Chapter 226 

Jessica lugged the bags into the taxi, finally feeling a bit relieved after the ordeal. 

She was a bit uneasy because Alistair treated her like she was his mom even though she met him for the first time today, 

Is there something off about this son–in–law? 

The more she thought about it, the more worried Jessica became She quickly took out her phone to call her husband. 

Peter had just dropped off a customer. He was about to make a turn when he received his wife’s call. Smiling, he said. “Honey, I’m coming back home. I brought you your favorite cake” 

Jessica said, “I don’t feel like having any cakes! Something very bad is happening!” 

Her eyebrow furrowed and she sounded extremely serious 

Peter was startled, wondering if her illness had struck her again. He quickly said, “It’s okay, honey, don’t be afraid. I’ll be right back. I’ll drive you to the hospital Don’t worry.” 

He repeatedly asked her not to be scared but his hands which were holding the steering wheel were slightly shaking. Jessica felt a bit speechless. Then she said, “I’m not sick or anything Why do you want me to go to the hospital 

Only then did Peter realize he had misunderstood her. He was immediately relieved. He explained, “Honey, don’t be upset! When you mentioned something very bad, I thought you were again. Your health is the most important thing to me

Knowing her husband was caring and affectionate, Jessica felt a bit happier. She smiled, “Who says only things about me are important? What about our daughter? 

Hearing this, Peter quickly asked, “What happened to Audrey? Is she doing okay?” 

He worked all day. He initially wanted to take a day off to comfort his daughter after learning what happened to her, but Jessica didn’t allow him to do it. 

Jessica sighed, “She isn’t doing very well!” 

Hearing Jessica’s voice, Peter became worried. He hurriedly asked, “Did you tell Audrey that we all believe she wouldn’t hurt. anyone on purpose? No matter what happens, we’ll be on her side and support her unconditionally!” 

Jessica said in a choked voice, “No, I didn’t.” 

Peter was confused. “Didn’t you go to find her to say these things to her? Why didn’t you tell her? Did something more important happen?” 

Jessica sighed, a bit lost, “I saw someone at Audrey’s place. I was so surprised that I forgot why I went there.” 

Peter asked, even more puzzled, “Who did you see?” 

He wondered who on earth could unsettle his wife. 

Jessica took a deep breath and said through gritted teeth, “I saw the old man!” 

Under the warm yellow light hanging in the hallway, Audrey gently took Alistair’s hand. 

She said, “Don’t worry. My parents are actually very easygoing. You did it great. My mom’s just not used to it. She definitely doesn’t dislike you.”
