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.

    “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

    "If it's a daughter, then you…""Haha." Frank let out a short laugh, the corners of his lips curving slightly.But there was no smile in his eyes. "I've noticed that you've become quite spoiled by affection."Hearing his lazy tone, I knew he wasn't really angry.I rubbed my chin against him and told him about the conversation with Jack.Frank tried to maintain his smile. "What do you mean? You want me to send my wife to meet someone who has ill intentions toward her?""Please?" I used my trump card and acted coquettishly. "You have to protect me and the baby, right?"Frank grunted through his nose and then put me back into the car."Wait…" I hurriedly spoke up. "I want to let Grandma know first."Grandma would definitely be very happy to hear about my pregnancy.Frank picked me up again and strode upstairs.I felt that his swift actions were hinting that I shouldn't meet Jack.But Jack mentioned something about Grandma's health, and I couldn't ignore it.At present, Grandm

    The meeting location was sent to my phone by Jack.It was a tranquil and serene tea house.Frank and I walked in together. "Jack."Jack turned around, and when he saw Frank, something flickered in his eyes, and he almost couldn't keep his emotions in check.His gaze briefly swept over my abdomen, and he gave his usual gentle smile. "Charlotte, didn't I ask you to come alone?"For some reason, I felt that something was different, but my subconscious trust in him made me not think too much about it. I smiled and explained, "Jack, Frank doesn't feel at ease letting me go out alone…"Frank held me close and looked at Jack. His brown eyes instantly turned icy, and with a tense tone, he interrupted. "I think the injury in your arm might have damaged the basal ganglia."I was momentarily stunned, then realized what he meant.The basal ganglia were involved in controlling the smoothness and rhythm of speech.Frank was essentially saying that Jack had a big mouth but couldn't speak pro

    The actions were swift and seamless.It was only then that I realized Frank's skills were quite impressive.Jack was kicked far away, sending a table full of teacups crashing down.A waiter approached, and Alan immediately stepped forward to handle the payment."Do you think my girlfriend is someone you can just push around?"I was in Frank's arms, recovering from the shock, and noticed his intense anger.He had always disliked Jack, and now that Jack had dropped his facade, Frank was naturally furious."What do I want?" Jack slowly got up from the floor, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and suddenly laughed. It was a self-deprecating laugh. The atmosphere around him turned dark and oppressive, but he didn't answer Frank's question. Instead, he focused solely on me. "Charlotte, consider what I said.""Frank…" His sudden change of demeanor left me still trembling, my heart pounding. I took a deep breath and looked at Frank. "I want to go home.""Alright."Frank he

    Frank couldn't be bothered to argue with someone like Jack. If it weren't for the sake of the child, he wouldn't want to get his hands dirty with more blood.Now that the antidote was in hand, he never expected that one day he would believe in god.It was all for the child and for Charlotte's lifetime of peace and happiness.Her early life had been too harsh."Even without your antidote, I wouldn't let Grandma come to harm. Put away your filthy thoughts. If you keep trying to harm my wife, I'll make sure you won’t be a man anymore."Jack knew Frank's methods well.Besides Charlotte, no one could tame this lion that bites its prey and never lets go.But Jack wasn't intimidated easily.Covered in mud, Charlotte was his only light. He would never let go. He also… couldn't bear to let go."You won't have a solution. Even if you find someone to develop an antidote, Madam Shaw won't be able to wait that long. Moreover, you can't possibly develop one yourself. The antidote I have is

    "Not necessarily." Frank remained calm and composed. "I've already instructed someone to look into it. We should be able to confirm things by tonight."When we returned to Region Gardens, we happened to run into Dr. Travis, who was there to give Grandma acupuncture.But before I could greet him, Julie ran out, looking flustered."Madam Shaw has collapsed."I quickly ran to the room and threw myself beside Grandma, seeing her bluish lips. Tears instantly filled my eyes. "Grandma!"Frank followed closely behind, knowing I wouldn't be consoled easily. He said, "Charlotte, let's have Dr. Travis check on Grandma."I managed to calm down a little and made space for Dr. Travis.At times like this, I hated that I wasn't a doctor and couldn't do anything.Moreover, Grandma had collapsed on the floor. I didn't know if she had hit her head. If I moved her incorrectly, she might be in even more danger.Seeing me kneeling on the floor, Frank couldn't stand it. "Julie, get me a cushion."J

    "She's originally from abroad, it's hard to catch her." Frank waved his hand and said to Zachary, "Take care of it. I'm going to have some fun for a while. Once you're better, you can handle the aftermath." Zachary nodded. After Frank left the hospital room, Zachary told everyone to go home. "I'm fine, just a stomach cramp. It's not serious." Rebecca held his hand, hesitant to speak. Zachary took the initiative and said, "Don't worry. I've already cleared things up with Jane. Even if we run into each other in the future, we won't greet each other. We'll be strangers from now on." Outside the hospital room, Jane withdrew her hand from the door, turning to speak to Charlotte. "No need to go in. He's fine." After getting in the car, Charlotte looked at her. "You should stay at Region Gardens for a while." "Once Zachary and Frank finish dealing with the Sanchez family, you can move back to your own place. The Sanchez family has deep roots, and I'm worried that if

    They were eager to see Zachary and hadn't had the chance to speak yet. "Was it Zachary who took Lexi away?" Frank nodded. "He said he would handle it personally, so it should be him handling it." "If the Sanchez family is inconvenient for you, I can take care of it." Just as Eric was about to speak, Mr. and Mrs. Sanchez arrived at the hospital room. They looked quite angry. "Eric, we've known each other for so many years. Even if we can't have a marriage alliance, don't harm my daughter." He unlocked his phone and handed it to Eric. Eric saw the image of Lexi tightly bound. He frowned. Zachary was still unconscious at this moment. Who sent this photo? Ross entered shortly after, answering his question. He heard Ross tell Frank. "The Winston family took her." The Winston family was the Collins family's greatest enemy. And the enemies who had nearly taken Jane's life in Heliafield were the most loyal followers of the Winston family. Thinking b

    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.
