Chapter 808

Author: Lean
Roy certainly didn’t dare to hide anything. He hadn’t said everything before because he wanted Zachary to calm down first.

If he had reported truthfully earlier, Zachary might have really killed Nina.

But just as he was about to speak, Rebecca called for the bodyguards to take Nina to the hospital.

Zachary didn’t even glance at her and signaled for Roy to continue.

However, Rebecca spoke up first. “Dr. Travis said the child might not be able to survive. You need to come with me to the hospital now.”

Zachary recalled something and called Prof. Kilburn.

Prof. Kilburn happened to have just finished a special consultation with a patient that day.

After receiving Zachary’s call, he took a moment to respond before arranging for relevant specialists to come.

“If he directly intervenes in the abortion procedure, it could be done to leave some tissue for paternity testing.”

Upon hearing that testing was possible, Zachary asked, “Why didn’t you mention this before?”

    Frank cocked his brows. “Indeed, you’ve made quite a few enemies. Not looking for her this time is the best protection for her.” Zachary recalled the incident when Jane nearly drowned. If he truly used his connections to find Jane, it would only push her into danger—that was an undeniable fact. With the news of his wedding to Nina circulating, many were already investigating its authenticity. Now that he had canceled the wedding, if he then made a big show of searching for Jane, all attention would shift to her. After thinking it over, he said succinctly, “Mom, the wedding will proceed as planned.” Rebecca was taken aback. Eric was also confused. “Why the sudden decision to hold the wedding again?” Zachary’s urgency to have Prof. Kilburn perform the surgery and conduct paternity tests clearly indicated he wanted to sever ties with Nina quickly. They had been pleased that Zachary had broken up with Jane and that they could swiftly resolve the Nina situation, m

    Hearing this, Rebecca pondered for a moment and understood. She was dissatisfied. “It’s all your fault for giving him a direction.” Eric also realized this, and for someone usually serious, he appeared momentarily at a loss. “I didn’t want him to look for Jane anymore, but who knew his mind could turn so quickly?” Suddenly, Rebecca felt a swell of pride. “Of course, just look whose son he is.” Eric retorted mercilessly, “Yes, you gave birth to him. And now, for a woman, he’s willing to throw away the Collins family. What do you plan to do about it, Mrs. Collins?” Rebecca had no plan at that moment. Zachary had grown up, unlike his childhood, he was no longer easily deceived, and he could hold his ground. “I suspect that there’s something going on when Frank mentioned giving Zachary a big gift. It’s probably the truth about Nina’s pregnancy. Zachary holding the wedding is meant to expose Nina’s actions under everyone’s gaze, causing her backlash,” said Eric. Rebecca fel

    Zachary seemed to ignore her changing expression and did not expose her poor acting skills.He pulled over a chair and sat down.Nina was stunned for a while before she came back to her senses.But she didn’t ask anything, only spoke with a choked voice filled with grievance, “Zachary, our child is gone…”Zachary responded with a soft nod.Nina continued, “The doctor said I’ll never be able to bear children again.”He replied again with a simple nod.Nina didn’t fully understand Zachary's personality.This time, she managed to manipulate him because she saw how much he cared about Jane and found a chance.Before the child was lost, he had already mentioned canceling the engagement.Now that she had lost her leverage, she couldn’t understand why he was still willing to marry her.Did he think there was no evidence?The child was gone, if she insisted it was Zachary’s, he would never be able to get rid of her…She couldn't figure it out, but she wasn't foolish enough to brin

    “Then they start to confess.”Nina finally grasped something.She didn’t say anything more and silently finished the sandwiches before lying down with her back to Zachary.So that was it.He wanted her to take the bullet for Jane.Since Jane had drowned, his enemies had already discovered his beloved.Zachary’s weaknesses were hard to find, it was rare to have one, so how could he let it go?Originally, news of their wedding plans had already leaked out.Many had tested the waters in recent days, and some even found out that she had been to the hospital’s obstetrics department.By then, Jane broke up with Zachary.If Zachary had been looking for her openly, that would have been fine.But he didn’t look for her and went ahead with the wedding as planned.Now everyone would think that the rumors about his true love were true.Perhaps some would even think that Zachary’s search for Jane was a smokescreen to protect her.After that, all the arrows would be aimed at her.It w

