Chapter 1249

Penulis: Lean
"What did she say?" Jane asked urgently.

"She said that she probably never really liked Westley. It was just that they had been together since childhood, and she mistakenly thought it was love."

Jane analyzed, "Jordan must have said that to not embarrass herself. She also didn’t want things to become too awkward with the Howard family. After all, they had always treated her well."

"You’re right," Zachary confirmed. "She only said those words after Westley refused to marry her. But because of that, Westley agreed to the marriage. After they got their marriage certificate, he immediately applied to work in another city and ignored her for three years."

Jane was baffled. "What kind of logic was that?"

"A messed-up kind," replied Zachary, recalling the things Westley had mumbled when he was drunk.

He had been too drunk, speaking in fragments with no clear explanation. If it hadn’t been the truth, Zachary wouldn’t have even bothered listening.

"According to him, since Jordan didn’t l

    "Well, after this, he should give up,""Why do you say that?" asked Jane.Zachary replied, "He stabbed himself this time. He paid for the wrongs he did to Jordan. And him going to find Jordan this time wasn't to pester her. He knew she hated him and wouldn't save him. This meant that he had repaid her for the fact that he had left her for dead. He won't look for Jordan again. He'll just wait until his body can't hold up anymore and leave."Jane felt conflicted for a moment. "Is he really at death's door, and there's no cure?"Zachary nodded. "Carter said there’s no cure, and if he says so, then no one else can cure him.""Then the Howard family won’t blame Jordan for causing Westley’s death, will they?" Jane was worried.Zachary gently patted her head to reassure her. "No, I suspect Jordan will take action. We’ll just wait and watch.""As long as Jordan is fine, I won’t interfere."Jordan had many things on her mind and couldn't sleep, tossing and turning all night.She got up

    Leanne asked, "Has Carter come by?""No, Mr. Greyson said that if Mrs. Howard doesn't say anything, he won't treat Mr. Howard."Leanne's expression darkened. "Then what did he say? How much longer does my cousin have?""If Mr. Howard continues like this, he’ll have less than a year to live."Leanne pursed her lips, glanced through the small window, then turned and left.Once Westley had made a decision, it was hard to change.Carter was merely acting according to his wishes.The Greyson family’s teachings stated that, unless absolutely necessary, patients should never be abandoned.Jordan returned to Jeswood.She had dinner with Jane.Jane only served her food, encouraging her to eat more, and didn’t bring up anything else.Jordan smiled at her, remaining mostly silent throughout the meal."After dinner, why don’t you go check out your new house?""If you want to be closer to me, the place across from me is available. Zachary can sell it to you at a low price.""How about

    Jordan held onto Jasmine’s arm. “Ever since I bought this place, I planned for you to live here with me. From the moment you came to Jeswood with me, I see you as my sister.”Jasmine pressed the elevator button. “Then I won’t stand on ceremony. This way, I can save some money and find a few more handsome guys.”Nathan had no opinion on this, and neither did Jane, so they decided not to meddle in matchmaking anymore.Jordan nodded. “Then get eight male models to serve you drinks.”Jasmine burst out laughing. “You’re so innocent. With eight male models, of course, there should be something more exciting.”Jordan immediately ended the topic to prevent it from going in the wrong direction.The red numbers on the elevator kept rising until they reached the top floor.Jasmine stepped out first and operated the electronic lock. “Come, register your fingerprint.”Jordan pressed her finger on the scanner, and with a beep, the door unlocked.Upon entering, there was a small foyer. After

    Jane shook her head. “I’m due. She won’t go back with you. Besides, if we bring it up, she’ll realize we’re worried about her and overthink things. Let’s just leave it as it is.”“But I’m afraid she’ll get sick.”A mental illness was not easy to cure.Nathan suggested, “I originally planned to keep my identity hidden and observe how Zachary and Westley treated you. I wanted to wait until your wedding with Zachary to announce it, just to teach members of the Collins family who look down on you a lesson. Should we just announce it now? This way, Jordan can have something else to focus on and distract herself.”He sighed as if remembering something. “Your mother also suffered from a mental illness. There was no cure.”Jane didn’t know about these things. There was no mention of it in the information Zachary had found out.“Why did our mother fall ill?”Nathan’s expression turned colder. “It was all because of grudges from the previous generation. It’s not the right time to tell you

