Chapter 639

Author: Lean
During the emergency treatment, Prof. Kilburn came out to talk to Frank about the situation.

"I've done all I can, the rest depends on Dr. Travis. However, Dr. Travis said that treatment is possible, but he is not a miracle worker. If the patient remains emotionally distressed and cannot resolve it on her own, he cannot guarantee the child's safety."

Frank's hands, hanging by his side, clenched into fists.

His lips tightly pursed.

After a few seconds of silence, he spoke, "If we can't guarantee the child, then we focus on saving Charlotte first."

Jane noticed the restrained emotions in Frank's eyes.

She didn't fully understand it.

But she always felt that she could see such emotions in Frank.

It was as if every bone in him had been shattered.

"There must be a way."

Jane turned her face away, holding back tears. "Charlotte is very strong. She just needs time to accept it. Plus, she said she wouldn't give up on this child. Frank, you need to hang in there to

    Alana glanced over, then picked up the child and said to Frank, "The child will catch a cold sleeping like this. I'll stay in the nearby ward. Call me if you need anything." Frank nodded. Alana understood his feelings right now but couldn't comprehend why they had to endure so much hardship. How could this suffering never end? Now the unborn child was also suffering. She hoped the good luck charms she sincerely prayed for could protect them. "Give me the child to me." On the way back, Alex was left behind at an intersection by her. He had originally planned to take a shortcut but didn't expect to get stuck in a traffic jam. He was much slower and had just arrived. Alana sidestepped his outstretched hand and entered the ward. She placed Danny down, took off her shoes and coat, and covered him with a blanket. Then she sat down beside him. Alex said, "You should sleep with the child for a while. I'll call you if there's anything." Alana remained s

    I must have been unconscious for quite a while, my mouth felt dry. However, knowing that the baby was still there, I breathed a sigh of relief and prepared to get up for some water. It was at that moment that Jane rushed back in and quickly took the cup from my hands. "I'll get the water for you. Just lie down, wait for Dr. Travis to come and check on you before moving." Seeing her so anxious, and fearing for the baby, I lay back down. Jane poured a cup of warm water and handed it to me, then adjusted the pillow behind me so I could lean comfortably. I sighed. "You don't have to be so meticulous, I'm not that bad off yet." Jane's expression turned serious. "You don't need to pretend to be okay in front of me. We've been friends for so many years, and I know you." I lowered my head to drink the water, hiding the pain in my eyes and not responding to her. "Where's Frank?" Jane replied, "He has a high fever and is being treated next door." She didn't give me

    "Be prepared for what?" Dr. Travis and Prof. Kilburn exchanged a glance and said, "The worst-case scenario. If the fever develops into pneumonia, combined with his extensive wounds…" I didn’t want to go there that day. "You can't stay up late or overwork yourself. After this, go back and rest. Even if you can't sleep, just close your eyes and rest. We'll keep an eye on things here." Frank was lying face down, and I saw the extensive wounds on his back. My nose felt sore, but I didn't want to cry anymore. Crying was the least useful thing. "Jane." "Charlotte, what is it?" I took a deep breath, trying to appear fine. "I want to have something to eat." "Okay, I'll go buy something for you right now." It was getting late, and Zachary came along too. "Buy more, everyone probably hasn't eaten yet." After the funeral, we were supposed to eat, but one thing after another had prevented us from doing so. Yet, when I mentioned it, Dr. Travis and Prof. Kil

    "Not really…" Frank paused for a few seconds before continuing, "Your palms have been sweating. Just now, you grabbed my hand tightly, so I knew you were overthinking things." "Charlotte, don't punish yourself for someone else's mistakes." I opened my mouth, wanting him to stop talking. But before I could say a word, he closed his eyes again. Even in such poor health, he was trying to comfort me. What reason did I have to keep myself trapped in a self-made prison? Jane and Zachary returned with food. After I ate, Jane insisted I rest while she kept watch. I asked her to wait a moment and went to talk to Dr. Travis and Prof. Kilburn. "You two should go to sleep, I'll call for you if anything happens." Prof. Kilburn was fine, but Dr. Travis really shouldn't stay up all night. Thinking it wasn't useful to have so many people here for now, I decided to rest. I turned to Alan and said, "Can you set up another bed? I'll sleep here." The VIP ward's bed was

    Several people were standing at the emergency room door. Danny was among them. "Aunt!" He threw himself at my legs. "Aunt, I saw the bad guys take you away. I was so scared. It was a good thing that Uncle was capable of saving you, but he got hurt." He sniffled. "I didn't know Uncle would end up like this…" I hadn't expected it either. Ultimately, it was still my fault. "Why aren't you asleep? It’s so late." Alana explained for him, "He slept, but he was worried because he hadn't seen you. When he woke up, he rushed over to check on you." I patted his head. "Good boy." Jane tapped my shoulder. "You two talk. I need to make a few work calls." "Is something wrong at the company?" I asked. "No, I can handle it. You don't need to worry about it." Jane reassured me, "I'll be right next door. If you need anything, call me." "Okay." I nodded. "You handle your things, I still have Danny here." Danny puffed out his little chest. "Pretty sister, I'm here

