Raymond didn't dare to hide anything and truthfully explained the situation.The phone was instantly hung up. With every beep, he felt like a hammer was striking his heart.By the time he reached the northern helipad, Zachary was already there.He was still wearing the clothes from when he had been taken for questioning.But now they were full of creases, clearly messy.It was obvious he had just gotten home, hadn't seen Jane, and upon hearing the report, he immediately rushed over.However, there were no signs of any helicopter having landed nearby."Wasn't it supposed to be the northern side?"Raymond's lips were trembling. "The helicopter's direction was heading north...""Could they have changed direction midway?" Zachary's voice was as cold as ice.It was sharper than winter winds, painfully piercing."I've already sent people to check the other helipads...""It's raining today, and they were in a hurry to leave. They might not have suddenly changed flight paths, it's
"I said I don’t know. Maybe it was because she knew she wasn't worthy of you, so I left."If this had been before, Zachary would have believed it.But this time, Jane had said she wouldn't leave.Moreover, Raymond had already said that she had been kidnapped.Thud—Zachary knelt in front of his mother, Rebecca.Rebecca was horrified.The members of the Collins family, startled by the commotion in the hospital room, walked to the door and were equally shocked.Zachary bowed his head to Rebecca."I will never forget your kindness in raising me, and the Collins family's nurturing of me. What I did to you just now was wrong. I'm sorry, Mom."As he spoke, he bowed a few more times."You're both getting old, and worrying too much can cause illness. It would be better to find a comfortable and pleasant place to rest properly."Noticing what Zachary was about to do, Madam Collins quickly spoke up, "Don't be impulsive. Let's talk calmly. We really didn't harm Jane. And we've already
Rebecca touched her own neck.Zachary hadn't applied much force, but she felt that just a light squeeze from him in this area made her feel unbearably uncomfortable."The son I painstakingly gave birth to, for the sake of another woman, actually wants to strangle me, his own mother."Madam Collins was fiddling with her bracelet. "If you hadn't been involved in Jane's kidnapping, he wouldn't have laid a hand on you. Thinking back now, Zachary, apart from insisting on Jane, has been doing everything according to our requests. He hasn't started acting arbitrarily just because he gained power. He hasn't been reckless. I regret that I went to talk to Jane yesterday."Rebecca couldn't believe it. "Mom, what are you saying! You can't turn against us. You can't accept Zachary marrying Jane. This hasn't happened yet, but if they get married, everyone will know that Jane is the wife of the head of the Collins family. That will bring Zachary a lot of trouble. She doesn't have the ability to p
That place might not have much of an impact on Zachary.But for a woman, it was truly hell.But right now, there was no point in thinking about it. She spoke, "Since you want to use me to lure Zachary here, you can't just let me freeze to death. I'm soaked through. Give me a coat."Luthor threw her a coat.It wasn't to keep her alive to lure Zachary, since even if she died, Zachary would still find her remains.Keeping her alive was just to give Zachary a surprise.To make Zachary watch his beloved suffer, yet unable to do anything.That would surely be very interesting.When Zachary found out that Luthor hadn't taken the helicopter, he punched through the car window in anger.So much time had passed, from dawn until dusk.Now, it was too late to intercept Luthor.Raymond knelt in front of Zachary.It was his negligence. He hadn't seen through such a simple scheme.Zachary didn't even look at him.Now, they could only follow the trail deliberately left by Luthor.They tr
The word "yes" followed the smoke as it escaped from his nostrils.Charlotte bit her lip, unsure of what to say at the moment.Frank raised his hand and gently pressed her head down, speaking, "Finding Jane is the most important thing right now."When Jane got off the bamboo raft, she was lifted off.She was thrown into the trunk like a pig being tossed aside.She landed heavily with a loud bang. She felt like her bones had broken.The trunk slammed shut, plunging her vision into darkness. The air around her grew thin.She tried to break free from her restraints, but they were tied skillfully. The more she moved, the tighter they became.A sharp pain shot through her wrist, and when she realized it was bleeding, she stopped moving.But the journey felt uneven, and she bounced with the motion.Luckily, she hadn't eaten much before being tied up.If she had thrown up, the enclosed space would've suffocated her.So, when they lifted her out of the trunk, her head was a bit diz
Luthor enjoyed seeing her like this."It's a live stream."On the other side, Zachary's hand trembled, but he gripped the phone tightly.The screen shattered, and he loosened his grip, afraid the phone would break and he wouldn't be able to see Jane.But this way, he couldn't control his strength. His muscles started to stiffen.The wound that had been treated reopened, and blood started flowing again.Frank was worried that his hand would truly be ruined, so he reached out to grab the phone, but was pushed away with force.The shove was so strong that Frank staggered a step back."Do you want to bite me?"Charlotte grabbed his hand and gently ran her fingers over his palm.As a friend, she wanted to tear Luthor into a thousand pieces, let alone Zachary, who loved Jane so much.Frank bent over and whispered in her ear, "If I don’t stop him, he'll lose it in a minute.""Westley still hasn't given a response..."Just as he was speaking, his phone rang.Charlotte tightened h
