Chapter 72
Jane held back at first but then snatched the phone from me in one swift move, her illness didn’t weaken her fighting spirit in the slightest.
“Jessica, don’t you have a mirror? Or are you just blind? You can’t even hide the words ‘mistress‘ on your face, can you? And you, Ryan, who the hell do you think you are…”
I shivered after hearing those words, not waiting for them to escalate the conversation, I lunged forward and hung up the phone!
Jane wasn’t done venting her anger. “Why did you hang up? I was about to give those two a piece of my
mind!”
“Calm down,” I said.
I originally felt extremely aggrieved, but now I calmed down. I poured a glass of water for Jane. “Actually, if Ryan really listens to her, it might be better for everyone if we got divorced.”
Given the current situation between Ryan and me, letting each other go might be the best choice.
“Are you really okay with that?” Jane took a big gulp of hot water, getting more and more worked up. “I support you getting divorced, but I don’t want you to be so spineless about it. How dare the mistress think she’s better than the wife? Who does she think she is?”
“That’s not the problem here.” Leaning against the edge of the sofa, I placed my hand on my belly, as if drawing strength from it, and said quietly. “As long as the child is healthy, I think everything is worthwhile, and there is hope for the future.”
I just wanted to get divorced soon and leave the Frost family.
Jelaston was so big, that as long as it wasn’t intentional, Ryan and I probably wouldn’t meet again.
That way, I could focus on taking care of my child and keeping my child company.
In the near future, he would start calling me “mom” softly and sweetly.
With that thought in mind, my heart softened.
Nothing really mattered now as long as my child could grow up healthily and happily.
As long as they didn’t harm my child, I wouldn’t mind anything they did.
Jane’s anger also subsided. “You have a point. Only people like me who have nothing to lose aren’t scared of them. You’re pregnant now, and the child should come first.”
“Does Ryan really listen to her?”
“Not fornow.” I shook my head. “At least he’ll have to wait until after Grandpa’s birthday party.”
Both he and Jessica feared Grandpa.
And I was worried that Grandpa’s health wouldn’t withstand the shocking news.
That’s coming soon.” Jane nodded. “Tell me, does Ryan really like her, or is he morally bound by her mother’s lifesaving grace?”

“Who knows.” I had no interest in guessing.
The cause didn’t matter. What was important was the result.
Every time, he chose Jessica.
Jane pondered, “With Jessica’s personality, Ryan must be blind to like her… It must be the lifesaving
grace.
“Let’s say…” I suddenly became curious. “If one day you found out that the person you’ve always trusted actually killed your closest relative, what would you do?”
“I don’t have any close relatives.” Jane didn’t hesitate. There was a hint of loneliness in her eyes, and I couldn’t help but feel sorry for her. Just as I was about to comfort her, she curved her lips and said, “But if someone tried to harm you, I would definitely fight them with everything I have.”