    Jordan, Jasmine, and Charlotte had just finished lunch with Jane and were about to leave when they received a call—Jane was going into labor.They rushed back to the hospital and saw a crowd gathered in front of the delivery room.“Let go.”Jane was having contractions, her forehead covered in sweat. She gritted her teeth and tried to push Zachary away.Zachary held onto the mobile hospital bed tightly, pushing her toward the delivery room.He grasped the hand she was using to push him away.“You’re in premature labor. I can’t just wait outside. Let me in. If anything happens, I can respond immediately.”Jane looked toward Charlotte, silently pleading for help.Charlotte understood her feelings. When she had given birth, she hadn’t let Frank in either.“I’ll stay with her.”She shot Frank a look, signaling him to pull Zachary away. “I’ll be with her. Can you not be worried now?”“I’m going in myself.” Zachary still remembered how Frank had stood anxiously outside the deliver

    Seeing Jane in so much pain, Zachary turned to the doctor and asked, “Why is she still in so much pain after getting the epidural?”The doctor replied, “It seems Mrs. Collins is resistant to anesthesia...”“What do we do now?”“Mr. Collins, please don’t worry. Labor is a process.”Jane clenched Zachary’s hand tightly, her nails digging deep into his flesh.“Stop talking.”“Alright, alright, I won’t say a word.”Zachary wiped the sweat from her eyes and kissed her forehead gently. “I’ll listen to you.”The doctor said, “Mrs. Collins, I can see the baby’s head. Push one more time.”Jane took a deep breath and pushed with all her strength.A baby’s cry pierced the air. “Wah—”“It’s born!” A nurse quickly took over, handling the baby and placing it in an incubator.Jane finally relaxed and immediately passed out.Zachary panicked. “What’s happening? Doctor!”The doctor, sweating profusely, quickly reassured him, “She’s just exhausted. She’ll be fine after some rest.”Still a

    She had not even had time to stop it when Jasmine, driven by curiosity, asked the question.“Why?”Frank did not take his eyes off Charlotte and replied lazily, “Because I would get jealous. My wife would be liking another man.”Jasmine and Jordan quickly held hands and slipped away.It was so sweet that it was both enviable and overwhelming.Jane woke up in the evening.Zachary immediately called the doctor to check on her.“Don’t worry, Mr. Collins. Mrs. Collins is fine. She just needs proper rest and recovery.”After the doctor left, Jane asked Zachary, “Is it a boy or a girl?”“I don’t know.”Jane grabbed his hand and sat up, looking around the ward but not seeing the baby.“Where is the baby?”Afraid she would panic, Zachary quickly helped her lie back down. “In the incubator. The baby is fine. I’ll have someone bring them over right away so you can see.”The nurse soon brought the baby in.Jane had been excited and was looking forward to such a moment, but as soon a

    Miranda stood to the side, supported by Jonathan, her face pale as she watched people come and go, paying their respects to Westley.Zachary glanced at Westley’s portrait before shifting his gaze to the lavishly crafted coffin.He picked up a lily and casually placed it in front of the coffin with the others.He did not bow. He simply stood silently beside Jonathan.Among those bidding farewell, there were both friends and foes.The allies sighed over Westley’s untimely death.The enemies wanted to take action but abandoned the idea the moment they saw Zachary.Once the ceremony was over, Leanne held the portrait and led the way for Westley’s burial.By the time everything was settled, it was already night.In the end, only Zachary followed them back to the Howard family’s residence.It was then that Carter finally appeared.“I was busy today and couldn’t come earlier. I hope you can understand,” he said to Jonathan and Miranda.Zachary let out a cold chuckle. “And now you’