Luthor withdrew his hand, his gaze sweeping over her abdomen.It was clear he didn't believe her."You really are naive. Being pregnant doesn't mean you can't..." "Didn't you want to crush the Collins family?" Jane quickly interrupted. "You should know how much the Collins family cares about children. When Nina was pregnant, the Collins family didn't let her be part of the family, but they treated her well, providing her with food and drink, all for the sake of her child. If this child calls you 'dad,' don't you think it's the best revenge against the Collins family? You could also use the child to control them."Luthor's expression remained unchanged.But Jane clearly saw a glint of interest flash in his eyes.She pressed on. "For the sake of this child, I'm willing to do anything. This is your leverage over me. No matter what, you won't lose, right?"Luthor wasn't going to fall for Jane's words so easily.He knew better than anyone how capable Zachary was."Fine," he said c
"Can't they just take blood and send it for testing?" he asked.The doctor glanced at Jane's condition and said, "If she really is pregnant, in this state, she'll probably need to be treated in the hospital.""If it's early pregnancy, there's no guarantee the baby will be kept."Luthor immediately picked up Jane and took her to the hospital.Nina originally wanted to stop him.But then she thought, there was nothing wrong with Jane being pregnant.It could be an opportunity to let her experience true hell.Zachary and his group were close to the location where Jane was.Frank received a location sent by Lucifer, along with a picture.He showed it to Charlotte, hesitating whether or not to tell Zachary.In that state, if there was any more stimulation, he might really turn into a madman."This is a good thing," Charlotte suddenly spoke up. Zachary looked over, and she held Frank's hand, turning it so he could see."Going to the hospital means Jane is temporarily fine."How
The second reaction was, could Leanne really take care of him? She was probably just going to send him off on his way to hell.The third reaction was that this might actually be a good opportunity.They could start over from scratch.The fourth...There was no fourth.Westley said, "If it were anyone else, I'd save them too. Jordan, you're not special to me, don't overthink it. Since we're divorced, let's not drag things on. This is what you want, and actually, it's what I want too. Just leave, let's keep some dignity between us. If I have someone ask you to leave, it won't look good. After all, we were once married. Let's just do this for the sake of our grandfathers who are watching over us."Jordan felt her nose tingle, her emotions rising, and the tears were starting to gather.She really didn't like to cry.Especially during confrontations and arguments. It really made her lose her strength.But after holding it back for so long, the tears still fell."I'm not crying bec
In the end, these two babbled for a long time, but there was no real point."Dr. Greyson, I want to ask, what is his condition?"Carter flipped through the medical records in his hands and asked Jordan, "What will you do with this information? Didn't you two get a divorce? Whether he lives or dies has nothing to do with you."Jordan quickly said, "It does. He got injured because of me. If it weren't for me, I wouldn't be asking."Westley was rendered speechless.He saw the amusement that flickered in Carter's eyes.Such a feeling was hard to catch on Carter's face.Moreover, it flashed by so quickly.If it weren't for his sharp eyes, he wouldn't have noticed.‘Nosy bastard,’ thought Westley."If you have something to say, say it. If not, get out and stop acting mysterious." Westley had completely given up. "Even if you make my condition sound worse, I don't need my ex-wife to take care of me. Say whatever you want."The head nurse came looking for Carter, saying that the hos
The fact that Westley was badly injured was something Frank only learned when Carter entered his ward again.He had originally thought that it was just an injury to the back, which would make it difficult for him to get up.But the next morning, Westley still couldn't get up on his own.Jordan had not slept that night. She sat by the hospital bed, watching him.The nurse had even asked her to keep track of the time.Westley couldn't move and had to rely on a catheter.At first, he wanted to send her away because of this.He did all he could, yet she still insisted on staying.But after taking some medicine, he fell into a deep slumber and lost any sense of embarrassment.When he woke up and saw daylight, he quickly tried to get up.He realized he couldn't.Jordan had kept in mind what Carter had said the day before.Carter was a skilled doctor, he was second to none in his field.Although his attitude was cold, there was nothing unnecessary in his words.She had to take e