    I had already reached my limit. I needed to consider the baby, so after breakfast, I planned to sleep. Frank was down, Alan was still injured, and Zachary was here to keep watch for a couple of days. The Smith family and SZ Technology had accumulated quite a bit of business that needed addressing. Before leaving, I wanted to talk to Jane, but she was sitting on the sofa, absorbed in her phone, giving no sign that she wanted to chat. Given the current situation, it wasn't the best time for a conversation. I decided to wait. I dreamt of my grandmother again. She probably wasn't at ease about me, as she kept coming to my dreams. "Lily, throughout life, one must experience birth, aging, illness, and death. I am very happy that while I am still alive, I can have this period of grandparent-grandchild relationship with you. At first, I thought I would never see you again in this life." I hugged my grandmother tightly. "Grandma…" I cried freely in her embrace, I d

    "Once everything’s been taken care of, we'll get married right away, how about that?" Frank stared at me for a long time without saying a word. I could see the emotions swirling in his eyes—complex feelings of disbelief, joy, excitement, and perhaps even a hint of me stealing his chance to propose. But in the end, he said nothing and simply hugged me. I wanted to pat his back to comfort him, but remembering his injury, I gently patted the back of his head twice. "Go celebrate over there, I need to talk to Dr. Travis." Frank released me, giving me one last look before moving aside to give Dr. Travis some space. I turned to Dr. Travis and said, "I can't manage my feelings alone anymore. Please come up with a plan, and I will follow it strictly, as long as it can help me keep this child." Frank immediately added, "We can keep the child, but not at the cost of making Charlotte suffer too much." Dr. Travis stroked his beard and asked, "Have you made your decision?

    When I was nearing delivery, my mom and uncle came to see me. I had visited her before when she was in the hospital. Not only was she physically and mentally shattered, but the reporters kept sneaking in because of the high media attention. My uncle arranged for her to go abroad for treatment, and it just so happened that Zachary knew a psychologist there. Seeing them arrive, I couldn't help but feel happy and quickly got up to walk over. "Mom, Uncle, you're here!" My mom was startled. "You child, your belly is so big now, why are you still so worked up?" My uncle glanced at my round belly and nodded. "That's good, you've put on some weight. There was a time when you looked so haggard and frail, you would have fallen over with just a gust of wind." I smiled awkwardly and looked at my mom. "How's the treatment going? I couldn't get through to you when I called, and Uncle said you were doing well." My uncle said, "Most of the injuries are healing well, but organiz

    "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

    She got up just around noon.After thinking for a moment, she decided to go see Westley.Westley wasn't in the bedroom, so she went downstairs to ask the staff.The servant pointed toward the kitchen, and she walked over, finding Westley cutting vegetables.A strip of bandages was wrapped around his exposed wrist.His pale lips and exhausted eyes suggested he was still in poor condition.Yet, he was cooking?Jordan pressed her lips together, her sleep had been poor, and her face didn’t look good either.She stood in place for a few seconds, then turned and walked away.If he didn’t take care of his own body, what business was it of hers?Westley glanced over but didn’t call her, continuing his task.Buck watched the whole scene, worried about Westley’s health, he was still running a fever.“Sir, you should rest. Let me arrange for someone to cook, and I’ll bring it up to you later. And Mrs. Howard... probably won’t care about you... You should take care of your health. Othe

    Charlotte nodded. “So does unhygienic mean better taste?”Jane directly spoke to her belly, "Son, you have to treat your mother-in-law well in the future. Mommy won't be able to back you up. Mommy’s useless..."Charlotte raised her hand and poked her forehead. "Alright, stop the act.""You're even bringing the child up. We still don’t know if it's a boy."Jane said, "I want to arrange a marriage alliance with you. My child can sense his mother’s feelings and will surely fulfill his mother's wishes.""That's nonsense." Charlotte went out to buy what she wanted to eat.As soon as she sat in the car, she received a call from Frank."Is Mr. Smith slacking off again?"Frank chuckled. "I’m calling my wife. Is that not allowed anymore?"Charlotte had driven herself. She turned on the air conditioning and was thinking about going shopping. "I’ve got to go now. I'll be home tonight."Frank heard the sound of the engine and asked, "Did you go out?"Charlotte snorted, "You should know

    The fireworks were dazzling and brilliant.Westley looked up in a certain direction.At the moment the fireworks bloomed, a figure appeared in the window of that place.Jordan couldn’t sleep because of Westley’s injury.As she tossed and turned in bed, a sudden bright light appeared in front of the window.She walked over to the window, opened it, and saw the fireworks bursting in the night sky.There seemed to be a few figures on the beach.But Westley was tall enough that she could spot him at a glance.At that moment, she forgot to watch the fireworks.It was only when Westley raised his hand and pointed upward that she looked up.She realized that the fireworks formed a few words.“I’m sorry, Jordan.”“Happy birthday.”Jordan had originally planned to spend her birthday with Nathan and Jane.But when she was brought over by Westley, she completely forgot about her birthday.She glanced at the time, and it was exactly midnight.Her birthday had begun.The night sky
