Chapter 1018

Author: Lean
Jane washed her face, took a moment to gather herself, then straightened up and hugged him.

"Stop reflecting on yourself already, hearing it makes my pregnancy symptoms worse."

The tactic worked well, as she didn’t hear any more apologies from him afterward.

"I feel like eating an orange. Could you peel one for me?"

Zachary immediately carried her to the sofa, tucked a blanket over her, and sat beside her to peel the orange.

He meticulously removed every single white thread from the orange segments.

Resting her chin on her hand, Jane watched him and teased, "You’re treating me even better now that I’m pregnant. Do you love the baby more than me?"

Without hesitation, Zachary replied, "It’s because pregnancy is hard on you. If you hadn’t agreed to have the baby, I wouldn’t have kept—"

Before he could finish, Jane kicked him, silencing him.

He handed her the peeled orange.

Jane couldn’t taste her mood anymore, so she focused on eating the orange.

    However, the test results showed nothing wrong.Even after being in a coma for those days, his body remained strong thanks to the nutritional IV.As long as he avoided alcohol and irritating foods, his gastritis wouldn't flare up.It certainly wouldn't become severe enough to cause this kind of reaction.Yet Zachary's vomiting was even more intense than her pregnancy nausea.Even though there was nothing left to throw up—not even stomach acid—if he kept going, he might end up vomiting bile.It really didn’t seem like the symptoms of someone perfectly healthy.So Jane contacted Tanner.After hearing her description, Tanner chuckled.Jane felt as though Tanner was gloating."Isn’t this great? He’s throwing up for you, so you can feel a bit better."Jane was taken aback.Over the time she had spent taking Zachary to the doctor, she truly hadn’t felt any discomfort herself.She had thought it was because she hadn’t eaten much, so her symptoms were temporarily subsiding."Dr.

    Jane leaned in for a sniff. "Smells so good."Zachary’s worries were unnecessary, she only took a few bites before losing interest.The rest ended up in his stomach.Which then found its way to the toilet, and finally, down the drain.After Zachary rinsed his mouth, Jane peeled an orange for him. "Try this, see if it helps."Zachary ate the orange directly from her hand.It was so sour it made his teeth ache.Still, it seemed to provide some relief.Jane poured him some water."You don’t need to take care of me, I can handle myself.""And I can handle myself too," Jane retorted. "Why are you always doing things for me, then?""It’s different—you’re pregnant."Zachary drank a sip of the water, mostly because she had poured it."I’m just throwing up a little," said Jane.She had experienced it before—constant retching, even with nothing left in her stomach. That kind of discomfort was hard to endure.His voice was hoarse by now, which showed just how bad it had gotten.At

    At the hospital.Rebecca listened to Sean's report.When she heard that Zachary had come to the hospital, she immediately panicked. "I knew that woman was bad luck! Ever since Zachary got together with her, he's been plagued with all sorts of misfortune and illness!"Eric hesitated before speaking. "Zachary went to see the doctor because of morning sickness?""What?"Rebecca couldn't believe her ears. "Do you even hear how ridiculous that sounds?"Sean chimed in, "It’s true."Rebecca was rendered speechless.Sean explained, "I consulted with an expert. This kind of situation is rare but does happen. If a husband deeply loves his wife, seeing her suffer during pregnancy can cause him to experience symptoms like morning sickness."At that moment, Rebecca felt like a beehive had exploded in her ears.All she could hear was a loud buzzing noise.It took her a long moment to recover before she scoffed."He’s such a good husband, isn’t he? I risked my life to give birth to him an

