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

Ryan's sorry when he knows what he lost, but he made choices to disregard Charlotte and their child. He had so many chances, and he mucked it up.

    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.

    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

    A stock clerk pushed a shelf past us, interrupting our conversation. "Excuse me, just passing through."I pulled Jane back a bit before asking, "What were you saying just now?""Isn't she your father-in-law's biological daughter?" Jane looked spirited.I frowned. "I don't think so... She's two years older than Ryan."If she were having an affair, it wouldn't be this early, would it?"What's so implausible about it?" Jane dismissed my concern, excitedly sharing gossip about the wealthy. "In these wealthy families, it's messy. They have a wife at home and have several mistresses outside. Isn't that normal?""But..." I still felt something was off. "If Jessica really is his biological daughter, why wouldn't he tell Grandpa? Grandpa hates Jessica so much."He would definitely treat his own granddaughter differently.Jane thought about it and found it strange too. "You're right. If Jessica were really his daughter, wouldn't it be incestuous for him to let Ryan and Jessica be togethe

    Jane quickly glanced at me, a hint of ambiguity almost overflowing. I felt puzzled, but seeing Jack's calm demeanor, I was sure it wasn't what Jane was implying.Moreover, Jack had someone he liked, for over 20 years. How could he possibly have any feelings for someone like me who had just divorced?Jack refilled my drink. "No rush to decide, take your time.""Okay." I still felt a bit overwhelmed inside. After all, it was a brand I had admired for so many years, suddenly within reach, it felt like a dream.After dinner, Jane used the excuse of another appointment to ask Jack to drive me home. In the car, I said helplessly, "I'm bothering you again.""What bother? I'm just being soft-hearted and lending a hand." Jack teased with a smile.I chuckled softly. "You didn't even let me pay for the meal, th...".Before I finished, he pretended to answer a phone call and went to pay the bill.His long, slender fingers rested on the steering wheel, exuding a natural elegance.

    Charlotte patted her head. "First, make a video call to that little girl." Jane quickly found her phone and opened the landlord's WhatsApp. As soon as the call connected, the little girl appeared on screen, her eyes red. Tears were still visible on her face. The landlord was sitting next to her, waiting, not having gone to sleep. Jane apologized, "Sorry to disturb your rest." "Don't say that." The landlord gently patted her daughter's head. "I'm just happy you're alright." Jane smiled at the little girl. "Thanks to Celine, I'm fine." The little girl leaned closer to the screen. "Jane, you're lying. Your lips are swollen." Jane cleared her throat. "I ate something spicy earlier." She quickly added to prevent the little girl from saying anything else, "Alright, go to sleep now. We'll talk more when you get out of school. Jane went through a lot today, and she's tired too." The little girl, very understanding, handed the phone to her mother and went to bed

    The captain laughed. "Don't think that just because we're from abroad, we don't understand anything.""Young lady, if you want to buy some time, then I'll play along with you. But if you're hoping for someone to rescue you, I advise you to give up on that thought. This is the border. Domestic ships can't get through here."Well, you don't know Frank.There's no one who can stop him from going where he wants to go.Jane tried her best to suppress her fear. "Sir, I have all kinds of tricks. If I can make you guys happy, can you spare my life?"She reached out, grabbed the captain's belt, and moved closer."As long as you don't kill me, you'll be my savior. I'll be yours from now on and let you have your fun with me. Is that okay?"Although Jane hadn't dressed herself up recently.But her facial features were stunning. Those fox-like eyes with a smile in them were even more alluring.The captain kept swallowing saliva. Apparently, he was attracted.However, they had already rece

    They were anxious, not just because of the situation, but because they feared Zachary would go mad and go abroad with Jane. Frank glanced at their expressions and immediately understood that they were aware of Lexi's plan to send Jane abroad. "I suggest that while Zachary is looking for Jane, you should take care of the Sanchez family's matters. Otherwise, when Zachary comes back, there will be hell to pay." Jane ate the meal the waiter brought and then felt drowsy. She fell into a light sleep, and when she opened her eyes again, it was already half past nine. She remembered the things she had told the little girl before leaving and quickly grabbed her phone to call. But just then, the door was suddenly kicked open. Several adult men stormed in and grabbed her, dragging her outside. "What are you doing?" They had originally planned to reach the border, but unexpectedly, a violent storm had forced a slight course change. This delay allowed the effects of th

    Lexi said, "The plane will leave traces. By then, Zachary will find you. The ship will change at the border and private sea areas. Once she changes ships, it will be hard to track." Jane remembered when Jack had taken Charlotte away before. She felt a sense of unease. After all, Lexi wasn't someone she could fully trust. "I didn't expect you to be so timid." Lexi noticed Jane's worry. "I thought someone with your background, who dared to pursue someone as different as Zachary, and even date him, would have extraordinary courage." But wasn't Jane regretting it now? Otherwise, why would she be running away? She decided not to care anymore. With a firm heart, she boarded the ship. Lexi smiled in satisfaction, but then a cold glint appeared in her eyes as she spoke to the captain. "When we reach the border, throw her into the sea and feed her to the sharks." No matter where she went, as long as Zachary wanted to find her, it was just a matter of time.

