Chapter 786

Author: Lean
In the ward, Zachary peeled an orange for Jane.

For half a day, they had said nothing.

Yet they understood everything.

Zachary carefully peeled the orange, removing the white pith as well.

He fed one piece after another to Jane.

After finishing one orange, he offered her some water.

Only then did he speak, “What do you want to eat? I’ll go buy some for you.”

Jane couldn’t shake her head yet, so she waved her hand. “You should go back.”

They locked gazes for a moment, then Zachary leaned in and kissed her forehead.

“I’m sorry.”

Jane hugged him and patted his back. “You don’t need to say sorry.”

“It’s not about Nina.”

That referred to the words of his grandmother.

Jane realized this and asked, “Were you at the door when your grandmother came?”

“Yes.”

“So you heard everything.”

“Yes.”

Zachary gently embraced her but then tightened his arms, wishing he could merge with her completely.

“I told them I would stand by you.”

Jane laughed. “That’s enough for

    “Keep an eye on her?” Frank scoffed, “You only realized she was in your bed after waking up at noon, so what about before you woke up?” Zachary only remembered that he fell asleep around three in the morning. He woke up at noon. He frowned slightly. “Is that enough time?” “Doctors on night duty can handle this kind of situation,” replied Frank. “She knew we were on our honeymoon in Heliafield, so if she had a plan, she would have arranged it in advance. Artificial insemination is always the sooner the better.” Zachary still couldn’t figure it out. “Roy is on the floor below. If Nina went out, he would have noticed.” Frank watched Zachary without saying anything, instead handing him a tablet. “What’s this?” “See for yourself.” As Zachary scanned the text on the screen, disbelief grew within him. “You’re saying she took my… and put it into herself? How could that be possible?” He couldn’t believe it at all. Frank also found this possibility disturbing, but some th

    Frank's gaze turned colder. “If after the wedding she finds a way to get rid of the child, then it’s not yours. If not, it’s definitely yours.” Zachary chuckled in frustration. “Let me ask you this. in the same situation, would you use this method?” Frank leaned lazily against the chair, his casual tone striking a nerve. “I wouldn’t let that situation happen.” At the hospital, Jane finished her IV and was discharged. She didn’t want to stay in the hospital, who knew if someone would come to talk to her again? Returning to her little home improved her mood, perhaps she would recover better there. “Have you started cooking?” Charlotte poured her a glass of water and noticed the kitchen equipment had increased significantly, and the fridge was fully stocked. “If I remember correctly, you don’t know how to cook at all.” “You really know how to flatter me, don’t you?” Jane leaned against the doorframe, sipping yogurt. “Zachary cooks, and I wash the dishes.” Charlotte loo

    Even though it wasn’t as exquisite as a fancy restaurant, it was still delicious.“But Charlotte, I plan to break up with Zachary.” Zachary returned to the Collins family, and Nina was just walking downstairs. He glanced at her and silently headed to his room. Nina seemed flustered, as if she almost stumbled down the stairs. He didn’t reach out, but she grabbed his arm. After steadying herself, she exclaimed in panic, “You scared me! Thank goodness you’re back, Zachary. Otherwise, our child might be lost.” Zachary remained indifferent. Since that night at the hotel, he found it increasingly hard to understand Nina, nor did he intend to. In any case, he definitely wouldn’t give her any chances to act out. After a long silence, he recalled what Frank had suggested. “Nina, do you want to marry me?” Nina was stunned, unable to believe her ears. Clearly, Zachary had pretended to be ill just to see Jane. She had been trying to find a way, and now he suddenly propos

    Right now, taking a risky move was the best way to break the deadlock. But… Charlotte put down her phone and asked Jane, “Are you serious? You just said someone stood by your side, and you were happy. Why are you saying this now? What you mean by breaking up—do you mean a permanent breakup or just a temporary separation until he handles things with Nina?” Jane wanted to have a drink, but she couldn’t because of the medication. She took a sip of water and said, “It’s a breakup. I can’t reach the Collins family. Having been there is enough for me. I don’t want him to sever ties with his family because of me. My biological father, though he has severed ties, we still have a father-daughter relationship. In the future, Zachary will go into politics. My father could become his liability. So, if I can’t help him, I shouldn’t hold him back.” Charlotte felt heartbroken. Frank had recorded these words in Madam Collins' room and sent them to Charlotte. She had intended to keep it f

    “Came to check on you.”Zachary handed her the water.After she finished drinking, he took it back and asked, “Do you want more?”Jane shook her head, sat up, and wrapped herself in a blanket. Once her thoughts were clearer, she said, “I’m fine, you can go back.”Zachary looked at her without speaking.Jane also remained silent. After a while, she seemed to understand why Zachary was there.“It was Charlotte who said something, right?”“Yeah, she said you planned to break up with me.”Jane’s lips moved slightly.When she was chatting with Charlotte, she indeed had that thought.But in front of Zachary, she found it hard to express.Still, given the current situation, she felt she needed to make a decision.When one has something, they may not feel how important it is.Trying to lose it for a moment can help face one’s true feelings.Then it would be a choice between completely separating or overcoming obstacles together.“Yeah, I really…”“Put that thought away.”Zac

