NovelEnglishTears welled up in Jessies eyes.
Mixed emotions swirled but she gently pulled away.
Entering the ward one after another, they saw Jeslyn fussing. She knew Elsie adored her and would give her anything she wanted but, when she spotted Jessie, her smile faded fast.
Jeslyn buried under the blanket, grumbling, Whats with the visit? If youre here to beg me to your place, forget it. My spots bigger, comfier, and mosquito-free.

Albert gently tapped Jeslyn under the blanket. You were just talking about wanting to see Jessie. Shes here, but now you wont see her?
I dont want to see her. She said no to being my mom.
Jessie thought Jeslyn was being stubborn. She wondered how Albert had raised her. Logically, Jeslyn was his only kid and would take over the family business someday. But wasnt she a bit too wayward? Albert read Jeslyns mind in a flash.
He sat on the beds edge, explaining, Miss Green had a spat with her boyfriend, so theres a chance she could still be your mom.
Jeslyn peeked out from under the blanket, thrilled.
But she was also a proud kid, trying to hide her excitement. Daddy, it sounds like no one wants you. You will have to wait for Miss Green and her boyfriend to have a fight.
Jessie was left speechless.
Albert glanced at Elsie. Whered she pick this up? Are these things on TV now? Elsie replied calmly. Isnt that what youve been saying? She hears it, she learns it.
Albert rubbed his nose, Really? Did I really say that? Elsie nodded enthusiastically.

Jessie wanted to argue but Jeslyn was sick.
