Chapter 251
Only Jane could make Hugh’s blood full of fever.
Only Jane could cure Hugh’s increasingly out of control frustration and insomnia.
Only Jane could make everyone get to realize what hardships Hugh had gone through when he was believed to make himself rise above the common herd by relying on his talents.
Jane was watching the situation below.
However, Luna kept uttering a heartrending cry.
It felt good to see her being abused like this.
But her constant cries made one annoyed.
It was likely to cause physical discomfort.
Jane felt a burning gaze on her. She glanced at Hugh and asked, “Why are you looking at me like that? Is there something on my face?”
After saying that, she even reached out to touch it.
“Janie, I love you.”
Hugh’s affectionate and unexpected confession almost made Jane choke on her saliva.
“Hugh, why did you tell me that out of the blue?”
Moreover, Luna, his nominal cousin, had her fingers cut off.
In any case… this atmosphere was extremely strange!
“I just wanted to, so I said it.”
“Other than my grandmother, no one… has ever really asked me what I’ve been through.”
Hugh lowered his eyes to mask his emotions.
He knew that this was not the right time.
He just wanted to say it out loud….
He wanted to let this woman know.
He couldn’t wait to let her know how much he loved her.
Jane fell into silence.
She gazed at this man who was high above but only showed such a fragile appearance in front of her.
Hugh was like the king of beasts who had fought countless battles and beheaded countless generals.
Only when he returned to his ‘nest’ all by himself would he ****the scars that were left behind after the battle, which tortured them day and night.
Now.
Such a man took the initiative to expose his scar in front of Jane.
Jane pursed her lips and reached out to hold Hugh’s hand.
Hugh’s body felt like it had been electrocuted.
Gradually
Their fingers intertwined.
“No matter what the future holds, at least for now, I’will be by your side.
“No matter what happened in the past, at least for now, you’ve made it through and are right beside me.”
Jane’s voice had a kind of magic that spoke of poetry.
“And here’s another one…
“I couldn’t participate in your past, but now and in the future, I won’t let go of this hand.”
“Janie, you can’t get rid of me anymore.”
Hugh held Jane tightly. His eyes were burning, and his voice was gentle, warming her heart.
Jane’s face cracked into a smile as she said, “We’ll see if you’re capable of keeping me by your side.”
The two of them were glued together in the cubicles on the second floor.
Below, Luna did not feel the sweetness of Jane and Hugh at all.
It was often said that human joys and sorrows were not connected.
After realizing her situation, Luna could only endure the pain and personally cut off two of her fingers.
Without anesthetic effect, Luna passed out from the unbearable pain.
Diane’s heart ached as if transfixed with a dagger when she saw this. She wanted to rush forward and get someone to stop Luna’s bleeding, but Raymond grabbed her tightly.
Raymond looked at Victor and said, “Father, now that Luna’s been punished according to the family rules, are you
satisfied?”
“Raymond, don’t underestimate me. I once led the Croft family to gain a foothold in Stormton City. Just this little thing… isn’t gonna make me angry.
“The Croft family’s come a long way, and now we have so many offspring. It makes sense that there are some black sheep.
“Since there are some rotten apples, we’ll just get rid of them. We can’t just let the family fall because of a few rotten apples, right?”
Victor saw through it very clearly.
His voice was emotionless, and no one could tell what he was thinking.
Raymond immediately lowered his head and said, “Yes, Father, I crossed the line.”
‘Grandfather, since Luna… She has already received such a heavy punishment, it’s better to let her go for treatment first.
Marlon mustered up the courage to speak.
The skin on Luna’s body was paling
Luna would die if she lost more blood like this!
In the living hall, only the third branch who were aloof from worldly affairs dared to take the initiative to ask.
After Marlon spoke up, Ford echoed, “That’s right, Grandpa. Please let Luna go down and receive treatment from a doctor.”
“Victor, I beg you. Luna knows her mistake and has paid the price she deserves. Please let her go for treatment!” Diane could no longer hold it in. She knelt on the ground and cried as she begged.
Layne bit her lip lightly. Raymond’s expression contained herself to take the initiative to speak. She could only plead with her eyes.
“She can’t take these three fingers away. Call the doctor over to treat Luna.
“Also… after she’s cured, send her out of the country. She’s not allowed to return without my orders.”
Diane’s countenance changed. “What? Victor, are you going to send Luna overseas? Are you going to make her never return to Crucsia?”
“What? Do you still want to disobey my orders?”
Victor shot a cold glance at Diane.
Just this glance sent a chill running through Diane’s heart. She did not dare to say something more..
“I… I… I don’t dare…”
Raymond rained down curses on Diane’s head in his heart.
