As Teddy came out of the doctor’s office, he was shocked to see Ava falling off the stairs. He didn’t even think twice before screaming her name and rushing towards her like the wind as he pushed Jane out of the way making her land on her butt due to how weak she is. Who would have thought this unfeeling man had this side to someone who isn’t his wife?

Ava has already calculated everything since she wanted to get Teddy back as soon as possible, there is nothing she couldn’t do, even if it’s to sustain some superficial wounds.

As Teddy rushed down the stairs to check on Ava’s condition, he saw that her forehead was bleeding profusely.

He was so angry that his body was about to convulse. He rushed down the stairs as he wanted to pick her up, but without knowing the extent of her injuries, he didn’t dare to move recklessly.

“What are you sitting there for? Call the doctor”. He shouted at Jane who was struggling to stand on her feet. She shivered uncontrollably at his hoarse voice.

Some nurses who heard the commotion came forward immediately as they placed Ava on the stretcher. They took her to the emergency room immediately.

Thinking about what just happened, Jane couldn’t help but notice that Ava had just played her. If she has to compliment her, she should be given a medal for being a good actress.

Pah! Pah! Two hot slaps were delivered to Jane's cheeks bringing her out of her reverie. Looking at the man in front of her seething with anger, she knew it was over already, but she still stood her ground.

“Ted, How dare you slap me? I didn’t push her, she fell herself.” And did you know that Ava’s sickness has been cured since a month ago? She had been pretending since all this while. It’s because I knew her secret, that’s why she wants to frame me. Jane angrily blurted out all her frustration.

“Just shut up already. Haven’t you harmed her enough, now you are telling me that she has been feigning her sickness for a month now. Did you think the doctors wouldn’t tell me if her condition had gotten better?

I saw you with my own eyes and you are still denying it. If anything happens to Ava, you will regret ever knowing me in this life”. Saying that, he strolled away angrily, not even taking another glance at her.

“Ted, at least hear my side of the story please”. Trying to run after him, she fell again for the second time due to her weak body. Her knees were in so much pain due to the fall, but she couldn’t care less about it as she tried getting up to continue chasing after him.

After an hour, Ava was pushed out of the emergency room. Her forehead has been treated and also covered with gauze.

“Teddy, I’m fine honestly, and Jane didn’t push me, I fell down the stairs myself”. Ava who was accompanied by Teddy as they pushed her to her ward said to him weakly.

“It’s okay Ava, there is no need to defend that heartless woman. And by the way, I saw when she pushed you down the stairs myself. Enough is enough, I’m going to teach her a very good lesson this time”.

Taking out his phone from his inner suit jacket, he called his assistant, who picked up immediately.

“Get through my lawyer immediately. Tell him it’s time for him to draft out the divorce agreement I told him about”. Without waiting for the other party to reply, he cut off the call.

Ava was overjoyed hearing this, had she known, she would have pulled off this taunt earlier.

“Ted, this isn’t right, you wouldn’t just divorce her just because of this small mistake, you should calm down Ted”. She said with a sad look on her face as if she genuinely cared about Jane.

“Why should I continue keeping up with her? By the way, I thought you didn’t like her, why are you defending her? He said as he stared at Ava meaningfully. After a while, he stood up and gave her a small smile. He didn’t even think about why Ava that is sick would be outside of her ward in the first place.

Not long after he left the ward, Jane walked in still looking weak with the small steps she took towards Ava who was lying down on the bed. As she saw Jane, she couldn’t help giving her a smug look as she smiled beautifully.

“Now that you have set me up, are you happy now?”. Jane said as she gritted her teeth in anger.

“Miss, please who are you? I don’t even know you talk less of setting you up, please just get out of here. I don’t know what you are talking about”.

Jane laughs out loud. Now you know how to pretend right? You should tell Ted yourself that I didn’t push you down the stairs, or else you will regret it.

“And what can you do to me? Even if you tell Teddy, do you think he will believe you? He would think you are framing me up just because you are guilty. If you want to tell him, go ahead.”Ava said to Jane mockingly.

Jane knew what Ava said was true because, just now she told Teddy about Ava’s sickness being cured, he didn’t believe her. Since you won’t confess yourself, I will make sure to get solid evidence to clear my name.

