Contract Marriage: My Sweet Bossy Wife

Chapter 150 Wilfred Comes Again!

Jessica raised her head and noticed that it was Wilfred.

Why did he show up here at midnight?

“What are you holding? What are you going to do with it?” Wilfred started to grow alert when looking at

the test tube she was holding.

“Nothing special. This is for Summer.” Jessica hurried to put it back onto the rack. She seemed a bit

nervous.

“Are you trying to fool me? It literally looks like poison!”

Actually, Jessica rarely told a lie. That was why she always appeared nervous whenever she was lying.

Wilfred couldn’t help frowning when noticing her lying.

“But…” not until quite a while later did she collect herself. Of course, she was aware that Wilfred, a 25-

year-old academician with a doctorate degree, could easily tell that she was producing a vial of poison.

But meanwhile, she was a bit confused—how did he find out so soon?

Actually, Wilfred always walked softly. That was why Jessica didn’t notice his footsteps just now.

“Wilfred don’t tryna stop me. I have to do it. As your sister-in-law, please keep it a secret for me. Most

importantly, please keep it from Lorenzo.”

Wilfred only replied with silence while staring at her.

Meanwhile, Jessica felt a bit weird. As she lowered her head, she then noticed that Wilfred still clutched

at her wrist. She wanna break free. However, she failed because he was grabbing too hard.

After some consideration, Jessica was aware that Lorenzo’s anger probably resulted from the fact that

she was getting too close to Wilfred and Valentina.

However, at a second thought, Jessica doubted that the reason couldn’t be that simple. Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

Even if Lorenzo wasn’t friendly to Valentina, he had never turned hostile to his aunt.

It seemed that Lorenzo still kept something in mind from her, Jessica supposed.

However, she found it awkward to take the initiative to ask.

When she recalled what Alina told her last night, she noticed that it did make sense—Lorenzo was in

badly need for a sense of security. Every unusual detail he noticed would heavily impact on his

emotion.

Though she was still doubting about it, she decided to keep a distance from both Wilfred and Valentina.

However, Wilfred still clutched at her wrist, which confused her a lot.

“So what can I do for you?” asked Jessica while looking at him.

“Nothing.” Wilfred let go of her wrist.

He didn’t utter until a while of silence later, “I heard that Leila saved an old lady today. And she was

utilizing Escape?”

“Yeah, exactly the same as what Summer told me.” Jessica answered.

“A few years ago back in Fretston, I met a girl who was using the same skill to save a person.” Wilfred

continued softly.

Silent, Jessica started to recollect—she remembered she indeed saved someone when she was in

Fretston.

At that time, there was another young boy who had joined her. But that boy was using scalpel while she

was using needles.

There was one thing in common—both of them were Medical Sage.

Jessica took a look at him and then at his hand, the fingers of which were slim and impressive with

clear outline.

Suddenly, she raised her head to look at him as she recollected herself—it was Wilfred who worked

together with her to save that person at that time!

“Jesus, was that you?” Jessica was stunned.

“Exactly.” Wilfred nodded.

To her greatest surprise, it had never occurred to her that it was actually Wilfred. She left after saving

that person at that time. Then she returned to Ameriart. However, as time went by, she totally forgot

about it.

So incredible!

It turned out that they had worked together a few years ago, the cooperation between whom had even

become known nationwide.

“No wonder we could be in-laws. What a coincidence!” Jessica smiled.

Wilfred only nodded to reply.

“Never have I expected that I made myself your sister-in-law.” She added.

Actually, she was feeling quite awkward. After all, Lorenzo wasn’t friendly to Wilfred.

What was more, Lorenzo would be likely to turn jealousy whenever she talked to Wilfred even tough

they were clear of any affair.

He always got mad for nothing, which confused her a lot.

Wilfred simply stayed silent. He turned around to leave.

She couldn’t help sighing. It seemed that Wilfred shared the same weird personality with his brother.

But still, she needed to keep a distance from Wilfred and Valentina in case Lorenzo was getting

annoyed again.

Jessica didn’t drop alert until most of the staffs in the Institute had left.

She locked the door and took out the test tube again. She then gets a few drops from it and put them

into her mouth.

By now, Lorenzo’s mental disorder was getting too worse to wait for any long-term treatment. If the

disorder still remained, it would bring a heavily blow to their marriage.

What grandma told her last night somehow inspired her.

She then closed her eyes to feel the poison.

Soon, she was struck by dizziness followed by a bang of headache. The veins all over her body started

to feel pain.

She was sweating all over.

The next second, she took out the needles to acupuncture herself to hold back the effect of poison.

However, someone kicked the door open.

“Who is it?” Jessica stayed alert.

“It’s me.” Replied Wilfred.

“Why are you coming back?” Jessica turned around to look at him surprisedly. But her sight started to

get hazy.

Her sight got blurred while she could hear nothing but buzzing. Struck by dizziness, she felt like her

heart was being squashed. Then she passed out.

She flopped onto the ground, cramping all over.

“Are you crazy?” Wilfred rushed over to hold her into his arms.

“The ink lotus isn’t something to be meddled with. It could be killing! Tell me, how did you extract the

essence from it?”

Actually, before he was about to leave the Institute, a bad feeling crawled up in his mind. So he hurried

to return.

Fortunately, he made the right choice. If he had gone like that, Jessica would be in great danger.

“I know how much you wanna do for my brother. But don’t ever risk your life! Are you out of your mind?”

“I am…I am fine…I have acupunctured myself to detox…” she didn’t feel better until quite a while later.

Wilfred was carefully watching her reaction. Then he took out the scalpel to slightly cut her hand, from

which some black blood rushed out of her skin. Then he performed further treatment to detox her.

Jessica started to close her eyes powerlessly.

“Jessica, wake up! It ain’t time for sleep!” seeing that, Wilfred couldn’t help trembling out of panic. His

face went pale.
