Chapter 846: I Can't Marry You

So James suddenly had an idea and knelt down on the ground, saying, "If you are worried, I'll propose right now. Jessica, marry me. Give me the opportunity to love you all your life."

Jessica's eyes were wide open. Her eyes looked especially empty since her look was pale.

Jessica said, "Don't joke." She tried to withdraw her hand, but James wouldn't let go. He seemed determined and genuine.

James said, "I'm not joking. I will not let anything bad happen to you, never!"His voice was strong and firm. This was a promise from a man to his beloved woman.

Maybe what James said gave Jessica firm belief. She stopped moving around. But she shook her head, "I can't marry you."

She was fatally poisoned. She didn't know whether she could survive this or not. How dare she say yes?

James could tell Jessica was worried about her uneasy look. He said, "If you're cured, will you marry me?"

Jessica bit her lips. She got more worried and troubled.

James said, "If you still think about the death of your grandpa..."

"NO." Jessica stopped James. She could not move on over what had happened to her grandpa. But she didn't hate him.

James asked, "Then why not?"

Jessica's hands were tightly grabbed. She could feel the sweat in his hand.

Jessica buried half her face underneath the quilt and left only two watery eyes. She felt colder and colder. Maybe it was because she was poisoned.

Jessica looked into James's ridiculously genuine look and thought she was lucky to get a proposal before she was gonna die.

Maybe the universe didn't want Jessica to leave the world with regret. If so, why should she say no?

Jessica was moved and said with her mouth under the quilt, "There is no ring."

James's eyes were sparkled. He immediately got up and walked outside. Not long after, he returned with a velvet jewelry box.

He put the ring on her ring finger, leaving her no time to say no. It was the right size.

Jessica's fingers were thinner than most girls. So she had to wear custom made rings. She knew that herself. So she asked out of surprise, "When did you make the ring?"

James said, "When my memory came back." From that time, James would not waste any more time. He desperately wanted her to be his.

Jessica lifted up her hand, and the ring was two entangled lines. There was a delicate and perfect-cut diamond where two lines met, witnessing the blending of two souls.

James said, "Jessica, you're mine. You can not run away from me."He picked her hand and kissed it. Then the phone rang, and he got up to answer it.

As time passed, Jessica felt colder and colder. It was like she was in the middle of an icy lake where the coldness infiltrated in her bone marrows and blood. She couldn't help getting trembled.

Her face turned pale, and her lips turned purple. And there were black circles underneath her eyes.

Jessica could feel the beckoning of death.

Jessica felt so sleepy, and her brain was completely out of control.

She just kept sinking...

It was like she descended into a bottomless whirl.

James saw what Jessica looked like after he came back, answering the phone and grabbed her shoulder. He said, "Jessica, don't sleep! Can you hear me? Do not fall asleep. You can not go to sleep without my permission."

Jessica slowly opened her eyes because of James's roaring.

Jessica said, "I have one favor to ask." Her voice was faint.

"Tell me!" James's voice was as deep as it always was. But his eye sockets turned red with tears inside. He was trying very hard not to let them fall.

Jessica said with all the strength she could gather, "I don't know whether I could make it alive tonight."But her voice was so small.

James said, "I told you that do not die without my order."He used all the strength to say it. It was so determined and firm that he couldn't help tighten the hands that grabbed Jessica's hand.

Jessica said, "I beg you to visit my brother, father, and grandfather's tombs after I'm gone."

James roared like a beast out of control, "I told you that you could not die!"It echoed in the room and stayed for a long time.

Jessica tried so hard to look up at James, saying, "Please. I beg you. Please say yes."At the time, one drop of the tear fell on Jessica's cheek.

Jessica couldn't help getting moved.

James?

Was he crying?

Was he falling tears for her?

At the second, Jessica could feel her brain turned blank. Pop! Out of nowhere, the door was pushed open.

A bodyguard came in and froze, seeing what he saw.

Was James, his boss, crying?

No way. James was so cruel. He thought James would never cry. It was horrifying.

At the second that James tossed a murderous look at the bodyguard, he hurried to introduce the old lady behind him, "Sir, we have found her."

James looked up and down at the old lady who dressed plainly. He asked with skepticism, "Can she do this?"

The bodyguard said, "She said her husband used to be bitten by the green gobbling when he was hunting. She used a local method to cure him."

Then the old lady smiled, revealing a gold tooth.

James suddenly frowned. He could not let Jessica take any unknown risks.

So he roared, "Get off!"

The bodyguard didn't say more, seeing James was furious. He looked at the old lady, and she got his message. They were about to leave when Jessica said, "Let her give a try."

The doctor wasn't here. Jessica had nothing to do lying around. Besides, the old lady looked honest. Jessica thought she wouldn't have ulterior motives.

James looked at Jessica's pale and weak face. He frowned and suddenly tightened her hands. The next second, he got up and left.

As James left, the room sank into serious silence.

Jessica's heavy breath turned obvious in the room.

The old lady came over to check Jessica's wound.

In the living room.

James sat on the couch. The smoke from the cigarette he was smoking left her in a cloud. One couldn't tell his face. The emotions he gave off were so complicated.

James kept seeing flashbacks of how he met Jessica and spent time with her. The last frame stopped when he saw her in the bedroom and left her with the old lady.

At the time, the security came in with a woman. They pushed her, and she fell down next to his feet.

James looked at the woman coldly. Her hair was a bit messy. The lipstick she wore got smudged a bit. But apart from those, she looked delicate.

James turned around his neck. Crack! He slightly lifted up his feet and stepped on the woman's shoulder as hard as he could.
