Chapter 72

Author: Lean
Jane held back at first but then snatched the phone from me in one swift move, her illness didn't weaken her fighting spirit in the slightest.

"Jessica, don't you have a mirror? Or are you just blind? You can't even hide the words 'mistress' on your face, can you? And you, Ryan, who the hell do you think you are..."

I shivered after hearing those words, not waiting for them to escalate the conversation, I lunged forward and hung up the phone!

Jane wasn't done venting her anger. "Why did you hang up? I was about to give those two a piece of my mind!"

"Calm down," I said.

I originally felt extremely aggrieved, but now I calmed down. I poured a glass of water for Jane. "Actually, if Ryan really listens to her, it might be better for everyone if we got divorced."

Given the current situation between Ryan and me, letting each other go might be the best choice.

"Are you really okay with that?" Jane took a big gulp of hot water, getting more and more worked up. "I support you getting di

    "Stop embarrassing yourself!""Huh?" Tom opened his eyes and was shocked. "Charlotte? It's you... uh..."He scratched his head awkwardly. "I didn't expect you to be here as well.""Yeah, I'm here to hang out with Jane," I teased, pointing to the shoe cabinet. "Help yourself."Seeing him like this, it was clear he wasn't here for the first time and didn't need me to fetch slippers for him.Turning back, I gave Jane a puzzled look.Jane shrugged. "It's definitely not what you're thinking. I'm still single by the way.""Charlotte, just wait for my good news!" Tom had eased out of his embarrassment, changed into a pair of slippers, and smiled.Jane retorted, "Get lost, why are you here?""You said you were sick, so I came to check on you.""You come to visit someone who's sick empty-handed?""I came over as soon as you told me you were sick, so I didn't have time to buy anything. I'll order something right now."I tactfully carried my drawing board into the bedroom. I sat by th

    I was slightly taken aback. "Maybe."As adults, especially at such a critical moment, we would obviously think about each other's actions.But what I always wanted was never to have both the carrot and the stick.It was too boring.If there was no mutual understanding, then it would be best for each other to go our own ways. That was the best choice.Today was not a drinking session but a card game.When we were approaching the door of the private room, I suddenly wanted to go to the toilet. I informed Jane and headed towards the toilet.After taking care of my needs, as soon as I turned the corner outside the restroom, I came face to face with Jack.He happened to see me too. He cocked his brows and smiled. "I saw your name on the competition list submitted by the Frost family. I'm looking forward to the day we will be working together."Feeling a bit embarrassed, I smiled and replied, "Jack, I'm just participating. Can..."Mid-sentence, a large hand suddenly wrapped around

    It was the same old tricks.He would kiss me whenever he couldn't win in an argument.The man cupped my jaw and kissed me hard and fast, and his hands fell on my waist, rubbing me and making me shudder.I knew that if I let him continue like this, I would become too embarrassed to walk out of that door.But it wasn't up to me.He was overbearing and strong when it came to this. The power gap between a woman and a man was miles apart.I couldn't resist so I could only beg Ryan for mercy. I knew begging him always worked. "Ryan, you don't do this. What will others think of me...""Who? Jack?" he asked while kissing. The voice that was coming through his teeth was deep and sexy.I obviously wouldn't go against him at such times. I could only be forced to accept his kisses while explaining in a seamless manner, "I, I really don't have anything with him... It's just because of MS's design competition, it's only... well...""You're just using him?"His thoughts were extraordinary,

    It turned out that it wasn't my imagination or a misunderstanding on my part. Even my husband was now treating me as the person in this relationship who couldn’t be seen by others.While incessantly questioning me about my relationship with Jack, he also instructed me to hide behind the door and not come out.It was hilarious."It's not what you think." Ryan reached out to touch my shoulder. I instinctively stepped back, looking at him awkwardly. I didn’t want to cry, but tears welled up in my eyes in an instant. "Don't touch me."‘Don't touch me.’ My mind went blank in waves, leaving only this one thought."Charlotte, don't jump to conclusions. I just don't want to ..."Knock! Knock! Knock!The expected knocking interrupted his words.Jessica must have caused a scene in each private room, determined to find Ryan and me. Otherwise, it wouldn't have taken this long."Go home and wait for me, I'll explain later."Before Ryan opened the door to leave, he left these words in a de

    "I couldn't ask for more. I heard you just left with Ryan. What happened? Did he bully you again?" She sent an angry emoji.Before I could reply, a voice call came through. I immediately hung up, stating, "I'm fine, I'm in the car. We can talk when you're back."Throughout the journey, Jack sensed my subdued mood and just let me be, not forcing any conversation. He gave me the space I needed to clear my mind.As I unbuckled my seatbelt before getting out of the car, I said, "Jack, about what happened today, please don't take it to heart."He slowly pressed the brake brought the car to a stop and smiled. "It's alright, I'm happy.""Huh?" I was puzzled.Jack turned his head towards me, teasingly saying, "Haven't you noticed? You haven't thanked me once today."I pursed my lips. "But I should have...""I'm not reminding you to thank me." He interrupted me with a half-smile, then softened his voice. "Between friends, there's no need for so much formality."I chuckled softly. "Then

