The Central Hospital.
Jane was in the middle of her examination when the door of the treatment room was pushed open. She looked up and saw Jeffery enter with a grim expression. He was looking her up and down. His eyes were sombre and he was silent for a long time.
Jane was a little scared by his gaze. She lowered her head and dared not look at him.
After a long time, Jeffery looked at the doctor who treated Jane and asked in a deep voice, "How is she?"
The doctor put antiseptic cotton in his medical case, "It's not a big deal, just some trauma. I already applied the medicine to it and she will be all right in a few days."
Jeffery breathed a sigh of relief and then asked, "Does she need to be hospitalized?"
"Not necessary. It is well to go home and rest." said the doctor, writing out a prescription. "I'll prescribe some medicine for you. You can all go home after you get the medicine."
After the doctor had gone, Jeffery looked at Jane for a long time. He was very angry, but when he saw Jane's injuries, his anger suddenly disappeared.
He sat on the edge of the bed, and gently tucked Jane's hair behind her ear and asked softly, "Does it hurt?"
Jane shook her head. "No."
Jeffery felt angry and distressed when he saw her still pretending to feel no pain despite her injury.
He was silent for a long time, then he held her in his arms and gently stroked her head with his slender fingers. He said softly, "Do not worry, I'll get revenge for you."
Jane hurriedly refused. "I don't mind. Mr. Jones. Let it go."
It was not that Jane wanted to be a good person, but because she knew she had neither power nor influence in Boston. She was no match for Susie and Mona. They had vented their anger today, but Jeffery had already helped her. If she spoke of it again, she would suffer in the future.
