“Don’t worry, he’ll be fine!” Jane Gardner didn’t know how Mr. Irwin Rin’s condition was either, and she expected him to be safe.
Although Selena Lott had never admitted that she had feelings for Mr. Irwin Rin, Jane Gardner could see that she had feelings for him.
Just now, Selena Lott’s eyes looking at Mr. Irwin Rin were filled with a dependence and fondness that she herself had not even realized.
“Yes, he’ll be fine, he’s been through rough times since he was a child, he’s survived so many difficulties, he’ll definitely survive this time too.” Selena Lott wasn’t sure if she was speaking to Jane Gardner or comforting herself.
By the time they arrived at the hospital, Mr. Irwin Rin had already been taken to the emergency room.
“Grandpa wants to see you for a moment, he just happens to be at the hospital as well, why don’t you come with me.” Jane Gardner had just accompanied Selena Lott to the emergency room door when Lemon walked up to Jane Gardner.
Jane Gardner looked over at Zachary Irwin, who asked Rudolf Bartley to accompany Jane Gardner to follow Lemon to see Mu Changhong.
“Why is Grandpa in the hospital? Is he really in bad health?” Jane Gardner asked Lemon.
“His health has always been like this, even, before he found you, his health was worse, and it was only after he met you that he got a little better. Your bedding with Zhong Jinghao and Zachary Irwin was actually known to your grandfather all along.
At first, I admit that I deliberately hid it from him, but later on, I realized that he actually knew about it long ago, and, he never wanted to destroy your relationship with Zachary Irwin, I hope you don’t blame him.” Lemon was also different from when they had met earlier at The Shine, and now he, like Bridger, was friendly with Jane Gardner.
Jane Gardner could feel the change in Lemon, she remembered the first time they met, “Can you tell me why you worked with Zhong Jinghao?”
During the time she was in Y, she didn’t see how good Lemon’s relationship with Zhong Jinghao was, so she was quite puzzled.
“He is the most humane person within the three Windsor Castle brothers, instead of letting Augustine or Felix inherit Windsor Castle, I would rather it be Zhong Jinghao.” As Lemon’s words fell, they walked to the door of Mu Changhong’s hospital room.
Lemon pushed the door open and let Jane Gardner in, while he himself stood outside the door along with Rudolf Bartley.
Jane Gardner hadn’t been able to see how vicious Felix was before; today, she had indeed seen it deeply!
Selena Lott was the woman he loved so dearly, but once she was about to leave him, he would rather kill than allow her to walk away from him.
It’s a deep love, and it’s even more mischievous.
Jane Gardner was glad she hadn’t helped set Felix up with Selena Lott, and that Selena Lott hadn’t shown him a single ounce of affection.
“Jane girl, sit next to Grandpa.” When Mu Changhong saw Jane Gardner come in, he raised his frail hand and pointed to a chair next to his bed.
Jane Gardner could see that since her “marriage”, Mu Changhong’s health could be said to have plummeted, and the person who was already thin, was now even thinner than skin and bones, and he looked like he was dying of old age, and couldn’t last much longer.
“Grandpa!” Jane Gardner walked over to Mu Changhong’s side, she felt a little guilty about the fact that she was ready to leave without saying goodbye to Zachary Irwin.
“Good girl, Grandpa wants to see you today, and I’m afraid it will be the last time.” Mu Changhong’s voice was weak, he coughed a bit to suppress all the pain in his life, and then turned to Jane Gardner, “I heard from Lemon that you guys are ready to go back?”
“Yes.”
Mu Changhong fished out a piece of jade from the bedside, he handed it to Jane Gardner, “This is something your mother left for you, today is the return of things to their rightful owners. Originally, this should have been given to you the first time I saw you, giving it to you now is considered late.”
Jane Gardner received the jade, this piece of jade had disappeared after Zhong Jinghao tricked herself, she didn’t have time to care about it during this period of time, not to mention she didn’t know that it had fallen into Mu Changhong’s hands.
“Grandpa, can I ask you something?” Jane Gardner still remembered that before Lily Benz died, she had no other words to instruct herself, but to give this piece of jade to herself.
“You ask.”
“Back then, why did you leave my mother alone in the country?” Jane Gardner knew that Lily Benz had been alone all her life, and she felt bad for her.
“That time is not like today, in more than forty years ago, the environment in the country is not really stable, I have to leave the country because of some work problems, originally, your grandmother and I were going to bring your mother out as a family, but in the end, there was an accident, and we couldn’t wait for your mother, so we could only leave by ourselves.