“And who gives you the right to enter here and bully her?” Hearing that angry voice, Jane couldn’t help getting angrier.

    Teddy, who was carrying a lunch box he had just gotten from the hospital restaurant, walked in. Who knew he would be meeting this heartless woman here? “Bully her you said, I just came to tell her to clear my name. Which eyes of yours see that I’m bullying her? And by the way, she is trying to frame me. I will make sure to get evidence to prove my innocence.” “Who would be so stupid to suffer such a big fall just to frame someone like you up?” Teddy mocked as he glared at her. “Get lost immediately or I will make you regret it”. Teddy angrily shouted at her. No need to chase me out, I will leave. She left the ward with a straight back not looking weak at all. Back to the present, Standing up from the cold floor, Jane picked up the pen that was sitting on the table beside her. Looking at Teddy’s signature on the paper, which doesn’t look like he was reluctant to sign the papers at all, she felt a sharp pain in her chest, as she signed the divorce agreement with tears streami

    At the last minute, the man caught one of her hands as her legs dangled in the air. Using all his strength, he tried lifting her. “Why are you saving me, just let me go?” She shouted at the man that just saved her. “Just shut up, and stop struggling”. He said as he used all his strength to drag her falling body off the bridge. After making sure she wouldn’t try anything stupid after her feet touched the ground, he breathed a sigh of relief as he glared at her as if saying why is she so stupid to think committing suicide will solve all her problems? Too weak to say anything, Jane collapsed due to exhaustion. “Hey, the man protected her body from falling on the cold bridge floor. Open your eyes and talk to me”. Not receiving any response, he carried her in a bridal style as he walked hurriedly to his car that was parked on the other side of the bridge. “Boss, what is wrong with her?” His driver, who had been watching his boss who wouldn’t care about anything even if the w

    “Jane Lockwood!” Lucy exclaimed, her voice trembling, as she rushed over to the bed she was lying on. Touching her pale face, which was cold to touch, she choked on her sob. “I knew you were still alive, but they didn't believe me.” Dylan's expression turned puzzled seeing his girlfriend's reaction. “You know her?” Lucy nodded, tears streaming down her face. “We were friends since childhood, she disappeared a year ago.” Leonard’s gaze never left Jane. “What happened to her?” He questioned.

If I’m not mistaken, I think the reason she went missing was to escape the marriage. After getting this information from Lucy. Leonard's expression turned solemn. No one knows what he was thinking.

    Lucy snapped out of her thoughts hearing that. You can test me, I might be a match. She said, stretching her hand forward. Dylan's grip on Lucy tightened. "Are you sure, Lucy?" Leonard's expression turned solemn. "We'll do everything to help Jane recover." Dr. Sophia nodded. "Let's run the tests." The medical team quickly took Lucy's blood samples. Hours passed, and Dr. Sophia returned with a hopeful smile. "Lucy, you're a perfect match. Your blood is compatible with Jane's." Lucy's face crumpled again, this time with relief. As the medical team prepared Lucy for donation, Leonard's thoughts lingered on Jane's arranged marriage partner. "Who was he, and why did she want to escape?" he wondered.

The hours ticked by as they all waited for the end of the surgery. Finally, Dr. Sophia came out from the operatin

    Leonard sprang to his feet, rushing out of his office. I will be there soon. He hung up immediately not waiting for Lucy’s reply. Thirty minutes later, he was standing in front of the ICU room. He does not know what’s the matter with him. He was not an impulsive person, but since he met her, it’s like he had turned into a different person. “Hey Mr. Banks, you are here.” Dr Sophia’s voice brought him out of his reverie. “Why aren’t you entering already?” She questioned as he faced her. Leonard blinked, snapping back to reality. “Oh sorry, Dr Sophia, I was lost in my thoughts.” Dr Sophia’s eyes sparkled with curiosity. I presume it’s about Jane?” Leonard’s cheeks warmed slightly, but he nodded, confirming her suspicions. Dr Sophia’s eyes sparkled seeing the embarrassed Leonard. Who would have thought the ruthless billionaire also has a day when he feels embarrassed? “You care deeply about her, don’t you?” She said while smiling. Leonard was silent, unsure of how to res

