Otherwise, Zachary wouldn’t even have realized his phone was taken.

He had also been held up by the Collins family for so long that he missed Jane’s call for help.

This situation was indeed serious.

Usually, he would kick at anything that crossed his path, but now he was silent.

Charlotte glanced at him and stepped closer to Michael.

“What video?”

Michael handed Jane’s phone to Charlotte.

Charlotte hadn’t seen Jane’s phone, she thought it might have been left at home in the rush.

She hadn’t expected it to be in Michael’s hands.

Instead of looking at it right away, she said to Zachary, “You should let Jane rest. She has a concussion.”

Zachary quickly helped Jane lie down and covered her with a blanket.

He then sat by the bed, keeping her warm with the IV line.

Only then did Charlotte open the video.

As soon as she saw the beginning, she immediately stopped playing it.

However, the ward had fallen silent, and no matter how quickly she turned it off, some sound still leak

    Jane was not an unreasonable person.Moreover, his main goal was not to seek Jane's forgiveness or anything else.He simply wanted to protect her to the best of his ability.He didn’t want her to be hurt by Nina or looked down upon by the Collins family simply for being with Zachary.Frank followed Zachary out.It wasn't his choice, Charlotte had asked him to check the situation.He was frustrated with Zachary for dragging him into this mess, grumbling as he poked at him. “Given the current situation, Michael is doing better than you.”Zachary was too tired to engage in a verbal sparring match. “Contact Prof. Kilburn and see if there's any way to perform a paternity test now.”Frank replied, “It won’t help to rush. Even if you want to test now, Nina won’t allow it.”“If the dirt is thrown on you, that’s one thing, but if she thinks to throw it on Jane, your future with her will be even tougher.”He wasn’t unwilling to intervene, but the elders of the Collins family had been

    Charlotte didn’t understand. “What does that mean?”Frank leaned in to explain.Charlotte quickly grabbed the phone and looked at it seriously.Earlier, she hadn’t examined it closely due to the ambiguous sounds.Now, she muted the audio, and with Frank’s hint, she understood the problem.“Does that mean Nina has the surveillance footage from when Jane and Zachary lost their memories?”Frank nodded. “95%.”Charlotte understood why there was a remaining 5%. With someone as scheming as Nina, who managed to entrap such a clever person like Zachary, she must have kept something she was very confident about.But it was also possible that in her aggressiveness, she had overlooked something.That was why Frank said 95% instead of 100%.“You have to tell Zachary,” Charlotte urged.Frank remained calm. “He doesn’t even have his phone. How can I tell him? What if someone from the Collins family sees it?”Charlotte cocked her brows. “You’re right, but I know you must have a way.”Fra

    She chuckled as she took the phone. “What instructions do you have, Mr. Smith?”Frank glanced behind her. “Turn around.”Charlotte shot him a look. “You went to the film crew, I don’t believe you don’t know.”Everyone in this area was his subordinate.Frank smiled faintly. “My wife is really smart.”Charlotte saw he was still in the car. “You really can’t get into the courtyard gate, can you?”Frank chuckled, his voice always brimming with confidence. “I’m waiting for the right moment.”“You eat, I’m hanging up.”“Okay.”Charlotte returned the phone to Alan and said, “You go about your business, I can handle the food myself, or you can arrange for someone else to deliver it.”Someone like Alan, who could accomplish the work of 10 people, was a rare talent, so it was better not to make him do something trivial like delivering food.Frank had asked Alan to come because he was naturally concerned.Even the bodyguards he personally trained weren’t enough.He was always cautiou

