The Mysterious Billionaire and His Substitute Bride (Ethan and Janet) novel Chapter 107

His every word felt like fireworks exploding in her ears.

Her heart stuttered in her chest. She began to sob uncontrollably. The pain was unbearable.

Her vice-like grip wrinkled Ethan's T-shirt that was soaked in her tears.

"It's okay. I'm here. It's over now, Janet." Ethan hurriedly took out a tissue and wiped her tears. He peppered kisses across her cheek and lips to comfort her.

Janet looked at him through her teary eyes, and her nose had turned red. She was so vulnerable at the moment that she shrank in his arms.

She wrapped her arms around Ethan's neck and cried, "What do I do now, Ethan? I have severed all ties with my adoptive parents, and Hannah is in fatal danger now. I feel like I have no one in this world. Nobody wants me."

Janet felt abandoned and helpless. Living in a world without any hope or anyone to hold on to was tragic.

Janet wasn't an optimistic person. She always pretended to be strong and happy to protect herself from the world.

"You still have me. I'll always be with you." Ethan pulled her closer into his arms. He meant every word he said.

Janet pressed her face closer against his neck and continued to sob silently. She clung to him for dear life.

She didn't know how and since when she started trusting Ethan. But at the moment, the man was her savior.

He continued to stroke her back comfortingly.

After crying out her emotions, Janet leaned against Ethan's chest, wrapping her arms around his waist. She felt sleepy.

As she closed her eyes, Ethan pulled the jacket tighter, covering Janet's neck, and kissed the top of her head. "Forget everything and sleep."

When Janet woke up again, it was already midnight. She was lying on the bed in her room. It looked like Ethan had carried her into the house.

She wondered which corrupt doctor in the hospital had secretly colluded with Fiona.

"Well..." The nurse sounded embarrassed. She cleared her throat and said, "Well, I just called to inform you that the surgery will be performed as planned."

Janet hung up the phone and breathed a sigh of relief. After a moment's thought, she turned to look at Ethan. "How did you make it?"

Ethan rubbed the back of his neck nonchalantly. "Well, I know a few people working in the hospital."

Janet examined his face. Ethan's eyes were droopy, and his hair was a mess. He was leaning against the sink, brushing his teeth.

Somehow, Janet sensed something was wrong. She didn't believe him.

After all, she believed Ethan was just a common man. How could he know more influential people than Fiona did?
