Chapter 1010

Author: Lean
Charlotte couldn’t help but sigh. “Can things really balance out like that? With the current situation, Mrs. Collins will inevitably use her health problems to threaten them into breaking up. If Zachary cuts ties with his family for Jane, it’ll only make her feel worse.”

Frank lifted her face again. “Let me see if you’ve gotten wrinkles yet.”

Charlotte pushed him away. “When will you ever stop joking around?”

Frank chuckled. “Is cheering you up a crime now?”

“It depends on the timing.”

“No matter the timing, my wife’s happiness is always the most important.”

Charlotte was helpless against Frank.

Frank raised his hand and lightly tapped her cheek with the back of it.

“Let Zachary handle his family’s affairs. Even if you keep worrying, you won’t be able to solve anything.”

Hearing his words, Charlotte suddenly felt a bit clearer.

“You and Zachary have a plan, don’t you?”

Frank looked at her brightened eyes, and a laugh spilled from his chest.

With a cryptic tone, he said, “Gu

    Frank found the situation boring and clicked his tongue dismissively.Charlotte asked, “Wouldn’t you be happy to have such an adorable daughter?”Zachary glanced at Gemma.The little girl smiled, revealing two dimples, her big, gem-like eyes sparkling.She looked like a delicate doll.Of course, he would be thrilled to have such a cute daughter with Jane.But the one in front of him clearly wasn’t his.She didn’t resemble him or Jane in the slightest.Neither of them had dimples.If nothing else, at least a trait like his sharp canine teeth should have been passed down.But the little girl had none of those.“We will have a lovely daughter,” Zachary said confidently.Charlotte stepped aside, taking Gemma with her, leaving the two of them space.Forgetting Frank for a moment, she suddenly heard him drawl, “Congratulations, you might be having a daughter soon.”“What?”Charlotte quickly clamped her hand over Frank’s mouth and dragged him away.“Surprises like this should

    She changed the topic, saying, "Your mother is ill."After boarding the plane, Zachary called home to check on the situation.Frank, sitting beside him, briefly explained what had happened during Zachary's coma.Zachary thought for a moment, then grabbed a blanket and returned to Jane's side, covering her with it.On the table in front of her were a tablet, fruits, water, and everything else she might need.Even so, Zachary still felt he hadn't taken care of her well enough."Do you feel uncomfortable? I heard your medical results weren’t great. If it might harm your health, then maybe..."Jane stuffed an orange into his mouth before he could finish.The orange was incredibly sour. She enjoyed it, but it made his handsome face scrunch up."Is it good?" she asked, her face full of triumphant delight.Zachary swallowed it whole and said, "Anything you feed me tastes good."Across from them, Charlotte was rendered speechless.Frank showed up just in time, popping a piece of c

    "Why are your hands so cold?"Zachary became even more anxious. He immediately picked her up, placed her on the seat, added another blanket, and asked the flight attendant to increase the temperature of the air conditioning."It’s not that cold."It was already spring. With all these layers on, Jane was worried she’d end up with a heat rash."I just washed my hands a moment ago," she explained.Zachary brought over a hand warmer for her. "Washing your hands doesn’t make them this cold. Just listen to me."Jane sighed. "It’s normal to feel nauseous during pregnancy. There might even be other symptoms later...""No, there won’t be. Nothing else will happen."Jane wanted to explain some of the facts so he could mentally prepare. When Charlotte was pregnant, Jane had read many books. If he was already this anxious now about the morning sickness, how would he handle what came later?Unexpectedly, he refused to accept any of it.Charlotte, observing the scene, couldn’t help but fee

    "I’m fine. I’ve already recovered quite a bit," Zachary said as he bent one knee to the floor.Jane instinctively wanted to kneel with him, but Zachary stopped her. "You can’t," he said, giving her a meaningful look.Understanding his intent, Jane obediently stood to the side.Rebecca became agitated. "Do your knees mean nothing to you? You’ve knelt once for her, and now again!"Lowering his gaze, Zachary said calmly, "I’m kneeling in front of my parents. There’s no question of whether it’s worth it or not. She is my fiancee, soon to be my wife. If she has caused you any displeasure, it’s my responsibility to bear it. What’s more, she hasn’t done anything wrong."Rebecca wanted to lash out, but Eric intervened. "Do you want to make your condition even worse with this anger?"A flicker of emotion passed through Zachary’s eyes, but his tone remained neutral. "I don’t understand. I only want to marry the person I love and have children. Why must you go to such lengths to oppose it

    Madam Collins’ words seemed caring, but in reality, they were meant as a warning.Zachary gently pulled his arm back and said, "No wedding, just getting the marriage certificate."“No way!” Rebecca objected.Madam Collins spoke calmly, “Registering the marriage is also a happy occasion, but it’s not suitable right now. I see your relationship is so strong, waiting a little longer won’t make a difference. The Collins family’s bloodline will never end up being talked about as illegitimate. Don’t worry about that.”Zachary wanted to say more, but Jane tugged on his arm.“I’m feeling a little unwell.”Zachary’s expression immediately changed. Without arguing with the family any further, he carried her straight to the doctor.When they reached the obstetrics department, she patted Zachary’s shoulder and said, “Put me down.”“Aren’t you...” Zachary instantly understood. “You’re trying to get me out of there?”Jane wrapped her arms around his neck and nuzzled him with her nose.“Pre

