I was momentarily stunned.

I almost forgot about this matter.

Grandpa had passed away, and Ryan, as the head of the Frost family, naturally had to move in.

I freed myself from his grasp and compromised. "Forget it then."

Later that evening, the servants prepared dinner, and Albert came to call us downstairs to eat.

The vast old mansion seemed to be functioning in an orderly manner as usual.

However, everyone's expressions were somewhat solemn.

After dinner, I returned to my room to wash up and fell into a deep slumber.

For two whole days, I had hardly closed my eyes. I was tired but couldn’t sleep.

Now that everything had settled down, I slept particularly soundly, waking naturally only the next morning.

Ryan was no longer there.

These days, the company had been extremely busy, with rival companies trying to take advantage of this time to strike.

When I arrived at work, I received many strange looks along the way.

Although Ryan had promised not to have any more contact wit

    I stared intently at the screen.One photo showed the side of Jack and me at the concert.The other captured us leaving, his arm seemingly draped around my shoulder from behind.Seeing the second photo, I suddenly understood why I had barely been bumped into after almost falling that day.It turned out Jack's hand had been protecting me from behind...I didn’t know to laugh or cry. "This person's imagination and logical reasoning skills are quite impressive.""Jack is so attentive to you, no wonder people are speculating." Jane remarked, "In my opinion, he's more reliable than Ryan.""Don't talk nonsense." I took a sip of hot tea. "He has someone he likes, and he's liked her for many years.""Who does he like? Why hasn't he brought her out for us to see?""I don't know. I guess when he succeeds in pursuing her, he'll bring her out."I kept silent about Jack liking someone who was already married.After all, it was his privacy, and it was somewhat... unethical. The fewer peop

    She exerted tremendous force, her meticulously manicured nails digging deep into my skin, burning with a fiery pain.Hearing her words, Jane's face changed instantly. She wanted to rush forward to pull me away, but Jessica held onto my wrist tightly, refusing to let go.Her eyes were almost crazed, tainted with a coldness. "Didn't you understand? I told you to call Ryan.""Okay." Jane hesitated because of my pregnancy, not daring to forcefully pull me away. She had no choice but to compromise. "I'll call him now, just let go of Charlotte.""No way!"Jessica dragged me out of the shopping center, walked a bit further, and in front of us was the bustling main road with cars passing by.I recalled the sight of Ryan covered in blood last time, feeling a chill down my spine.Jessica... she might really be capable of dragging me into something as extreme as dying together.Jane's face turned pale. She had already dialed the phone. "Don't be impulsive, don't hurt Charlotte.""Put it

    The next moment, I fell hard to the ground in pain...The pain made my head spin.My knees hurt, my arms hurt, my stomach... also hurt.I parted my lips to call out his name, but I saw him anxiously holding Jessica, who had also been hit by the car. He shouted urgently and angrily, "Are you trying to get yourself killed?"Although it was an angry question, his eyes were full of fear and concern.Then, he took out his phone and dialed a number, his fingers trembling, "Gary, come over right away!""Charlotte!"Everything happened in an instant. Jane was probably even more stunned than I was. Once she reacted, she dashed through the traffic and ran over quickly, even losing one of her high heels.Her tears fell heavily. She wanted to help me but was afraid of worsening my injuries. Trembling, she said, "Charlotte... don't be afraid..."I felt something warm slowly flowing out of my body, and with the last of my strength, I grasped Jane's hand, "It hurts... Jane, it hurts so much.