    Zachary couldn't accept it. The moonlight fell on him, wrapping him in a layer of coldness. He sat on the coffee table, his long legs sprawling out, casually enclosing her in his territory. But he knew he couldn’t hold Jane back. When they were together, he had said that he wouldn’t restrain her. He allowed her to remain free and unrestrained. Even though he was reluctant, after a long silence, he still acquiesced to her wishes. “Okay.” The door opened and closed. The dim living room was left with a chill. If it weren’t for the lingering familiar scent of tobacco, Jane might have felt that Zachary had never been there. When Zachary left, he took Roy with him. But he still left a bodyguard to protect Jane, in case someone took advantage of the chaos to harm her. What he didn’t expect was that barely a few steps out the door, someone else entered. Jane disliked the dark, so she turned on all the lights in the room. She intended to call Charlot

    “But I know this date isn’t 100% accurate. However, I consulted a doctor who said drinking this can help relieve menstrual pain.” It might have been the reason that Jane had bumped her head, she was being a little slow. “That’s too late, I already…” Her mouth always ran ahead while her brain lagged behind. After a short pause, she reached out and took the bowl, downing it in one gulp. “Thanks anyway.” Michael caught the main point. “Jane, you’re on your period?” “Yeah.” Jane grabbed her phone to place a delivery order. Michael inadvertently saw what she was doing and said, “I’ll go. Some delivery guys might not want to take this kind of order, I used to do deliveries.” This was the first time Jane had called a delivery guy to buy sanitary pads. She usually prepared in advance. But with everything going on lately and bumping her head, she had forgotten. “Wait.” Michael seemed to remember something and hurriedly added, “Call Mr. Collins. He’s your b

    Zachary grabbed Jane's arm tightly, applying quite a bit of force. Before Jane could say anything, Michael hurried over, trying to help her. However, he was no match for Zachary's strength. "You’re hurting her, can’t you see she’s frowning?" "Roy." Zachary called for Roy, who walked in and pulled Michael outside. "Take off the apron." Roy removed Michael's apron, placing it on the shoe cabinet before closing the door. Michael couldn’t fight back against Roy. He was a professional bodyguard. Every time this happened, he hated himself for being unable to protect the person he liked. He glanced at Jane and saw her signaling him to leave, so he had no choice but to comply. Inside the room, Jane tried to break free from Zachary's grip, but his hand felt like a steel clamp. Her arm hurt to the point of numbness. Initially annoyed because of her period, her temper flared. "Let go!" Zachary yanked her over and threw her onto the sofa. When Jan

    The baby really did kick out."Truly a mischievous little brat."Jane laughed, her soft hand resting on his large palm, a mischievous glint in her eyes."As long as there’s someone that he’ll listen to, I, as his mother, won’t have to worry anymore."Zachary wanted a daughter like Jane.But as long as it was her child, even if it was a son, he would be fine with it.However, the son she painstakingly gave birth to was for someone else."Sparrow really looks like Frank. Aren't you worried that he might bully your son?"Jane wasn’t worried, "If my son is as clever as you, he wouldn’t necessarily be the one getting bullied."These things were still too early to discuss.Zachary stopped the conversation. "Come and sleep with me, honey."As soon as he finished speaking, the door was knocked on loudly.Zachary was about to curse.Jane calmly smoothed out his messy hair that had been pushed up from sleeping."Get some sleep.

    "Miss Howard, regarding this matter, Mr. Howard said that he will not get involved. You can look into this matter, but he doesn't recommend you getting involved."Leanne expressed concern, "But I'm afraid that Zachary might be threatened this time, and if he’s angry, he won’t handle things properly. You saw my cousin's condition. What if later, he and Jordy are still at odds? What should we do then? Carter didn’t achieve his goal this time, so who knows how he will retaliate next time."The possibility of Carter seeking revenge was slim.Since he managed to get Zachary to agree, he would certainly continue to follow Zachary and make sure this matter was handled.In the future, if something happened to Westley, Carter would still be the one to deal with it."You don’t need to worry about this. Zachary will handle it."Leanne couldn’t match Zachary’s intellect,Which was why she wanted to make some preparations beforehand."Alright, I’ll keep an eye on things."Buck went to arra

She had been unable to contact her, but after messaging Charlotte, she got a reply saying not to worry, Jordan was fine.But now the shooting had to be postponed because Jordan wasn’t feeling well.She didn’t know who to believe."Is Jordan okay?""She's fine.