    The Collins family’s expressions all changed.Although Madam Collins had spoken so casually, deep down, she was certainly still displeased about Zachary marrying Jane.She had simply seen the deeper truth. Zachary was resolute about Jane.She also understood that Zachary was no longer someone they could control.But when this was bluntly laid bare, her chest still tightened.“What do you mean by that?” Rebecca pressed.Sean merely replied, “That’s all I can say. And that’s because of the bond we share as former master and servant. After all, now I must follow Mr. Collins’s orders.”The room fell into a prolonged silence.Madam Collins broke it with a soft chuckle.She looked at Rebecca and said, “You said he doesn’t acknowledge you as his mother, yet he could have quietly gone off to register the marriage without us knowing, but instead, he let Sean inform us.”Rebecca didn’t immediately react.Madam Collins clarified, “He specifically instructed Sean to pass the news to you

    “These are all the photos of landscapes and animals you’ve taken over the years?”“Yes, I didn’t have anything else to gift, but I thought the baby could experience these through pictures while young and then go see them in person when older.”“You’re so thoughtful! I’ll thank you on behalf of this little embryo, Auntie.”Jane genuinely liked it. After flipping through the album, she instinctively tried to pass it to someone nearby but then remembered that Zachary had gotten out of the car when Jordan got in. He was now riding in the vehicle behind them.She placed the album into the front passenger seat’s storage compartment and then started chatting with Jordan about her recent experiences.Jordan said, “Not much, really. Things went pretty smoothly overall. I gave all the photos to the media. I hope it can raise awareness and help save more girls. That place was hell on earth for them.”Jane nodded. “You did an amazing job.”After her praise, she asked, “What do you want to e

    It was the habit of someone accustomed to a high position."What’s wrong?" the man asked, his deep voice carrying a clear warmth."Look at you, acting so cheap. If you’re happy, just smile. Why pretend?"Frank, after all, was now happily settled.Seeing others in turmoil, he liked to tease them."No wonder you can’t win your wife back."Westley was rendered speechless.Jordan, not wanting to join the topic, quickly ran off.Frank joked, "See? Your wife just ran off again."Westley clenched his molars tightly.One by one, these happy people were taking turns mocking him."If you’re not going to help, at least don’t make things worse."Frank clicked his tongue and said, "Wow, the resentment is strong."Charlotte, holding Frank’s arm, tried to smooth things over. "That’s enough, Mr. Smith. Stop making fun of others."Westley was rendered speechless.‘Thanks. Appreciate that...’Charlotte added, "And stop mentioning Zachary’s pregnancy symptoms—it’s a sign of love."Frank chuckled. "If it’

    After all, most marriages were alliances based on mutual interests, with little emotional connection at the beginning.As the ties between the two families grew closer and pressure to have children increased, feelings gradually developed.His mistake lay in the three years of neglect.Even when he knew she was struggling, he didn’t step in to help.His purpose was to make her forget her feelings for him.But when she truly forgot, the pain in his heart became unbearable."If even the marriage certificate is gone, I’m afraid..."It was the first time Frank had ever heard the word "afraid" come out of Westley’s mouth.The Howard family was a renowned and powerful family. When others were still struggling with startups or working regular jobs, they had already monopolized the shipping industry and begun expanding into other sectors.As the eldest son, Westley had not only been showered with love since birth but also carried the responsibility of ensuring the Howard family’s conti

    Even with two people between them, Westley could hear clearly. She was sitting right next to them—how could she possibly not have heard?Charlotte glanced at Westley, then raised her hand to gently smooth Jordan’s hair."Just small talk. Why are you so nervous? I was just thinking, if you don’t have someone you like, once you’re divorced, I could introduce someone to you."Westley gripped the glass in his hand tightly.The transparent glass began to show faint cracks.Frank’s lips curved slightly, and a hint of mischief flashed through his eyes."Mr. Howard, if you’re getting divorced, you shouldn’t stay single. The Howard family still needs a proper hostess to run the household."Westley’s sharp phoenix-like eyes narrowed slightly.What kind of game were these two playing, singing in such perfect harmony?"I have no intention of getting a divorce."Frank dragged out an exaggerated "oh" and shifted slightly, moving the arm he had draped over the back of Charlotte’s chair. His

