Crises in Love (Zora and Jaylan) novel Chapter 293

Janice nodded. "Yeah, he's been here, but we didn't let him get close. Baber has guards stationed outside, keeping an eye out. He couldn't get in! And he didn't dare to force his way in. He knows that once Baber is involved, it wouldn't end well for him if he tried anything."

"He's afraid of trouble then!" I sarcastically commented.

"It's not that Baber didn't care before. I just didn't want him involved in our family matters!" Janice explained, "I didn't want to burden him! But now…"

I patted her shoulder. "Bad guys need a nemesis! Irving is a sly one. It's good for him to know that you have support! He's not to be underestimated!"

"I'm fed up with it all. He checks in here every day, but he has no idea what's going on inside." Janice looked disgruntled.

"Did Nettie come?"

"Yes! Like father, like daughter. I just can't..." Janice sighed. "Thankfully, Dr. Dailey has been very responsible. He not only switched our hospital room, but also arranged for specific doctors and nurses. This room is now restricted. Only those he approved can come in!"

I nodded in approval. "That's good. At least it's safe for now. When you guys are better, we can move you somewhere even safer."

"How's your baby these past few days?" I asked Janice.

Janice sighed, "My baby was born prematurely, so he's a bit weak. The doctor said he needs to stay in the incubator for a while. I visit him every day. He's so tiny, it's heartbreaking."

Tears welled up in her eyes as she said it. A mother's love was indeed profound.

To be honest, I had never seen Janice so emotional before.

"It's going to be okay! This is already a blessing in disguise!" I comforted her, "Don't worry, preemies are quite common, and modern medicine is advanced. He'll get stronger, you'll see!"

She sniffled and looked at me. "I hope you're right. Now, tell me about you. I heard from Geneva that you got back all the assets that were mortgaged, even the ones in the joint account. Is that true?"

I gave her a satisfied smile, replying, "Yes, everything's back. Not only that, but I'm also working on liquidating Jaylan's secret assets. I believe it won't take long!"

Janice grabbed my hand and said, "Allie, I really admire you. You're decisive and ruthless. You do what needs to be done. You didn’t give them any opportunity. A quick victory is the key! Otherwise, if they had time to regroup, it wouldn't have been so easy!"

"Actually, he lost because of his greed! He was eyeing the mine. He wanted to take it all." I chuckled, "But greed is a trap, a deadly temptation! He's fallen into it now!"