    When Zachary entered the password for the second time, the door was opened.Charlotte, with sharp eyes, came out and quickly pulled Frank away.When Frank tried to speak, she covered his mouth.As soon as the elevator doors closed, Frank pressed her against the wall, trapping her in the corner, pulling her into his arms."Since when are you an authoritarian, not letting me speak?"Charlotte pushed him. "There are cameras."Frank didn’t even look back, "I’m blocking the view, they can’t see.""Did you miss me?"Charlotte smiled helplessly, "You’ve only been gone for two days.""Two days and you didn’t miss me?" Frank’s eyelids drooped. "27 hours of flight, 1620 minutes, 97200 seconds...""I’ve missed you." Charlotte interrupted him. "I’ve missed you."A wicked smile instantly spread across Frank’s eyes. He leaned closer to her and asked, "Which part of me did you miss?"Zachary went straight to the bathroom as soon as he entered the house. After cleaning himself up, he came

    "Yes.""Quickly, tell me."Leanne's curiosity was stirred, and Buck said."Mr. Collins made this foster sister marry the second son of the Hilton family."Leanne was shocked."The second son of the Hilton family, from the Yelar?""Which other Hilton family could make the Collins family silent?"Leanne gave a thumbs-up. "Impressive.""Zachary's mind and tactics are indeed remarkable."Buck continued, "Coincidentally, Mr. Collins’ sister is Mandy’s direct superior."Leanne nodded, "No wonder Carter insisted on Zachary backing down. But I still have a question.""What is it?" asked Buck."Why would the second son of the Hilton family marry Zachary’s sister? They don’t need to form an alliance with the Collins family to gain any benefits, do they?" said Leanne.Buck was stunned.The marriage between the Hilton family and the Collins family was facilitated by Lucifer.But Lucifer's name was a taboo for the Leanne."You can’t even tell me?" Leanne was extremely curious. She w

    "I don’t have any ideas."Nathan took Jordan onto the plane and gave her a cup of milk.They flew straight back to Impelia, where they went to the hospital for a full body check-up.Although there were no external injuries, he was still not at ease.Jordan had kept refusing, but she couldn't argue with Nathan and went for the check-up.While waiting for her examination, Nathan received a call from Calvin."What happened?""Do you know the consequences of leaving the team without permission?"Nathan of course knew, but he was too worried and was caught up in a mission, so he took the risk."Don’t worry, Grandpa, I know what I’m doing."Calvin's tone was stern. "Nathan, everything you have today was earned with blood. If you aren’t careful and lose it, how will you protect those two cousins?"Nathan responded, "I’ll reflect on my actions. I won’t let the Jackson family face any issues, and I won’t lose everything I have."Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to stop Westley from en

    "How could you think of me like this?" Jane glared at him. "You sound as if I’ve been terrible to you. I think you’re amazing, capable of handling anything, which is why I rely on you and trust you so much."Zachary’s frown relaxed. "I’ve put a lot of effort in this time, how are you going to reward me?"Charlotte couldn’t take it anymore and hung up the video call."Stop treating me like I’m invisible, both of you."Jane didn’t call back. She knew that help from afar couldn’t solve the immediate problem.She leaned on Charlotte’s shoulder and sighed.Charlotte patted her head. "Don’t keep sighing. We’ve already found a solution to the problem.""I feel so sorry for Jordan.""No one’s life is without difficulties."Jane knew that, but she still didn’t want Jordan to go through such hardship.Charlotte opened her phone to show her something.Jane was surprised. "A pink dolphin?"Charlotte nodded. "Yes, Jordan took it.""Why didn’t she send it to me?""This was sent to me b

    "Jane..."Jane looked at her, heart aching. "Don’t worry. I’ll have Zachary take you back. I’ve bought your favorite food.""But Westley...""It has nothing to do with you."How could it not? Jordan wiped her tears. "If he really dies, without any proof, I won’t be able to explain it."This was indeed a problem.If Westley really died, no one would be able to torment Jordan anymore.But Westley’s death couldn’t be tied to Jordan."Don’t worry. Zachary will look into this clearly. It won’t be tied to you. Come back first."Jordan nodded. "Okay.""Jordy!"Leanne saw Jordan nodding and quickly said, "my cousin did hurt you, but it wasn’t a crime that he deserves to die for. Before you two got married, everything he did for you wasn’t fake. My parents and I are sincere with you too. Even if you hate my cousin, you can’t just stand by and watch him die, right? Please, I beg you. Just say something, save him, and I promise I’ll do everything I can to make sure he never bothers you

    Carter moved at a steady pace. "Of course, you could also find someone else to perform the surgery on Westley. After all, you all have power and influence, finding a skilled doctor shouldn’t be difficult. You can even find someone from another country. I’m not the only one who can do this surgery."Leanne grew anxious. "Carter, what do you mean? People's lives are at stake. Can’t you save my cousin first? As long as my cousin is fine, I’ll agree to whatever conditions you put forward."Zachary bypassed Carter and walked away.Frank spoke for Zachary. "Since the head of the Howard family has promised you, there’s no need for me to stay with Mr. Collins."Carter followed, walking out without saying a word, but it felt like he had said something.Leanne chased after them and blocked their way."What do you mean? Are you just going to watch my cousin die?"Zachary understood that Carter’s reluctance was related to the matter of Mandy’s reassignment.But that was something he couldn
