After the operation, Jolene was still in a coma for two days. Her first words were, “How’s the kid? Was he hurt?”
It might be because she slept for too long, her voice was dry and dumb.
Jayden held her hand, said, “Nope, you had protected him, he is fine.”
Jolene was relieved. She looked at the ceiling, “Luckily he is not hurt, otherwise, I feel sorry for you.”
She did not mention Victoria. She was worried that she will spoil Jayden’s mood.
Jayden lowered his eyes. He knew what Jolene was trying to avoid discussing. He produced a forced smile, “I have never been so clumsy in my life…”
“It’s all my bad.”
Jolene knew that she caused the incident, “I am too selfish, always thinking about myself and always ignore you.”
“Nope, you are not wrong. It’s all destiny.”
He patted her hand, “Don’t think too much, you shall rest more.”
“I talked with my brother, he said he didn’t catch anyone…”
“Don’t mention the issue anymore, just leave it there. If you wish to leave, we can divorce after you recover…”
“I don’t want to divorce. I want to protect you and the baby.” Jolene held Jayden’s hand, “The baby must have a mother…”
Dolores cried when she heard their conversation.
Her body was like being injected with 100-degree-celsius water, rolling non-stop.
She did not know how to judge who was the one who made mistakes. Everyone had their own opinion and own difficulty.
“Then?”
Victoria said that calmly. It was as though she never participated in the story.
“Jolene’s leg was hurt, she cannot walk…”
“Isn’t the doctor saying that she can walk after adding the steel?”
“Yea, it was supposed to be like that. However, after the operation then only he realized Jolene’s nerve was hurt. It might be because her leg was clamped for too long time. She still cannot walk after adding the steel. Therefore, Jeffery doesn’t wish Jolene to be separated from Jayden. He imprisoned me and Nathan as everyone knows that we were a couple before. He would like to make an illusion that we elope and no one realizes it.”
“Then…”
It was many years later. Matthew was six years old now. Jolene accidentally heard Terrell’s and Jeffery’s conversation. Then only she knew that Victoria was imprisoned.
It might be because of this incident, Victoria’s body was hurt. At that time when she was caught by Jeffery, she had just given birth to Matthew. Due to being imprisoned in the cold, damp place, she could not pregnant anymore.
Jolene did not expect Jeffery to lie to her, and her dad knew this matter too. She straight away opened the door, asked in anger, “Why can you do that?!”
She was extremely angry!
“Jolene, why are you here?” Jeffery stood up and looked at his sister, “We did all these things for your good sake…”
Jolene screamed like crazy, “Why can you violate the law just by giving this reason? Who permits you to grab one’s freedom?!”
“You need to stay calm.” Jeffery pulled his face, “Aren’t all these years peaceful? You have been in a good relationship with Jayden. That’s good enough. What are you unsatisfied with? It’s all because of you that I risked my job.”
Jolene looked at Jeffery blankly and sobbed, “Please let her go.”
Jeffery frowned, “You need to pretend that you don’t know anything. Just go back and live a happy life with Jayden.”
“How can I pretend to know nothing?” Jolene’s eyes were blurred by her tears. She moved her body and jumped up from the wheelchair. Pang! She knelt.
