Jane Gardner looked at Bridger, and after a brief word with her that she didn’t mind and didn’t take it to heart, she went back to her room.
It was a day that was just too much to handle.
The next day.
She woke up and Mu Changhong sent someone to tell her that this morning, Henry Flanders had put Zhong Jinghao in a cell at Windsor Castle, and she had to go to Windsor Castle right away and explain what happened yesterday.
Jane Gardner remembered the image she saw last time, and she didn’t need to think about it to know that this time, Zhong Jinghao must have been badly injured.
She got up in a hurry, didn’t even have time to eat, and went straight to Windsor Castle.
“Miss Jane and my second brother are really close, coming to see him this early in the morning?” Felix saw Jane Gardner come in, and he came forward with a smirk, blocking her path.
“Where is he? Or the cell from before? You take me there!” The last time Jane Gardner went to find Zhong Jinghao, it was Felix who led the way.
“It would be my pleasure to show you the way!” Felix didn’t stop, he made a gentlemanly gesture of invitation to Jane Gardner and proceeded to lead her right down.
Just like last time, this time, Zhong Jinghao was still locked inside that iron prison, his limbs were bound and his body was covered with blood marks from the whip lashes.
“Why are you here?” When Zhong Jinghao saw Jane Gardner, his eyes trembled fiercely, he thought that after yesterday’s incident, she could not possibly come to him again.
“Why did you get yourself into this state again?” Jane Gardner looked at Zhong Jinghao, who was covered in blood, she then looked aside at the whip, “All these years, at Windsor Castle, is this the life you’ve led? Is this, why you hate your father?”
“Yeah, since I was a kid, whenever he was upset, he would lock me in there for a violent beating, whether I caused it or not. Jane, I don’t think you’ve ever seen me, under my clothes, I don’t have an inch of good skin.
Oh no, the old you had seen my skin, at that time, you could not speak, but your eyes told me that you pity me, sympathize with me, and generally speaking, what I loathe most is to be pitied.
And I don’t know if it’s fate that I’m destined to owe you, but I’m surprised I don’t resent your sympathy for me.” Zhong Jinghao smiled bitterly as he faced Jane Gardner through the iron cage, his body scarred except for the face and hands that showed the outside, wretched to the core.
“I came here today to tell you that what I said last night doesn’t count, and our wedding, will take place as scheduled.” Jane Gardner probably guessed that the reason why Henry Flanders hit Zhong Jinghao was because of her words last night.
She finished and turned to Felix, “Can you take that to your father now? Am I allowed to let him out?”
Jane Gardner finished, and did not wait for Felix to give her an answer, she went to get the key herself, opened the cage, and released Zhong Jinghao.
“Why did you suddenly change your mind?” Zhong Jinghao knew that even if Mu Changhong did not agree, as long as Jane Gardner herself was firm in her will, this wedding would not be possible.
“I did promise to finish the wedding with you, but we won’t see each other again until the wedding date comes. What happened last night, I hope you won’t do it again in the future.” Jane Gardner did not tell Zhong Jinghao that her change of heart was not only all for Mu Changhong.
She has a few more points, for him.
“Is it because of me? Because you heard me being abused by him, so, you came to save me? If it’s really because of me, Jane Gardner, can you not be so cruel to me? Either you stay with me wholeheartedly, or you reject Zachary Irwin completely, do you know that watching you with him again is worse than death for me!”
Zhong Jinghao thought of these days, Jane Gardner and Zachary Irwin together, he did have the thought of killing Zachary Irwin.
Especially last night, he was extremely strong in that kind of mind.
“So what do you want, Zachary Irwin wants to stay and there is nothing I can do to stop it, not only me but even you, aren’t you powerless to stop it?”
“Just like last time, move up the wedding date! If you want to marry me after all, then what difference does it make if it’s earlier or later!” Zhong Jinghao climbed up from the ground as he approached Jane Gardner.
Jane Gardner’s head was blank. Her first thought after hearing Zhong Jinghao’s words was, if Zachary Irwin knew the news, was he going to storm out again?
“Zachary Irwin will leave the capital in two days, we just happen to get the wedding done, and when he comes back, it will be too late for him to stop it!”
Afterwards, Jane Gardner left Windsor Castle, her whole being in a state of confusion.
Just now, Zhong Jinghao had already told his proposal to the people of Windsor Castle and Delin House, and to her surprise, the two families had unanimously agreed to advance the wedding date.
And so, her wedding date, set for the day after tomorrow.
Jane Gardner told herself that as long as she helped Mu Changhong and Zhong Jinghao, she would be free to go wherever she wanted to go and do whatever she wanted to do.
Even, she can use her identity as a viscountess to go to the royal palace to look for the antidote, in case, she coincidentally finds the antidote and recalls all her memories, then, she can go back to her country.
She no longer had to stay in this strange country.
Jane Gardner thought about the plans for the future, and she swept her inexplicable worries away.
“Second Brother, congratulations, you’ve been blessed by the disaster, when you get married, don’t forget our agreement!” Felix saw Jane Gardner leave, and he confronted Zhong Jinghao.
“What exactly do you want?” Zhong Jinghao tightened his brows when he thought of Felix having the antidote in his hands.
“As I said, you’ll know when the time comes. For now, you’d better prepare for your wedding, after all, there’s not much time left.” After Felix finished speaking, he turned around and left.
When Zhong Jinghao thought of the wedding coming up, he looked down at the bloodstains on his body and clenched his fist.
He didn’t know what Felix wanted, but he knew, what he wanted for himself!
Zachary Irwin’s side.
“Young master, we’ve searched for so long and still haven’t found anything, have we fallen for Zhong Jinghao’s scheme?” Rudolf Bartley, after searching countless times but finding nothing, he walked to the car and faced Zachary Irwin.
Zachary Irwin recalls the news he received last night that someone at the hospital told him that Jane Gardner’s antidote was available, probably in this house on the border.
Because, the previous owner of this house was the director of the royal hospital that developed the antidote.
“Keep looking again!” Zachary Irwin wasn’t sure if the news was true, but he had to be extremely cautious.
Rudolf Bartley knows that Zachary Irwin is desperate to find the antidote, and although he doesn’t believe he can, he gets out of the car and prepares to go find it.
Just as he was getting out of the car, there was the sound of a silenced gunshot brushing against his own cheek.
Zachary Irwin also heard the sound, and he dragged Rudolf Bartley into the car.
“Young master, we’ve really been trapped! It’s a trap!”
Zachary Irwin remembered what happened yesterday, and he was certain that if the news was false, then the person who released the news must be Zhong Jinghao!
A bloody arc bloomed on his lips, “Zhong Jinghao did so much to kill me!”
“I’ll escort you, young master go first!” As soon as Rudolf Bartley heard that Zhong Jinghao was trying to kill someone, he immediately got into the driver’s seat and then backed the car out as fast as he could.
Just as the car started, a lot of bullets hit the car.
Zachary Irwin’s eyebrows are full of bitter anger, he is gullible!
