Chapter 109

Author: Lean
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

    I thought about how difficult it must be for Aunt Laura to live in this family, and couldn't help feeling a bit sorrowful. "Aunt Laura..."Aunt Laura patted my head gently. "Silly child, tell Aunt Laura, why do you want a divorce?""I... "Aunt Laura and my father actually look quite similar. Every time I look at Aunt Laura, I feel a sense of familiarity.With her question, I couldn't hold back anymore. I threw myself into her arms and sobbed, "I... I lost my child, Aunt Laura. He was growing, he had hands and feet... but I couldn't protect him. I couldn't protect him!"Aunt Laura gently patted my back, comforting me. "Silly child, relationships between people and children are all about fate. It's not your fault. It's just that this time, fate wasn't on your side.""I was so looking forward to his arrival."I longed to have a real family member of my own.I lay in Aunt Laura's arms, crying for who knows how long, until I finally calmed down. Aunt Laura wiped away my tears. "If

    When I heard those words, I was instantly dumbfounded.Were they because of me?Jack's eyes suddenly dimmed, as if he had remembered something and became absent-minded. Ryan took advantage of this moment to flip over and counterattack.He pressed Jack against the wall, storm brewing in his eyes, his expression cold and sharp. "Jack, only Charlotte would be foolish enough to think you're some kind of gentleman!""And what about you? What exactly are you?" Jack lifted his head, his eyes flashing with mixed emotions, and chuckled. "Are you worthy of her? She also..."At his words, I jolted, rushing in front of Jack just as Ryan's next punch was coming down. "Jack! Stop!"Ryan's fist grazed my cheek as it passed by, crashing straight into the wall, his expression suddenly icy.His pupils tightened, filled with a destructive anger, he sneered repeatedly. "Charlotte, do you care so much for him?"Instinctively, I wanted to explain, but then I thought, why should I explain?When had

    It was not that I didn't know about his heartlessness and decisiveness, but I never thought he would apply the same tactics to me.A sourness surged to the tip of my nose. I turned my head, forcefully suppressing the grievance in my eyes, thinking of Aunt Laura's current situation. Despite tolerating things time after time, I eventually gave in, each word tinged with bitterness."Mr. Frost, someone in my family is ill and needs a VIP ward. Could you help arrange it?"His expression instantly froze, his finger trembling slightly, his voice hoarse. "What did you call me?"I squeezed my palms. "Mr. Frost, can you make the arrangements?"This address seemed to anger him. His jaw tightened, and he coldly spat out three words. "No, I can’t.""Charlotte..."Jessica sipped water in small sips, innocently explaining, "I'm sorry, there are only three VIP wards in St. Heart Hospital. My mom occupies one all year round, I need one, and Ryan is worried and insisted I stay here. There's also

    This was my first time being so stubborn and assertive in front of Ryan, demanding something so forcefully.He looked somewhat surprised, his gaze shifting to my side, and what he said next was even colder. "Whether you can wait or not, you have no choice!""Fine." I nodded lightly and continued calmly, "Then I will let everyone know that the Frost family is rotten to the core, so rotten that even a mistress can step on the head of the legitimate wife! Let's see how you justify this to your recently departed grandfather!"At the mention of his grandfather, he suddenly froze.Seemingly realizing belatedly, what his grandfather detested most was his unclear relationship with Jessica!It wasn't clear whether he was thinking of his grandfather or worrying about Jessica's reputation.Finally, Ryan swallowed hard, suppressed his emotions, glanced at Jessica, and said coldly, "Your friend will stay in a regular ward, that's settled!"Jessica still resisted, "Ryan..."Ryan cut her off

    After finally getting a weekend off from work, the first thing I did after finishing my part-time job was to mop the floor and do the laundry, just to see a smile on his face.If it weren't for Aunt Laura insisting, I would have been kicked out by him and his son long ago.If we talked about repaying kindness, I could honestly say that I didn't owe the Lynch family anything anymore.Now, it's just that I can't let go of Aunt.And now, he actually had the nerve to tell me that it's thanks to their Lin family that I can marry Ryan.I looked at Bradley and smirked, "You studied design because of me?"Bradley said, "Yeah, it's because of you. Your gifts on holidays were so expensive, and you always provided for the family, making me think that the design industry earns a lot. Otherwise, I wouldn't have chosen this crappy major.""Which university did you graduate from?""Jelaston College."It was short for Jelaston Vocational and Technical College.Seeing his familiar face resemb