    Lexi was so angry that she wanted to smash something. She got up and walked away, with each step of her high heels hitting the ground, the sound echoing her immense fury. The more difficult it was to conquer, the more determined she became to conquer it! Zachary went directly back to the Collins family home. The Collins family members were somewhat uneasy. When they saw him come back alone, they were both shocked and suspicious. "Did Lexi not come back with you?" asked Rebecca. Zachary did not respond and walked upstairs with long strides. Rebecca, along with Sir Collins and Madam Collins, exchanged gazes, all feeling something was off. It was strange that Zachary had actually returned to the Collins family. "Sean." Rebecca saw someone else entering behind him and immediately asked, "Did you follow him the whole time? Did you notice anything unusual?" Sean bent slightly, his face carrying a polite smile as he respectfully replied, "No abnormalities w

    The situation between Zachary and Jane's relationship had not been made public. It was normal for the employees at the company not to know about it. Zachary did not answer when people congratulated him, and Lexi stood silently by his side, not saying anything either. But to those around them, their actions were as good as an admission.Some people even offered their congratulations, but Zachary didn't acknowledge them. He didn't go upstairs. Instead, he turned and left the building. This time, he didn't even get into Lexi's car. The smell inside the car was too overwhelming, making him dizzy.Lexi followed him, and they entered a nearby cafe. He didn't go straight to Jane's place, but Lexi knew that was just a way of hiding his true intentions. However, she wasn't concerned. After all, the Collins family would never approve of him being with Jane. She just needed to give him a bit of time to play along."Mr. Collins, aren't you going to consider my suggestion?" Lexi asked with a sli

    The shock from the Collins family was too much for her. She wouldn't take the initiative, nor would she have the courage to continue with him.So what other way did he have?He'd tried both soft and hard tactics, yet this situation was still more complicated than advanced mathematics.The next day.Lexi invited Zachary out.But the Collins family hesitated.Rebecca said, "Why don't you two spend some more time getting to know each other at home first?"Lexi smiled. "Mrs. Collins, I know what you're worried about, but that woman is no longer in Jeswood."Rebecca was aware of this.After all, they had been keeping an eye on Jane's movements. They even knew where she was staying.It was surprising that Lexi had just returned a day ago, yet she had already figured it out.This kind of method and family background was exactly what the Collins family needed.It was also what Zachary needed."I've erased all traces. Even if he wants to find her today, he won't be able to, and it

    The landlord nodded understandingly. "You young people do have a lot of new ideas."They chatted casually and soon reached the large square.The stage had already been set up.They had arrived early, but there were already a lot of people gathered.Jane commented, "It's quite formal."The landlord proudly replied, "This isn't just a community event, there are even celebrities."Jane became a little curious and wanted to see what celebrities were here.It turned out to be an R-list boy band, along with a few elderly artists.Well, it was still a big stage.She watched for a while, but soon lost interest. She made an excuse to go to the bathroom.Under the cover of night, she wandered around.She spotted a small shop and bought a bag of cheese-flavored chips to eat.This kind of life, she thought, couldn't last long. She hoped Zachary would hurry up and get married, so he would stop bothering her."Jane..." Jane was lost in thought when the voice startled her, almost caus

    "Stop dreaming."Lexi, despite her feelings for Zachary, couldn't suppress her anger anymore."You want to marry that woman? That's nothing but wishful thinking."Zachary's gaze was icy, and every word he spoke, from his thin lips, carried a chilling frost."Her name is Jane."Lexi, at this point in her life, had never met a man who not only showed no interest in her but also repeatedly poked at her vulnerabilities."The more you protect her, the more dangerous she becomes. My offer won't change. You'll come to me eventually."With that, she turned, her heels clicking sharply as she walked toward the door."Excuse me, open the door."Sean opened the door.Lexi held her head high as she walked downstairs.Sean was about to close the door when Zachary threw the food outside.He even "thoughtfully" closed the door after that.When Rebecca saw the untouched food that Sean had brought down, she couldn't help but feel some pity."Not eating yet?"She had just praised Lexi for