Westley should have been happy to be able to speak to her so calmly, and for her to stay and take care of him without drawing a clear line between them.But for some reason, he felt like there was a lump in his chest.The mist inside the oxygen mask appeared and disappeared."Jordan, don't do something that makes me misunderstand, or else I..."Jordan interrupted him. "The injury you took for me, it's only right that I take care of you. Don't overthink it. I remember all your kindness, and I will repay it, but don't think you can use this kindness to make me remarry you. You can bring up anything else, but not that."Westley never planned to use this kindness as leverage.Hadn't he learned enough from the past?If he didn't start using his brain to pursue her, how could he possibly win her back?"Don't worry. What you're afraid of will never happen. What I want is for you to willingly remarry me. Right now, I don't need your care. Just go."Jordan became stubborn as well. If s
In the ward.Just as Jordan was about to approach the bed, she suddenly stopped.Her doe-like eyes were still glistening with tears.Her face was full of worry.But for some reason, her feet wouldn't move.A long time passed.Long enough for her thoughts to wander far away.From when she first arrived at the Howard family, to the breakdown of her relationship with Westley, then to the divorce, and now, Westley was lying in the hospital bed.His face was covered by an oxygen mask, and with each breath, a thin mist appeared and disappeared.Jordan had never seen Westley look so vulnerable.He rarely got sick.With his background, no one had ever given him a hard time.The times when he had to be hospitalized seemed to always be because of her.She had been rejected by Westley when she confessed, and later, when they married, she had been neglected for three years. She had been angry, resentful.She had even scolded him harshly.But now, thinking back on it.What had Westl
Jordan didn't have much interaction with Carter, and there wasn't much to say.She anxiously waited outside the emergency room.She held her phone but didn't know who to call.It was Frank who heard the news and rushed over with Charlotte.Charlotte hugged Jordan. "It's okay, don't be afraid."Jordan seemed to find an outlet for her emotions and started speaking in broken sentences to Charlotte about what had just happened."It's all my fault... If it weren't for me..."Charlotte listened while gently patting her back to comfort her."It's not your fault. You did the right thing. They were hurting endangered wild animals, and it was their fault. It's illegal.""But he always protected me, even when he fell..."Their relationship was too complicated.Getting to this point wasn't something that could be explained in just a few sentences.Charlotte didn't feel she had the right to judge anything. She could only comfort Jordan for now. "Personally, I think, as a man, and as som
Jordan poked her head out of Westley's embrace and found that they had been surrounded.Perhaps they thought they couldn't escape, and after throwing that club, they didn't continue attacking.The weak man clapped his hands, and the sarcasm in his voice was clear. "I love watching the desperate lovers' drama. Once I tie the male up, I'll let him watch as the female gets sold off. The look of despair on her face will be just so satisfying."‘Pervert,’ Jordan cursed inwardly.She knew this wasn't the time for arguing.She also regretted coming here.At the same time, she felt relieved that Jane and Charlotte had already left."Sorry..." she apologized to Westley.No matter how their relationship had broken down or how things had been before.Right now, it was indeed her fault.If she hadn't been so stubborn, unable to accept help, she wouldn't have dragged him into danger with her.Most importantly, she had finally gotten a divorce from Westley.She really didn't want to get
The frail man sneered. "So naive. Why don't you sit here with me, I'll make sure to sell it to you at a good price. If you're a virgin..."Before he could finish his sentence, a heavy punch landed on his lecherous face.Westley struck again and again, twisting the frail man's face with each blow.Blood poured out, and two of his teeth were left behind in the blood.The sight of the red blood in Westley's dark pupils made Jordan feel a chill, and she could see the murderous rage in his eyes.She quickly stepped forward to stop him."Wes..."She was about to call his name but remembered the place.She couldn't expose her identity here.She quickly changed her tone. "Uncle Westley, please stop hitting him!"Westley's fierce expression faltered.In that moment of distraction, someone swung a club at her. He instinctively pulled her into his arms."Ugh!"The club hit his broad back and snapped instantly, showing the force behind the blow.Westley didn't even want to imagine wh
She rubbed her face, suddenly feeling a bit scared.What if something happened to her? What would Frank do? What about Sparrow? And her mother?"Sorry."Frank poured her a glass of water, soothingly rubbing her neck."Why are you apologizing? You haven't done anything wrong."Charlotte took a sip of the water and asked, "Do you know what happened back there?""I'm not entirely sure. I haven't been to the black market much, but this shop has been around for a long time. People have asked about it before, but I haven't seen them since."Frank noticed she was trembling and pulled her into his embrace.He explained and comforted her. "I heard it's related to the ancient sorcery from Milast. The key lies in that piece of clothing, but how it works is unclear. Don't worry. I'll look into it. You should rest well for the next couple of days."Charlotte suddenly remembered. "Did Jordan catch up with us?"Frank squeezed her neck tightly, almost as a punishment."Have you forgotten ab