    It was Ryan!Jack's dark eyes met his directly, one gentle as water, the other cold and stern.Instantly, I felt a tense atmosphere, as if they were not childhood friends but two people standing completely opposed to each other.Upon careful recollection, I realized that since Jack returned from abroad, both he and Ryan seemed different from their days on campus.Ryan misunderstood my relationship with Jack, but what about Jack? What was his reason?However, this was their business after all, and I shouldn't pry too deeply.Ryan strode over with his long legs, exuding a strong sense of oppression. He glanced at the coat draped over me with mockery. "So intimate.""Not as much as you guys," I replied coldly without thinking.Since yesterday's incident, every word he said and everything he did seemed to drain away the little remaining affection between us.In my mind, countless times I thought, if he had pulled me away at that moment, perhaps I wouldn't have lost the child. But

    "Sorry, I found out by accident too," he apologized gently, then explained the reason. It all started when Jane posted on Twitter about my hospitalization due to a car accident. He asked for the ward number, planning to visit me today. However, when he arrived at the hospital today, he overheard the nurses chatting about me. Not only was I injured all over, but I also had a miscarriage and unbelievably got discharged the same day.I pursed my lips slightly. "So you fought with him...""We were both upset," Jack said casually. He glossed over it lightly, then looked at me with gentle eyes. "And you, how have you been these days?""It's hard to say." I lowered my eyes. "When I used to love him, I looked forward to a happy marriage. Later, when I got pregnant, I hoped every day for the child to come into this world, to become my concern, my only family. But now..."I smiled bitterly. "I don't even know what else is worth remembering."Everything became meaningless. I placed my right

    "I want to explain."Westley embraced her, lowering his head to whisper, as though they were deeply in love."I won’t repeat the same mistakes again as before, and I won’t make the same mistake multiple times."Jordan shrank her neck, trying to avoid him.His warm breath brushed against her ear, it was ticklish.But she couldn’t break free from him, so she could only try to move away as much as possible."Let go of me first."Westley lowered his head and kissed her ear."Since you’re here, let’s finish what we started."Jordan was unwilling. "You handle your own problems, don’t drag me into your competition with other women."Westley stared at her for a moment, not loosening his arm but pulling her closer."She already holds a grudge against you. It’s safer for you to stay by my side. Oh, by the way, just so you know, she’s a princess."Jordan slapped the cream cake in her hand right onto his face.She couldn’t hide her emotions, anger clearly written on her face.She wan

    Jordan finally finished planting all the saplings and now all she had to do was wait for them to bloom.But she probably wouldn’t be able to see the flowers. She hoped the pear trees would grow wildly here."Mrs. Howard." Buck brought her a dress. "Mr. Howard said that there is a party tonight and would like to request your company."Jordan refused without hesitation.Buck added, "There’s also an auction, with many fun and interesting items. Don’t you want to buy gifts for your sister and little nephew?"Mentioning her sister and nephew made Jordan waver.Jane liked interesting things, and Jordan couldn’t easily go out on her own to gather them.And now, she had the opportunity.But she didn’t want to attend the event with Westley."Mrs. Howard, if I were you, I would go."Jordan ignored him. He was on Westley’s side.Buck’s mouth twitched, and he gritted his teeth, saying, "When Mr. Howard broke your heart, you should have asked for more money from him, to get revenge and s

    Carter had hit a wall at every turn.He had also been poked at his sore spot, and his long-established cold and distant persona was on the verge of crumbling."Forget about Zachary and the others, after all, they’re not very close. But how long have I known you? You won't help? I even helped you persuade Jordan."Westley didn’t fall for it. "As for you and Mandy, no one can help. I can’t bring her to Nelana now. You can try convincing Zachary, maybe there’s still a chance."Wasn’t that just stating the obvious?Carter said, "If I could get Zachary's help, would I be telling you all this?"Westley replied, "That’s your problem. Who told you to force her? Back then, she was just a young girl, barely an adult. It’s normal for her to be afraid of you and find you disgusting."A flash of sadness appeared in Carter's eyes."I was just too angry back then. It wasn’t intentional...""I’ve said that too." Westley put down the binoculars. "You saw my outcome. Obviously, it was useless."