    They were heading back to their cozy little nest.On the way, her phone rang. When she saw the caller ID, she slapped Zachary’s thigh.“Oh no!”Zachary looked confused.“I forgot about Jordan!”Jordan had mentioned that she would be filming, and Westley had been by her side the entire time to protect her.Jane, preoccupied with her own matters, had assumed that with Westley around, nothing would go wrong.Her return to the country had been a last-minute decision, and she had left in a hurry.She was also dealing with the discomfort of her pregnancy.All the emotions and tasks piling up caused her to completely forget.Sure enough, when she answered the call, Jordan’s voice was full of grievance.“Aren’t we good friends?”“Yes, yes, we are,” Jane replied with an awkward cough. “Something urgent came up, so... I’m sorry.”Jordan, however, was gracious. “I understand your situation is special. Just treat me to a meal to make up for it. I’ll be flying to Jeswood soon.”“Alrig

    "I envy his fiancee so much!""You women are so shallow. Just because he’s buying some raviolis, you think he’s humbled himself for love. Why don’t you think about this—he’s the son of an affluent family. If he hadn’t picked someone from such a poor background, why would he come to this rundown place to buy these commoner foods?"As soon as the man finished speaking, he felt a sharp, cold gaze land on him.The people who had been enthusiastically discussing with him moments earlier suddenly avoided looking at him.But Zachary merely glanced at him.His raviolis were already packed, and he was eager to bring them back for Jane.He didn’t linger long, nor did he feel the need to waste his words on clueless fools like these.Besides, even if he explained, they probably wouldn’t understand—or even care.Meanwhile, Jane had been leaning against the car window, watching Zachary the whole time. When she saw him walking back, she opened the car door for him.“Hurry, get in.”Zachary

    Jane washed her face, took a moment to gather herself, then straightened up and hugged him."Stop reflecting on yourself already, hearing it makes my pregnancy symptoms worse."The tactic worked well, as she didn’t hear any more apologies from him afterward."I feel like eating an orange. Could you peel one for me?"Zachary immediately carried her to the sofa, tucked a blanket over her, and sat beside her to peel the orange.He meticulously removed every single white thread from the orange segments.Resting her chin on her hand, Jane watched him and teased, "You’re treating me even better now that I’m pregnant. Do you love the baby more than me?"Without hesitation, Zachary replied, "It’s because pregnancy is hard on you. If you hadn’t agreed to have the baby, I wouldn’t have kept—"Before he could finish, Jane kicked him, silencing him.He handed her the peeled orange.Jane couldn’t taste her mood anymore, so she focused on eating the orange.Zachary felt his teeth ache jus

    The second reaction was, could Leanne really take care of him? She was probably just going to send him off on his way to hell.The third reaction was that this might actually be a good opportunity.They could start over from scratch.The fourth...There was no fourth.Westley said, "If it were anyone else, I'd save them too. Jordan, you're not special to me, don't overthink it. Since we're divorced, let's not drag things on. This is what you want, and actually, it's what I want too. Just leave, let's keep some dignity between us. If I have someone ask you to leave, it won't look good. After all, we were once married. Let's just do this for the sake of our grandfathers who are watching over us."Jordan felt her nose tingle, her emotions rising, and the tears were starting to gather.She really didn't like to cry.Especially during confrontations and arguments. It really made her lose her strength.But after holding it back for so long, the tears still fell."I'm not crying bec

    In the end, these two babbled for a long time, but there was no real point."Dr. Greyson, I want to ask, what is his condition?"Carter flipped through the medical records in his hands and asked Jordan, "What will you do with this information? Didn't you two get a divorce? Whether he lives or dies has nothing to do with you."Jordan quickly said, "It does. He got injured because of me. If it weren't for me, I wouldn't be asking."Westley was rendered speechless.He saw the amusement that flickered in Carter's eyes.Such a feeling was hard to catch on Carter's face.Moreover, it flashed by so quickly.If it weren't for his sharp eyes, he wouldn't have noticed.‘Nosy bastard,’ thought Westley."If you have something to say, say it. If not, get out and stop acting mysterious." Westley had completely given up. "Even if you make my condition sound worse, I don't need my ex-wife to take care of me. Say whatever you want."The head nurse came looking for Carter, saying that the hos

    The fact that Westley was badly injured was something Frank only learned when Carter entered his ward again.He had originally thought that it was just an injury to the back, which would make it difficult for him to get up.But the next morning, Westley still couldn't get up on his own.Jordan had not slept that night. She sat by the hospital bed, watching him.The nurse had even asked her to keep track of the time.Westley couldn't move and had to rely on a catheter.At first, he wanted to send her away because of this.He did all he could, yet she still insisted on staying.But after taking some medicine, he fell into a deep slumber and lost any sense of embarrassment.When he woke up and saw daylight, he quickly tried to get up.He realized he couldn't.Jordan had kept in mind what Carter had said the day before.Carter was a skilled doctor, he was second to none in his field.Although his attitude was cold, there was nothing unnecessary in his words.She had to take e

