The Substitute’s Redemption Chapter 62
Professor Sam couldn't repress a smile. He had seen all this play out before. He could tell that Brock Davenport and Darren Leister – two of his top students – liked Jane. Her academics were not bad, but she seemed overly focused on studying; too dense to be aware of such emotional nuances. It was hard to say who would win the pretty girl's heart in the end.####After her shift ended, Jane quickly packed her things and went to look for Darren Leister. At the end of the corridor, she saw a tall, straight backed man standing by the window.Rays of sunlight bathed his face, highlighting its youthful lines. Jane quickened her steps and walked up to him. “Senior, I have a favor to ask of you.”Darren Leister looked at Jane smiling brightly, as though it were the result of the sunlight. He couldn't help but inch closer to her, their proximity filling him with a steadily growing warmth.“Go ahead. What is it?”“I want to attend the traditional medicine club to learn some skills," she said, e

Jane must have played some tricks on him for a noble man like Ethan Harrington to endure degrees and smoke of the kitchen to help her with her cooking.Jane was an efficient worker, in half an hour she had prepared three dishes and a soup. She called Cassidy and Bruce over for dinner.But Ethan said, “They already had their dinner. Come, let's eat.”“Bruce, Dr Owen, you both have eaten?” Jane asked, puzzled.Cassidy hadn't had dinner yet, but Bruce answered for her.“Yes, Young Mistress. We ate together earlier. Do enjoy your meal. Call us if you need anything.”Cassidy glared at him. She had not eaten so why would he say otherwise?Bruce shot in look, warning her not to air her grievances in front of them. Helplessly Cassidy bit her anger back and let him lead her out.####When they reached the courtyard, Bruce made sure that Jane hadn't followed them before informing her.“Dr Owen, you are still new here so you might not understand how things work out. In the future, whenever the Yo

Jane's eyes lit up. “You have to take off your clothes.”“Would you mind that?” he asked, smiling.“Of course not," she said without a trace of humor. “You are devoting yourself to the study of medicine!”He nodded, matching her seriousness. “Help me take them off then.”Jane immediately helped him take off his jacket and shirt. The light shone down on his muscles, accentuating their sculpted well-defined lines. Jane’s face turned red. Just by looking at him, she felt that something was wrong. Her husband was ill. How could he be so muscular? It didn't make sense.“Dear, you cough just from being out in the wind. How did you manage to train your muscles?”Ethan was caught off guard by her question. Had he shot himself in the foot?Ethan was about to explain himself when Jane said, “You are really self-reliant, dear. You still force yourself to train even though it's difficult. You are amazing.”He nodded in agreement.“It must be very challenging when you exercise.” Jane felt heartache

She let her eyes wander over his jaw, tilted towards the side of his chest where his heart rested. She was happy to be married to a man who doted on her. He wasn't handsome, or healthy, but he was trying to heal, and so far his treatment was going well. He was hers – as long as he was alive, he was hers. She was a lucky woman indeed.In the middle of the night, Ethan was woken up by the heat. He lifted the blanket and looked at the woman in his arms, then got out of bed and went straight to the bathroom. Whenever he hugged her to sleep, he would be a little restless but his body's reaction felt off.The areas where Jane had rubbed the essential oil felt like they were on fire. He frowned. Was this the result of his wife's treatment? If so, the effects were certainly pronounced.He had to take a cold shower for more than ten minutes before he recovered. He returned to his room, not daring to hug Jane again. However, his wife was in a daze, as if she were looking for him. She rolled over

“Gone abroad for treatment?” Jane was even more worried. Last night, she had even foolishly waited for him to come back to bed. If only he had said he wasn't feeling well, she could have gone with him!“Don't worry. It will be fine.”Jane eyed her. If my husband needs treatment, Dr Owen, why aren't you with him?”A flicker danced across Cassidy's gaze and she nearly choked in her haste to explain herself.“Bruce didn't call me because he was rushing to get an air ticket. But it also means that Ethan's condition isn't too serious so he didn't have to bring me along.”Jane was relieved to hear that her husband's condition wasn't critical, but she was still very worried. She ate her breakfast listlessly, scarcely tasting her food.Cassidy took pleasure in her low spirits.“I told you Ethan will be fine, Jane. Why are you still so worried? Are you afraid that he will fool around with other women when he's gone?”Jane glanced that her and said dully, ‘What is there to be afraid of? He can't

