I owe you my life

Lexi sat in front of the ER and he did not know what was going on inside. A doctor was treating Jessica. He could only hope that all will be well.

“Boss, I will return to the project!” Mr. Kardi’s permission, he must supervise his workers.

“Yes, Sir!”Lexi replied briefly. Without looking at the sound source. Then Lexi came back to wait.

In less than thirty minutes a doctor came out of the ER. “How is Jessica?” Lexi asked with a serious face.

“We just finished stitching the torn wound in the patient’s back area,” the doctor replied.

“Are there any serious injuries?” he asked again.

“The patient has a slight injury on the right side of the back, and the laceration may be due to a sharp object that scratches his back, there are no serious injuries but to be more sure we will do X-rays and CT scans after the patient is conscious!” the doctor said obviously.

“Is Jessica unconscious?” A worried expression was still implied on his face. Yes, Jessica was hurt saving him. How can the wife he has always used so far become a hero who was willing to sacrifice her life to save him.

“Still under the dope, according to your orders, the nurses are moving her to the treatment room!”

“Thank you Doc!”

Lexi stepped towards Jessica’s treatment room, VIP room on the third floor. He didn’t immediately walk into the room. He was standing in front of the door, looking through the glass door.

“Jessica,” he whispered.

Lexi’s hand reached out to open the door. Jessica was lying on her back. Then, he stepped up and sat down near the bed.

“Jessica,” Lexi softly grabbed the fingers of his wife’s hand.

“Whose blood? Honey, are you hurt?” Jessica asked, noticing that her husband’s shirt on his chest was stained with blood.

“You’ve come to your senses?”Lexi approached and landed a kiss on her forehead.Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

“Did you hurt?”asked Jessica. “Did I push you too hard?” Jessica scooped up Lexi’s face with both hands.

“Stupid! Why did you save me! Look, now you’re hurt and almost driving me crazy!”Lexi closed her eyes. This time, he really felt like he was regretful. “Don’t think about me, your back is injured,

because of me! Next time don’t ever do that anymore,” Lexi said with her eyes closed. Every time he looked into his wife’s eyes, he felt a deep sense of guilt.

“I’m fine! When I was a child I fell from a mango tree behind the orphanage, I couldn’t walk for two weeks, now I’m fine!” Her lips were smiling.

“How can you still smile at a time like this Jessica! I just don’t dare to call mom because she would be shocked if she saw how you are now,” Lexi complained.

“I’m glad you’re okay, honey!”Jessica said.

“You don’t have to save me!” Lexi looked down, unable to look at Jessica. He couldn’t imagine if he just pretended to love her.

“Then, I just silently watched the board fall over your head? I love you!”said Jessica. “Look at me,” she asked, realizing that her husband was avoiding looking into her eyes.

Lexi nodded his head. The two stared at each other.

“Don’t feel guilty, I did it because I love you, and I love you! It’s just a little wound and I’m gonna get better soon!”Jessica said with a convincing face.

“Do you really love me Jess?” He asked. After missing his late wife, in addition to suffering from sexual aversion disorder, Lexi also couldn’t easily trust others, especially in love, and Jessica, a young girl, 18 years old. He was not sure if he would give his heart and love to her.

“Yes, I’m not sure if this is love or affection, but I always want to be with you! My dear husband, after all you are the first man who kissed me, you are also the first man who slept with me, you are also the man who is willing to be my husband! What’s wrong, I forgive and forget those bad memories! Now I’m learning to love you!” She said obviously. Jessica took Lexi’s hand and kissed her multiple times.

“Why is it so easy for you to fall in love!” Tightness filled his chest, he really did not deserve Jessica’s great love and sacrifice. It was really not comparable to him who just wants to take advantage of the girl, to take as much advantage as possible and replace it with money. He felt so evil.

“Probably because before that I had never been close to any man,” her answer was honest.

“What about Beryl?”

“Until now he was just a friend!”

“I believe.” Lexi could see the honesty in the glow of his wife’s eyes.

The door suddenly opened. Mrs. Anna walked in closer to Jessica.

“What happened?”Mrs. Anna asked as she looked at Jessica and Lexi alternately. “I almost fainted, hearing that Jessica was hit by a board,” she revealed.

“It’s okay Mom, I’m just a little hurt!” Jessica answered.

“It’s my fault Mom, Jessica already saved me!”Lexi grabbed Jessica’s hand again, he felt so guilty.

Lexi followed her mother out of Jessica’s room.

“Why Did Jessica get hurt? How about you? What if she’s pregnant with your child?” She asked.

“It was Jessica who jumped up and pushed me Mom, about the fallen board I didn’t know.”

“You should have kept Jessica from having this happen!” Mrs. Anna shook her head, she was disappointed. Then she went back to Jessica’s room.

After his work, Arsene came to see Jessica’s condition. He arrived at her room and Lexi was looking after Jessica who was still fast asleep.

“Where is Mrs. Anna?” He asked. Mrs. Anna told Arsene to come and advise Lexi.

“Mom is home, we’re just chatting outside!” he didn’t want to wake up Jessica.

Arsene came out of the room. The two men sat in a chair that was right in front of the door of the room.

“Boss, Miss Jessica is already willing to sacrifice her life, for your sake, Are you still going to pretend to love her?” Arsene was. It’s really unfair isn’t it? Jessica almost sacrificed her life just for the sake of a man who pretended to love her.

Lexi was silent. He couldn’t answer.

“Even if this is just a contractual marriage and Miss Jessica has already agreed to it, it is still not worth the amount of money you will give Sir!” Arsene added. If it wasn’t for her, who would have fought for Jessica’s rights.

“Don’t ask that now, I still doubt my own feelings! You’re right, I owe him my life,” Lexi answered. Here he was indeed very guilty.

“Don’t think too long! I’m afraid Miss Jessica will find out about your act, Sir!” Arsene told. He must have told that.

“Jessica wouldn’t know if it wasn’t you who told her!” Lexi accused and stared intently at the secretary.

“If you still continue like this I will tell Miss Jessica! This is not my desire, but my wife’s!” He said.

“Stop it, you’re just my secretary!”

“I have often defended you sir!” Arsene said.

“Shut up, don’t do anything! I’ll take care of it!”

Arsene was silent, in his heart he felt very upset.

“I’ll keep asking you this, Sir! Hope you get an answer soon!” his insistenced.
