Love at First Novel by Gu Lingfei

Chapter 1686
Mrs. Brown was mad that Jessica cursed her grandchildren terribly just now.
Upon seeing Jessica moan that her stomach ached, Mrs. Brown promptly went forward to hold Jessica and said nervously,
“Quickly take a seat. Or you can return to your room and lie down.”
“Mom, she’s lying. This is not her first time faking a tummy ache.”
Chelsea did not believe that Jessica was having an ache in her abdomen.
“Chelsea.”
Mrs. Brown called her daughter’s name out before she assisted Jessica to the room and laid her on the bed. She noticed that
Jessica’s face became swollen as a result of Chelsea’s slap. Worried that Hank would come into conflict with Chelsea when he
saw this upon his return, Mrs. Brown said, “Jessica, I’m going to get ice and put it on your face.”
Jessica touched her face without saying a word.
Mrs. Brown went out to get her ice.
Lying on the bed, Jessica was thinking about the life she was living. She felt so aggrieved that
tears rolled down her face.
Nevertheless, this was the path she had chosen.
She had only herself to blame for being involved in Hank and Liberty’s marriage.
Now, she could not return to her hometown. She was suffering in her in–laws‘ house every day. Having a nasty sister–in–law and
biased parents–in–law drove her to the verge of a breakdown.
If it had not been for the baby in her stomach, Jessica would not be able to endure the situation.
Because of her baby, she was released from jail for the time being. She was protective of her baby
as she was worried that Chelsea would hurt it.

All of a sudden, Jessica sat up on the bed.
She wanted to go to the bathroom.
At that moment, Mrs. Brown walked in with ice.
“Jessica, where are you going?” Mrs. Brown asked.
“I’m going to the bathroom.”
Jessica took her phone into the bathroom.
Mrs. Brown sat on the bed and waited for her.
In the bathroom, Jessica was sending messages to Hank to complain. However, Hank had just received a request to send a
passenger to the airport. After informing Jessica about it, he hardly replied thereafter.
As Jessica did not receive Hank’s reply, she scolded, “What a useless thing. Why did I fall in love
with such a man back then?”
Then, she scrolled through some videos.
Scrolling through videos was so addictive that she ended up squatting in the bathroom for half an hour.
After squatting for a long time, her legs became numb. When she walked out, she accidentally tripped over the threshold of the
bathroom.
The second Mrs. Brown witnessed it, she instinctively leaped to her feet to hold Jessica. Unfortunately, she did not manage to do
it in time.
Jessica instantly fell on the floor.
“Jessica.”
Shocked, Mrs. Brown promptly held her up.
After that, she quickly asked Jessica, “Does your belly hurt?”

Jessica shook her head. For now, it did not hurt.
