Chapter 55
Besides, she didn’t have much time left
Her grandmother had always hoped she would keep the art of paper–cutting alive. Jessica would do what she could, for as long as she could. Because of love, she’d let down the two people who mattered most
Her thoughts drifted to Ines X
Ines’s touring exhibition was making its second stop in Riverside City
Jessica quickly grabbed her phone and scrolled through her contacts, finding the official account the’d saved after scanning the QR code last time
Tickets for the Riverside City show had already been on presale for days. The exhibition would open in three days at The Riverside Pavilion.
The events exclusive sponsor was the Lawson
soomed Timothy still hadn’t given up on the idea of having Ines mentor Sheila 2
Jessica hadn’t realized Sheila’s background was in animation, too..
After marrying. Sheila had left her career to focus on her family, letting go of her own ambitions. Jessica barely paid attention to anything related to animation
anymore
So Jessics had no clue what projects Shells had worked on, or what shed accomplished in the field
Still, she knew one thing for certain–if Sheila wanted something. Timothy would make sure she had every resource at her disposal?
Just like now–hed exclusively sponsored Ines’s exhibition…
All for Sheila
Love–or the lack of it was painfully obvious
Jessica vaguely remembered bringing it up with Timothy once that child studied animation in college, and hoped to keep working after marriage Timothy had disagreed. He insisted they didn’t need the money, that he could provide her with a good life, and wanted her to devote herself to their home. Jessics had thrown herself into domestic life without hesitation.”
She snapped out of her thoughts and bought a ticket for the Riverside City exhibition
Meanwhile. Timothy swung by the office to handle some urgent paperwork before heading to the hospital
Henry was doing much better playing a game with Shella &
Both of them were laughing, that faces lit up with genuine smiles
Timody couldn’t help but smile, too.X
Sheila looked up as he walked in. Timothy, the doctor says Henry’s improved a lot. If things keep going well, he can come home in a couple of days.”
Thank you for taking care of him, Timothy said. “Tell me what you want I’ll get you a gift.
Shells rated her eyes, half–laughing. Don’t be silly. You’re all family to me I’m not looking after Henry to get presents from you!?!
Henry piped up quickly, “Miss Shell, you really have been working hard if Dad wants to get you a gift, you should take it Besides, I’ve got something for you, too. Sheila’s face in up. “Oh? You’ve been in the hospital and still managed to get me a present?“%
Henry nodded “rep planned it before I got sick. Once we’re both out of here, you’ll see,
Shula reched out and playfully pinched Henry’s nose. Then I don’t want your dad’s gift–I just want yours. Deul?“.
Henry snuggled into Shola’s arins, grinning from ear to eur. “Well, Dad helped me with it a little, so it’s really from both of us “it
Henry, you little rascal‘ Sheila teased, “you’re keeping secrets now? I’m dying to know what it is
Watching them together, Timothy felt the anger Jessica had stirred in him begin to fade
But when he remembered that Jessica wanted a divorce, frustration bubbled up again X
He ordered dinner for everyone Meals hadn’t been very enjoyable lately it
With Jessics home, she’d probably have dinner ready, so Tumolly just kept Sheila and Henry company, picking at his food more out of politeness than hunger He pushed open the door and stepped inside