    It felt as if my heart had been torn apart.Tears no longer came, and my voice trembled weakly. "I have no husband, no family... Please, you must save my child.""Mm..." The nurse glanced between my legs with a troubled expression, but eventually said, "We will do our best."Hearing these words from a medical staff, I breathed a slight sigh of relief.But as soon as I was lifted onto the operating table and the doctor asked about the situation, he immediately said, "Call the anesthesiologist, prepare for emergency uterine evacuation."I stared at the glaring surgical light with wide eyes, my eyes dry and painful.My ankle-length dress was lifted by the doctor, who seemed to ask me something, but my brain buzzed and I had no other choice.I felt a slight sting on the back of my hand, and instantly lost consciousness, sinking into darkness."Mommy.""Mommy.""I’m leaving, Mommy doesn't want me anymore..."Watching the small figure drift further and further away from me, I sudd

    The sudden barrage of questions left me stunned.I rubbed my throbbing abdomen and spoke palely, "What did you say?""She had a miscarriage!"Ryan pointed towards the direction of the hospital room, his eyes filled with cold intensity. "She lost her child! The doctor said it will be very difficult for her to have children in the future! Charlotte, are you satisfied?"His questioning shook me to the core. My throat felt like a sponge soaked with water, lips curling bitterly before I managed to speak. "She had a miscarriage?"‘But... I had a miscarriage too, Ryan.’The blood that flowed from my body was our child, the child I had earnestly anticipated for so long.I had always thought that even if this disastrous marriage ended one day, I could still have a child to accompany me.But now, there was nothing left.It seemed... there was nothing worth looking forward to anymore.His words blamed me for Jessica's "nonsense", which caused me to lose everything. But in the end, I was

    I paused for a moment, feeling an indescribable sadness welling up inside me.The whole world knew that I loved him. There was no room left in my heart for anyone else, yet he always thought I loved someone else.If it were in the past, I would have wished to take my heart out and show it to Ryan, saying, "Look, it's filled with your name." But now I can't do that anymore.Even if I were to take it out, I doubt I could find his name on it. All that remains was devastation.On the way back to Jane's house, Jane looked at me with concern, hesitated for a moment, and couldn't help asking, "Why didn't you tell him that you also had a miscarriage?""It wouldn't make any difference."I leaned against her shoulder, clutching my stomach, my voice feeble. "To exchange it for a moment of his change of heart, and then what?"I had done such things too many times already. Trying again and again to reconcile, only to end up utterly ruined each time.But this time, the cost was even heavier.

    Just like my marriage with Ryan, after three full years of living together day and night, being close companions, we could sever ties with just a few suitcases."Ms. Wilson."At noon, Nancy knocked and entered, holding her brightly lit phone with a complex expression, hesitating as she spoke, "So... you know my idol?"I knew she meant Jack and smiled. "Yes, didn't I tell you before? He and I were classmates in university.""When did he return to the country?""Just recently."As I packed things up, I replied, "I was thinking after things have settled, I'll introduce you to him.""Weren't you both going to a concert together? Why didn't you invite me?""What are you talking about?"I instinctively explained, "I was stood up that day and happened to run into him at the entrance, so we watched the concert together.""Really?"Seeing her unusual expression, I couldn't help but ask, "Really. What’s wrong?""Nothing, just saw something on the forum, thought maybe you and him were

    Stomach Cancer.I was stunned for a moment, looking at Aunt Laura in disbelief. "How could... how could you..."Before Aunt Laura could speak, Bob interjected, "In my opinion, you can compromise on other things, but when it comes to treating illness, you should use the best."I glanced at Aunt Laura and agreed, "That's true. I have 40 thousand on hand. I can give it all to Aunt Laura for her treatment."The child was gone...I didn’t really need to have too much money.Money could be earned back, but a person...Unexpectedly, Bob frowned disapprovingly. "You're only offering 40 thousand?"I replied honestly, "That's all I have.""Do you think I'm a fool?" Bob was angry. "Don't think I don't know what kind of person your husband is. When that old man came to our house with the betrothal gifts, I asked. It's the Frost family! the Frost family of Jelaston! Five hundred thousand is nothing to you? Charlotte, how did I not realize you're a heartless person?!"A bitter taste rose i