And when the domestic environment stabilized, I wanted to come back to find your mother, things were already different, plus your grandmother got sick and died soon after coming out with me.
My identity also changed, and when I had the strength and the conditions to be able to come back, I couldn’t find your mother at all.
Over the years, I’ve secretly been sending people to look for her, but there’s been no news.” Mu Changhong’s voice was filled with a sense of vicissitude and self-reproach as he mentioned the events of decades ago.
“Then during these years, have you ever missed her?” Jane Gardner knew that Mu Changhong now had a new wife and children and grandchildren, and she wondered if he ever really thought about Lily Benz.
“Thought about it, but with the passage of time and with more children and grandchildren around, I admit that I don’t think about your mother as strongly as I should.” Mu Changhong said honestly.
Jane Gardner smiled bitterly, “Yes, if it wasn’t for the fact that both the Delin House and Windsor Castle only produced male children and not a single girl, causing your two families to be unable to join forces properly, I guess Grandpa wouldn’t have thought about mother.”
Mu Changhong heard the irony in Jane Gardner’s words, he didn’t deny that what Jane Gardner said was the truth.
“Girl, do you hate me?” Mu Changhong coughed again, this time, he coughed for a long time and couldn’t calm down for a long time, by the time he completely calmed down, his face was already red from the violent coughing.
Jane Gardner was ultimately a bit intolerant, she poured him a cup of warm water and handed it to him.
Mu Changhong took the water and slowly drank it through a straw, but he didn’t drink much, only two sips, then put it down.
“Grandpa knows that I have wronged you and your mother, you can hate me if you want to, I asked you to come here today to tell you that my days are numbered, long before I found you, I was diagnosed with lung cancer.”
Jane Gardner didn’t know about the lung cancer but she guessed that he wasn’t doing well, she pursed her lips tightly and didn’t know how to react.
“In your heart, there should never have been Zhong Jinghao, Zachary Irwin is the one you really like. During the time you were in Windsor Castle, Grandpa was actually quite looking forward to you falling in love with Zhong Jinghao and being able to truly become husband and wife with him, so that down the line, you would be able to stay and see Grandpa off for the last part.
Since the person you love is not him, and you want to be with Zachary Irwin, Grandpa will definitely fulfill you as well, and this is also considered, the first and last thing that Grandpa will help you do.” As Mu Changhong’s words fell, he took out another document from the bedside chest of drawers.
“I know that Zachary Irwin is very strong and has a lot of people around him, and that The Shine and THE Irwin have a lot of power, but without this document, it’s probably not too good for so many of you to walk out of the border.”
Mu Changhong knew that although Country Y’s geographical area was small, not even compared to a city in the country, it was after all an independent country.
For many things, if Country Y refused to release them, not to mention those people Zachary Irwin brought, even if he brought the entire The Shine, they wouldn’t be able to leave.
Jane Gardner took the document and opened it to see that it was a release notice.
“Jane girl, can you promise Grandpa one last thing?” After all the padding was done by Mu Changhong, his eyes lit up with cunning, a strong shrewdness under his eyes.
“Can you, for the sake of Grandpa’s imminent departure from this world, promise Grandpa that after you leave from Country Y, within the next year, don’t publicize your divorce from Zhong Jinghao! And even more so, don’t announce the fact of your marriage to the public!”
“Let me take a guess, is Grandpa asking me this for Lemon’s sake?” Jane Gardner suddenly felt that the two copies in her hand were a bit solid, and the bitter arc on her lips blossomed wider and wider.
“Aye. The Delin House and Windsor Castle have long had an agreement that as long as any of the two families has any hope of sitting in a higher position, the other family must fully support him. You and Zhong Jinghao have only just gotten married now, and if the news of divorce breaks out so soon, it will not be a good thing for Zhong Jinghao.”
Country Y has been inclusive since ancient times, and historically, it’s not like there hasn’t been a queen of a foreign country, or even, a queen with another country’s identity is more responsive to the people’s heart, and draws the royal family closer to the commoners, and to the other country.
Therefore, Jane Gardner’s foreign identity not only does not hinder Zhong Jinghao’s progress, on the contrary, it is more conducive to beautify his image and help him to compete for the throne.
One year is not too short, not too long, but for Zhong Jinghao, it is definitely enough.
“Grandpa, can I ask, assuming that Zhong Jinghao really sits in that position with the help of Delin House, what benefits will he give to Delin House?” Jane Gardner had always been curious about this.
It was only today that she had the chance to ask it.