    “Madam Hall, please don’t get upset.” Jane stepped forward and gently patted Madam Hall’s chest. “You can’t get too emotional. Let us resolve our matters ourselves, for now, let’s eat.”Madam Hall could hardly eat, looking at Michael with some disappointment. “Are you trying to infuriate me?”Michael knelt before Madam Hall. “Grandma, please don’t be mad. Can I resolve this matter with Jane ourselves?”His kneeling made Jane feel a bit awkward.After all, it was her fault for not controlling herself and mentioned the matter to Madam Hall.If something happened to Madam Hall because of this, she was definitely responsible.“Grandma, let us talk about this ourselves. I’ll bring the food into the room, and you can eat alone, okay?”Madam Hall sighed and shot Michael a glare, allowing Jane to support her into her bedroom.Jane brought the food inside, and when she came back out, Michael was still kneeling.“Are you kneeling to me? Come on, I can’t accept this. Go get some wine, le

    “But Zachary…” Jane seemed unable to find the right words to express her feelings. After a moment of thought, she said, “He… is different.”There was a hint of bitterness in her smile.“My breakup with him wasn’t just because of Nina. It was also because I felt I didn’t have the courage to go against the whole world with him. Because I loved him, I didn’t want him to become an enemy of his family and the world just because of me. He started off as a fine young man, but in the end, he would have nothing. Michael, since you said you like me, I think you can understand what I mean.”Listening to her confession about Zachary, Michael felt a pang of pain in his heart.But he believed that Jane was suffering even more.From the moment he met her, she had always been vibrant and radiant.Like a bird soaring freely, only finding a branch to rest on when she was tired.After resting, she would continue to embrace the sky.No one could make her stop flying.But now, she was here, expres

    After listening, Zachary asked in a cold voice, “Abroad?”Ronan nodded. “We traced the call and found it was from a public phone booth.”“Since it didn’t get through and there’s no surveillance, we can’t determine who Nina contacted.”Zachary furrowed his brows but didn’t linger on this minor issue.He tidied himself up and went downstairs, only to be stopped by his parents.His grandparents were also present.It was yet another intense family meeting.He sat down on a single sofa, crossing his long legs and idly twirling a lighter in his hand.He didn’t speak.After a moment of silence in the living room, it was Rebecca who broke the ice.“Zachary, the child’s not yours. You should already know that, right?”“Yep.”“What are your plans then?”“What plans?”Zachary’s indifferent demeanor didn’t anger the Collins family. Since he had always been like this growing up, they felt it was a good thing—rational, detached, and careful, not swayed by emotions.Who would have th

    Nina truly didn’t expect Zachary to visit her ward.However, she soon managed to pull a hint of mockery from within.For Jane, Zachary was willing to do anything.“Zachary, I don’t want to hold a wedding with you.”Zachary was peeling an apple, the knife dancing between his long fingers, leaving a vivid pattern on the fruit.Upon hearing this, the man didn’t even look up.His expression remained calm, focused solely on the apple.Nina could only see a girl-like face.But she didn’t care what he was carving, nor did she want to know.“I know you want me to be a shield to protect Jane, but I don’t want that.”Zachary set the apple down on the side table, his pale fingers still gripping the fruit knife.A slight movement caused the blade to gleam coldly.“What’s wrong? Weren’t you the one who would do whatever it takes to marry me?”Zachary’s lips barely curved into a faint smile. “Marrying me always comes at a painful cost. Unfortunately, it’s too late for you to realize thi

    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

    Jordan had eaten and drunk enough and was about to return to her room.Westley called out to her."Wait a moment."Jordan ignored him and kept on walking.But Westley grabbed her arms and she was pulled back.She lost her balance and fell into the man's arms.As she fell, she instinctively reached out to support herself.She felt something change under her hand.Jordan jumped up as if she had been burned.She forgot there was a grill nearby, and as she was about to fall into it, she was pulled away by a force.She only heard a series of cracking sounds, and she landed on something soft but firm.When she looked closely, it was Westley's chest. She was in his arms, and his tall frame was completely shielding her.Before she could react, Buck and the others arrived.The area was crowded."Quick, put out the fire!""Call a doctor. Don’t move Mr. Howard. Help Mrs. Howard up."Jordan was stunned as she was pulled up.It was then that she saw the scene on the ground.The gr

    Frank took the soup from her hands and drank it in a few gulps.Then he pulled her into his arms and kissed her passionately.It had been several days since they had been close like this.The heat built up quickly.By the time Charlotte reacted, she was already lying on the bed.She covered his mouth and gently pushed him away a little."Let's finish talking about the important things.""This is the important thing," Frank said as he moved her hand away and pressed it on top of her head. He bent down and started unbuttoning her blouse."Frank..."Charlotte's voice was broken by his actions.After several days of separation, his movements were obviously more intense.She couldn't hold back, and the corners of her eyes filled with tears, as the wave of emotions overwhelmed her...Zachary set the food on the dining table and went to the bedroom to carry Jane out.But Jane wanted to walk by herself, and Zachary helped her sit down.Jane picked up her cutlery and started eatin
