Chapter 188 She Made a Compromise for Him
Chapter 188 She Made a Compromise for Him
"My lady, is this bed the key point? If you want to sleep, you'd better tell me clearly what's going on. You can sleep as you like."
"Really?" Rachel's eyes lit up. She got out of bed and said seriously, "Actually, it's not a big deal. Mark asked me to protect you. Then I figured out a way to get close to Lawrence, and he took me here."
"You figured out a way? What was it?"
"……" Rachel didn't know how to explain. So, she changed the subject. "By the way, Mark told me to tell you to stay here and be careful. He will get you out when he finds the right time. What's more, they have planted people here. So, Mark can see everything you do. Don't try to flirt with others in public."
"I am not!"
"How can you say that? If you didn't flirt with others, then why did Lawrence have a crush on you?"
"……" Jessie felt wronged. She didn't want to get involved in the trouble with Lawrence. Was that her fault?
If she could get out of here, she didn't want to stay here any longer.
"By the way, do you know Joseph?" Jessie asked. When Daniel was sent to MR by Darren, it was Rachel who told her that. She thought that Rachel should be able to help her save Daniel.
"Joseph?" Sitting on the bed, Rachel propped her chin with one hand and thought hard. "It's a familiar name. I might have heard it, but I don't remember where. What's wrong?"
"He kidnapped my younger brother."
"What? He did it! If so, he should be very powerful." Although Rachel wasn't sure who this Joseph was, she had heard Mark and others talk about space base station before. If these were really the actions of Joseph, then his strength should not be underestimated.
Hearing what Rachel said, Jessie frowned and looked worried.
"Even you said he's powerful. Then it's impossible for me to save Daniel alone." Jessie sat beside the bed disappointedly. Rachel was right. She knew clearly that she could not save Daniel by herself alone, but she didn't want to give up. Now she was desperate when she heard what Rachel said.
"Don't be discouraged. Don't worry. We can find a solution together." Rachel pulled Jessie into her arms and said, "We need to take a long-term view on this. If we want to do it, we must be 100% sure of success."
Jessie looked at her suspiciously.
Could they really handle all these by themselves?
Since Rachel came here as a servant, she had to sleep in the servants' room with others in order not to arouse others' suspicion. Looking at the small and hard bed, Rachel wanted to cry.
She cried in her heart, 'Why was I so tragic? I was okay with not having a luxurious bed but not okay with such a wooden bed!
Mark, I'll bear it in mind!
Whoop, whoop, whoop...'
When Rachel was here these days, just like what she used to do, Jessie didn't go out of her room very often, except for taking care of the flowers and plants in the garden.
"Well, are you really not going to leave? You planted so many flowers and plants here!" Seeing that Jessie took good care of these flowers every day, Rachel was curious. Was she really going to stay here?
"That's all I can do here every day. What can I do if I don't plant flowers?"
"Why don't you think of a way to escape? I remember that you got Mark's manor into a mess just trying to leave. Look at you now! You are not the Jessie I knew!"
Hearing that, Jessie was silent. It was not because she didn't want to leave. It was just that this was not Mark's manor, and there was no Mark who cared about her.
It was not easy for her to leave.
"Rachel, I've been here for so long. A lot of things have happened. Grandpa is right. Sometimes, it's not up to me to do what I want to do." Put down the watering can in her hand, Jessie felt bitterly painful as soon as she remembered how she tortured herself when she first came here.
She had thought a lot after the talk with Ken that night.
She also felt that people's lives would not be so perfect, and there would be regrets. If she had to choose, she would rather give up Mark because she wanted him to be safe and sound.
Many people might not be able to understand what she thought and even Mark might hate her. But she had no other choice.
She had to do it, even if the sharp pain would accompany her for a lifetime.
She had to do that.
"Grandpa?" Rachel walked forward quickly and held Jessie's hand, "Do you really want to accept him? He and Mark are deadly enemies. If you admit him as your grandfather, then you and Mark... "
"I know, I know all of this. But what do you want me to choose?"
She was shut here by Ken. Although she could walk around as a normal person, she was always followed and monitored. She had asked to leave, but they hadn't agreed at all.
If she had another choice, she would rather go back to Mark.
"You can choose as you like! Jessie, you and Mark have experienced so many things. If not because he loves you so much, do you think I will give up him for you?" The reason why she quit was not because she didn't love Mark, but because she cared so much about him that she wanted him to be happy.
If Jessie finally chose to hurt Mark, she would never forgive her all her life, just like what she had done to him last time when she shot him.
And she would hate her more and treat Jessie as her enemy! Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
Hearing that, Jessie lowered her head. Her fair face was filled with sadness, and her heart ached from time to time.
"Rachel, there are many things that really can't be what I want. People have to make a lot of choices in their whole lives. No matter how reluctant they are, they can only compromise in the end."
The sadness on Jessie's face and her words made Rachel confused.
What on earth had she experienced these days?
In her eyes, there were so many things hiding in Jessie's heart. She was just like being imprisoned in a cage and forced to accept the arrangement of destiny. She felt wronged and had no choice.
But, was there anything that couldn't be discussed between them? They were friends.
In this place, if Jessie couldn't tell her about it, who else she could talk with?
"Miss Jessie, Mr. Joseph is here. He is waiting for you in the living room." When the servant came to report to her, Jessie cast a sidelong glance at Rachel. She didn't expect that Nita would really convey her words after she had a fierce quarrel with Nita that day. She thought Nita wouldn't do that.
"Rachel."
"You go in first. I will hide aside. I'm afraid he'll recognize me." After all, Rachel was a killer. Although she was not famous, there were many people who knew her. She had better be careful before she confirmed whether Joseph knew her.
Jessie nodded and turned to walk inside.
