"I know a little about it. Why did you fall down from the third floor?" John had concealed what happened very well. Jessica only knew that he had fallen off a building, but did not know what had happened exactly.
Sam probably knew, but he did not tell Jessica no matter how many times she asked.
Jessica had no choice but to come to the hospital and ask her brother herself.
She thought that it was definitely not because of his carelessness.
Someone must have plotted it.
Her brother was a man of noble status and possibly the most powerful man in Lexingport City. Who would not want to plot against him?
"Tell me the truth, John. What happened?" Jessica sat on the edge of her brother's bed and spoke in a serious tone.
John frowned slightly.
Obviously, he was not happy with her questioning.
Jason guessed that it must have had something to do with Nina. His wife had a prejudice against Nina, and she had fallen out with her father and her eldest brother and sister-in-law because of it.
It also angered John.
Jason could not let his wife repeat the same mistake and provoke her brother, lest they would be alienated.
"Honey, John is still recovering. You should care more about his current condition." Jason had a refined, scholarl
e same thing for Nina," Angela declared. Looking at Jason, she almost felt a little sorry for him. He was a good man who came from money and blessed with a pleasing personality, but he had always lived in Jessica's shadow and always had to clean up after her and calm her personal storms.
Jessica's lips trembled. She had never felt so wronged like this in front of her family her entire life.
"My husband should be nice to me. It's his duty to get hurt for me if the need arises. As for the Fu family, they won't dare blame me. I'm a daughter of the Shi family. They can't afford to offend me."
What Jessica said made Jason have mixed feelings. He loosened his hand on her shoulder and looked at her with a sad expression.
There seemed to be something in his heart that was slowly unfolding.
Maybe that was the truth.
Jason could not help wondering if he had just chosen to ignore it this entire time.
'No, I don't think she means that.'
Jason shook off all the ridiculous thoughts in his mind, put his arm around his wife's shoulder again, and said softly, "Since John needs to get some rest, we'll go now. We'll come visit him another day."
"Why? Do you think I'm wrong?" Jessica shook off Jason's arm and raised her head to question him.
