Chapter 109
How come everything changed in just less than a day.
She had been so happy to get to school this morning and tarnish Arusha’s image not knowing hers will be tarnished along.
And he hadn’t even told the world Ethan Harlow is not her brother even after she embarrassed him deeply.
Olivia was right and Jessica is so grateful she snapped her out of her oblivion.
She made her realise she has no friends after all.
None at all.
How can she cope without Jane and Paris?
Not when Ethan told her she’ll be staying permanently in California.
This is a dream right?
“Can someone wake me up already!” She screamed in tears.
Jessica staggered into the dining room for dinner.
She was weak, she had cried so much that she couldn’t even cry anymore.
She was too weak to cry.
She felt helpless.
Her hair looked disheveled and some of it stuck to her face, her eyes were red and swollen and her whole face was pale, like she would pass out anytime soon .
She looked like she was hit by a truck.
She felt miserable… she had never knew what betrayal felt like.Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.
“Oh.. my.. God!” They all rushed to her as they saw her.
She fell into Ethan’s arms immediately, her legs were shaking already.
“Call Doc Luc!” ” Ethan almost yelled at Javad.
“I.. i wa.. nt water” She said and Mrs Gabrielle was in tears as she quickly poured her water.
“What in the world went wrong!” Mrs Harlow panicked as they made Jessica drink the water. “Everyone left me” Jessica said, after drinking water, she felt a bit better.
Her eyes ached terribly as another round of tears threatened to stream down her face. “We’re here for you Jessica” Irish said, trying to fight back her own tears.
Arin was crying uncontrollably already, Jessica has never looked so horrible.
She looked pale and thin all of a sudden.
“Everyone left me” She repeated as Ethan carried her to her room.
He really hoped whatever is wrong with her right now won’t affect her mental health.
“Everyone left me”

“Uhm” Doc Luc sighed.
He packed his things back into the box.
Everyone started at him expectantly. Jessica fell asleep minutes after she was injected.
“I sedated her..” Doc Luc said.
“I’m afraid she might be needing a psychiatrist once she wakes up” He added and they all stared at him in disbelief.
“And she might not… but seeing how she behaved not too long ago, it seems her brain is in shock, i don’t know how much shock it is.. that’s the reason I’m not so clear about her visiting a psychiatrist or not once she wakes up.
If i hadn’t sedated her, she would have gone on and on and that will be terrible. She’s in a weak state of mind right now”
Mrs Gabrielle stroked Jessica’s hair, she hadn’t even paid full attention to the doctor.
She was so worried about her daughter.
Everyone was.
“She’ll be awake by tomorrow morning and I’ll make sure I’m here before she wakes, so i would know if she’ll need to be transferred to a psychiatrist immediately”
“You can sleep here, a room will be prepared for you” Ethan said.
“I would have loved to but I’m on night shift, the hospital needs me. I’ll be here first thing in the morning” Doc Luc carried his box.
“I’ll book appointment with the psychiatrist tonight…” He said.
“Is it that serious?” Mrs Harlow panicked.
“We never could tell… if it doesn’t turn out bad like I’m thinking then I’ll cancel the appointmentbut if it does, and she doesn’t see a psychiatrist immediately, it might go beyond what a psychiatrist can handle. We should hope she’s in the right frame of mind by tomorrow.” Doc Luc said.
“What could have gone wrong in school?” Irish thought.
“I’ll take my leave now Mr Ethan”
“Alright Luc, thanks so much” Ethan said.
“Arin, you need to go to bed or you’ll be late to school tomorrow” Ethan said, minutes after Doc Luc left.
“No, I’ll be sleeping with jessy” Arin said and Ethan sighed, knowing there’s no point in arguing with her.
“Alright, go with Irish to get you ready for sleep” Ethan said and Irish got to her feet.
She took Arin’s hand and they both left the room.
Irish wore Arin her pyjamas after she showered and brushed.
She took her back to Jessy’s room after they were done and Arin laid down gently beside Jessica.
“What really happened?” Ethan asked.
“No one knows. She returned from school looking sad and i told Mrs Gabrielle about it. Jessica refused to open the door, she said she’s fine until this night…” Irish said.
“Why didn’t anyone told me that?” Ethan asked.
“You know Jessica! I thought it was one of her silly mood swings, i never thought it to be this serious” Mrs Gabrielle blew her nose into a handkerchief.
She had cried so hard.
“Something might have happened in school or on the way home” Mrs Harlow said.
“Ethan, I’ll call Arusha to ask him, you should ask her bodyguards if anything happened on the way” Irish said.
“Isn’t it too late to call Arusha? He might be asleep” Ethan said.
“No” Irish glanced at the wall clock. “He’ll be watching movie now”
“Okay, I’ll go ask her bodyguards” Ethan walked out of the room.
Irish also walked out after him.
She placed a call across Arusha when she got into the living room.
“Sister” Arusha said, immediately he received the call.
He wondered what made her call by this hour and he wanted to tell her he already has a
friend! A male friend!
He’s so happy.
“Arusha, what happened to Jessica in school today?” Irish asked and Arusha could sense the panic in her voice.
He sat up on the couch and lowered the volume of the movie he was watching.
‘What’s wrong?” He asked.
“Answer me asshole!” Irish said and he sighed.
“Okay… Jessica told everyone in school that she wasn’t Mr Ethan’s sister like they thought, heonly accommodated her and her Mum and you won’t believe her friends, everyone cut ties with her immediately, she was mocked and avoided like a plague” Arusha said sadly.
“That’s terrible!” Irish exclaimed, getting the whole picture now.
She now understands why Jessica kept muttering ‘everyone left me’