    After the call with his assistant, Leonard didn’t bother telling Jane and Lucy goodbye before he left the hospital. He took a long stride towards his car in the parking lot. He couldn’t explain the turmoil brewing inside him. His driver, James, had already opened the car door as he saw him approaching. “Where to sir?” James asked Leonard after he slid into the backseat. “To the office,” Leonard replied curtly. As the car pulled out of the hospital parking lot, Leonard's phone buzzed. “Leonard, where are you?” Lucy called after noticing that Leonard had left the hospital. Leonard hesitated, unsure of how to respond. Would he tell her that he left just because he was angry hearing Jane say she loved someone other than him? That sounds crazy. “Something came up at the office. I had to rush back.” He finally said. Is everything okay? Lucy asked with concern. Leonard's gaze drifted out of the window. Everything is fine. Just a document that needed my signature urgently.

    “Hi Jane,” Dr. Sophia said with a warm smile. “How are you feeling today?” “Better, thanks to you,” Jane replied with a forced smile. Dr. Sophia nodded. “You are welcome, Jane. I’m glad you are recovering well.” After another series of checkups, Dr. Sophia gave Jane instructions on what she shouldn’t do in the meantime before she left. Jane and Lucy didn’t continue their earlier discussion. They just sat quietly in the ward. Not long after, Lucy's phone rang. The caller ID indicated it was Dylan calling. She excused herself as she went to receive the call. Jane was deep in thought, her mind drifting to that night on that bridge, where the kind Leonard saved her from committing suicide. Her lips couldn’t help curling up remembering her arguments with him on the bridge that night. “How stupid Jane.” She whispered to herself. Her gaze drifted to the hospital window, watching the city bustle below. Her thoughts were interrupted by the sound of the door opening. She thought

    At Leonard’s office. After a long stressful day at the office, Leonard was prepared to work overnight as usual, but his mind kept on drifting to Jane’s pictures that were displayed on his desk. Leonard’s face lingered on Jane's smiling face in the picture, his thoughts consumed by her. He couldn’t focus on the reports in front of him. A soft knock was heard as Rachel opened his office door. By now almost all the employees are off work. It’s late already. She was also preparing to leave the office after finishing her work. Knowing her boss would still be here working overtime as usual, she wanted to ask if he needed anything before she called it a day. Sir, do you need anything? She asked, closing the door behind her. Leonard shook his head. “No Rachel, you can leave.” As Rachel departed, Leonard's gaze returned to Jane’s pictures. He recalled their encounter on the bridge the day he saved her. Her desperation, and his instinctive response. “Why was he drawn to her? He

    “Is everything alright?” Jane asked worriedly as she saw Leonard's frowning face. Leonard let out a deep sigh as he heard Jane’s worried voice. Taking his gaze back to the beautiful woman on the screen, his frown immediately vanished as he smiled lovingly at Jane, whose despite her bruised cheek, her beauty still shone through.

    New York 10:00pm “Ouch,” Jane, who stood in front of the vanity in her room, winced in pain. Her eyes welled up in tears as she dabbed cotton swabs on her swollen cheek. She bit her lips to hold back her whimper. Her hand trembled slightly as she hissed through gritted teeth as the swab made contact with her tender cheek skin. The warm glow of the table lamp on her vanity cast a warm glow on her soft and delicate body. As she studied her reflection in the mirror, she noticed the faint bruise that had formed on her tender cheek skin. Her thought couldn’t help drifting back to Helen’s ruthless slap, as her mind replayed the scene continuously. A spark of anger ignited within her as she felt the surge of revenge brewing in her heart. She was done with letting others bully her. From today onwards, she was done with being a victim of bullying. Just then, her phone rang, it’s loud ringtone shattering the peaceful silence in the room, interrupting her thought.

And I don’t ever want to hear you call Jane an outsider. She is family.” Grandpa Edward said, his face slightly pale, but his words were firm.“Fine, since you are not supporting me anymore, I will leave.” Ivy’s face contorted in anger as she said this. “Had you not promised me when I was young that Leonard was mine, I wouldn’t be so obsessed with him till now.
