As Teddy came out of the doctor’s office, he was shocked to see Ava falling off the stairs. He didn’t even think twice before screaming her name and rushing towards her like the wind. He pushed Jane out of the way, making her land on her butt due to how weak she is. Who would have thought this unfeeling man had this side to someone who isn’t his wife.
Ava has already calculated everything, since she wanted to get Teddy back as soon as possible, there is nothing she couldn’t do, even if it’s to sustain some superficial wounds. As Teddy rushed down the stairs to check on Ava’s condition, he saw that her forehead was bleeding profusely. He was so angry that his body was about to convulse. He rushed down the stairs as he wanted to pick her up, but without knowing the extent of her injuries, he didn’t dare to move recklessly. “What are you sitting there for? Call the doctor.” He shouted at Jane, who was struggling to stand on her feet. She shivered uncontrollably at his hoarse voice. Some nurses who heard the commotion came forward immediately as they placed Ava on the stretcher. They took her to the emergency room immediately. Thinking about what just happened, Jane couldn’t help but notice that Ava had just played her. If she has to compliment her, she should be given a medal for being a good actress. Two hot slap was delivered to Jane cheeks bringing her out of her reverie. Looking at the man in front of her seething with anger, she knew it was over, but she still stood her ground. “Ted, How dare you slap me? I didn’t push her, she fell down herself. And did you know that Ava’s sickness has been cured since a month ago. She had been pretending all this while. It’s because I knew her secret, that’s why she wants to frame me.”Jane angrily blurted out all her frustration. “Just shut up already. Haven’t you harmed her enough? You have the guts to lie to me that she has been feigning her sickness for a month now. Did you think the doctors won’t tell me if her condition has gotten better? I saw you with my own eyes and you are still denying it. If anything happens to Ava, you will regret ever knowing me in your miserable life.” Saying that, he strolled away angrily, not even taking another glance at her. “Ted, at least hear my side of the story please.” Trying to run after him, she fell again for the second time due to her weak body. Her knees were in so much pain due to the fall, but she couldn’t care less about it as she tried getting up to continue chasing after him. After an hour, Ava was pushed out of the emergency room. Her forehead has been treated and also covered with gauze. “Teddy, I’m fine honestly, and Jane didn’t push me, I fell down the stairs myself.” Ava, who was accompanied by Teddy as they wheeled her to her ward, said to him weakly. “It’s okay Ava, there is no need to defend that heartless woman. And by the way, I saw when she pushed you down the stairs myself. Enough is enough, I’m going to teach her a very good lesson this time.” Taking out his phone from his inner suit jacket, he called his personal assistant, who picked up immediately. “Get through my lawyer immediately. Tell him it’s time for him to draft out the divorce agreement I told him about.” Without waiting for the other party to reply, he cut off the call. Ava was overjoyed hearing this. Had she known, she would have pulled off this taunt earlier. “Ted, this isn’t right, you wouldn’t just divorce her just because of this small mistake, you should calm down Ted.” She whispered with a sad look on her face as if she genuinely cared about Jane. “Why should I continue keeping up with her? By the way, I thought you don’t like her, why are you defending her?” He said as he stared at Ava meaningfully. After a while, he stood up as he gave her a small smile. He didn’t even think about why Ava that was sick would be outside of her ward in the first place. Not long after he left the ward, Jane walked in still looking weak with the small steps she took towards Ava, who was lying down on the bed. As she saw Jane, she couldn’t help giving her a smug look as she smiled beautifully. “Now that you have set me up, are you happy now?”. Jane said as she gritted her teeth in anger. “Miss, please who are you? I don’t even know you talk less of setting you up, please just get out of here. I don’t know what you are talking about.” “Ha! Ha! Ha! Now you know how to pretend right? It’s better you tell Ted yourself that I didn’t push you down the stairs, or else you will regret it.” “And what can you do to me? Even if you tell Teddy, do you think he will believe you? He would think you are framing me up just because you are guilty. If you want to tell him, go ahead.” Ava mockingly said. Jane knew what Ava said was true because, just now she told Teddy about Ava’s sickness being cured, he didn’t believe her. “Since you won’t confess yourself, I will make sure to get solid evidence to clear my name.” “And who gives you the right to enter here and bully her?” Hearing that familiar angry voice, Jane couldn’t help getting angrier.Sir Edward immediately rescued Ivy from his angry son. Leonard blamed his family for misleading him, making him accept Ivy as his wife. His mother breaks down in tears, asking her son forgiveness, telling him that they thought that Ivy was the only good woman for him.Leonard snorted. He didn’t wait to listen to their rubbish. It’s five in the morning when he left the hospital. He had told his family to forget having a son like him if he can’t get his wife back. This was when the Banks knew that they have wrong Leonard and his wife. However, there is no medicine for regret.Leonard made his way to the Lockwood’s mansion. Seeing their faces, he knew he wasn’t welcome here. He was also ashamed of himself. He asked them about Jane’s whereabouts but none of them speak to him. After a few minutes passed, the Lockwood still didn’t welcome him. Evelyn was the angriest among them. She lashed out at him, telling him how Jane had suffered silently for the past few month.Leonard left the Lockw
