Chapter 650 Her Maternal Instinct Kicked In
Day Seventy-One...
~~*****~~
After some time, Nathan and Jane discreetly retrieved their clothing scattered on the floor, slipping back into their respective garments. They maintained an air of composure as if the passionate moment between them had never occurred.
Once dressed, they found themselves side by side, sitting in a comfortable silence that carried no hint of awkwardness. Nathan took it upon himself to serve the meal and chilled beverages he had ordered for them earlier.
As they dined together, the atmosphere between them was a blend of shared moments and unspoken sentiments. Nathan and Jane found themselves in a contemplative state, their thoughts entwined with questions about the true nature of their relationship.
Each bite of food seemed to symbolize the layers of complexity that surrounded them, leaving room for lingering questions and uncharted emotions. They silently pondered the uncharted territory they had entered, both wondering if the intimate encounter had changed the dynamics between them.
Their eyes met briefly, and in that exchange, they saw a reflection of their shared uncertainty. What was the real score between them now?
Jane's curiosity won over her and she could no longer resist the urge to break the silence that had settled between them. Her voice, soft yet filled with a searching intensity, finally pierced the stillness.
The weight of his confession hung in the air, and he met Jane's surprised gaze, his eyes revealing the depth of his emotions. It was a revelation that laid bare the complexities of their relationship, and Nathan's admission left them both in a moment of contemplative silence as they coped with the newfound awareness of their feelings.
They were in the midst of their contemplative conversation when the ringtone of Nathan's phone disrupted the moment. Nathan quickly excused himself, recognizing the call as coming from the Sparks Mansion, and stepped aside to answer it.
With a tone of cautious concern, he picked up the phone and inquired, "Hello, what is it?"
Butler Li, his loyal and dedicated household manager, urgently relayed the distressing news from the other end of the line. "Master! Young Master Ethan is not feeling well! He's in excruciating pain. I'm calling to inform you that we're rushing him to the hospital."
Worry etched across Nathan's face as he took in the gravity of the situation. His voice carried a sense of urgency as he responded, "Tell me the hospital. I'm on my way there." The concern for his son, Ethan, was evident in every word he spoke, and he was prepared to leave and fly to his current location.
Noticing the sudden shift in Nathan's expression and demeanor, Jane sprang to her feet and gently grasped his arm. Her eyes were filled with concern, mirroring the worry etched across Nathan's face.
"What happened? Who is in the hospital?" Jane inquired urgently, her voice laced with apprehension. She had overheard Nathan's mention of the hospital during his conversation on the phone, and her immediate instinct was to offer her support and assistance in whatever way she could.
Nathan's voice quivered with concern as he shared the distressing news with Jane. "Ethan... he's not well. Butler Li is rushing him to the hospital," he informed her, his words heavy with anxiety.
Upon hearing Ethan's name, Jane's heart sank, a deep sense of worry and maternal protectiveness taking hold of her. Without hesitation, she took a firm hold of Nathan's arm, her determination evident in her grip as she urged, "Let's go! I need to see Ethan." Her maternal instinct had kicked in, and she was determined to be by the young boy's side in his time of need.
