Chapter 783
Zachary naturally believed such words.
He knew they weren’t just useless threats.
But ever since he decided to be with Jane, he had anticipated this situation.
He steadied his emotions and calmly said, “Grandma, if that day really comes, and you put Jane in danger, then my ties with the Collins family will be severed completely.”
“I’ll make it clear. I will only be with her. You know what I mean.”
Zachary’s words caused Madam Collins to be hospitalized in the end.
However, it wasn’t too serious, she insisted on being hospitalized in the same room as Sir Collins.
Regardless of the truth, given the current situation, Zachary couldn’t continue to oppose
them.
Though his family was strict, they didn’t constantly scold him.
When things reached a deadlock like this, it was also for Jane’s safety.
But it hadn’t come to that point yet.
Charlotte returned to accompany Jane.
Frank stayed behind to prevent any unexpected situations.
When Eric arrived that night, he saw Zachary and, without saying a
kicked him.
Zachary knelt on one knee without uttering a sound.
Rebecca stepped forward to intervene. “What are you doing? If you have something to say, just say it. Why resort to violence?”
Sir Collins and Madam Collins, lying in their beds, also gestured to stop him.
They were somewhat displeased. “What good does hitting him do? Are you going to beat him to death?”
Eric became even angrier. “Who am I doing this for? It’s all your fault for indulging him!”
Rebecca was the first to disagree. “He trained in the wild as a child, eating bugs and grass roots. Did I say anything then?”
“What do you mean we indulged him? He’s made mistakes now, but that’s no excuse for you to hit him.”
Eric scoffed. “I didn’t hit him, I used my foot!”

Rebecca raised her hand and slapped his back. A son hit his father, but I can hit my husband. If you think it’s alright, you can hit me back.”
Eric turned in a circle in frustration, finally muttering three words. “Fine, fine, fine.”
Rebecca helped him up, but he knelt back down
“It’s my fault for upsetting Grandma, but I’m not joking around. I don’t care whether you have any intentions toward Jane, but you better not. Now that you’re all here, let me say it again. I will only be with her for both life and death.”
The ward became awkwardly silent.
