Chapter 622 Getting Jealous?
Day Seventy...
~~*****~~
As Cherry listened to Jane's heartfelt sentiments, a flicker of concern crossed her mind, making her wonder if Jane was thinking about her baby who died inside her womb. She reached out and gently clasped Jane's hand, giving it a reassuring squeeze.
"Sis... Did you also recall the incident that resulted in the loss of your unborn child?" Cherry inquired, her voice filled with genuine worry and empathy as she probed gently into the depths of Jane's memories and emotions.
Jane's body stiffened, and a sudden wave of emotions overcame her as she heard Cherry's question about her unborn child. She found herself wondering why she had no recollection of that particular incident.
With a sorrowful gaze in her eyes, Jane turned to look at Cherry, the weight of sadness evident in her expression. She shook her head slowly and replied, "That incident is not among the memories I've managed to recover." Her voice carried a mix of disappointment and longing as she grappled with the absence of that crucial piece of her past.
"However... I–" Jane stopped mid-sentence. She didn't know how she would tell Cherry that she found the clue who might be the father of her child. The weight of her ugly past and a sense of shame held her back, making it hard to put her thoughts into words. Aside from the leader of King Stallion, she thought that several men had touched her.
Cherry fixed her gaze on Jane with anticipation, eager to hear more of her story. Unable to contain her curiosity, she blurted out the question that had been burning in her mind, "Did you manage to find out who the father of your child is?" Her curiosity got the better of her, and she couldn't wait any longer to hear Jane's response.
Jane shifted her gaze away from Cherry, unable to meet her eyes directly. She feared that Cherry would pity her further if she revealed her painful and ugly past. Her humiliation ran deep, stemming from the exploitation she had endured. At that moment, she felt dirty and unworthy, and it weighed heavily on her heart.
She was in the middle of putting her emotions in check when an unexpected figure approached them. It was Stephen. He showed up and immediately pulled Jane into a tight hug. Cherry was the one who informed Stephen about their current location. Stephen had been worried about Jane because of the abduction incident last night.
Jane smiled faintly, trying to look brave. "You don't need to worry about me. I've endured a lot, and I plan to draw strength from my past. I'm determined to settle the score with them. However, I still need your help. I must recall the incident that led to the death of my unborn child."
"I will help you recover the rest of your memory. But how do you plan to settle the score with them? You need to undergo treatment, Jane. You were diagnosed with a brain tumor," Stephen said, his concern evident in his voice.
'Damn. here we go again with that illness. I want to beat Bam-Bam for this.' Jane thought to herself.
"Yes. I'll undergo a treatment. But please don't stop me from getting my revenge." Jane wanted to end the conversation right away about the brain tumor treatment.
"I'm surprised you didn't argue with him, and you obediently followed his words so quickly," Nathan's voice interrupted. There was a hint of jealousy in his tone as he appeared unexpectedly, his feelings clearly mixed.
Nathan hated the fact that Jane had declined his offer of assistance and that he had to resort to making a deal with her to persuade her to accept treatment. However, at the mere word from Stephen, Jane had promptly complied, leaving Nathan feeling somewhat frustrated and overshadowed.
Jane frowned as she looked at him. "Of course, I have to listen to Stephen. He is my doctor."
Nathan's expression turned sour further when he heard her last remarks. He pursed his lips in annoyance. Meanwhile, Stephen just smiled at them. "By the way, what are you doing here, Nate?" Stephen asked him.
Nathan couldn't provide an immediate response. He hesitated to confess that he had been trailing Jane because he was concerned she might engage in more reckless behavior so soon after waking from her coma. His worries compelled him to keep an eye on her and ensure her well-being. Furthermore, there was still a threat to her safety because of the King Stallion Mafia. They were still after Jane.
"I came for practice shooting," Nathan said as an alibi.
'LIAR,' Jane thought to herself as she arched her eyebrow. It was very obvious that Nathan lied. There are other famous shooting ranges in the city. And Nathan wasn't a regular client here.The source of this content no/v(el)bi((n))