    "What are you doing?"Jordan was both angry and anxious, her face completely red.Westley smiled. "What do you think?""Stop messing around! We still need to go toast the guests.""Exactly." The man pinched the satin ribbon behind her back. "How can you wear the toasting dress if you don't take off the wedding dress?"The wedding dress was too heavy, and with him pressing on her, Jordan couldn't break free."You want to do it yourself, but you can’t."In the end, Jordan was stripped down to just her undergarments and was forcibly changed into the toasting dress.Seizing the right moment, she immediately broke free from Westley and opened the door, about to run out.Westley quickly grabbed her and carried her back. "Your makeup is ruined."‘Whose fault is it that my makeup is ruined?’Jordan stomped hard on his foot. "You’re so annoying!""Already annoyed right after the wedding?" Westley sat her down on the edge of the bed, opened the makeup bag, and took out a lipstick. "I

    Westley had someone distribute the wedding sweets. He carried Jordan into the hotel and delivered her to the bridal rest room.Jane and the others had already been waiting."So, what's up, Westley? As your sister-in-law, I took your big envelope, and I didn't make things difficult for you, did I?"What could Westley say? "Thank you, Jane.""Jordy's wedding shoes?"Jane and Charlotte each handed him one of the shoes.Westley crouched down and carefully put them on Jordan."I'm going to be busy up front, I'll wait for you."Jordan nodded. "Okay."After Westley left, Jane and Charlotte helped her change into the wedding dress.Whitney also helped.Caleb brought her to the wedding venue, and while they were waiting in the rest room, Jane explained to her.The reason they arrived here first was that everything had been arranged in advance, and it was intentionally done this way.She actually found it quite interesting."Whit." Jane patted her shoulder. "This is a good way to

    Even the foundation couldn't hide the pink flush spreading on her cheeks.Jordan knew she was rather introverted, and without Jane and Charlotte there to back her up, this felt like hell to her."Westley!""Yes!"Jordan was amused by him and forgot what she was about to say.Westley stepped forward, kneeling on one knee, preparing to go through the motions.Whitney quickly tried to stop him, but was pulled away by Caleb."This won't do..." She struggled, but couldn't fight against the man's strength.Only Jordan and Westley were left in the bedroom.The man kneeled beside the bed and handed her the bouquet. "Dear Mrs. Howard, please come home with me."Jordan took the bouquet, revealing her small feet from under the large skirt."I don't have shoes on."Westley asked, "How can I find your shoes?""You're asking me?""Yes.""Well, I can't tell you."Westley knew it wasn't going to be that easy.Even if Jane and Charlotte were kept busy, with their family status, how cou

    "They're here, they're here," Charlotte called out, urging Whitney to quickly close the bedroom door.Whitney said, "Jane hasn't come in yet.""If she's slower than Westley, it means she's caught up in something," replied Charlotte."But isn’t Zachary afraid of angering Jane by helping Westley like this?"Charlotte smiled. "This is a wedding. Blocking the door is just for fun. We won’t really make it hard for the groom to take the bride away."Whitney only then realized what they were doing. "Sorry.""It's fine, you've never had a wedding, so it's normal," Charlotte reassured her."So, what should I do now?"Charlotte said, "Just cooperate with me.""Don't be too formal, it's not a big deal."At that moment, Westley knocked on the door. "What does Mrs. Smith want? Feel free to name your price."Charlotte laughed. "Mr. Howard always reads people well and is full of schemes. Why don't you try guessing?"Frank had already come over, but he looked lazy and still had no energy.

