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
She was also thinking about how to keep delaying things.Nina sat on the sofa, waiting for the test results.Luthor sat next to the hospital bed.Jane felt like a bird in a cage, even if she banged her head against the bars until it bled, she still couldn't fly out of the cage.Besides, these two cold-hearted people wouldn't soften their hearts just because they saw her crash against the bars.She slowly and subtly untied the rope on her foot.She spoke up, "I need to use the bathroom."Luthor got up to carry her, but she refused. "I can walk by myself."But he still picked her up.When he placed her on the toilet, he stayed standing next to her."Aren't you going to leave?""I'm not leaving."Jane really wanted to roll her eyes, but she held back and said, "There's only one door, no windows, and you're blocking it. How am I supposed to escape?""I have diarrhea, and you're just going to stand here and watch me?"She felt disgusted even saying it, but he didn't even flinc
Jane thought this kind of statement was problematic."You two have known each other since childhood, longer than I have, and understand each other more deeply. If you wanted to get married, you could have done so long ago. Why did you have to wait for me to appear before marrying?"She had been young before, and Nina didn't have the ability to shake the foundation of the Collins family.So, she went abroad, working hard to expand her influence and develop.She even sacrificed everything, just to gain the power to stand on equal footing with the Collins family.She wanted them to have no way to stop her from marrying Zachary.But when she worked hard to return, Jane had already beaten her to the punch, disrupting all her plans.What was even more hateful was that a cheap woman could win Zachary's heart, but she couldn’t."Because you deserve it."Jane was speechless."I never stopped you. After you returned, I even broke up with Zachary. If you two didn't get together, you can
Jane dodged a bullet, and another explosion rang in her ears.She was pulled into a familiar, warm embrace.But the smell of gunpowder and blood immediately filled her nose."Zachary!"Zachary patted her head, soothing her. "It's okay."His voice was hoarse, how could it be okay?Jane dropped what she was holding and quickly wrapped her arms around him.In front of them, Roy had already subdued Luthor, Nina, and the others.However, in the chaos, they hadn't expected Luthor to still be able to shoot with his left hand.Zachary had blocked the shot with his body.Frank arrived shortly after, and upon seeing the situation, he rushed to call for a doctor and pushed a mobile stretcher over.He contacted Westley. "Contact the Greyson Infirmary, preferably Carter Greyson."Westley had close ties with the Greyson family.When he learned that Zachary had been shot, he personally went to ask Carter to treat Zachary.He also arranged a private jet to take them to the hospital.At
"Apply some medicine."Charlotte looked at Jane's condition and paused before saying, "Call a nurse over."Frank sent someone to do that.Soon, a nurse from Cheria arrived.She didn't say much, almost nothing at all.She carefully treated Jane's wounds.Finally, she said, "She can't keep wearing wet clothes. Her skin feels a bit warm to me. She might be burning up with a fever."Frank nodded slightly.He knew that Charlotte had heard her."She can go change in the room next door.""You should change too."Charlotte had brought some clothes with her when she came on a business trip to Nelana. When she found out Jane had been kidnapped, she rushed over immediately.She had brought her suitcase along as well.Jane and Charlotte had similar builds, so wearing her clothes wouldn't be a problem.But given the situation, Jane might not want to change."You can't collapse now. I know you'll want to take care of Zachary, right?"Jane glanced at Charlotte, her voice still carryin
"You have a lot of time now since you don’t need to attend meetings, Mr. Collins."Eric had never considered that Zachary would grow this strong.He had never imagined that Zachary could push him into early retirement.Since didn’t have to go to work, he now had time to deal with Zachary and Jane's situation."Frank, you're close to Zachary, but this is a family matter. It's not convenient for you to get involved.""I'm not involved." Frank put his hands in his pockets and spoke in his usual laid-back tone. "If Mrs. Collins hit Jane, my wife will be upset. When my wife is upset, I'm the one who failed to care for her. So, how can this be just a matter for the Collins family?"Frank was always good at twisting words, and Eric didn't want to argue further.He tugged at Rebecca, signaling her to calm down.At that moment, with both Frank and Charlotte present, they couldn't do anything to Jane.Rebecca was not happy, glaring at Jane. "Are you satisfied now? Do you want him to be
"What, what does that mean?""It’s possible that he might end up in a coma. Be prepared.""How could that be…"Eric quickly supported Rebecca. He was relatively calm. "Is there no way?"Carter shook his head and walked towards Westley. "If he doesn't wake up within a month, we’ll have to call my sister-in-law for acupuncture."Westley’s gaze flickered. He turned to Frank and said, "I’ll have him stay here first."Frank nodded, but didn’t have time to tell Charlotte.Then they heard her scream, "Jane—"Jane had fainted.There was a burst of chaos.While Carter was treating Jane, Frank pulled Charlotte aside and whispered something to her.Charlotte couldn’t focus her mind. "What does this mean? Is Zachary pretending to be unconscious?""Not sure."Frank thought back to Zachary’s condition at the time and felt that the chance of him waking up during the surgery was low.It was most likely that after the surgery, he had been worried about Jane and woke up for a short time, s
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
