All Chapters of The Substitute’s Redemption : Chapter 101 - Chapter 110

Guilt surged through Ethan when he remembered what she had been through, and it was even made worse by her telling him not to kiss her.He put his arms around her and kissed her again, heedless of her words. He was so afraid of losing her that it was the only way he could be reassured of her presence.He was especially terrified that she would leave him because of his bad temper.“I can only get better if you kiss me, Jane. You cannot abandon me.”“No, no, no, I meant… I am still sick…”Jane thought about her husband's health; what if she passed her virus to him?She just had not expected Ethan to kiss her so eagerly - so desperately. She said and patted him comfortingly.It was as good as a silent invitation to her husband. Gratification rolled through him. How he wished he could claim her right now and tell her how much he loved her.When night came, two of them slept in the hospital bed together. Jane leaned into her husband's arms and discussed when she would be discharged.Ethan h

“No, that gentleman is just a friend of mine. This is my husband”, Jane explained.Miranda Winston had the grace to feel very embarrassed but quickly composed herself.“I am sorry. Earlier, I thought your husband was very handsome. I did not expect him to be… uh… such a fine man.” Miranda Winston saw Ethan in his wheelchair and wanted to offer him some polite praise, but when she noticed his scarred face, her eyes darted away, unable to lie outright.She had no idea what a beautiful, young lady like Jane saw in her husband. She had thought, at first, that it was probably money. But Jane didn't seem the type.Well, he may not have had these challenges before they got married, she thought. She liked Jane even more because in today's world, some ladies would have left the marriage.She caught herself and realized she had not been a good host for leaving them standing at the door.To relieve the awkwardness, she invited them to tea.Jane looked at her husband with a silent question and he

They arranged to have dinner with the artist in a mansion so luxurious that it could have passed for a palace.Jane walked in and heard lively music. She saw many people wearing masks and looked at Bruce in confusion.Bruce was also confused. Silas Maverick did not say that they were here for a masquerade party – only a meal. It was obvious that they had been tricked by him. He went to find three masks for them.“Hey, hey… you guys are here!” A man approached them wearing a vampire mask and a smile.“I did not believe it when I heard that you were married.”He placed his hands on Ethan's wheelchair and looked at Jane who was wearing a cat mask.With a faint smirk, he whispered, “Your little kitten has a good figure. Why are you hiding her even after the wedding? Afraid someone will snatch her away?”“Me? Afraid?” Ethan replied calmly.“You could not snatch her away even if you tried.”Ethan's smirk was very confident.Silas Maverick raised his eyebrows at the other man’s assured tone,

When Silas Maverick closed the door, the room suddenly fell into darkness. Shocked, Jane grabbed Ethan's hand.“Why is it so dark?”“We are watching a movie,” he told her comfortingly, “Of course it will be dark. We will be fine.”Silas Maverick liked to play games but he was not malicious – as Ethan well knew.Jane sat down and took off her mask as a beautiful romance film began to play.“The atmosphere here is perfectly suited to watching a movie,” she said quietly.“It is so luxurious, it must be very expensive.”“Do you like it, Jane?”“I do.”Jane covered her mouth and giggled, helping herself to the snacks as she watched the movie.Ethan mused that if she liked it, he could build a room just like this in his own mansion.“Dear, I am a little warm. How about you?” Jane tugged at her clothes, sweat beading on her forehead from the heat.Ethan switched on the aircon. He reached out to touch her cheek and found it burning.“So hot? Is your fever acting up again?”Jane smiled and sipp

Her lips curled into a provocative smile before she caught up with Yashi, resuming her ladylike image.Selene's words were like thorns piercing into Jane's heart. They stayed buried there for the entire day, stealing her focus.“Why don't I accompany you to visit your grandmother?” Ivy offered, trying to comfort her.“It's okay.”If something had happened to her grandmother, the nursing home nurse would have informed her.Jane forced herself to calm down and study when she heard her phone vibrate.It was a call from a nurse in the nursing home, who had not contacted her for a prolonged period. She was silent for a moment before answering the call.“I have bad news, Miss Jane. Your grandmother is missing, we have been looking for her for a long time but we could not find her.”Jane went rigid. “I will go over now!”Ivy was worried. “Jane, do not be hasty.”“She would not just leave for no reason. What Selene said this afternoon must have something to do with my grandmother's sudden disa
