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
Bruce pondered the situation as he exited his Young Master’s office, he wondered if they were doing the right thing. He was already having doubts because it was him who had reported to Ethan and he wouldn’t be able to bear the guilt if he had indeed missed something.But he had to obey the Young Master’s order for now or his head would be absent from the rest of his body before dawn.As he went down the stairs, Cassidy emerged from the closed off balcony beside Ethan’s study. She hid her victorious smirk and entered the study.“Ethan, how are you feeling?” She put on a look of worry as she attempted to walk behind his desk but he pinned her with his sharp gaze and she froze.“I would appreciate some quiet in my study, Cassidy. I have work to do.”“Of course, just let me know if you need anything,” she retraced her steps and sashayed to the door then turned to look at him again.“And I’m always here if you need to speak to someone.”Ethan watched as she shut the door behind her before l
Jane stared at Brock Davenport as she struggled to ask for help, she didn’t want anything that would make her feel like she owed him.“Jane? What’s the matter? Do you need something?” He asked as he stared back at her.“Senior, I’m really very sorry to ask but can I use your phone? I don’t know what is wrong with mine, it’s not working.”“My phone? You want to call your husband?”“Yes, my phone isn’t working at all and I’m even more worried. I don’t know how he is or if he’s better now.”Her words became more panicked as she spoke.“Oh, I’m sorry but that isn’t possible. You can’t use my phone.”“Eh? But… why? Did I do something wrong over the night?”He chuckled, “No, I don’t have phone access either. My grandfather made sure of that.”“What? No house phones either? That’s just mean, what if something happened to you in this foreign country?”“It’s alright, he thought about all of that so I’m fine.”“Still…” she sighed, rich people were just built differently. If only she knew that he
Bruce walked into the mansion with wide strides and met Cassidy in the living room. He nodded perfunctorily at her and continued up the flight of stairs to his Young Master’s study.He knocked and opened the door as Ethan responded.“Good evening, Young Master,” he greeted with his head bowed as he got ready for the questioning.“Where were you, Bruce? I was informed that you took your personal car as soon as you left.”Ethan raised his eyes from the files on his desk and pinned Bruce with a deep gaze.“I had no intention of activating the tracker because I knew you would tell me yourself… so?”“Yes, Young Master. I… went to the Young Mistress’s school.” Bruce was aware his Young Master was even more paranoid now that he believed the Young Mistress had left him for Young Master Davenport.Ethan’s eyes narrowed at the mention of Jane, it seemed she had taken the loyalty of even his right hand and he hated that he felt powerless against that because it was his fault. “School? What for?
