Ninety-Nine Wishes, One Broken Marriage Chapter 180
Then again, with Jeremy's personality, he'd always been quick to trust people.Jane had once thought she'd be able to go home soon. She never expected the delay would stretch past ten years.In all that time, how much had he suffered without her?Zachary scrambled to his feet, forcing a smile onto his face."See, there's n-no side effects at all."Jane shot him an indifferent glance. She was in no mood to say another word."Madison, see him out!"At that, Zachary's face changed."Ms. Cooper, didn't you say you'd use it once the test worked? You're going back on your word!"He lunged forward, desperate.After all, he had already paid the price. There was no way he'd let this go now!However, Madison stepped in front of him and blocked him."Guards, drag him away."The two guards outside the door came in and hauled Zachary away, with one on either side of him."No, you can't do this to me. You promised me!"Jane settled back onto the couch, her red lips curving up slightly

Her tone sounded like she was making idle talk.Yet the words themselves sent a chill straight through Zachary."Ms. Cooper, what do you…"Seeing this, Madison cut in sharply from the side."Dr. Cooper was selected through Ms. Cooper's trial. Are you suggesting there's something wrong with her selection process?"At that, Zachary flinched, and he waved his hands hastily."That's absolutely not what I meant! I'm only here to offer the injection, in exchange for the targeted drug that could treat my kidney disease.""The targeted drug?"Jane's red lips curved slightly."I do happen to have some of that."Delight crossed Zachary's face when he heard her say that. He hurriedly pulled two vials of the injection from his pocket."Yes, exactly. Ms. Cooper, look, I brought the medicine. There are two doses in total. You'll feel the effects right away with just one shot!"He had every reason to be confident.This medicine was made from a formula he had obtained abroad, which he had

Something flashed in her eyes, and she said through gritted teeth, "Jeremy, next time, even if you get down on your knees and beg, I won't let you touch me!"…At the banquet hall, row after row of tables were laden with a dazzling spread of food.Guests mingled and clinked glasses together. The atmosphere was truly lively.Up in the loft, Jane sat with a cat treat, playing with the cat in her lap.Just then, the head housekeeper, Madison, walked in."Ms. Cooper, the man who placed second in the trial, Zachary Larson, is asking to see you."Jane flicked the cat treat in her hand."What did he give you to make you break protocol and come ask me?"Having half expected as much, Madison held out Zachary's diagnostic report."This doctor's diagnosis and treatment plan were good enough that I had already been planning to let him pass the trial. Just now, he came to me again and said he had brought an injection with him. "He said that a single shot would be enough to cure you. I d

Camilla felt a dull ache settle in her chest. He had mentioned this back when they first met.She remembered it well. Back when he had first come to live with the Sloan family, she had looked into it a little herself.She had come up with nothing, though.On top of that, too many other things had weighed her down over the years.Jeremy had been giving her the cold shoulder all this while and never brought the matter up again.Camilla had assumed he had given up on finding his sister and had settled into building a life with her instead.Even after Jeremy left, she was certain he wouldn't get far. Back then, there had been a secret kind of relief in her heart that Jeremy still hadn't found his sister.After all, if he could actually move in somewhere else, he might never come back at all.However, what Camilla hadn't expected was that Jeremy had never stopped thinking about finding his sister. It had become something close to an obsession.That left her feeling a stab of guil

In the next second, a sudden force hit her, and she was shoved flat onto the bed.Her body bounced a couple of times upon the soft mattress. It didn't hurt, but it left her head spinning."I don't want to hear any of that. I can get you the targeted drug, but I have my own conditions."At that, Camilla, who was still lying on the bed, froze.After a moment of silence, she slowly sat up."I can promise you that once he's better, I'll keep my distance from him as much as I can. But he still has six wishes left, and I'll help him fulfill those. As for my family, I'll do my best to…"Before she could finish, Jeremy switched the light back on.With a click, the room flooded with light at once.Camilla instinctively squeezed her eyes shut.Jeremy looked at her.Camilla's clothes were in disarray. The fabric of her nightgown was slipping off one shoulder, baring a wide stretch of pale, delicate skin down to her collarbone.Her eyes were red-rimmed, and her cheeks a little hollow, w

Camilla's eyes flickered as she said in a hoarse voice, "Keep going."However, Jeremy seized the moment and shoved her off. Caught off guard, Camilla tumbled to the floor with a loud thump.She landed hard right on her backside."Ow…"Camilla sucked in a sharp breath at the pain.Jeremy didn't even spare her a glance. He got up, grabbed the phone off the nightstand, and hit the answer button.Zachary's excited voice immediately rang out through the quiet room."Camilla, the banquet's already started. Ms. Cooper will be out any minute. I just need you to keep Jeremy distracted for ten minutes. I've already gotten the medicine for the arm treatment. Once Ms. Cooper sees that it works, she'll choose me instead!"The moment those words left the speaker, Jeremy went still.Stiffly, he turned to look at Camilla, who was still sprawled on the floor.He pointed at the phone and let out a silent, humorless laugh."Keep me distracted?"The voice on the other end went silent.Camil
