“Brother Jinghao, save me!” Gu Yiren was afraid that Jane Gardner would contact Zhong Jinghao and tell him everything that had happened, she grabbed the kidnapper’s gun and signaled for him to hold herself hostage as soon as possible.
The kidnapper panicked, and he literally clasped Gu Yi Ren’s neck, and Gu Yi Ren found the opportunity to push him away, while she herself rushed to Jane Gardner’s car door and shielded Jane Gardner with her own body.
“You’re just trying to get rich, I can give you as much money as you want, Sister Jane is the Second Young Lady of Windsor Castle, you can’t hurt her!” Gu Yi Ren said this, but raised her eyebrows but signaled the kidnappers to shoot.
The kidnapper hadn’t expected Gu Yiren to do this, and he was so nervous that his gun had already been tampered with by Gu Yiren, so his finger trembled slightly, and the trigger was automatically pulled.
Gu Yiren had already expected this, she turned around and hugged Jane Gardner, and used her body to block the shot for her.
The first time the gunshot rang out, the police also immediately opened fire. Before the kidnappers died, they didn’t know why they had become like this, and Yiren Gu told them that it was just an act, and the guns were all replica guns, so they would never be in any danger.
But in the end, they died! Inexplicably dead!
It all happened so fast, Jane Gardner felt Yiren Gu’s body temperature, she couldn’t believe that in order to gain Zhong Jinghao’s trust, in order to eradicate herself, she used such a bitter drama!
“Sister Jane, have I told you before, brother Jinghao won’t trust you, although the person he loves is you, the one he trusts is me.” Gu Yi Ren endured the sharp pain on her body, she pulled her lips to smile happily.
“You don’t have much time left, once you die, I will be brother Jinghao’s countess, I will definitely marry brother Jinghao.”
Jane Gardner watched as Zhong Jinghao carried Gu Yi Ren away, her ears were filled with the various voices of the police while Gu Yi Ren was snuggled in Zhong Jinghao’s arms, her eyes glaring, but her lips held a smile as she stared at her grimly.
Her smile told Jane Gardner that she had won, and from this moment on, no matter what Jane Gardner told Zhong Jinghao, he would not believe her.
After all, she, Gu Yi Ren, was the victim, and she had even gotten hurt trying to save Jane Gardner.
“Why are you so stupid? It’s not your fault that Jane was kidnapped, why are you doing this?” Zhong Jinghao hugged Gu Yiren in heartache, he looked at Jane Gardner with complicated and painful eyes.
Jane Gardner saw that both kidnappers were subdued and she held Xia Zuo’s hand as she got out of the car.
She ignored the two people embracing together behind her, she gave Xia Zuo to Xia Zuo’s people, “There is no need to say anything about what happened today, protect yourself well, remember my words, only when we become stronger ourselves, we can dominate our own life.”
“She is really ruthless! Not only is she cruel to you, she is also cruel to herself!” Although Xia Zuo’s grade was small, he already knew a lot, “Don’t worry, I will find a way to save you as soon as possible, you have to resist!”
Jane Gardner didn’t realize that she had lived for decades, and when she finally encountered danger, she was surrounded by only a small child that she had known for only half a month.
“Just protect yourself, I don’t need you to save me. You go home, this time, after all, I’m the one who dragged you down, I’m sorry.” Jane Gardner pinched Shazor’s cheeks as she watched him being put into the car to go home.
She herself followed the police back to the station to give her statement.
Jane Gardner remained silent about all the questions the police asked, and Zhong Jinghao took Jane Gardner out of the police station after sending Gu Yiren to the hospital.
The two sat in the car, obviously close by, but already far away from each other.
“Jane, I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have gotten angry with you, I shouldn’t have brought you back but not been able to stay with you. In the past two days, you were kidnapped by the kidnappers and you suffered! My heart aches in my heart.” Zhong Jinghao said and was about to grab Jane Gardner’s hand.
Jane Gardner saw his movement out of the corner of her eye and moved her hand away a step ahead, “How is Gu Yiren? Her injuries shouldn’t be fatal, right?”
“The bullet pierced her lower lungs, she needs surgery, but it’s not fatal, she’ll be fine after some time of recuperation.” Zhong Jinghao mentioned Gu Yiren’s injuries, and his sense of guilt clearly intensified.
“She really fought hard for you.” Jane Gardner smiled to herself.
