I immediately realized something. “By the way, how is your wound healing? I’ve been staying with Grandma these past few days and haven’t had a chance to visit you.”Feeling a bit embarrassed, I noted that he had been injured for my sake, and yet I hadn’t even visited him.“It’s just a minor injury, nothing serious.”Jack seemed to sense that I might feel guilty and downplayed it. “It should be mostly healed in a while. Grandma’s condition is the real issue. By the way, how is she?”My expression grew slightly somber. “We’ve managed to delay the onset of the poison for now, but I don’t know if we can wait for the antidote to be developed.”“Developing an antidote?” Jack looked surprised. “Wasn’t the antidote with that K last time? With Frank’s methods, he should be able to deal with him.”“Jack, are you here at the hospital to change the dressing, or are you here specifically to check on Charlotte?” Jane changed the subject with a smile and teased, “Speaking of which, Charlotte is

It was unlikely for me to get pregnant after only one time.By the time I arrived at the company and finished the meeting, it was almost evening. I had come with Jane’s ride. I was getting ready to take a cab back to the hospital.Jane offered to give me a ride, and I gave her a sidelong glance, teasing, “I saw you messaging Zachary during the meeting. It’s better not to let me delay your… progress.”Jane smiled brightly. “Oh, have you learned to spy on screens now?”“Just a coincidence, just a coincidence.” I gave a shy smile.She had been sitting at my lower left during the meeting, leaning sideways against the table to reply to messages, so it was impossible not to see.As I was speaking, my phone rang—it was Frank.“Finished with the meeting?”His lazy and casual voice came from the other end of the phone, and I couldn’t help but smile, “Yes, just finished. I’m planning to go back to the hospital to see Grandma, then head home.”After several rounds of acupuncture from Dr.

His clear voice carried an unusual seriousness. When I met his dark brown eyes, filled with almost drowning affection, I even forgot to breathe.My heartbeat missed a beat. I really wanted to nod and agree, unable to bring myself to say anything to reject him. But I wasn’t in my early twenties anymore. After a few moments of breathing, reason eventually prevailed.I gently pursed my lip. “I want to wait… until the current matters are settled.”Seeing the disappointment flicker in his eyes, I was afraid he might misunderstand, so I couldn’t help but explain, “These issues are like ticking time bombs. Whether it’s Lucas, Bethany, Simone, or K and the person behind him, if we have a child now, our concerns and their opportunities will just increase. Frank, I also hope we can have a child soon. I believe we will work hard to be great parents.”“But not right now.”“Charlotte.” Frank’s lips suddenly curved into a smile. “Do you feel like your words make you sound like a terrible pers

When we got home, Julie had just prepared a delicious and aromatic dinner. Knowing that Grandma was coming back with us, Julie had even made a medicinal meal to help with Grandma's recovery.The meal was extremely pleasant.However, I couldn’t shake the feeling that Grandma seemed a bit troubled. She kept serving me food, as if she wanted to show her care for me with all her strength.Later on, Grandma urged Frank to take a shower. Frank noticed that Grandma wanted to speak with me privately and cooperated willingly.“Charlotte, come in with Grandma.”While Julie was still tidying up the dining area, Grandma called me into her room.I suspected that she had something important to discuss with me and felt very uneasy. “Grandma, you…”“Take this and keep it safe.”Before I could finish, Grandma took out a brown paper bag from her purse and handed it to me.I panicked. “Grandma, I can’t accept this!”Grandma smiled in relief. “Do you know what it is?”“Well…” I pursed my lips.

Before I could finish speaking, Grandma continued, “My little Lily has grown up and wants to support Grandma, right?”I pursed my lips. “But I still haven’t been able to do anything for you. Even the antidote, we don’t know when it will be available.”“What’s there to be afraid of?”Grandma was much more open-minded than I was and sighed, “I’ve been thinking about your grandfather for a long time. If it weren’t for the Shaw family, I would have gone to join him long ago.”“It’s just that you have to work hard to hold up this mess of the Shaw family. Grandma doesn’t want you involved, but there’s no other way.”“I know, I know…”Hearing Grandma’s tone as if she was arranging her final affairs, tears streamed down my face. I clung to her, crying and choking up, “When I was little, I envied other kids who had grandparents. Now that I finally have you, I don’t want you to leave me. I don’t want to lose you.”At that moment, I understood the burden Frank carried on his shoulders.Th

“You’ve already showered…”I heard the hidden meaning in Frank's words and pretended to be oblivious to tease him, “Put me down.”“No.” Frank looked down. He had a mischievous grin on his lips as he kicked open the bathroom door. Hot water and kisses came down together, stealing my breath away. Later, he played around until I could barely stand. He simply supported me by my thighs and held me at his waist. I thought the bath would be like before, lasting until midnight, but instead, after just one round, I was wrapped in a towel and carried to bed.Feeling a bit embarrassed, I pulled the blanket over myself, leaving only my eyes visible as I looked at Frank.Frank met my gaze and chuckled. “You’d better not say those two words.”I huffed, “How do you know what I’m about to say?”“I know perfectly well.”Frank leaned closer, gently brushing his nose against mine, and drawled, “That’s because I’m your husband—”He dragged out the last word on purpose. My face heated up wi

