Chapter 194: Worry...
Jessica returned to her bedroom after she gave a few instructions to Damon concerning the situation but since then her heart raced uncontrollably.
This seems to have become the case after receiving the troubling news that Elder Allen had been admitted to the hospital, she found it impossible to continue with her design work.
Her hands trembled, and her mind wandered. The inspiration she once had now seemed completely out of reach. Designing required peace and focus, but all she could feel was anxiety and restlessness.
Her heart pounded with worry, not knowing exactly what was happening at the hospital. Was the old man okay? Was his condition serious? Was he even conscious?
She paced the bedroom, wearing out the soft rug beneath her feet as her thoughts raced. She was torn between calling Alfred, the loyal butler, or trying to reach Elder Allen himself.
But she knew she couldn’t afford to make such direct contact. Not now. Not when everything was so fragile and not with so many challenges threatening their existence. With both of them still presumed missing and their fact still unknown to most of the Allen family. It was too risky to be seen getting involved, especially with tensions rising around Desmond.
Letting out a long, deep breath, Jessica decided the best course of action was to wait for her husband, Davis, to return. Maybe he would have answers. Maybe he would know what to do.
She was worried sick about Elder Allen, but even more, she was concerned about Davis. His safety came first. In her heart, she couldn’t bear the thought of something happening to him.
Still pacing, her brows furrowed in deep thought. She couldn’t understand how Desmond, knowing his father had been rushed to the hospital unconscious, could stay behind at home without even bothering to check in. What kind of man could do such a thing?