    On the other side, Caleb threw his phone aside.The force was considerable, and it landed with a loud thud.If not for its special design, the screen would likely have shattered by now.Max, standing nearby, laughed. Seeing him silently drinking, he asked knowingly, "What's the matter? Has your wife taken a liking to someone else?"If it were anyone else, if their husband left without a word and answered a phone call with such cold indifference, they would surely be angry.Even if they didn't make a fuss, there would at least be some sign of frustration.Max guessed that Caleb wouldn't say anything, so he flipped open a blank document, his tone sarcastic. "Come on, you've traveled all the way from Yelar to Impelia for a business trip. It must be for a deal worth tens of billions, right?"He wrote "10 billion" on the blank sheet of paper, signed his name in the bottom corner, and handed it to Caleb. "Alright, sign here."Caleb gave it a cursory glance, his expression cold.Even

    When Whitney went out, she ran into Yvonne and handed her the car keys. "Sorry for the trouble, Yvonne.""It's no trouble. I’ll just give them to Millie later on. Don't worry about it.""Okay."Whitney waved goodbye to Yvonne and got into Georgina's car.Georgina exchanged a few words with Yvonne before driving off.On the road, she asked, "Why didn't you get your driver's license?"Whitney replied, "I did, but I haven't driven on the road yet. I'm afraid I might damage Gilbert's car.""How could that happen?" Georgina laughed. "Gilbert's identity is special. The car has armor on the outside, it's crash-resistant, bulletproof, and resistant to everything.""As long as you avoid pedestrians, you'll be fine."Whitney still didn't dare.Georgina asked, "Didn't Caleb help you practice? He doesn't have much to do anyway."Caleb had indeed offered to help her practice driving.But she didn't dare, afraid of crashing his car, something she could never afford to repair.She liked

    His eyes were ice cold. His noble background and the inherent sense of authority he carried made her feel breathless.She stood there for a while, then picked up the plate and walked over.Tentatively, she asked, "Do you... do you want some food?"Caleb looked at her for a few seconds before opening his mouth.Whitney sighed in relief, using a fork to pick up a piece of pasta to feed him.Seeing that he seemed to be eating fine, she slowly continued feeding him.Suddenly, she asked, "Was your alcohol poisoning a lie?"Caleb was still a little stirred up inside, his voice calm as he asked, "Do you want to have an argument?"Whitney didn't dare.She had only suddenly remembered this matter.Earlier, he had pinned her down for a while, yet she hadn't noticed anything wrong.Even if he was physically fine, he had gone to the hospital today, and surely, he shouldn't have had this much energy at night.Although she didn't know why his mother had lied with him, she understood that

    Whitney was surprised and said sincerely, "Both of you are really talented."Georgina smiled, "We're from the same orphanage. We're not biological sisters, but we're just like real sisters."At that moment, Taylor came over, and Yvonne introduced her to Whitney.Taylor was also a quiet person. The two smiled at each other and then fell into silence.Georgina said to Taylor, "Get ready. His flight should be tomorrow night."Taylor's face immediately darkened. "Okay."Whitney sensed that something was off, but seeing their expressions, she wisely didn't ask."Let's go," Caleb returned with the food and called out to Whitney.Whitney didn't want to go back. "I want to talk with Georgina for a while."Caleb didn't speak, only looked at her, but his gaze was cold.Reluctantly, Whitney followed him back.Yvonne hooked her arm around Georgina's shoulder, watching Whitney follow Caleb to the room.She smiled slightly. "She looks really cute. Just like when you were Lucifer's secret

    Whitney deeply regretted it when Caleb pinned her down in the hot spring pool.She should have just driven the car back slowly. Once they were in the city, she could switch drivers.She could have said she was nervous driving, that she was too tired, and surely she would have been able to avoid all of this.Instead, she had chosen to stay here and do something so embarrassing."This is an outdoor hot spring..."The boldest thing Whitney had ever done was when a man with some power had used his position to take advantage of her.At that time, she had been truly frustrated.She had worked so hard, with blood on her hands, just to survive and live a stable life.Yet, there was always someone trying to make her life difficult.In a fit of anger, she had used a brow-shaping knife to hurt that man.If it weren't for meeting Zachary, she would definitely be worse off than a street rat by now.But Caleb could always break her understanding of things and perform such bold actions."