I turned around and leaned into his arms, nodding slightly. I looked up at him and muttered, “You’ll get what you want soon enough.”He cocked his brows playfully. “If we can’t get what we want, we’ll do everything to make it happen.”“Pervert.” I laughed. He dropped his casual demeanor, gently patting my back with a comforting tone. “I’ll go with you for the check-up tomorrow.”“I was planning to buy a pregnancy test kit in a few days…”He whispered, “But I can’t wait.”I could sense Frank’s eagerness for this child, and I was excited too. Having a child connected by blood with someone I love. If it weren’t for all the troubles at hand…But since the heavens had given us a gift, I would choose to accept it.“Okay.”The next morning, the first thing I did after getting up and washing was to go see Grandma. I didn’t expect that Frank had already come back from walking with her. “Up so early?”I couldn’t tell if he was praising me or subtly implying I could sleep more. I s

The gauze was completely soaked. It wasn’t just a little soaked. It had been soaked in water. The wound was serious, but Jack had been careless!The nurse, with a stern expression, wanted to give a serious reminder, but when she saw Jack's gentle face, she smiled helplessly and said, "Mr. Renolds, this wound needs a lot of care. It mustn't come into contact with water again, or it will be troublesome if it gets infected.""Alright, thank you," Jack responded with a smile. He then suddenly seemed to remember something, asking casually, "By the way, I just passed by the second floor and noticed quite a few bodyguards near the gynecology department. Is something happening?"He had just seen Charlotte's back and tried to approach, but was blocked by Frank's people."There's nothing wrong." The nurse's face showed a trace of jealousy. "I heard that Mr. Smith is bringing his fiancee for a check-up. He really treasures this fiancee, and the bodyguards might be to guard against any trouble

“Let’s go back to the the Howard family’s residence.”“It’s too late, I don’t want to disturb them.”Jordan gritted her teeth. “Then let’s go to your house. It’s so big, we can each take a room and not disturb each other.”Westley calmly took a sip of tea. “It’s not very convenient.”Jordan’s temper flared. “Let’s just stay in a hotel!”Westley replied, “There are too many people watching me in Nelana. I don’t want to be misunderstood.”Jane and Charlotte exchanged a look.They both understood each other’s thoughts.Before, they had thought Westley was calculating and manipulative.He had always been clever at using tricks to handle Jordan.Now, they realized it wasn’t just that.This man had a thick skin—he could say anything without blinking.But they didn’t fully understand Westley’s intentions.He clearly had the chance to spend time alone with Jordan, perhaps to explain some things and clear the air.Yet he kept refusing.If he felt it was inconvenient, if he didn’t

At that moment, someone under Westley came to report.“Mrs. Smith and Mrs. Howard flew to Jeswood. They’re likely going back to celebrate Mr. Collins and Mrs. Collins’ wedding.”Westley immediately booked a flight as well.When Jordan saw Jane, she started venting her frustrations.As she spoke, her voice gradually faded, and she apologized, “I’m sorry. It’s your big day, and here I am talking about this.”Jane poured her a cup of tea. “It’s alright, I understand. I invited you to celebrate, which is sudden of me, considering you’re in the middle of a divorce.”Jordan shook her head. “I could use the good vibes. Hopefully, it’ll help me get the divorce finalized smoothly.”Zachary and Frank exchanged glances, wisely choosing not to get involved in the conversation.What they didn’t expect was for Westley to show up at such a critical moment.He even handed Zachary a gift. “Congratulations.”Zachary instinctively looked at Jane and saw her smiling faintly. His scalp tingled wi

Zachary had already planned for today.He didn’t take Westley’s words to heart.He assumed Frank would explain things to Charlotte.Who knew Charlotte actually accompanied Jordan to Nelana?“It’s not that, it’s just a coincidence.”Jane chatted with Charlotte and asked about Jordan’s situation.Charlotte said, “Westley didn’t show up, so the young girl is very angry right now. I’m taking her to get some photos taken.”“Then after you’re done, come back. How can I celebrate without you here?”Nelana and Jeswood weren’t far from each other. Charlotte checked the time and agreed.“If you’re hungry, just eat something first. Don’t keep waiting. Once I’m on the plane, I’ll let you know. You can roughly estimate the timing.”“Alright!”Jane hung up the phone and looped her arm around Zachary’s. “I want to eat a strawberry cake.”Zachary helped her into the car and instructed Ross to drive to a cake shop.He got out of the car himself to buy it.As Jane ate, she asked, “So if We