“Jane, this time, after all, it was her who saved you, can you promise me that you’ll get along with her in the future? She said that she truly regards you as her sister-in-law.” Zhong Jinghao saw the mockery on Jane Gardner’s lips and he tightened his brows.
Jane Gardner heard Zhong Jing Hao’s words, she Jane stared at him and didn’t speak anymore.
This night, Jane Gardner just arrived at Windsor Castle, Mu Changhong’s phone call came through, Jane Gardner specific process did not tell him, just simply said that he was fine.
“Girl, if you were to choose, Zhong Jinghao and Zachary Irwin, who would you choose to be with?” The coughing on Mu Changhong’s side was getting worse and worse, almost every time he said something, he had to cough for a long time.
“Why did Grandpa suddenly ask that?” Jane Gardner thought back to just now, and she had to admit that she had fantasized about Zachary Irwin coming out to save her.
“Grandpa actually knew all along that you were Zachary Irwin’s wife back home, but Grandpa still let you marry Zhong Jinghao for the sake of the Delin House as if he didn’t know anything.
If you really don’t like Zhong Jinghao, give Grandpa another month’s time, and after a month passes, Grandpa will definitely return your freedom.” Mu Changhong’s voice was filled with guilt.
Jane Gardner probably knew that Mu Changhong knew about the kidnapping tonight, so he blamed himself and told Jane Gardner this.
Jane Gardner hung up the phone with Mu Changhong, Zhong Jinghao pushed open the door to his room after taking a shower and came in.
“I’ll go lay the quilt for you.” When Jane Gardner saw him coming towards her, she turned around to look for a quilt to make a floor bed for Zhong Jinghao.
Instead, Zhong Jinghao hugged her, and he tightened his hands around her waist, not letting her have a single chance to break free and get out.
“Jane, please believe me, I am only brother to sister to Yi Ren, in my heart, the one I truly love and like is only you. Can you try to accept me as you did in the beginning.” Zhong Jinghao’s voice was colored with a few hints of pleading.
After not seeing her for just two days, his intuition told him that Jane Gardner’s heart already completely lacked herself.
Even, she might still have hatred and disgust towards herself.
He didn’t like the way he felt, he missed his time on Mysterious Island, and as he thought of the way Jane Gardner had looked at him, the way she had relied on him when she had first sobered up, he rolled her over on her back as soon as he could, so that her face was facing him.
“I would have made you my one and only at first because of the potion you injected me with.”
Jane Gardner’s voice was cold and hard as she lifted her eyes and tilted her head to look at Zhong Jinghao, speaking word by word, her face without ripples, “Now that the potion is gradually failing in my body, and the memories of the past are even being restored day by day, do you think that I can still treat you as my only one?”
##Six Hundred and Thirteen## Chapter 6 – Missing Him So Much
“Could it be that without the potion, you no longer have a single heartbeat for me?” Zhong Jinghao was expecting such an outcome, he was just not willing.
“If you had that confidence, why would you have injected me with the potion in the first place? I don’t care what feelings you really have for Gu Yi Ren, and I don’t care even more about how much Gu Yi Ren loves you, I just want to get out of here!”
As Jane Gardner’s words left her mouth, a pang of pain rose in the direction of her chest.
“What’s wrong with you? I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have provoked you tonight, it’s only been a few days since your surgery, if you’re uncomfortable anywhere down there, I’ll take you to the hospital right away!” Zhong Jinghao thought of Jane Gardner’s surgery not more than a few days ago, on the other hand, she had suffered so much in the past few days because of his poor care.
He picked her up and was about to send her to the hospital.
“I’m not going to the hospital! If you really want me to be comfortable, you put me in bed and you get out.” Jane Gardner endured the pain, all inside her mind were Gu Yi Ren’s words.
She said that the side effects would become more and more obvious because of the gradual increase in the time the potion was in her body.
Now, it wasn’t just the inflexibility of her legs that was the only side effect, her body, after the injection of the antidote, was beginning to seize up in full force.
“I don’t feel comfortable leaving you alone here. You rest well, I promise I won’t disturb you!” Zhong Jinghao saw Jane Gardner’s bout of pain easing up, and he placed her on the bed and covered her with a blanket.
Jane Gardner also noticed that the bout of pain in her chest disappeared, she closed her eyes but couldn’t sleep.