Days turned into weeks, before Jane knew it, three weeks had passed since Leonard wakes up. She had tried all her possible best to see him, but she was block from all angle. The day she had confronted him and his family, with Ivy at the hospital, that was the day she had seen her husband last. She had rushed to Dylan office that day to ask him about the reason Leonard forgot about her. Dylan was surprised at first. He didn’t believe that of all people, his friend would forget the woman he can sacrifice his life to protect. Dylan had explained that due to the gunshot, his brain might have been affected, shutting itself down of the memories of whatever happened when the incident happened.A weeks time, her pregnancy would be four month. Her baby bumps had already started getting noticed. Her mother had already know that she was pregnant. The Lockwoods were not happy with the Banks for treating Jane the way they treated her.Although they were the one at fault, they can’t tolerate thei
Leonard's head was spinning at Ivy’s words. Different broken images filled his mind. However, the woman in his memories, he didn’t see her face well. Her face was blurry, but her figure seems to look like the woman in front of him.With this, he didn’t doubt her anymore. “I’m sorry for forgetting about you, wife. What happened? How long have I been in the hospital?” Leonard asked Ivy the question he didn’t seem to have an answer to.Ivy explains everything to him. He answered all his questions. Hearing him call her “wife” made butterflies flutter in her stomach. She told him about how he tried to save someone, but he got hurt in the process. Ivy told him all sorts of bad things about Jane. Not only did she put him in this condition, she didn’t care about his health at all. Ivy lied to Leonard that Jane hadn’t been in the hospital since Leonard was confirmed to be in a coma. She told him that she was the only one that had stayed with him for the past two months.Leonard’s expression t
“You Lockwoods dare to deceive the Banks by giving out a divorcee for marriage?” Sir Edward walked towards the women and pointed a shaky finger at Jane and her mother.Evelyn was speechless. She doesn’t know how to defend her family since they were wrong in the first place. Just when sir Edward was about to continue cursing at Jane and her mother, the operating room light turned from red to green.Jane was the first to notice. She immediately rushed towards the door. Not long, Dylan and his team of doctors walked out.“Dylan, how is my husband?” Jane fist was clenched beside her, fearing the worst. Dylan's expression wasn’t smiling at all.“The operation was successful. However, when Leonard would wake up is still unknown. He was lucky enough that the bullet barely escaped his heart. He will be in the ICU for observation for the next twenty-four hours. If he wakes up before twenty-four hours, his life would be saved. If he doesn’t, be ready for the worst. After he informed them about
It wasn’t up to thirty minutes before Jane was revived. She wake up to see a nurse changing her drip, smiling down at her.“Mrs. Bank, you are awake?” The nurse was pleased that Jane woke up earlier than expected.Jane scanned the hospital room briefly, before she hurriedly stand up from the bed. She immediately removed the IV drip that was inserted in her vein.The nurse immediately panicked. “Mrs. Bank, where are you going to? This isn’t the right time for you to run around. You need enough rest.” Jane didn’t reply her. She continue moving towards the door. Seeing this, the nurse have no other choice than to inform her about how delicate she is at the moment.“Mrs. Bank, if you don’t want anything to happen to your baby, you need to calm down.” The nurse statement make Jane halt in her steps. She turned around to look at the nurse in confusion.Baby, where is the baby? Jane was confused as she looked around the hospital room, but no child was there. Seeing her dazed look, the nurse
Jane immediately raises her head from Leonard’s neck to see Teddy pointing a gun at the back of Leonard’s head. Her eyes widened in shock. No, she would never allow anything to happen to Leonard. How would she leave without him?“Teddy, are you sick? If you dare shoot at Leonard, I won’t spare you.” Jane screamed.Teddy was slightly dazed at being shouted at by Jane, who didn’t dare to even look at him in the face when she was still with him. Now, for the sake of another man, she dares to threaten him. He was unwilling. He couldn’t accept this. Jane was his. The only man she should care about was him.“If you want me to spare him, come here.” Teddy’s voice was slightly gentle as he spoke to Jane.Jane wanted to jump out of Leonard’s arms but Leonard wouldn’t allow her.“Stay still. Why are you so eager to jump into other men's arms in front of me?”Jane was furious. She hit Leonard’s chest in anger as she tried to free herself from him, however, he wouldn’t budge. This man, in the fac