    Jane rolled her eyes at him.Zachary, however, let out a deep smile from his eyes."Have fun here. I have some things to take care of. We'll go to the banquet together tonight."Jane couldn't care less about him, waving her hand.Zachary patted her head before leaving.A young girl, smiling, teased, "You and your boyfriend have such a good relationship."Jane wanted to explain, but she didn't think it was necessary. Maybe she wouldn’t come to this place again. Even if she did, she could explain it next time.She smiled. "Could you teach me how to make the embroideries?"The girl happily agreed.Embroidery was indeed very time-consuming and mentally draining. Jane spent the whole day sitting there, embroidering, only getting up to eat or use the restroom.She learned a stitching technique and completed a small piece.When she stood up to stretch her stiff back and neck, she saw Zachary walking toward her."Did you have fun?"Jane tossed the piece of embroidery at him dismis

    It was as if he could hear her thoughts. “I only said it to you.”Jane pushed him. "Go sit across from me.""Isn't it better for me to sit next to you? If I sit opposite from you, you’ll lose your appetite."Sitting next to him would only lead to more physical contact, making her even less able to eat."Just sit across from me."Zachary obeyed, standing up and moving to the opposite side. He then filled her cup with some more tea."Be careful with the tea. It’s hot. Don’t burn yourself."The breakfast they had was satisfying.Jane didn’t want to spend more time with Zachary, so she planned to talk to Dominic about intangible cultural heritage and the national trend.But Zachary directly shoved her into the car.She couldn’t escape, so she turned her back to him, ignoring him.Zachary didn’t provoke her either. He sat beside her, focused on his tablet, looking at recent work arrangements.In the front seats, Raymond and Ross exchanged glances.Ross didn’t slow down while ta

    He didn’t even furrow his brows."If hitting me will make you feel better, go ahead and hit me. Just make sure I’m still alive after you’re done. That way, I’ll still be able to make arrangements for you if someone bullies you."Jane snorted coldly. "You’re the one who’s bullying me.""Well, I admit that." His gaze burned with intensity as he looked at her. "I can’t live without you."Jane sneered. "Oh, so because you can’t live without me, you bully me?""How can having sex be seen as bullying you?"‘He’s so annoying.’Jane didn’t want to talk about these ambiguous topics with him."Let go, I need to wash up."Zachary released her, but Jane, still irritated, kicked him.Zachary, however, seemed to be in a great mood.Once she finished her makeup and changed clothes, they went out to eat together.As Zachary introduced Nelana to her, Jane became more and more upset."You know so much about Nelana, you must have already arranged everything in advance. So, last night, you we

    The phone was still turned off.But even though she was angry, Jane knew that Zachary wasn’t crazy enough to take someone’s life just because he was upset.She figured he just didn’t want her to contact Dominic tonight.She would call him tomorrow instead.However, when she woke up, she didn’t expect Dominic to be the one calling her first."Are you okay?"They both spoke at the same time.After saying that, both of them laughed.Dominic was still a little dazed. "Do you know what happened to me?""After I paid the bill yesterday, two tall and burly men in black suits dragged me into a car, and I passed out right away. I woke up this morning, having slept on the floor all night. My neck was sore from sleeping on the ground, and I think I might be catching a cold. Achoo—"Jane cursed Zachary inwardly.How petty! What was wrong with putting Dominic on his bed?"One of my friends is a weirdo, sorry for the trouble."Dominic sniffed. "It wasn’t too bad. By the way, is he your

    Knock knock—There was a knock at the door.Zachary stood up to open it.Raymond handed him a chicken pizza.He sensed that the atmosphere wasn’t quite right and, gathering some courage, she asked, "Sir, you didn’t have anything for dinner. Should I have the hotel bring something over?"Zachary nodded and mentioned a few dishes.Raymond agreed and went to instruct the hotel.He happened to run into Ross on his way back and they chatted."I have no idea what Miss Greenwood might want. Mr. Collins doesn’t even know what he likes to eat himself, but he remembers what she likes."Ross, eating a sandwich, said, "Doesn’t Mr. Collins like roast chicken?"He remembered that when Miss Greenwood brought food to the Mr. Collins’s house last time, she had mentioned it.Raymond shot him a look. "You’re a blockhead. That’s what Miss Greenwood likes. Now, the things that Mr. Collins like are because they’re what Miss Greenwood likes."Ross blinked. "Oh."Raymond was rendered speechless.

