Chapter 896 You've Got a Problem
"What's wrong?" Anthony quickly scanned Jane's body, feeling her stiffness. "Where does it hurt?"
"My eyes hurt." Jane looked at Anthony.
Anthony knew she was deliberately lying to him. Jane was very delicate, especially afraid of pain. Even in high school, when she had a fever, she would come up with all sorts of excuses to avoid getting a shot, and she had even run away from the hospital before.
She was stubborn and never showed any signs of fatigue in front of people she didn't trust, let alone admit she was in pain.
Anthony stared at Jane's swollen cheeks, thinking she had a toothache.
After a while, he said, "I'll have Sadie bring you an ice pack."
As Anthony walked out of the small room, before he could call someone, there was a sudden bang behind him.
The door was closed.
Then came the sound of the door locking.
Anthony was stunned for a moment, amused by the scene.
He thought, 'She has become foolish. This is my home, and I have the key.'
Jane sat back on the edge of the bed, not daring to move. Because every movement would cause pain. Anthony's strong grasp made her wonder if he had crushed her bones just now.
The lock clicked open from the outside.
Jane instantly became alert.
As soon as Anthony opened the door, he saw Jane on the bed looking at him warily, like a cub ready to attack at any moment.
"Anthony, don't come in!" Jane suddenly raised her voice.
Anthony paused for a moment, then continued to enter, closing the door behind him and silently staring at her.
Jane was mentally and physically exhausted. The outside world thought that the former Miss Watkins of the Watkins family had coerced the cold and handsome Anthony to be submissive due to her power and influence. But in reality, Jane knew better than anyone that although she appeared indifferent on the surface, she was actually dominated by Anthony, and she couldn't resist him.
"Anthony, your fiancée is in the hospital. Your child almost didn't make it, do you know?" Jane just wanted to drive Anthony away.
"I know," Anthony replied calmly.
He only found out this on the way back.
However, he didn't care about Aurora, let alone the child in Aurora's belly.
After all, that child wasn't his.
"You know and you 're still staying here?" Jane couldn't believe it. "Do you know that Aurora ended up in the hospital, and the child almost didn't make it because I angered her?"
"Jane, do you know you have a problem?"
"I know, I have plenty of problems !"
Anthony gazed intensely at Jane. She might not have realized that she was a very sensitive person, likely influenced by her father's negative image. She valued human life greatly and was afraid of becoming as indifferent to others' lives as her father.
Therefore, when Aurora had an accident, Jane immediately took the blame without any doubt.
"You go see your fiancée quickly and don't show up in front of me." Jane took a deep breath, feeling like her heart and lungs were about to burst, unsure if it was due to anger or something else.
"Jane."
"Anthony!" Jane's voice rose. The intense pain in her cheeks and corners of her mouth made her eyes instantly fill with tears.
"Anthony, can you leave me. Go see your fiancée and child. Can you and others from the Clark family stop bothering me? I just want to take care of your fiancée to have a delivery and then leave. I just want to find my brother!
"How many times do I have to tell you. I regret it. I regret provoking you when I was young and ignorant. I shouldn't have forced you to be my boyfriend. I was wrong"
She looked up at the ceiling self-deprecatingly, muttering to herself, "I can actually admit my mistakes in my life, huh?"
A knock came from outside the door.
"Mr. Clark, the things you wanted are here." Sadie's voice sounded.
Anthony opened the door and took a tray with clean towels and ice packs, along with two tubes of ointment.
"Leave it. I'll do it myself," Jane said when Anthony picked up the ice pack.
Anthony glanced at her. But it seemed like Sadie had something else to tell him outside, so he left.
Jane closed the door behind him, looked at it in silence for two seconds, and picked up the ice pack to apply it.
Her face was hers, even if she was angry, there was no reason to take it out on her face.
She didn't deserve that slap.
As the towel wrapped around the ice pack touched her face, Jane winced in pain.
This wince also pulled at the wound on her back.
Unable to bear the pain, she angrily threw the ice pack aside.
"Mr. Clark, your mother called to say Ms. Dewar fell asleep and kept calling your name, so she asked you to come over," Sadie said.
"What happened this afternoon?"
How was Aurora doing? Did she call out to him in her dreams? He didn't care at all.
Sadie truthfully replied, "Ms. Dewar took Ms. Watkins to the room, and they had a few disputes. Ms. Dewar said her stomach hurt, then she was taken to the hospital."
"Why did they argue?" From Anthony's understanding to Jane, she was not one to engage in verbal disputes with others.
When it came to arguments, she would resort to physical means rather than verbal, unlike usual girls.
"Mr. Clark, you should watch the surveillance video later." Sadie found it difficult to elaborate.
Having seen many schemes in the wealthy family, she was much more insightful than Ann. She understood that although Jane's words today were indeed directed at Aurora, they were not wrong.
If Aurora didn't have a guilty conscience, she wouldn't have been provoked by Jane's words to the point of going to the hospital.
"Okay." Anthony didn't want to trouble Sadie and asked, "Who threatened Jane to come and take care of Aurora?"
Anthony only found out Jane came to their house today.
He knew Jane very well. If it weren't for necessity, she would never willingly set foot in this mansion again.
Anthony was well aware that Jane, delicate as she was, would never willingly endure suffering here.
"It was the Mrs. Ann Clark," Sadie sighed, "She used Jovan to threaten Ms. Watkins, saying that if Ms. Watkins came to accompany Ms. Dewar, she would help find out about Jovan's whereabouts."
Jovan had been missing for so long. Anthony expected Jane would find out the news sooner or later. Over the past six months, he had spent a lot of money and effort searching for Jovan, but there had been no news at all.
Anthony never expected his mother to know this information. He thought, 'There has to be something wrong with this!'
