Chapter 132

Author: Lean
Feeling like it wasn’t enough, I smiled and said, "Ryan, when I had the miscarriage, you were with someone else. When I came out of the operating room, you slapped me hard and asked me why I didn't stop her, because I was pregnant too... I was afraid of getting hurt... I didn't dare! Are you satisfied with this answer now?"

"Charlotte..."

This was the first time I had seen such a bewildered expression on his face. He reached out as if to hold my hand.

Unexpectedly, a pair of hands intercepted him first!

Suddenly, Jack returned, his gentleness tinged with sharpness. "Are you here to settle the score for Jessica? This is my doing, it has nothing to do with Charlotte."

In an instant, Ryan regained his usual cold demeanor, sneering. "As for your debts, there's plenty of time. No need to rush to offer your head."

"I know Ryan's methods," I couldn't help but speak up. "Jack was helping me. There's no need to shift blame onto him. If you want to defend your loved one, just come at me."

    On the way to the hospital, I slumped in the passenger seat, half-conscious. I kept thinking about Ryan's pained and desolate expression before I left. I felt like someone was stabbing it and it hurt.But after that outburst, the pain in my chest did ease considerably!Yes, it was true that we lost our child together.Why should I suffer alone?He should suffer too, together with me.Jack controlled the steering wheel with one hand, reaching out to touch my forehead with a worried expression. "You're running quite a high fever.""It's okay, just caught a chill, a few shots and I'll be fine."I shook my head nonchalantly.Anyway, there was no child in my belly anymore. Catching a cold and having a fever, I just needed some medicine and injections.The MS Group was the closest to the St. Heart Hospital. Jack was afraid of wasting time and chose the closest hospital, and I didn't care about that either. In such a large hospital, as long as there was no deliberate intent, no one c

    The doctor behind the hospital director inquired about my condition, skipped the step of drawing blood and directly prescribed medication. He instructed a nurse to fetch it and started an IV drip for me.When the needle was inserted, I instinctively felt afraid and involuntarily pulled back my hand. Suddenly, a pair of cool hands covered my eyes gently. "Don't be afraid, the needle's already in," a soothing voice said.My heart settled slightly. Just as I relaxed, the needle pierced into my vein.Those hands withdrew, and I helplessly looked up at Jack. "Jack, you’ve learned to lie as well?""A well-intentioned lie." He chuckled softly.After the nurse helped me lie down on the bed, she also applied a cooling patch to bring down my fever. The dean and his group left soon after.The patch felt ice-cold and instantly made me feel much more comfortable.Jack sat beside the sickroom, gesturing outside. His expression was gentle, with a hint of hesitation as he spoke carefully, "Di

    I reached out in the darkness to turn on the light, glancing towards the direction of the door. It was closed shut.It wasn't Jane.Jane had stayed with me at the hospital tonight, afraid that it might affect my sleep and delay my recovery. She insisted on sleeping on the sofa in the living room, but also worried that if I felt uncomfortable and called out for her, she wouldn't hear me, so the door remained half open.Now, obviously, someone had come in.Was it him...?I didn't know.But it didn't matter anymore.The next day, after a good night's sleep, I felt much better.The nurse brought a breakfast for two, along with fruits and bird's nest, a lavish spread.Jane clicked her tongue. "Your hospital is quite generous."The nurse smiled, "To help patients recover faster. However, the nutritional plan for Mrs. Frost was personally tailored by the hospital director."After saying this, she checked my temperature and other vitals, "Mrs. Frost, you still have a slight fever. P

    My spirits lifted, and I pressed on. "Please don't hold back because of this. The divorce is between him and me. But Grandfather has always been so good to me, I don't want him to leave with unanswered questions."Offering him this reassurance, Albert finally made up his mind to speak. He took out a transparent sealed bag from his pocket, containing only a small pill.And this pill, I was intimately familiar with.It was the emergency medicine Grandfather always carried in his pocket.Albert said, "This was found a few days ago by the servants while cleaning Mr. William's study, under the carpet on his desk."I took it and examined it closely, a chill running down my spine. The air in Jelaston isn't particularly dry, so if the pill had fallen on the ground a while ago, it should have been somewhat damp. But there was no trace of moisture on this pill inside the bag.My voice tightened involuntarily. "When was the last major cleaning at the old mansion?""It happened the day befo

