The two agreed to meet at a private restaurant near the hospital.
Elizabeth finished her classes at around four o’clock in the afternoon. When she arrived at the restaurant, it was already almost six in the evening Hence, she could have her dinner there.
Jessica was not too far away from the restaurant, so she was the one who arrived first.
When Elizabeth walked into the private room, she saw Jessica drinking some alcohol. Hence, she tugged Jessica’s arm as
she sat beside the latter. “Don’t drink too much.”
Jessica broke into a smile as soon as she saw her. It was then a trace of vitality finally appeared on her attractive face.
“Lizzy, I’ll ask them to serve the food now. Can you accompany me for some drinks?”
Elizabeth knitted her brows. “What happened?” Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
After all, she had a low alcohol tolerance. Moreover, Jessica was not someone who enjoyed drinking as she had been selling wines in nightclubs. Hence, she should feel nothing but disgust toward alcohol.
“I’m delighted. Pearl can finally proceed with her surgery next Friday.” Jessica hugged Elizabeth as she said that. “Lizzy,
finally, this day has come. There’s hope for Pearl and me now.”
Pearl had been staying in the hospital for two years, and because of that, Jessica had spent everything.
Elizabeth’s eyes lit up. “They’ve found her the bone marrow? That’s great! We have to celebrate.” Patting Jessica’s
shoulder, she added, “I’ll have some drinks with you today.”
Just then, the waiter came in to serve the food. Elizabeth poured herself a glass of alcohol before filling Jessica’s glass.
“Jess, things will get better for Pearl and you.”
As long as they could leave the hospital, everything would definitely get better.
Elizabeth recalled how rough things were for Jessica over the past two years. She had to take care of Pearl in the hospital
in the morning, and she needed to work at Night City at night. She had spent almost all her time in the hospital as if she was a
resident there.
A bright sile bloomed on Jessica’s face. She raised her hand and clinked her glass with Elizabeth’s. “We’ll all become
better.”
Jessica had finished a few glasses of alcohol before Elizabeth arrived at the restaurant. They then enjoyed their food and alcohol while playing some drinking games together.
Not long after, Jessica was a little drunk. Hence, she told Elizabeth about something that had been troubling her recently.
“Lizzy, you know Leonard, don’t you?”
For some reason, Elizabeth felt the white wine tasted nice too. The more she drank, the more enjoyable she felt. Holding

her glass, she nodded vigorously at Jessica. “Of course, I know him! Mr. Johnson is Matthew’s childhood friend.”
Jessica sent another spoonful of food into her mouth Biting her food angrily, she said, “He’s such a badass in bed! He’s
always asking me to try a lot of embarrassing positions! I…” She then covered her face and continued, “Lizzy, I was once
married, and I’ve given birth to a daughter. However, I have no experience in that area.”
Elizabeth widened her eyes. “What? Did Leonard bully you?”
That was the only thing she understood. As for the “positions” Jessica mentioned, she did not quite get what the latter
meant.
Jessica nodded. “Yes. He bullied me! He’s a bad man.”
She thought of how Leonard bullied her by forcing her to sleep with him every night for over half a month.
Fortunately, there were only a few days left. As long as Pearl finished her surgery, Jessica would have nothing to do with Leonard anymore.
At that thought, Jessica let out a sigh of relief. I’ve finally made it through.
Upon hearing what Jessica said, Elizabeth could no longer hold back her anger. She took out her phone and called
Leonard without hesitation.
“Hello?” Leonard‘ cold yet magnetic voice sounded from the other end of the line.
“Leonard, you b’stard! Why did you bully Jessica? Come out and challenge me one–on–one now!”
Jessica broke into laughter. After drinking another glass of alcohol, she poked Elizabeth’s head. “Silly girl. He’s a soldier, and he’s good at fighting! There’s no way you’ll beat him. You’ll even get yourself injured for nothing.
Elizabeth could not care less about that. She continued shouting through the phone. “Leonard, come to Moore Restaurant now! I’ll be waiting for you here. If you don’t come, I’ll go to your place!”
After hanging up the call, she continued cursing, “That d’mned man! How dare he bullies my Jess. I’ll beat him to
death.”
Leonard was perplexed as he did not know why he got scolded out of the blue. However, he could tell from the call that Elizabeth and Jessica were drunk.