He was puzzled. Was she angry? Feeling a little frustrated, he called Cassidy to inquire about his wife.“I've been trying to reach you” Cassidy said when she picked up. Jane wasn't in the best mood this morning. She went out and isn't home yet. It's so late, is it safe for a girl like her to be out alone?”“Did she pick up when you called her?” Ethan instantly sounded anxious.“No.” Cassidy sounded worried but she was secretly overjoyed. Jane had gone to W County with no address to go to, she must be panicking. Cassidy wondered what would happen to her…Ethan hung up, his expression troubled. He called Bruce over and ordered him to find out where his wife was.After asking around Jane's school, Bruce found out that Jane and Ivy left together after school, then he got in contact with a puzzled Ivy.“She booked a flight to W County yesterday. She should have reached it a long time ago!”Bruce’s scalp tingled. Are you sure she went to W County?”“What do you mean?” Ivy felt that somethin

“It's been hard on you Jane. I will take you to rest after you've treated your wound.”“No thank you, Senior. I want to find my husband first.” Jane went to the front desk to ask if there was a patient named Ethan Harrington.When Brock Davenport heard her utter Ethan Harrington's name, he looked at her with heartache. So she had only come to look for that cripple Ethan Harrington. He nearly turned around and left but when he saw her face etched with worry, complete with her injured arm, his heart softened.“I will help you look for him, Jane.”“The two of them looked around and checked the hospital records but they found no trace of Ethan Harrington.Brock Davenport comforted her with the suggestion that her husband wasn't in this hospital. He would take her to treat her wound and then go to his place to rest for a while. Otherwise even if she found her husband she will be in no clear position to take care of him if she was unwell herself.Jane felt depressed but there was nothing els

Bruce followed Ethan into the mansion and met an obviously fidgety Cassidy in the living room who hopped off the couch immediately as they walked in.“Did you find her?” she asked Ethan as she stepped towards them but he brushed past her and went up the stairs to the room, his posture stiff and gait brisk.She turned to Bruce with a questioning gaze, “What happened in W county?”Bruce cleared his throat as he eyed the direction which his Young Master had exited.“It would seem, Dr Owen, that the Young Mistress has gone to Young Master Davenport in W County.”“Gone?” She echoed, “Pardon me but I don’t think I understand what you just said… Jane loves Ethan very much so that has to be some sort of misunderstanding.”Bruce sighed, “I wish it was but unfortunately it isn’t. Young Master Ethan found her at the Davenport mansion in W county, asleep in Young Master Davenport’s bed.”Cassidy gasped in disbelief, “I can’t believe this! After everything Ethan has done for her? Did Young Master D

Jane woke up in an abandoned warehouse north of the city.Because the wedding was tomorrow, Jane had been resting very early recently and even slept in separate rooms with Ethan.Ever since they started having sex, her husband's self-control seemed to evaporate every night, as if he wanted to make up for years of deprivation.It drained Jane of her energy, leaving her unable to wake up the next morning. Ivy had laughed about it at her expense for a long time.However, Jane did not expect to receive a call from the old folks' home the day before her wedding. They had said that her grandmother was dying and wanted to see her for the last time.After careful consideration, Jane decided to grant her request. Ethan had been very busy recently as most of his businesses were conducted domestically now.Now, Ethan had changed and was stepping into new shoes as a new man, so Jane chose to pop down and come back without disturbing him.Unexpectedly, as soon as she stepped into the ward, her gra

Jane was stunned silly, his father had gone that far?“Jane?...”“Continue, I'm listening. How did he even know her in the first place?”“He had an ulterior motive that he didn't want to handle directly so when Claire orchestrated the accident that took the Owens' lives, he secretly contacted her and threatened her with it.”“She was only too ready to comply with his orders. Claire had initially thought that Cassidy and I would be married when we were older and she apparently… liked me.”“So she figured marrying me as Cassidy would solve that for her but you came into the picture, she was receptive to my father's orders.”“He had told her to get you out of the house in anyway possible and he would take it from there…”“So?”“He arranged the robbery… when your passport was stolen. You would be stuck there if you didn't have it.”“He had arranged for you to meet Brock Davenport at the hospital so he would take you with him…”“Hold on, so Brock knew?”“He was in on it because my father p

Ethan's eyes went wide, Bruce put his hands on his head and Arnold stumbled a bit.The officer finally decided he had had enough and left after tucking the speeding ticket into Bruce's pocket. He shook his head and mumbled, “Rich people and their problems”.When he had come out to work today, he had not expected to see the drama from the novellas his wife always watched in real life.The other guards stood by silently, watching and wishing they had not given in to this Young Miss. She wouldn't have been able to come here on her own.Jane clenched her fists and finally decided she had had enough and she let her words out without filtering them one bit.“Now listen here, you poor excuse of a noblesse daughter,” Everyone's eyes went wide, “I do not care where you have come from, your money, title or none of that shit.”“That is all you will say in front of me. You open your gutter and utter one more word, I will make sure to give you what your abductors did not.”“A new facial reconstruc

