stood up and walked to Ellie. Holding her hand, she said with concern, "I know you have suffered a
lot in the past three years, but no matter what, I will take good care of you in the future."
"Take care of me?" Ellie sneered and shook off Jessie's hand fiercely. Ellie said with disgust, "Don't
pretend to be a good person here. If it weren't for you, my mother and I wouldn't have ended up like
this. I must get justice for me and my mother today."