    Westley should have been happy to be able to speak to her so calmly, and for her to stay and take care of him without drawing a clear line between them.But for some reason, he felt like there was a lump in his chest.The mist inside the oxygen mask appeared and disappeared."Jordan, don't do something that makes me misunderstand, or else I..."Jordan interrupted him. "The injury you took for me, it's only right that I take care of you. Don't overthink it. I remember all your kindness, and I will repay it, but don't think you can use this kindness to make me remarry you. You can bring up anything else, but not that."Westley never planned to use this kindness as leverage.Hadn't he learned enough from the past?If he didn't start using his brain to pursue her, how could he possibly win her back?"Don't worry. What you're afraid of will never happen. What I want is for you to willingly remarry me. Right now, I don't need your care. Just go."Jordan became stubborn as well. If s

    In the ward.Just as Jordan was about to approach the bed, she suddenly stopped.Her doe-like eyes were still glistening with tears.Her face was full of worry.But for some reason, her feet wouldn't move.A long time passed.Long enough for her thoughts to wander far away.From when she first arrived at the Howard family, to the breakdown of her relationship with Westley, then to the divorce, and now, Westley was lying in the hospital bed.His face was covered by an oxygen mask, and with each breath, a thin mist appeared and disappeared.Jordan had never seen Westley look so vulnerable.He rarely got sick.With his background, no one had ever given him a hard time.The times when he had to be hospitalized seemed to always be because of her.She had been rejected by Westley when she confessed, and later, when they married, she had been neglected for three years. She had been angry, resentful.She had even scolded him harshly.But now, thinking back on it.What had Westl

    Jordan didn't have much interaction with Carter, and there wasn't much to say.She anxiously waited outside the emergency room.She held her phone but didn't know who to call.It was Frank who heard the news and rushed over with Charlotte.Charlotte hugged Jordan. "It's okay, don't be afraid."Jordan seemed to find an outlet for her emotions and started speaking in broken sentences to Charlotte about what had just happened."It's all my fault... If it weren't for me..."Charlotte listened while gently patting her back to comfort her."It's not your fault. You did the right thing. They were hurting endangered wild animals, and it was their fault. It's illegal.""But he always protected me, even when he fell..."Their relationship was too complicated.Getting to this point wasn't something that could be explained in just a few sentences.Charlotte didn't feel she had the right to judge anything. She could only comfort Jordan for now. "Personally, I think, as a man, and as som

    Jordan poked her head out of Westley's embrace and found that they had been surrounded.Perhaps they thought they couldn't escape, and after throwing that club, they didn't continue attacking.The weak man clapped his hands, and the sarcasm in his voice was clear. "I love watching the desperate lovers' drama. Once I tie the male up, I'll let him watch as the female gets sold off. The look of despair on her face will be just so satisfying."‘Pervert,’ Jordan cursed inwardly.She knew this wasn't the time for arguing.She also regretted coming here.At the same time, she felt relieved that Jane and Charlotte had already left."Sorry..." she apologized to Westley.No matter how their relationship had broken down or how things had been before.Right now, it was indeed her fault.If she hadn't been so stubborn, unable to accept help, she wouldn't have dragged him into danger with her.Most importantly, she had finally gotten a divorce from Westley.She really didn't want to get

    The frail man sneered. "So naive. Why don't you sit here with me, I'll make sure to sell it to you at a good price. If you're a virgin..."Before he could finish his sentence, a heavy punch landed on his lecherous face.Westley struck again and again, twisting the frail man's face with each blow.Blood poured out, and two of his teeth were left behind in the blood.The sight of the red blood in Westley's dark pupils made Jordan feel a chill, and she could see the murderous rage in his eyes.She quickly stepped forward to stop him."Wes..."She was about to call his name but remembered the place.She couldn't expose her identity here.She quickly changed her tone. "Uncle Westley, please stop hitting him!"Westley's fierce expression faltered.In that moment of distraction, someone swung a club at her. He instinctively pulled her into his arms."Ugh!"The club hit his broad back and snapped instantly, showing the force behind the blow.Westley didn't even want to imagine wh

    She rubbed her face, suddenly feeling a bit scared.What if something happened to her? What would Frank do? What about Sparrow? And her mother?"Sorry."Frank poured her a glass of water, soothingly rubbing her neck."Why are you apologizing? You haven't done anything wrong."Charlotte took a sip of the water and asked, "Do you know what happened back there?""I'm not entirely sure. I haven't been to the black market much, but this shop has been around for a long time. People have asked about it before, but I haven't seen them since."Frank noticed she was trembling and pulled her into his embrace.He explained and comforted her. "I heard it's related to the ancient sorcery from Milast. The key lies in that piece of clothing, but how it works is unclear. Don't worry. I'll look into it. You should rest well for the next couple of days."Charlotte suddenly remembered. "Did Jordan catch up with us?"Frank squeezed her neck tightly, almost as a punishment."Have you forgotten ab
