Jane was helpless and tried to comfort Dax, “It’s okay, it’s okay.” Patrick remained silent but his eyes widened as he saw Dax’s hand about to touch Jane’s shoulder.
Dax realized that his behavior was too impulsive and cleared his throat a few times before forcing himself to calm down. “Thank you both,” he said.
Jane thanked the homeowners once again, and luckily, they were very kind and offered food from their home.
Soon, Dax realized that something was wrong.
“Hey, where’s Addisyn?”
When Addisyn was mentioned, Jane’s heart trembled.
Her hand was still bandaged, all thanks to Addisyn.
But she was Dax’s first love, and it was evident that Dax trusted her.
But at this point, Jane had no choice but to tell him the truth.
“Dax, take a look.”
Jane raised her tightly wrapped arm and showed it to Dax.
Dax was a bit confused and pointed to Jane’s injured arm, asking, “What’s this?”
“Mr. Marner, this was done by Miss McIntosh.”
The police officer answered, thankfully Dax understood the language here, otherwise, he wouldn’t have known how to communicate with the homeowners last night.
Upon hearing this, Dax stood still.
“Addisyn? How could she…”
Dax couldn’t believe it at first, but the fact was there, and Jane was also helpless.
“Yes, it’s her.”
Jane nodded, “She conspired with Isabella. If it weren’t for Patrick coming to my rescue in time, I might have lost my life.”
Listening to Jane’s words, Dax was surprised and hesitant.
He frowned, “Isabella, the one who tried to harm you before?”
“Yes.”
Jane nodded, then looked at the police officers, “Fortunately, they have been taken into custody. If you don’t believe it, you can go to the station and see.”
At this point, Jane had no choice but to tell Dax everything.
“But she has no grudge against you.”
Dax frowned, unable to accept such a situation for a moment.
“I don’t know why either.”
Jane shook her head, “And last night, Addisyn, she did try to seduce Patrick…” Jane said weakly.
Hearing this, Dax’s eyes darkened.
“Really?” Dax still couldn’t fully accept it.
“Comrade officer, I’m Addisyn’s boyfriend. Can I ask what she did wrong?” Dax looked at the police officer beside him, feeling a bit embarrassed.
“This young lady is the victim, and what she said is indeed true.”
The police officer confirmed Jane’s words, and Dax lowered his head.
If anyone was to blame, it could only be himself for having such a bad encounter. Dax reluctantly accepted the reality of the situation.
After a short rest, the group bid farewell to the homeowners and gave them some compensation.
Now that Jane was injured, it was not suitable for her to continue staying here. They had to return to their home country for treatment as soon as possible.
In the end, Jane and Dax were forced to end their trip here and return to their home country.
Fortunately, Jane’s wound received timely treatment, and after returning home, it had started to scab. Only her back still had some bruises.
Patrick applied medicine to Jane daily, with gentle movements. After a few days, Jane’s wound had improved.
..
The Waters family’s villa.
Nana’s tight belly was throbbing faintly, and she didn’t know what was going on, but she felt that the situation was getting worse.
Lying in bed, she changed her position to lie on her side, but the abdominal pain didn’t go away. Instead, the feeling of heaviness became stronger.
“How did it come to this…”
Nana murmured weakly and recalled the events that had happened not long ago, feeling exhausted both physically and mentally.
“Ah, it hurts!”
Suddenly, Nana’s brow furrowed tightly as the unrelenting abdominal pain intensified once again.
I hope nothing bad is happening…
Nana felt inexplicably anxious and worried about the baby in her belly. After much thought, she decided to call Carl.
She picked up her phone and found Carl’s number, but hesitated before dialing.
Is Carl busy right now? Will I be disturbing him?
Nana was torn whether or not to tell him about her unbearable abdominal pain.
Cold sweat covered her forehead, and Nana suddenly felt a chill.
In order to alleviate the sudden situation as quickly as possible, she tried to relax her mind while taking deep breaths.
After a while, the pain slowly subsided, and the tightness in her belly returned to normal.
Nana breathed a sigh of relief and, concerned about the health of her baby, decided to call Carl and ask when he would be back and discuss going to the hospital for a check-up.
At the same time, Carl was on set filming, busy with reshooting a few long shots.
The phone in the dressing room buzzed, paused for a moment, and then rang again.
Coincidentally, Grace happened to pass by the dressing room and heard the sound of a vibrating phone, unintentionally stopping.
Following the sound, Grace discovered Carl’s phone on the table.
Instantly, her curiosity was piqued, and she walked over to take a look, realizing it was a call from Nana.
“You bitch!”
Seeing that it was Nana calling, Grace’s expression turned disdainful.
She closed the dressing room door and deliberately answered the call to provoke Nana.
“Hello, is Carl still filming?”
The call connected, and Nana’s voice came through the receiver.
Grace narrowed her eyes and immediately asked arrogantly, “What do you want with Carl? He doesn’t have time to talk to you right now.”
Nana’s mind buzzed. She hadn’t expected Grace to be the one answering the call.
She composed herself and calmly replied, “I’m looking for Carl. Please give him the phone.”
Unwilling to comply, Grace retorted sharply, “Why should I? Who do you think you are?”
At this moment, Nana was unaware of how Carl could be with Grace, and her phone wasn’t with her either.
Could it be that he had lied to her and never went to the set?
Emotions surged within her, but Nana told herself not to panic.
At the very least, she couldn’t swallow her pride in front of Grace.
Calming her emotions slightly, Nana remained composed, “I am Carl’s fiancée, and I have his child in my belly. Carl is the father!”
Hearing Nana using their child as leverage, Grace was momentarily speechless.
This was the most unbearable pain for her, the one thing that made it impossible for her to stay calm.
They say a mother’s bond with her child is strong, and Carl was already so concerned about Nana. With the presence of the child, it could tie them together for a lifetime.
Indescribable jealousy struck Grace’s chest, her face turning red with anger, and her resentment rapidly spreading.
If she could, she truly wanted to kick Nana’s belly!