    But Nina was unwilling, persistently reaching out her hand toward Zachary.At that moment, Zachary was still worried about Jane, and not being able to be by her side was already frustrating enough.Nina was the cause of it all, he returned to keep this child, not wanting to be continually threatened by her.“My patience is limited, Nina. It’s not that I can’t handle you, I just want you to have evidence that leaves you speechless. Don’t think you can completely control me with this.”Nina's hand dropped, and with it fell her tears, her trembling lashes hiding the malice in her eyes.If it were Jane, he would never say such things.She had already learned that Jane was injured and had gone to the hospital, Frank had taken him away just now to see Jane.If she hadn’t used some tricks to call him back, that close care would have only intensified their feelings.At that point, if pushed too hard, Zachary might just decide to go down with her.“Julie, thank you for your help.”“Th

    “Isn't it all because of Jane?”“It was her sudden appearance that changed everything between us.”Zachary had been facing away from her, but at these words, he turned around.His gaze on her became even colder.“If you could say one truthful thing, maybe there would still be room for us.”“What do you want me to say?” Nina glanced at his pocket.“Zachary, you’re smarter than me, you should know that recording without permission doesn’t hold as evidence.”Zachary simply turned and walked away, ignoring Nina’s calls to stop.Nina, however, didn’t show much emotional fluctuation.No matter how much Zachary hated her, she didn’t want to return to how things used to be.As long as he and Jane had no chance together.Frank waited at the gate for a while.He occasionally checked his watch to keep track of the time.Just as he lowered his raised hand, his phone vibrated.Seeing the contact name, he slightly curved his lips and answered, “Can you come out?”Zachary asked, “How i

    “Zachary, you’re still worried about me, right?”Zachary’s expression remained impassive. “Take the medicine.”Nina’s eyes brightened as she eagerly asked, “Can you feed...”“Not going to happen.” Zachary’s refusal was firm.Even if he needed to find the deleted surveillance footage from that night, he couldn’t suddenly change his attitude toward her.Since she had calculated everything to this point, it would be difficult for her not to be suspicious.“I’ll leave it here. Whether you drink it or not is your business. You don’t want this child, I can’t help that. The right to reproduce is yours, and you’re the one most qualified to decide its fate.”With that, Zachary left the room.Nina stared at the medicine, deep in thought.Jane woke up in the early morning, wanting to go to the bathroom.Charlotte quickly stepped forward to help her, asking, “Are you still feeling dizzy or nauseous?”“Much better,” Jane replied, her voice hoarse. Her steps were still unsteady. “But the

    Frank saw that Zachary had the idea of following him into the bathroom and blocked him at the door. "Sorry, I have a wife. I can’t let you see me naked." Zachary held back his frustration but couldn’t help retorting, "Get lost, who wants to see you naked? You make it sound like you’re the only one with a wife." "We’re legally married, what about you?" Frank dragged out the words. "You might not be." Zachary angrily shut the bathroom door. He contacted Jane to ask about the situation himself. Charlotte returned from the hospital cafeteria with breakfast and heard Jane on the phone. "I’m fine. You focus on your work. Charlotte can take care of me. I’m not dizzy anymore and don’t feel nauseous either. If I just get another IV today, I can be discharged." Charlotte shot her a glance but didn’t press further. Jane was also worried about saying too much, so she quickly added, "I’m hungry, I’ll eat, gotta go now." Zachary hadn’t even had the chance to respond with a

    Zachary walked in and set the tray down. “Eat.” Nina looked at him, her face devoid of color, making her dark pupils appear deep. Zachary stood there with one hand in his pocket, his expression neutral. After staring at each other for a while, Nina smiled. “Zachary, you want something from me, right?” Zachary remained silent. Nina picked up the oat porridge and took a sip, her tone leisurely. “This feels quite pointless. Why don’t you agree to one condition? I’ll get rid of the child, and we can go back to how we used to be.” Zachary likely guessed what that condition was. He had thought that her feelings for him were just youthful infatuation, something that was normal given they lived under the same roof and spent nearly every day together. He assumed that after being abroad for so many years, and as she grew older, those adolescent feelings would have long faded away. Unexpectedly, not only had they not disappeared, but they had become more stubborn. Af

    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