    Westley seemed not to hear Zachary's words and asked him if his clothes were alright and whether his tie was crooked.Zachary couldn't be bothered to respond.Frank didn't even bother to lift his eyelids.At that moment, Caleb stepped forward and adjusted Westley's tie and collar, smiling faintly.Westley understood. "Carter will come to the wedding. I'm certain of it."Caleb then asked, "With the relationship between Mr. Greyson and Mr. Howard, why isn't he coming as a groomsman?""He doesn't get along well with my wife.""Because of Mandy?"Westley nodded. "Mandy and my wife were good friends during their teenage years."Actually, Jordan wasn't someone who held grudges, but he couldn't let anything go wrong at the wedding.Originally, it didn't matter whether Carter came or not.If it weren't for Caleb, he wouldn't have insisted on having Carter attend.Caleb understood.The sky gradually brightened.Whitney stood at the door, waiting for news from Jane.Suddenly, some

    Whitney nodded. "It's really delicious.""That's good." Jordan didn't know what else to say and quietly sipped her soup.Caleb placed some ham on Whitney’s plate. "If you like it, take some with you when you leave.""I'll arrange for it to be delivered to Yelar regularly in the future."Whitney really liked it, but she never overindulged.She was afraid that giving in to greed wouldn't be a good thing.After a pause, she asked, "Do you like it?"Caleb replied, "It's okay."Whitney said, "Then I can take some back, but no need to have someone deliver it regularly. If I eat too much, I won't find it as tasty anymore."Caleb nodded in agreement.During the meal, Jane went to the restroom, and Charlotte also stood up.Jordan quickly followed them.Whitney thought for a moment and decided to go too.Zachary waited for them to leave the private room and raised his tea cup toward Caleb.Since Jane was drinking, he decided not to drink."I think Whitney really enjoys hanging out

    She looked at Jane and the others, blinking. "Isn't that right, sisters?"Jane nodded. "That's right, it's a women’s gathering, no men allowed.""No men allowed again?" Westley gave a cryptic glance at the three men standing behind.Jordan followed Jane's lead.Charlotte had no objections.Whitney glanced at Caleb, but she had already told him that she'd be with Jordan for the next few days.In other words, she had informed him that she was joining Jordan's little group.She didn't say anything else.Caleb pulled at the corner of his lips, not saying anything.The manager didn't know what to make of the group of important figures standing in the front hall.After giving it some thought, he said, "We only have one private room, which Mr. Howard reserved first. Would you like to share a table, ladies?"Jane smiled. "So, when it rains, there's only one room, huh?"The manager glanced at Westley for guidance. "Our restaurant is reservation-based..."Jordan interrupted. "I made

    Frank put down his phone and said, "I'll just take this as a wedding gift for your sister and brother-in-law, for their upcoming wedding."Zachary didn't say anything. He had received a similar message from Westley.Meanwhile, someone on Caleb's side came to update him on Whitney's movements.He didn't have an issue with her shopping, but he wasn't exactly happy about it either.He had given Whitney a premium card, letting her buy whatever she liked.But she had never used it."Mr. Hilton..." One of his subordinates hesitated before speaking. "After shopping, Mrs. Hilton and Mrs. Collins... they went for... for a massage."Caleb received the news, and so did Zachary.There hadn't been any activity for half the day, so they probably went to a proper massage parlor."Got it."Jane and the others went for facial and oil massages.It was indeed a normal massage parlor.Even when they had gone to a bar before, they were just there to drink.The issue was with those men not trus

    Jordan hadn't decided yet. "Do you have any particular places you'd like to visit?"Jane said, "Then let's go shopping."She turned to Charlotte. "Can you walk?""I’m fine. If we get tired, we can find a place to sit and rest."Jane then looked at Whitney and asked if she wanted to go.Whitney nodded.The four girls made a quick decision and set off.Ross was eating an apple when he saw them coming out together. He immediately asked, "Mrs. Collins, where are you going? Do you need me to give you a lift?"Jane looked at the car behind him and noticed there were no other cars."Take us to the biggest shopping center.""Okay."The MPV was large, and with just Ross as the driver, it was more than enough for the four of them to sit comfortably."Ma’am, there are yogurts and snacks next to you, all your favorites."Jane glanced at it and said, "Remember to tell Zachary that it’s too late to apologize after making a mistake."Ross would only repeat the exact words to Zachary, an
