The Substitute’s Redemption Chapter 8
The Harrisons flinched at the noise and trembled in fear.“Apologize!”Peter nearly collapsed to his knees, cold sweat beaded across his forehead. Ursula was the first to give in, bowing her head as she broke down.“We’re sorry, Young Master Ethan. We were wrong to frame Jane. We’ll never do it again!”Ethan coughed repeatedly. “My voice is the one who deserves your apology, it’s her forgiveness that you need!”“It was our fault, Jane. Forgive us”, Ursula forced the words out.The absurdity of the situation was not lost on Jane, the Harrisons had always treated her like a servant. Never had she thought that they would grovel for her mercy.Ethan took note of Jane’s silence. She must have been bullied horribly by them in the past, he thought.“I told you, you’re mine now, and I will not let anyone hurt you. I’ll get them to apologize on their knees”.Jane felt delight in her heart at seeing the Harrisons being brought low. She had been beaten by them since she was a child, labeled a lo

“It’s up to you, I’m not picky”.Jane nodded and realized that with his illness, he would have to abstain from a log of food but he must be keeping them to himself out of worry that she won’t be up to the task.Ethan was truly a kind hearted man. They had barely known each other for twenty four hours, yet he had made his anger, on her behalf, known to the Harrison’s in their home.No doubt, there was an image she had to maintain as part of the Harrington family now, but she still found herself grateful for everything she had gained marrying him.“I’ll cook bone broth then: it will make your legs stronger”.She wasted no time in leaving to but some pork ribs.Her brows furrowed at the price but she bought a pound of ribs anyway, ignoring the way her wallet cried out.Noting her reluctance, Ethan reminded her with a smile, “The money from earlier belongs to you, it’s yours to spend”.Jane disagreed, “Better to save for a rainy day. The money from the betrothal and dowry belongs to us, I

She nodded vigorously like a hen pecking corn. She had promised him that she would take care of him; she hadn’t been planning to continue staying on campus anyway.“What about you?” Ethan asked with a raised brow, “Feel free to tell me any requests you have”.“I don’t have any!”Stroking her head, he said, “Don’t be in a rush to answer. Take some time to think about what you need before getting back to me”.“Okay”.She was already grateful that he had allowed her to continue with her studies. She would study hard, and who knows, she might even be able to help heal him in the future!Later at night, Ethan finished showering. He spared a glance at the master bedroom, then pushed his wheelchair over to the guest bedroom wher he knocked on the door.Jane opened door while drying her tresses, looking adorable in a pair of panda themed pajamas.“Yes?”“Would you rather come to the master bedroom or have me come over here?”Jane didn’t respond. She eyes him, trying to decipher his meaning.“W

“Jane! Be serious with me”, Ivy’s eyes were practically bulging out of her head.“Everyone knows that Young Master Ethan is a cripple who can barely walk, the accident practically drained half his life from him”.“He relies on medication now, but he won’t live past half a year more, so he’s a lunatic, unstable, a —”With a sigh, Jane explained the situation involving Stacy. Ivy brought her fist down on the table in rage.“The Harrisons are too much, to ship you off to meet such a fate”.Fearing that someone would hear her, Jane rushed to clamp a hand over Ivy’s mouth.“Quiet”, she hissed, “you know nothing about the Harrisons. Besides, I don't regret marrying Ethan Harrington”.“He might be in poor shape, but he’s a good person, nothing like what the rumors say”.“You idiot”, Ivy hissed back, “He won’t live long in that condition. What will happen to you then, as his widow? If the Harrisons are capable of treating you like that, then after he is… is gone, what do you think they’ll do t

“Jane, that book’s level of difficulty is a little advanced. If you want to learn about traditional medicine, you should try to glean the basics from this book”, he suggested in a crisp, clear voice, holding out a second book with a smile.Jane edged to the side, keeping her distance from him, she had indeed been looking for that book.“Thank you”.Brock passed her the book, sensing her reservations about him and frowned slightly.He sat next to Jane, “I’ve read all these books, if you don’t understand anything, you can ask me. I’d love to hear the opinion of our top student here”.At his words, Jane became alert; when it came to her area so interest, she was nothing short of ernest. Ivy say opposite them, observing silently. Jane, naive and darling that she was, didn’t even spare a glance at the fine, handsome man beside her.Brock’s eyes, in the other hand, lingered on her and his manner constantly betrayed little signs of doting.She pursed her lips. This man was most definitely int

“You should try them on, Miss. They are excellent choices”.Jane’s gaze drifted to a few dresses but she still hesitated, not moving.Ethan saw the conflict in her crystalline eyes. He couldn’t help how his voice softened as he said, “Don’t worry. It costs nothing to try on the clothes and their price can be negotiated later”.The crease between her brows disappeared at his words. Finally, she selected a few pieces of clothing. When she was finished trying them on, she felt rather shy. It had been a long time since she’d worn any new clothes.The pale yellow dress brought out the fairness of her complexion, it’s V-neck suited her as did the pinched waist and flowery patterns on the outer tulle layer of the skirt.“How is it?”, she asked Ethan blushing, eyes shining as she awaited his opinion.“It’s gorgeous”.Ethan studied her slender waist, the way the dress hugged the curves of her body was truly alluring.“Try on a few more”.Jane laughed giddily, unable to contain her joy, then hea

Jane recovered her senses quickly and got to her feet for the lucky draw. She drew a number card from the lucky draw and opened it, only to find that she had won the first prize!“Congratulations Miss”, the staff member exclaimed, “In addition to the ten percent discount off all your items today, you also get a buy one get one free deal!“You’re indeed a lucky man, dear!”Ethan smiled, “These dual promotions are a rare opportunity, you should make use of it and get a few more things”.Jane couldn’t resist such a tantalizing deal. In the end, her shopping amounted to fifty bags worth a total of two hundred dollars! She had been prepared for her wallet to bleed when she paid; now she stared at the staff member in disbelief as they calculated the price of her items.“Surely there’s some mistake? All this for only two hundred dollars?”“There’s no mistake”, the staff member smiled almost derisively, “not with both the deals for today!”Jane had been certain that there was an error, but sh

At the mention of her mother, fury burned through Jane, flushing her face. Her knuckles turned white, trembling with rage and for one second, murder flashed in her eyes.She had left the Harrisons’ household; she didn’t have to tread on eggshells around them anymore. No… she could retaliate freely.“Marcy, you regularly steal Stacy’s jewelry and when she can’t find them, you allow me to be maligned and beaten. For my own good, you say? Who’s the shameless one here?”Marcy’s sneer slipped, giving away to embarrassment before taking on a caustic, bitter edge.“What proof do you have? You liar — you were clearly the one brazen enough to steal and now you’re blaming me? The Harrisons were too kind to you. They should have beaten you to death a long time ago!”Before Jane could retort, the man in the wheelchair grabbed her hand.“This woman used to beat you?”Briefly stunned, Jane’s eyes drifted to Marcy whose face was written over with unabashed mockery. She nodded. It was true — Marcy wou