    Albert suppressed his anger, glanced at her, and snorted!"Mr. William has only been gone a few days. As a junior, have you already forgotten what he said on his deathbed? Only Charlotte can be Mrs. Frost!""You, who are so unfilial, think you deserve to enter the Frost family?!"Albert seized the opportunity to spit out at her! Then he looked at me and respectfully said, "Mrs. Frost, I'll take my leave first. You should go inside quickly, lest some riffraff cause trouble and harm you!"With that, he led the servants and departed with a demeanor reminiscent of when Grandfather was still alive."What nonsense, who's causing trouble!"Jessica was left dumbfounded by Albert's outburst, sneering repeatedly. She glared at me. "From the oldest to the youngest in the Frost family, even a servant has been misled by you with aphrodisiacs?!""Could it be because you're just too unlikeable?" I retorted.She gnashed her teeth in anger. Jane suddenly walked out, her red lips curling provoca

    I didn't expect Bob to stoop so low. I furrowed my brow. "Does your uncle know the PIN?""I... I'm afraid I won't remember the PIN myself..."Aunt Laura's face was full of regret. "It's the same PIN as our shared bank card."Both Jane and I were helpless.Bob was an old hand at cheating and stealing money. Once he gets hold of the bank card, he'll definitely transfer the money right away. There's no time to report it lost at the bank now.However, more than this, I was concerned about another issue. "Has your uncle started gambling again?""Yeah..."Aunt Laura wiped her tears and gritted her teeth. "Actually, he hasn't quit all these years, so I didn't dare let him know how much money you give me every month. I never thought this old bastard would dare snatch even the money that saved my life!""Why don't you just divorce him then? Gambling is a bottomless abyss!" Jane was getting angry and couldn't help but say."This time..."Aunt Laura looked up at me with guilt. "I will d

    I sat up and reached out to flip the switch on the bedside, suddenly brightening the room. Unexpectedly, I saw him in a rare disheveled state.The usually elegant and noble man had stubble on his chin, and there were dark circles under his eyes, as if he hadn't slept for days, radiating weariness.What trouble had occurred in the Frost family to keep him this busy?I frowned lightly. "Instead of coming here to see me, you should get some rest yourself."He hooked his index finger around his tie knot, pulling it down slightly. A bitter curve formed on his lips. "I understand now, the pain you felt when you lost the child."I clenched my fists, mocking him with a smirk. "Ryan, I don't need your empathy. Just remember every moment that your first child was killed by your own hands, that's enough."Pain flashed through his pitch-black eyes, and his thin lips twitched slightly. His voice was hoarse. "Do you... hate me that much?""Yes!" I admitted frankly. "I hate both you and Jessic

    Jane had a strong desire to shop and kept dragging me around. She said she had finally resigned and wanted to treat herself after working like an ox and horse for four years."Look, isn't that the bitch?" When we passed by a luxury goods counter, she suddenly pointed inside.I glanced involuntarily. "It's her."She was holding a purse worth hundreds of thousands, comparing it on herself, presumably planning to buy it.Ryan was always generous towards her.I wasn't interested in watching further and pulled Jane to leave. Jane squinted her eyes and grabbed me, hiding us behind a pillar!I didn't understand what she was doing, so I looked at her with a puzzled expression.She exclaimed, "Your father-in-law!""My father-in-law?""It's your father-in-law shopping with that bitch!" Jane had a face as if she had just discovered something shocking."Isn't this normal?" I smiled. "She has always been my father-in-law's favorite."Even Ryan couldn't get a bit of paternal love, all of

    "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