    "Jane, don't argue with Zachary. This time, I am staying here voluntarily," said Jordan."I’ve made a bet with Westley, and there will be a resolution in the end."Jane nodded. "I can let you handle this matter yourself, but you have to promise me that you won’t let yourself get hurt, and you won’t just keep sacrificing yourself. If it becomes unbearable, give it up. I’ll always be here to support you."Jordan nodded. "Okay."The two sisters chatted for a long time, and only when Jane started to feel sleepy did they end the video call.Jordan handed the phone to Buck and closed the door to her room.Buck was left standing there.He felt like he had been completely abandoned, as if everything around him had fallen apart.Anyway, as a sandwich in the middle, he was already crushed, so it didn’t matter anymore.For several days, Jordan got up to eat, and the food was always food prepared by the chef.She hadn’t seen Westley around.She couldn’t really say how she felt. She just

    "He is faking his psychological illness," Jordan rebutted.Even if he had one, it had nothing to do with her.Even she didn’t have any psychological issues, how could someone with such a strong mind like Westley have any psychological issues?He shouldn’t blame her for everything.Having seen enough, she turned around and walked away.But Carter called her back. "He once took good care of you, and you're going to be this heartless?"Jordan wasn’t familiar with Carter. He was usually a man of few words with a cold personality.If she greeted him, he wouldn’t respond. If she talked too much, she might get an icy look in return.She really didn’t expect that one day, he would try to mediate between her and Westley."You should focus more on your own matters," she said.His own love life was a mess, so what right did he have to interfere in hers?Jordan’s emotions were written all over her face, she didn’t hide them.Carter could guess how she was feeling just by looking at her

    Jane didn’t care about Westley. Even if he was feeling it now, it was too late for regrets.If he hadn’t acted the way he did, Jordan wouldn’t have suffered so much.Moreover, he had once ignored her cries for help, so now he shouldn’t blame Jordan for his injuries.“How’s my sister?” she asked.Roy replied, “Don’t worry, Mrs. Collins, Ms. Hickey is doing fine. Except for the lack of freedom, there are no other restrictions.”“When can I have a video call with her?”Roy thought for a moment. “Since Mr. Howard is now delirious, I can make the arrangements.”“Thank you,” said Jane.“It’s no trouble, it’s my job.”After hanging up the phone, Jane looked at Zachary and asked, “What do you think?”Zachary moved the phone a little farther away to avoid radiation.After finishing the massage, he helped her lie down and said, “I’m thinking what you’re thinking.”Jane gave him a sidelong glance. “You’re slick.”Zachary smirked and bent down to kiss her forehead.“Get some rest.”

    "Mrs. Howard—"Buck watched helplessly as Jordan jumped into the sea.Before he could rush over, a figure was even faster than him."Sir!"Westley dived into the water, found Jordan, and dragged her to the shore.When Jordan was pulled onto the shore, she was still a bit dazed.Wasn't she just swimming? Why was there so much fuss?Buck gestured for people to bring a stretcher, lifted Westley onto it, and hurried back.Buck also called for the maids to help Jordan back.Jordan wiped her face, pushed the maid aside, and twisted the water out of her hair. "What happened?"Buck was anxious to check on Westley, but he couldn’t stop watching Jordan, worried she might jump into the sea again and trying to think of other ways to prevent it."Mr. Howard was saving you.""Why?" Jordan was confused. "I didn’t drown. What’s the need to save me?"Buck recalled what he had seen earlier. It seemed like... swimming?"Weren’t you... jumping into the sea?""Yes." Jordan didn’t notice Buck

    "Nathan, you should head back and deal with your own matters. Let's not interfere with Jordan's matters anymore."Nathan didn’t expect Jane to say this. He paused for a moment before speaking. "You know better than I do what Westley has done. How can we just ignore it? Jordan is still young and hasn’t experienced much in terms of relationships. She lacks experience, what if she falls again..."Jane knew what he was talking about and comforted him. "Don’t worry. Jordan may have experienced little in terms of relationships, but she’s not a foolish girl. She knows how to handle things."Nathan asked, "Is it because there’s something Westley knows?""No, it’s because we can't let Westley continue making a scene. This matter still needs to be handled by the person involved."Nathan didn’t say anything more and told Jane not to worry. When it was close to her delivery, he would come back.Jane agreed and hung up the phone.She threw the phone onto the counter and hugged Zachary from b

    Charlotte raised her hand and gently patted Jane’s shoulder."I understand, after all, she's your sister. But I think Jordan is very smart and capable, she can take care of herself. You can worry, but at the same time, take care of your own health. Then, when she comes back, you can love her properly."Jordan walked around the island.There was a helipad on the mountain with two helicopters.Out at sea, there was a large cruise ship docked.But she didn’t know how to pilot any of them, so there was no way to escape.In the end, she decided to just accept things as they were.If there was a problem, she would deal with it. If not, she’d wait."Mrs. Howard, Jasmine is looking for you."When Jordan returned to the villa, Buck handed her a phone.Hearing Jasmine’s name, she took it."Jasmine.""I'm relieved you're okay," said Jasmine, letting out a sigh of relief, then apologizing. "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have drunk so much.""It’s not your fault."Since Westley had a plan to
