Reclaiming the CEO's Heart novel Chapter 41

Chapter 41 Life Is Unpredictable

Avery placed the bouquet down and explained, "I'm her friend. I just wanted to visit her and then leave."

"There's no need for that. Strangers will only worsen her condition. Miss Adams, please leave."

Jane stuffed the pillow into Avery's arms, her voice filled with despair. "Take my child and leave quickly. Please raise her! I'll help stall these people off. Run!"

With that, she fiercely threw the bouquet that Avery brought toward the attending physician. "I'll kill you, you bitch! It's you who wants to take away my child. Go to hell!"

Security guards wearing explosive helmets and shields rushed into the ward. One of them used an electric baton to strike Jane down, while the others quickly threw her into the bed and tied her up.

Jane continued to scream, "Give back my child!"

As sedatives were injected into her, she gradually lost her resistance and soon fell asleep.

Avery, who witnessed everything, found it horrifying. Rather than calling this place an asylum, it was more like a prison. They weren't doctors but rather guards.

Jane, who was now unconscious, seemed harmless, and Avery was ushered out of the ward and didn't manage to ask any of the questions she had in her mind.

When Avery left, she turned back and saw the doctor called Dr. Wood scolding the nurses in a rage, as if she was questioning why they let Avery in.

During Avery's stay there, Dr. Wood glanced at her, and their eyes met in the air. Soon, Dr. Wood looked away and stopped scolding.

Avery felt that something was off, especially since Dr. Wood seemed to know her even though Avery had never met her before.

"I do. That girl is quite pitiful. She was suddenly diagnosed with a mental illness two years ago. It's probably because her family put too much pressure on her studies. Nowadays, the children have a tough life, and if their mental resilience is low, they'll easily collapse."

"Brian, may I ask if Jane had a boyfriend?"

Brian immediately shook his head, "No, impossible. She prioritizes her studies and keeps her distance from the opposite sex. If we have to mention someone she was close to, it would only be Mr. Adams. Mr. Adams is a kind elder who often helps Olivia, Jane, and the deceased Zoey unconditionally. It's a pity that they're not fortune enough to live up to Mr. Adams' nurturing."

"From what I know, her family is quite poor. How would they suddenly immigrate abroad?"

"Her mother got remarried to a wealthy man. Jane had originally planned to apply to foreign universities, but unfortunately, this incident occurred suddenly. Mr. Adams would be devastated if he found out. He was so nice to Jane and had high hopes for her. Alas! Life is unpredictable."