I don’t know how long, Jane Gardner fell asleep, in her dream, all the memories of the past like a tidal wave towards her brain, her forehead was filled with sweat, and soon after, she had a high fever.
Zhong Jinghao kept lowering Jane Gardner’s temperature physically, but her fever was still recurring.
Jane Gardner felt a hand holding her in her dream, but she couldn’t hear what the other person said.
“Zachary Irwin …” Jane Gardner mumbled Zachary Irwin’s name, and she cried and laughed for a few moments, and it seemed as if years had passed in just one night.
The next day, Jane Gardner slept until noon before waking up completely.
“You finally woke up?” Zhong Jinghao served Jane Gardner for a night last night, and at the same time, he was beside her and also listened to her screaming Zachary Irwin’s name for a night.
Jane Gardner saw the obvious dark circles under Zhong Jinghao’s eyelids, and even more so, she saw the bitterness that filled his eyes, and she remembered the hand from last night, “Last night, it was you who kept me company?”
“You were disappointed to see it was me? Last night, you screamed the name ‘Zachary Irwin’ for the rest of the night, I wanted to wake you up many times, but in the end, I held back.”
Zhong Jinghao was smiling, but Jane Gardner could tell that he was more angry.
“You should have gone to the hospital last night to accompany Gu Yi Ren, she would have been happier than me if she saw you accompanying her.” Jane Gardner looked pale as she got out of bed and put on her slippers, about to go wash up.
Just as she was putting on the slippers, inside her mind, Yu Yuzhang remembered the past.
When she first woke up, Zachary Irwin was the one who would carry her to the bathroom.
She would brush her teeth, he would squeeze the toothpaste for himself, and when she reached out, he would put his clothes on for him.
“And what about you? Are you happy to see that I stayed with you all night?” Zhong Jinghao knew that the answer Jane Gardner gave wouldn’t be good, but he couldn’t help but ask.
If Jane Gardner wasn’t covered in bruises and had just been rescued from the kidnappers, he would, at this moment, definitely not let go of her.
Zhong Jinghao had never been so desperate in his life, he looked at Jane Gardner in front of him, even if he held out his heart to her, she still did not care.
He had a strong feeling of powerlessness.
Jane Gardner did not answer Zhong Jinghao’s question, she looked at herself in the mirror, her face was even paler than before, even on her lips, there was a miserable and pitiful pink color.
“Good, since you want me to accompany Gu Yi Ren so much, I will do as you wish!” Outside, Zhong Jinghao’s voice was completely enraged, and he threw the door with force, and the person left the room.
When Jane Gardner washed up and came out, Zhong Jinghao was indeed no longer in the room.
“Second sister-in-law, I heard that you were kidnapped by the kidnappers last night, I wonder if you still have the appetite to eat the breakfast Selena personally made for you this morning?” Jane Gardner had just come downstairs when Felix walked in towards the hall carrying a thermos.
Jane Gardner heard Selena Lott’s name, she tugged at her lips and squeezed out a smile, “I’m fine, I can still eat and drink, what did Selena cook for me? I happen to be starving.”
“Dumplings, Selena rolled them out herself, it’s the first time I’ve seen her cook in all the time I’ve known her, Second Sister-in-law, your relationship with Selena is really making me jealous too.” Felix smiled as he opened the thermos, then stared at Jane Gardner with burning eyes.
“If I told you that I no longer needed the antidote, would I still be able to eat this dumpling?” Jane Gardner saw something in Felix’s eyes, and she stopped her chopsticks in mid-air, and her eyes were colored by something else.
“You’re going to stay and never leave for the rest of your life?” Felix heard that Jane Gardner didn’t need the antidote, and he made an instant assumption.
“I want to get out of here.” Jane Gardner’s eyes were firm; she really wanted to leave.
“So that means you got the antidote. I’m curious, where did you get the antidote? As far as I know, there aren’t many people who have the antidote in the whole of the Y at the moment, and it’s even more unlikely that you know of it, Second Sister-in-law.
Unless, it was Second Brother who gave you the antidote!” Felix thought of the possibility that Zhong Jinghao might have given Jane Gardner the antidote, and he quickly ruled it out again.
“You don’t need to care where I got the antidote from, I just want to ask you, can you help me get out of here? At no cost.”
Felix fell silent; he didn’t say anything and his attitude spoke for itself.
“Well, it seems that this dumpling is out of my league, Felix, you go back.” Jane Gardner, seeing that there was not a single servant in the hall, went herself to the kitchen and warmed herself a few slices of bread.