    I also guessed that the person Jane was talking to on the phone was Tom. But Jane's anger hadn't subsided."Yeah, yeah, Jessica is pregnant! Charlotte is like the invincible Iron Man. She's already miserable enough and you just had to make things worse.""Well, I hope Ryan doesn't regret it in the future.""He's relying on outsiders to prosper. When he regrets his decision in the future, it'll be well-deserved!""Get lost. Don't expect me to help him persuade Charlotte. If Charlotte divorces him, I'll support her wholeheartedly, even if it makes my hair stand on end."I took a deep breath, leaning against the wall and sitting on the bay window. I messaged Nancy on WhatsApp.Nancy replied almost instantly, "Charlotte, you've heard about it... Yes, it was the day before yesterday. Mr. Frost's father personally came and transferred Ms. Frost to the CEO's office.""I'm sorry, I didn't know how to tell you. Are you and Mr. Frost okay?"I suppressed the bitterness in my heart.

    Therefore, the cost of medical treatment here surpassed that of public hospitals by a large margin. As a result, the outpatient department wasn't very crowded at this hour.While waiting for my turn, I felt something else flowing from my lower body again. "Jane, could you go buy me some sanitary pads?""Are you bleeding again?"Jane's expression became even more worried, and she sprang up from her chair. "I'll go buy them. If you have an emergency, call me. Got it? Wait for me here if I'm not back before the doctor's done checking on you. Don't go anywhere.""Okay." I nodded weakly.Before feeling unwell, I had thought apart from morning sickness, I wasn't much different from before pregnancy. Now I realized how exhausted I was. I had no extra energy left at all."Number 36, Charlotte Wilson, please proceed to consultation room 3."I sat near the door and entered when called, handing the report to the doctor. "Doctor, could you please take a look? I suddenly started bleeding tod

    Ryan, who had been playing with his phone with his head down, suddenly looked up. Unable to hide, I could only force myself to walk out.Ryan's expression softened slightly, and he said in a gentle voice, "Why are you at the hospital?"Completely different from his cold tone when confronting Jessica just now. If it were before, I might have sensed a hint of favoritism in his coldness.Now, all I felt was mockery.Before I could say anything, Jessica glanced at the doctor's introduction on the office door display screen and smirked. "Why are you seeing this kind of specialist? Could it be you've contracted HPV or something? This kind of infection only happens if you have a messy private life."She deliberately raised her voice and it drew many disdainful glances towards me.Instead, I breathed a sigh of relief. Glancing at the display screen, I realized that perhaps due to a shift change, the specialist shown wasn't the doctor I had just registered with.I also realized that even

    Buck's unchanging poker face was stunned. "Wasn't it benign?""Well, someone has a death wish."That was true.Buck was about to say something when he heard Westley calling him. He quickly walked into the ward.He didn't need to listen, he knew it was something about Jordan."Go after her immediately. Keep a close watch on her and report back to me in real-time."Buck had been by Westley's side all these years.He thought he would be asked to arrange for someone trustworthy to keep an eye on her.But it turned out that it Westley was sending him."Sir, I can send Silas.""You go." Westley massaged his temples. "Silas still has his own matters to deal with.""Then what about Jax...""You go." Westley's eyes grew cold. "Do I need to repeat myself?""But what about you...""Do you think I’ll die in the Greyson family's hospital?"Well, that was not possible.The Greyson family's security was only slightly inferior to the Howard family's.But Buck had never left Westley's

    "Mr. Howard’s illness is quite serious this time, but it wasn’t because he caught a cold from bringing you to the hospital today. It’s because he’s already been in poor health recently. It’s just a coincidence that the cold worsened his condition. Considering the past relationship, please stay and keep him company. Your fever hasn't subsided, and it's a good opportunity to rest in the hospital for a few days."Jordan remained silent. At that moment, her phone rang.She thought it was the driver calling, but when she picked up, it was Oliver."Oliver.""Have you finished what you’re doing?" Oliver's gentle voice sounded on the other end of the line. "There's work here. Once you're done, come over. It’s fine if you’re not done yet. It's not an animal shoot. If you can't spare the time, I'll contact someone else."Jordan quickly replied, "I'll fly over right now.""Mrs. Howard, you're still running a fever." Buck spoke up, earning an angry glare from Jordan."Jordy, are you running

    Jordan's face turned red with anger, and she yelled, "You're sneaky and cunning. You’re just a scumbag!"Westley bent down to pick up the door handle and handed it to her."How did a perfectly fine door break in your hands? Instead of cursing, shouldn't you reflect on yourself?"Suddenly, Jordan wasn't angry anymore.In fact, she even laughed.Because she was truly speechless."Westley, you're making me feel that having feelings for you back then was the stupidest thing I’ve ever done. I was really stupid, actually feeling sad and upset for someone like you, who is full of lies and has a scheming heart. You don't deserve it. Westley, you... don't... deserve it."Westley hadn't expected this outcome.It had been a good opportunity, and he really wanted to sit down and have a proper conversation with her.But what happened last night was beyond his expectations.He hadn't predicted today's situation either."I didn't mean it like that... let me explain..."Jordan interrupted