“I don’t care! I must go back and put on some makeup!” Jane declared.Ross, who would rather face Zachary’s wrath than make Jane unhappy, immediately prepared to turn the car around.But Zachary stopped him. “Keep driving.”He gently patted Jane’s back to calm her down.“I know you’re excited about getting the certificate, but don’t get so worked up—think about the baby.”Was that what he thought this was about?Jane grabbed Zachary’s ear. “Are you getting old and becoming deaf? I said turn the car around! If you keep pretending not to hear me, don’t even think about me taking a photo with you to get the certificate when we get there!”In the end, Zachary had no choice but to compromise.Jane hadn’t done her makeup in a while. With the sudden pregnancy, she hadn’t had the time to prepare maternity-safe cosmetics.So they went to the mall, where she bought what she needed and applied a full, flawless makeup look.Feeling beautiful and confident, she finally went to the Civil A

Jordan planned to return to Nelana right after breakfast.Yasmin tried to persuade her to stay a few more days.But she was eager to return and finalize her divorce.Charlotte decided to accompany her since she hadn’t had the chance to visit Dominic and look at the finished products after Jane’s recent accident.Frank wanted to tag along, but Charlotte stopped him. “You stay here and handle things.”Frank sneered. “You’re just tired of me and keep coming up with reasons to stay apart.”Charlotte had been hearing this from him a lot lately and was immune to it by now.She patted his shoulder, linked arms with Jordan, and walked away.Frank was rendered speechless‘Fine.’Westley had never drunk so much alcohol before.Although he wasn’t completely wasted, there were still some things he remembered clearly.However, his headache was intense.Buck brought him some water, asked about his schedule, and reported on the events of the night before.Westley paused while drinking t

She could say nothing more.Moreover, even if she said something, it would be useless.Zachary achieved his goal and turned to leave.After the door to the ward closed, Rebecca picked up a piece of yellowing apple to eat.The old lady of the Collins family sighed, “We didn’t raise him in vain.”Rebecca wiped away tears, she still couldn’t bring herself to like Jane.But Zachary was her only son. At this point, there was nothing she could do to stop him.She could only look the other way and let it go.She said to Eric, “Jeswood is too cold. Take me to Clisfield. This is what you’ve promised me.”Spring had already arrived in Jeswood, it wasn’t cold at all.But Eric still immediately arranged for tickets to be booked.There were still several months before Zachary and Jane’s wedding.In the meantime, she could relax and gradually come to terms with things as time passed.Eric looked at the elderly couple. “Mom, Dad, come with us. The weather there is warm year-round.”Zach

If this were Jane, just a single cough would send him into a panic.Rebecca felt that Zachary now cared more about Jane than her.“Even if Jasper isn’t her biological father, how can you be so sure her real parents are good people? What if...”Zachary finished slicing the apple into small pieces, placed them on a plate, and handed it to his mother.His tone was unhurried. “I can accept anything. As I said before—I will marry no one but her.”Rebecca didn’t take the plate, so Zachary set it aside.The apple, left untouched, began to oxidize and turn brown.Zachary lightly tapped the apple with the fruit knife and said, “There are more than one path in front of me.”Rebecca opened her mouth to speak, but Zachary interrupted her.He pulled out a photo and handed it to her.“The Collins family doesn’t only have me for the official route. There is a sister who can take my place.”Rebecca was stunned. “What sister?”Zachary produced a document. “A recently acknowledged goddaughte

“I forgive you, I forgive you.” Jane ruffled his hair. “Such juicy gossip is worth forgiving. But I’m warning you, don’t try to trick me again next time.”Zachary raised his hand. “I promise.”Jane was satisfied. She ate her fill, felt sleepy, and went to bed.Zachary tucked her in carefully and planted a kiss on her forehead.“I’m heading to the hospital.”“Okay.”At midnight, Raymond released the results of the paternity test.Originally, not many people were paying attention to Jasper’s situation anymore.After all, so much happens every day, and with Zachary’s maneuvering, the buzz had already died down.But as soon as the paternity test result was revealed, it caused an uproar.“I knew it. With the way he was behaving, how could the child be his? And yet, he dared to make such a fuss.”“All those people defending Jasper should apologize!”“Unbelievable. This scum is still alive and even dared to go online to play the victim. If I ever see him, I’ll make sure to give hi

Jane felt that Zachary had too many tricks up his sleeve.Moreover, she felt that it was better not to fully trust men.There was no such thing as absolute honesty.Even she couldn’t achieve that herself.Jane leaned back against the sofa, looking into his eyes.Her stare made Zachary feel a chill down his spine. He cleared his throat and asked, “Why are you looking at me like that?”Jane gave a sarcastic smile.Zachary was rendered speechless.He tactically glanced at his watch and asked, “Are you sleepy?”“Nope.”“Hungry?”“Nope.”Jane raised her hand and patted his face. “Playing tricks on me?”This feeling was like looking at himself.For a moment, Zachary didn’t know how to react.The corners of his lips twitched slightly as he said, “I’m just trying to discuss things with you.”“Oh, okay.” Jane nodded. “I believe you.”He realized he was wrong—he shouldn’t have tried to help Westley.Zachary hugged her, trying to appease her. “He deserves it. From now on, I won’
