She realized he loved her but what good was it?

He married someone else and had his own child.

Tears streamed down Jessie's face, the heartache outweighing the visible pain.

Albert approached her slowly. He wanted to touch her wound but hesitated. After a while, he simply whispered, "Jessie!"

Jessie gazed at Albert, with blood in her mouth, but she swallowed the ache and looked at him in the eyes.

She said with a light tone, "You saw it, right? You said you'd look out for me but it's been nothing but trouble. Could you and your family stay away from me, Mr. Watson? Please, I'm begging you!"

Albert's heart hurt hearing Jessie's words.

After a pause, he said gently, “Let me get you to the hospital."

Jessie declined but Albert insisted because her face was swollen.

He felt he couldn't leave Jessie in that state, even if they weren't together anymore.

So he took her away forcefully.

Since Jessie resisted, Albert had to carry her to the car. This drew the attention from the hotel staff.

Jessie tried to escape once she was put in the car but Albert had locked the doors.

He held her hand, voice hoarse as he said, “Please, stop fighting with me."

Jessie's eyes welled up with tears.

She retorted, "Why do you care about my injury? You have a wife that is pregnant with your child. Is it right to talk to me like this, to take me to the hospital? Don't you think I have suffered enough being attacked by your wife and her aunt? Or maybe my reputation isn't tarnished enough for you?"

"Jessie, please!" Albert groaned.

With lowered eyes, Jessie burst into tears. “Albert, meeting you is my biggest regret! If I hadn't been so stubborn, I wouldn't be in this mess! Let's be strangers from now on! Don't pity me anymore.

And I'll stay away from you too... It's for the best, for both of us."

Jessie wore a grave expression as she spoke.