“I can’t help you leave, but the dumplings were made by Selena for you to eat, and Second Sister-in-law, even if you don’t help me persuade Selena to marry me, I’d still like you to go over there more often when you have time to spend with her.”
Jane Gardner watched Felix’s figure fade away as she looked at the dumplings on the table again, picking one up with her fork she ate it.
In her head, the memories of her past with Selena Lott also came flooding back to her mind like a movie playing frame by frame.
She didn’t know whether she should be happy or cry, just as Gu Yi Ren said, her memories gradually recovered, which also meant that her body, would gradually collapse.
After breakfast, Jane Gardner went to the garden to walk around a bit, her legs were getting more and more inflexible now, she didn’t want to become a cripple at a young age.
Presumably the exercise had made Jane Gardner’s legs feel less numb.
She had just returned to her room and was about to lie down and rest for a while when Gu Yiren’s phone call came over.
“Sister Jane, I heard brother Jing Hao say that you made him come to the hospital to see me, should I say thank you, after all, because of you, brother Jing Hao is now treating me especially well, I think that once you leave, my wish will be realized.”
On the other end of the phone, Gu Yiren’s voice was bright and emotional, completely unable to hear that she was an injured patient.
“Then I congratulate you in advance for getting your wish, and if it’s okay, I’m going to rest.” Jane Gardner didn’t know what Gu Yiren had come over to show off; her feelings for Zhong Jinghao had long since run out.
She now knew how she and Zhong Jinghao met.
She also knew how Zhong Jinghao had used her trust to trick herself out so that she could inject herself with the potion.
She had treated him as a friend in the beginning, but now, she had lost even her friendship.
Jane Gardner’s heart sours at the thought of remembering Zachary Irwin as she leaves. If the price of remembering Zachary Irwin was that all types of organs in her body began to go downhill.
Well, she was willing to bear that price.
She would rather remember everything than live well and not remember Zachary Irwin at all.
“Second young lady, sir wants you to come down, says you have a visitor at home and need to be entertained.” Jane Gardner wanted to rest and was once again disturbed, she said “yes” towards the maid at the door and even though she couldn’t bear it, she got up from the bed.
Jane Gardner didn’t know what guests Henri Fran was entertaining that still required her to go down.
As usual, she fixed her hair and simply threw on a shawl and headed downstairs.
No sooner had she descended the stairs than she caught sight of Zachary Irwin’s long figure, carved into her bones, and her heart raced uncontrollably.
Jane Gardner’s lips unconsciously showed the curve of a smile.
Zachary Irwin saw that there was no obvious trauma on Jane Gardner’s body, his tightly lifted heart hanged down, but he remembered the way she treated herself before leaving, his face was still tightly tensed, not seeing a trace of warmth.
“Jane, Jing Hao went to the hospital, I also have something to go out immediately, Mr. Irwin, it will be you who will receive for father, remember, Mr. Irwin is a heavy guest of Windsor Castle, treat him with the courtesy of a noble guest.” Henfran saw Jane Gardner come down, and he rose to leave with his steward.
Jane Gardner knew that Henfran was purposely making room for Zachary Irwin to see him, she nodded and waited for his figure to leave, which led her over towards Zachary Irwin.
It was clear that they hadn’t seen each other in just a few days, but she felt that they hadn’t seen each other in months.
Jane Gardner’s eyes were watery, her nose was even more sore, she wanted to rush forward and shrink herself into Zachary Irwin’s arms, she wanted to tell him how much she missed him, how much she missed Steven Irwin and Xin Ruzhuang.
She wanted to ask him if Grandma was okay, if The Shine was as it had always been.
Zachary Irwin saw Jane Gardner coming towards him, he was still sullen and his voice was cold, “Jane Gardner, you’re really something! After not seeing you for a few days, you’ve tossed yourself into this state, those who don’t know would think that Zhong Jinghao has abused you!”
Jane Gardner looked at Zachary Irwin’s tense face, she knew that he still remembered what happened before, she wanted to tell him that she had gotten the antidote, and that she remembered everything from the past.
She wanted to tell him that she wanted to go back to her country with him, that she wanted him to take her with him right away, that she couldn’t stay here, not for a moment.
But she couldn’t say anything, and the tears in her eyes fell as she looked at Zachary Irwin.