    "Georgina should know him better than I do, since you've known him longer than I have."Georgina nodded. "That's true, which is why I asked you if he's always bullying you. I just know how annoying his personality can be."Millie agreed, "Exactly.""Whitney, I've told you from the moment I met you—if you're being bullied, you have to tell me."But Whitney had never told her anything!She had thought that Caleb loved her so much that he wouldn't do anything to bully Whitney.But today, she realized that wasn't the case."You really have to listen to Georgina."Whitney nodded repeatedly but still said, "He hasn't bullied me, you guys don't need to worry."Some things, even though she admired and liked the Georgina, she couldn't say.If Caleb got angry, she would be the one to suffer. And perhaps it would also affect the Collins family.Since there was nothing wrong between them as a couple, outsiders wouldn't say much.Georgina's earlier remarks were also a subtle probe.It

    Millie laughed so hard that her stomach hurt. She pointed at Caleb with a chicken leg. "Look at you now."She hugged Whitney, unable to contain her excitement. "You really stood up for me, Whitney."Whitney slowly processed what had just happened and turned to look at Caleb.Caleb, arms crossed, leaned back in his chair with a displeased expression on his face.Whitney nervously bit her lip. "I'm sorry..."Caleb's displeasure deepened. "Why are you apologizing?"Whitney looked at him sincerely. "I shouldn't have joined in teasing you. You're my husband, I should have spoken up for you."Caleb's anger suddenly dissipated.He patted Whitney on the head. "Alright, you've made progress. I'll forgive you this time, but don't let it happen again."Whitney nodded. "Thank you."The three girls across from them were all taken aback.The one laughing the hardest, Millie, was now staring wide-eyed.She had never seen anyone pursue someone like this.Caleb was unbelievable.Blake, ho

    Whitney glanced at the steak and said she wasn't going to eat anymore, she was full.But her gaze remained fixed on Georgina.Caleb was rendered speechless.Georgina noticed this and rested her chin in her hand, looking at Whitney with a smile. "Whit likes me, doesn't she?"Up until now, only Jane and the others had called her Whit.But hearing it from her idol felt completely different.Whitney immediately felt a surge of nervousness. The flush from the hot spring had barely faded, but now it quickly came rushing back.She stammered, unable to speak for a long while.Georgina's smile deepened. "What's so embarrassing? I like Whit too.""That’s enough." Caleb tightened his grip on his knife and fork, afraid he might accidentally fling them."Lucifer's getting old, and he's not satisfying you anymore, is he?"What was she doing, flirting with his wife?Georgina removed her hand from her chin and gave Caleb a big thumbs up."I wouldn't dare to say that word, but you're reall

    "If I stopped him from coming in, the things he could do would be worse than what's happening now."Yvonne changed into a green, form-fitting long dress, adjusting her makeup and hair in front of the mirror."Then I wouldn't be able to do business at all."Georgina crossed her arms and leaned against the doorframe. "I can tell you never really intended to stop him."Yvonne glanced at her, her eyes soft and seductive.Georgina reached out and pinched her. "If I were him, I'd want to sleep with you too.""Get lost." Yvonne pushed her hand away. "Then have Lucifer handle it for me. Anyway, I don't have the authority to stop Blake. He’s a member of the Hilton family, after all."Georgina straightened up and became serious. "Are you sure?"Yvonne didn't answer, adjusting the straps of her dress as she walked out of the bathroom.Georgina smiled. "I knew you weren't serious."She draped her arm around Yvonne's shoulder as they walked out together. "Let's have a good talk. His paren
