His Precious Love

Peter nodded and pulled up Jessica’s pajamas with shaky hands. Then, he scanned her belly with a small device.

Soon, a clear image of the uterine cavity appeared on the small screen of the handheld scanner.

The doctor hurriedly pulled down Jessica’s pajamas, fearing Wyatt would hit him if there were any delays. He

showed the device to Jeremy and said, “She is pregnant, but she doesn’t seem to be doing well.”

After taking a glance at the screen, Jeremy looked at Wyatt. “When was her last period?”

“I’m not sure. She ate too little, so she didn’t seem to have her period.” Wyatt massaged his temples, unable to

accept that Jessica was pregnant. The news of her pregnancy baffled him.

That was especially the case after seeing her pale-looking face and thin body. How can she possibly conceive a

child?

At that moment, he regretted how cruelly he had treated Jessica.

“I’m speechless.” Jeremy shook his head and sighed.

Peter roughly calculated the period of Jessica’s pregnancy based on the last time Wyatt and Jessica were intimate.

Slowly, his expression turned grim. “The yolk sac and fetal pole appeared too early, and—”

Wyatt started to panic. “Is she okay?”

“She’s fine, just malnourished,” Jeremy replied. Then, he added, “However, we could barely see the fetal pole,

which is a problem. It means that there’s something wrong with the baby.”

Wyatt couldn’t understand Jeremy, but his heart ached as soon as he heard something was wrong with the baby.

He had trapped Jessica here, wanting to take revenge on her, but didn’t expect she would actually get pregnant.

Having already lost two children, Wyatt didn’t want to lose another one.

“Jeremy, I know you and your friend are capable.” Wyatt patted Jeremy on his shoulder and said solemnly, “Please

take good care of her and the baby.”

Jeremy slapped his hand away and retorted petulantly, “It’s useless asking a favor from me. I’m a scientific

researcher, not a gynecologist! Besides, it doesn’t have a fetal pole. It’s practically dead.”

“Well, let’s not be so negative.” Peter expressed his professionalism. “We can’t see the fetal pole, but it doesn’t

mean it’s non-existent. Take good care of her, and you’ll probably see it through an ultrasound at the hospital later.”

Wyatt’s gaze immediately turned to the doctor, and his expression was no longer fierce. “I’m counting on you to

take care of them. Feel free to let me know whatever you want.”

In response, Jeremy sneered. “He’s not a materialistic person!”

However, he was proven wrong by his doctor friend in the next second. “Don’t worry, Mr. Lopez. Just leave

everything to me! I’ll be sure to ask someone to send the best medicine here. Well, our research center is short of

funds for a new medicine’s research—”

Wyatt said, “Send me your bank account details. I’ll fund you through my personal account.”

“Thank you, Mr. Lopez!”

Jeremy was rendered speechless.

Peter was still packing up his things when Jeremy and Wyatt left.

Jeremy spoke as they walked downstairs. “I’ll be going to Yartran to attend the party in two days. Look for Peter if

you need anything. He’s better than me at this.”

“Did Curtis ask you to go?” Wyatt suddenly looked gloomy. “To help Jefferson?”

Jeremy sighed. “I’m sure you know the grudge between Curtis and Arnaud. Even though Curtis isn’t fond of

Jefferson, if Jefferson loses this time, Arnaud will be in charge of the Terblanc family. Arnaud has a wide network,

and if he gains more power now, it’ll be harder to stop him from entering Aploth or deal with him.”

“Isn’t James already there?”

“He is capable for sure, but the people working for Arnaud aren’t pushovers either. Weren’t you all on good terms

when you traveled to Jetroina together? What happened?” Jeremy said with a sigh.

Wyatt let out a snort in response. “It’s probably pointless for you to go to Yartran.”

Sensing something was amiss, Jeremy asked with a frown, “Did you do something?”

“I was here in the country the whole time. What can I possibly do?” Wyatt replied casually. Distancing himself from

Jeremy, he quickly went downstairs.

Jeremy merely kept quiet as he watched Wyatt leave.

“Mr. Lopez.” Gianna, who had been waiting in the living room, approached Wyatt as soon as she saw him. “Is Ms.

Marsh okay?”

However, Wyatt ignored her.

Gianna flashed a flustered smile and tactfully took a step back.

Jeremy walked by and glanced at her and only then remembered that besides Jessica, there was another woman in

this mansion. He was also suddenly reminded of the milk he brought back to run a test on.

Wyatt walked Jeremy to the door and waited for Peter to finish packing. Then, he watched them get in the car.

Peter had promised to come to see Jessica again in a week for a check-up.

Jeremy was not in a rush to get into the car and handed a report to Wyatt. “This is the report from when I came

here before. I took some milk Jessica drank and brought it back to run some tests.”

“Was the milk not fresh?” Wyatt asked as he took the report.

His expression darkened as soon as he saw the word “progesterone” on the report.

Knowing that he saw it, Jeremy said, “It’s exactly what you think. The milk contained contraceptive pills. However,

she was locked up here by you, and you were the one who hired these housekeepers, so this couldn’t possibly

appear here. Every time I visit her, her condition deteriorates even more. She seems weaker and is practically a

bag of bones now. As for you, don’t you realize you have changed? You’re always acting like you’ve lost all

rationale.”

Seeing Wyatt lower his head and remain silent, Jeremy patted him on the shoulder. “If you want to keep her and the

baby, you have to calm down and reflect on yourself. You should also observe the people around you.”

With that, he got into the car.

Wyatt remained standing there with the report in hand even after the car left for a long time. Jeremy’s words

continued to echo in his ears, and he gradually grew calm.

Jeremy’s right. I’ve been less like myself lately and am easily irritable.

Although he had hired the housekeepers to take care of Jessica, he rarely came over and usually didn’t stay for long

each time he came. In fact, this time he only came here after a month. He had no idea how they had been treating

Jessica.

Again, Wyatt lowered his head to look at the report. Then, he strode back to the house with a grim expression.

“Gather all the housekeepers, including those on leave.” After entering the house, Wyatt instructed a housekeeper

coldly as he pulled out a chair.

Gianna gulped as she saw Wyatt’s expression, hoping he hadn’t found out about her scheme.

“Mr. Lopez, why are you gathering the housekeepers at this hour?” Gianna approached him and probed cautiously,

“Is it because you think the housekeepers have failed to take good care of Ms. Marsh?”

Wyatt glanced at her while flashing a cold smile. “Yes, she is too thin, and that’s why I think the housekeepers

haven’t been taking good care of her. I don’t stay here often, but you have been living here all the while. Tell me,

how do the housekeepers treat her?”

“I feel that they take good care of Ms. Marsh.” Gianna felt a chill down her spine from Wyatt’s stare and forced a

smile. “Whenever it’s mealtime, they will serve Ms. Marsh first, and all the meals are very nutritious. I think it’s

because Ms. Marsh doesn’t have an appetite. Whenever the housekeeper comes down, there would still be a lot of

food left on the plate. Am I right, Heidi?

Then, Gianna looked at the housekeeper who stood at the side.

“Yes, Ms. Gianna is right,” Heidi answered in a trembling voice as she lowered her head. “Ms. Marsh is always saying

she doesn’t have an appetite and would stop after taking a few bites.”