    She wasn't used to calling someone for every little thing."It's fine, I just need a sip of water.""You have a 39-degree fever, so please rest more. If the fever doesn't go down, it could turn into pneumonia, like Mr. Howard."Cough cough...Jordan choked on the water. She vaguely remembered that outside the Civil Affairs Bureau, Westley had walked toward her and seemed to have picked her up.But there were so many people around him. Could he really get soaked in the rain?How did she get this high fever?It couldn't be that she fainted, and just by him picking her up, he caught the illness, right?Westley met her confused gaze and began to explain, "You were soaked through. I carried you all the way to the hospital, and I got wet too."‘So?’"I was so focused on getting you treated, I forgot about myself. I thought I was fine, but it turns out I'm worse off than you."Jordan knew that Westley rarely fell ill.She had envied his constitution when they were kids. Unlike her

    Jane happily sent the couple into the elevator.She returned home and picked up the clothes that were scattered on the floor.As she was about to pick up a piece, a fine hand took it from her.She was helped to sit down on the sofa.Jane found it amusing. "Didn't my check-up results show no issues? It's just hanging clothes, it's not like I can't do it."She felt like she was disabled being taken care of like this by Zachary."And you, you've taken over the family business now, aren't you busy? Stop circling around me all day."Zachary hung the clothes on the hanger and placed them in the study first.Hearing her words, his lips pressed down slightly."Are you getting tired of me?"‘No wonder he’s good friends with Frank,’ thought Jane.Jane had just heard Charlotte complain that every time she did something, even if she was away for a short while, Frank would make it seem as if she was getting tired of him."Staring at the same person all the time, it's bound to happen."

    Due to Westley's special permission, their news was all over Nelana recently.Jordan was caught in the rain, Westley carried her to the hospital, and they even took a dramatic photo, which has been going viral all over the internet these past few days."With the beginning and end cut out, the clueless audience has been going crazy over this."Westley controlled the message he wanted to send out to the public.As for why Jordan was standing in the rain at the Civil Affairs Bureau, no one would know.To the public, they were the picture-perfect wealthy couple with a great relationship."My connections are getting better,"Dominic joked. "I found out it's nothing serious, just an acute cold from getting soaked in the rain. She's at the Greyson family's hospital, and even Carter, a big shot, was called to check on her. There’s definitely nothing to worry about."Jane let out a sigh of relief. "That's good, please keep an eye on her for me.""Don't worry. Just take care of yourself,"

    Westley looked at Jordan on the hospital bed, her lips pale, and didn't say anything.His gaze was deep, and it was unclear what he was thinking.Leanne, seeing his hair still dripping wet, went to grab a towel to help him dry it.Westley raised his hand to push her away.Leanne laughed. "So what, you're planning to stay here be sick with her?"Westley remained silent.Leanne was used to it.As the eldest son of the Howard family, bearing a heavy responsibility, he had matured earlier than other kids his age. His thoughts were so deep that they were impossible to fathom.When he was in a good mood, he would talk a little more.When he was in a bad mood, he couldn't even spare a glance."Westley, the one at fault here is you. Forgive me for speaking frankly, but the way you're handling this will only make Jordan more frustrated and push her even further away from you. You know best yourself—everyone who lied would be punished severely by you. You've deceived Jordan again and a

    "Tell Westley that if I don't see him at the Civil Affairs Bureau today, I'll file for divorce. If his work gets affected or he gets embarrassed because of it, he'd better not blame me."Buck's phone was on speaker, so there was no need to relay the message—Westley heard everything clearly.Caught in the middle, Buck felt like a sandwich. Not an enviable position."Mrs. Howard, you must be very busy. Don't waste time waiting outside the Civil Affairs Bureau. Once Mr. Howard finishes his work, he'll contact you.""Contact my ass!" Jordan swore, her frustration spilling over. "That scumbag is full of tricks! Let's see how long you can hide for! I'll wait until five o'clock when the Civil Affairs Bureau closes. If I don't see you, get ready for me to file for divorce!"Beep beep beep!She hung up the phone.Buck hesitated before carefully speaking. "Sir, Mrs. Howard seems to know you were listening.""Yeah."Westley's lips curved into a faint smile. "She's gotten smarter."Buck

    "They've gone through so much and still haven't reconciled!"The captain didn't even open his eyes and said, "Go run 10km."Jordan thought she wouldn't be able to sleep after everything that happened.But in the end, she drifted off in a daze.In her hazy state, it seemed as if something brushed against the corner of her eye, wiping away her tears.The next morning, when she woke up, the room was completely empty, leaving only her.She immediately went out to look for Westley.There was no sign of Buck, who was always by his side.She grabbed someone nearby and asked, "Where's Westley?"The subordinate replied, "Mr. Howard left last night. I'm not sure about his specific itinerary. Please understand, Mrs. Howard."Westley's schedule was always kept confidential.It was only known when he actually appeared at an event.The only one who might know was Buck.But she couldn't get in touch with him either.Just as she was about to call Westley, another call came in.Seeing th
