So James suddenly had an idea and knelt down on the ground, saying, "If you are worried, I'll propose right now. Jessica, marry me. Give me the opportunity to love you all your life."
Jessica's eyes were wide open. Her eyes looked especially empty since her look was pale.
Jessica said, "Don't joke." She tried to withdraw her hand, but James wouldn't let go. He seemed determined and genuine.
James said, "I'm not joking. I will not let anything bad happen to you, never!"His voice was strong and firm. This was a promise from a man to his beloved woman.
Maybe what James said gave Jessica firm belief. She stopped moving around. But she shook her head, "I can't marry you."
She was fatally poisoned. She didn't know whether she could survive this or not. How dare she say yes?
James could tell Jessica was worried about her uneasy look. He said, "If you're cured, will you marry me?"
Jessica bit her lips. She got more worried and troubled.