    Jane said, "This is not something you should be doing.""I caused the injury, so I should be the one to handle it.""I'll do it myself!"Zachary held her hands, "You can't see the injury, you have long nails as well. What if you hurt yourself again? I think I should apply the medicine."Jane felt helpless."Zachary, I’ll just ask you one thing, can you understand what I’m saying?""I’ve already ordered pizza. It’ll be delivered soon."‘As expected, he doesn’t understand what I said,’ thought Jane.Jane was no match for Zachary in terms of strength or words, so she ended up crying.Zachary stopped.Jane immediately broke free from his hands and sat on the other side of the bed."Do you only feel happy when you see me in pain?"Zachary pursed his lips. "No.""Then why do you insist on forcing me to do things I don't want to do? I’m a person, not some item that you can do whatever you want to.""Is that how you see me?" Zachary looked at her, his eyes darkened slightly. "I l

    "I was just handling some matters, but I can't tell you. Please understand."Jane seemed to believe him and nodded. "I see."Raymond also nodded. "That's right."Jane smiled. "You were handling matters, but what about the others?""They also have their own matters to deal with.""So..." Jane’s gaze suddenly became sharp. "You all went off to work, but there's no one guarding the hotel entrance? Aren’t you worried that while he’s in bed with me, his enemies might come and kill him? After all, the bed is when a man is most vulnerable. You’re a man, so you should understand that, right?"For a moment, Raymond seemed distracted, as if he had seen his Mr. Collins casually asking him what mistake he had made.Then, with a cold tone, he would be sent off to Afrealia, just like Roy.The more you say, the more mistakes you make. He stopped explaining and simply said."Miss Greenwood, it’s not safe outside. You should stay in the hotel and wait for Mr. Collins."Jane didn’t believe the

    He placed the pillow behind her waist and asked gently, "What do you want to eat? I’ll have someone prepare it."Jane glared at him and said, "Get out!"Zachary took her hand and said, "There’s a banquet tomorrow. Come with me."Jane pulled her hand back and replied coldly, "You’re really sick.""Yes, and you’re the reason I”m sick."Jane raised her hand, intending to hit him. "Get out!"Zachary grabbed her wrist and smiled.Jane felt that he was seriously ill and decided it was better to just leave.But as soon as she lifted the blanket, a cold wind blew, and she quickly pulled it back up."Turn around!"Her teeth were clenched in anger, wishing she could bite him.Zachary's gaze slid over her body. "What are you hiding?""I..."Jane covered his mouth. "Don’t be such a pervert."Zachary held her hand. "The banquet tomorrow has to do with the purpose of your trip. Are you really not going?""How do you know what I came here for?"Zachary didn’t answer, just looked at he

    Annie saw the red marks on his neck as he moved.There was also a bite mark on his Adam's apple.Both marks told her of the wildness he had shared with Jane just moments ago.The thing she feared most had happened."And not even a day apart," Zachary said again, his voice was cold enough to send shivers down one’s spine.Annie met his sharp gaze, instinctively taking a step back.But then she felt it was wrong and moved forward to stand in front of him."What are you saying? I don’t understand," she said, reaching out to grab his arm.Zachary turned sideways to avoid her, and Ross immediately restrained Annie, kicking her in the knee and forcing her to kneel on the ground."Zachary!"Annie had never been so humiliated before.Since childhood, everyone had always revolved around her.She was given everything she wanted.Without speaking, people would rush to her, handing her things that were close to her heart.Zachary was no different, he had been delivered to her by her