Jane sneered at the television in disdain and picked up her phone to call Bruce.When he finally picked up, she stated abruptly, “Tell your Young Master not to come back!”“He should not set foot in the villa. I have changed the passcode so he shouldn't bother with anything.”__________Bruce was stunned and immediately walked up to Ethan who was on his way out after the conference was done.“Young Master, the Young Madam called.”A smile bloomed on his stoic face at the mention of his Jane.“She said not to bother coming back and that she has changed the passcode of the villa.”Ethan's smile fell and an overwhelming sense of panic set in, he ran off to the parking lot with Bruce hot on his tail, both ignoring the calls of Cassidy.He got to the car and frantically gestured for Arnold to unlock it. They both got in with a confused but alert Arnold wondering what the problem was.“To the villa, as fast as you can go!”Arnold started the car and raced out of the parking lot, no one noti

Ethan opened his eyes first and glanced at the alarm clock on his own bedside table. It read 6:00am, he turned to admire his wife with her hair fanned out on the pillow.Smiling at the memory of last night, he tucked a stray lock of hair away from her face. It had taken some time and serious work to convince her but he did.He had to go pick up Cassidy from the abductors’ den. His guards had infiltrated the den the night before and rounded them up in minutes.They were no match for these ones as they were former mercenaries he had given shelter, a job and a new life.Ethan got up reluctantly to take a shower. All he wanted to do was stay with his little wife in bed and cuddle.He would have that soon enough, bringing back the annoying little critter was more important at the moment since his jet was more convenient than a commercial flight.Shooting Bruce a text to pick him up, he then proceeded to accessorize before planting two kisses on her lips and forehead.He left once Bruce let

Jane's eyes fluttered open and the soreness of her lady bits hit her like a train, she recalled what had happened and blushed. She had finally consummated her marriage.The rumbling of her stomach jolted her from her thoughts, she was hungry. She sniffed the air and smiled, he was in the kitchen.She had a quick shower and tip toed out of the room, she peeked into the kitchen and watched her husband's back muscles ripple as he plated the pasta he just cooked.“Jane, baby, get over here and sit. I can feel your eyes on my back,” he chuckled and she scrunched her nose as she blushed in embarrassment.“That's impossible, how did you know?” She took a seat at the kitchen island and beamed at her plate.“I heard you close the bedroom door. Letting the door close noisily is not exactly wise if you were trying to sneak up on me.”He pinched her cheeks still rosy from her shower. She dug into the pasta with gusto, moaning at the first bite.Ethan swallowed as his brain fed him with flashbacks

Ethan kissed her again and laid her down on the messy covers. Leaning forward, he let his mouth linger on the shell of her ear, his breath tickling her neck.Jane shuddered at his touch, eyes bright and hazy with the eagerness to learn and desire pooling in her belly.He lightly traced her jawline with his nose, enjoying the way her breath hitched.Jane felt she could burst into flames at any moment, feeling goosebumps spread down her neck and chest. He had barely touched her but she was ready to melt into a puddle.Ethan wasted no time sinking his hand into the hair at the nape of her neck with a mild grip. His free hand slipped around her body and palmed her ass as his lips hovered barely an inch over hers, making her moan into his mouth.It felt like he was everywhere at once and all she could do was hold onto him and take it. Then his mouth travelled down her neck, sucking and nipping, she was now practically panting.Ethan sunk to his knees by the bed in front of her, tugging at

The cops tried to talk her out of it as she backed the exit and attempted to leave with the hostage but was quickly immobilized by two bullets from a Ruger SR22.Shot on target by a retired female general and shattered her kneecaps.She was quickly dragged out and calm was restored within the shocked guests.“I would like to state that the real Cassidy Owen is safe and will be returning soon, that's all.”Ethan walked out amidst shouts for interview requests from the reporters and stunned silence from the rest of the audience.Only the comments from the live stream was active even after he left.He rushed to the car and settled in, thinking of how cool he must have looked.“Take me to the villa instead, and don't wait. I will be sleeping with my wife today.”Bruce and Arnold glanced at each other, understanding their Young Master's intentions so when they dropped him off in front of the gates of the villa, they shouted some encouraging words.“Take care, Young Master. You have to do i

There was an uproar both at the event and in the comment section of the live stream. The directors stood stunned at his statement and the reporters began taking pictures and video cameras were focused on the people at the doors of the vault.Jane went mute in front of the television while Ivy screamed in surprise.Cassidy went pale in fear and horror but composed herself and tried to defend herself.“Mr. Harrington, we have been friends for many years but I do not think I like this joke.”“Friends? I have no recollection of ever being friends with a wannabe imposter. That is extremely beneath me and very insulting.”“Mr. Harrington,” the older director, Mr Jenkins, called out to him, “You do realize that you can't just say things like this…”“Oh I can, because I've known my friend since childhood and that… is not my friend.”“Ethan, if this is about what happened at your house with your wife… I apologize. However, you can't disrupt my inauguration because you want to be petty…”“Petty
