Had she ever loved him?
Of course, she had. Once she loved him deeply.
But right now, she couldn't tell him. Instead, she was so cruel and decisive "I've never loved you."
He had been trying to hold back his tears but now tears were streaming down.
The thunder boomed. The thunder was rolling and the lightning stretched across the sky.
Nathan went weak at his knee. He fell to the ground and tried his best to support himself. He just
wanted to see her but now he was just down in the dumps.
He went unconscious and can’t felt anything but feeling suffocated.
Victoria, who was not far away, came back, raised his head, patted his face vigorously, and pressed his
philtrum, "Nathan, wake up..."
Jayden did not go right away, but looked at Victoria, "Do you want to go see him?"
Victoria’s tears fell down drop by drop.
She shook her head, "Let’s leave."
Since she had made up her mind. She knew if she hesitated, they would only suffer more.
"Are you sure?" Jayden deliberately asked again, which was actually testing her determination.
" Yes. I'm sure". Victoria raised her head and glared at him. She wanted to appear to be tough in front
of him.
At this moment, Jayden realized that this weak-looking woman was actually very tough.
He closed the rear car door, got to the driver's seat, and drove away.
The voice of Victoria dialing 120 echoed in the air.
When they returned to the hospital, Jolene also came over. She sat in the passenger seat of a black
car, next to a lovely-looking man. Jayden couldn't really see through the windshield, but it is evident
that this man must be Jolene’s lover.
His eyes dimmed.
Jolene also saw him and said to the man next to him, "Stanley, you go back first."
Stanley nodded, "Take care, call me if you need my help."
Jolene nodded and opened the door and get off the car.
At this time, Jayden also came down. The two eyes met. After a few seconds, Jayden retracted his
eyes. He turned around and opened the rear car door. He kept silent when he carried Victoria down.
He was not in a good mood just like Victoria.
He stepped up the steps and stopped after taking a few steps, "You may go back, I will take care of her
today."
Jolene caught up with him and stopped suddenly. She looked up at his back and said after she kept
silent for a while, "Alright. As she is physically inconvenient, it is better for her to stay at a place instead
of going around. When everything is settled ... "
"Since you care so much about that, why don't you give birth by yourself?" Suddenly, Jayden
interrupted her who concerned about her.
He looked at her directly, "Is that the person you like now?"
Jolene pursed his lips, "Jayden, don't be like this..."
Jayden sneered and said, "What do you expect me to do? What do you want from me? My wife is
dating another man. Can't I ask about that? "
Jolene’s eyes turned red, “I said, before you fall in love with someone else, I will not date him, it was
just simply a gathering, I don’t know I will bump into you..."
"I don’t want to listen, go away."
After speaking, Jayden continued on his way.
He passed through the brightly lit corridor, which was filled with the smell of disinfectant. Soon, he
returned to the ward with Victoria being carried in his arms. The servant cleaned the room thoroughly
and now she was arranging the flower.
The doctor said that by putting some flowers and green plants in the room, the air will be fresher which
was also calming for pregnant women.
So, Jolene told him to buy some flowers and put them in the ward.
Seeing them come back, she stopped her work and lifted the blanket, "Did you guys go out just now?"
Jayden was in a bad mood and didn't say anything. So was Victoria and there were even tears on her
face.
They completely ignored the servant.
The servant was observant too, so she lifted the blanket and put it aside without saying anything
further.
"You may go out first, I'll ask for your help if I need it." Jayden covered Victoria with the blanket.
The servant nodded. Then, she went out and closed the door gently.
Jayden helped Victoria to lie down, "Will it be uncomfortable?"
Victoria shook her head.
Jayden lowered his head and looked serious as he tugged her in.
Victoria looked at him. She knew that he must be very upset, otherwise, he would not question Jolene
at the door.
She can't help but sympathize with him. It was the saddest thing to know the woman he liked falling in
love with another man.
"If you are sad, just look at me, I am even worse than you." Victoria's lips moved slightly. Her lips were
dry and her voice was hoarse.
Jayden looked at her, "You yourself are heartbroken. Why do you still want to comfort me?"
Victoria forced her smile, "Do you think it was fate that brought us together?”
"Huh?”
"We are both so miserable”.
Jayden was speechless.
After being hospitalized for a week, Victoria was discharged.
She was able to walk but cannot walk too often and she needed to rest more.
But the space at home was wide and there was a place to take a walk, which was much more
comfortable than in the hospital.
Due to physical discomfort, she moved downstairs. Jolene stayed downstairs as well.
Jayden lived upstairs by himself.
The relationship among the members of the family was subtle yet very harmonious.
There were many times that Victoria felt like she was a surrogate mother.
She was indeed a surrogate mother.
When she thought about that, she smiled bitterly.
“What are you smiling at?” Jolene asked when he saw Victoria smile as she folded the clothes.
Victoria was shocked for a moment. She did not expect that her expression was noticed by her.
Victoria said nonchalantly, "Nothing special. I just thought of a joke."
"What's the joke about?" Jolene asked casually. She was free and chit-chatted with her.
Victoria panicked as she was lying. She didn’t think of any joke. She had no idea what to say when
Jolene asked her. She was quick on the uptake. She recalled an interesting incident at school when
she was a child. "I remember when I was in year one, one day, the teacher asked us a question. She
asked us if anyone knew the total number of countries there were in the world. The whole class actually
raised their hands and the teacher picked a random student. The student answered, "There are two",
the class was in silence after he answered. The teacher asked, "Why are there only two? "The student
replied, "There are only two countries and they are China and foreign countries." As a result, the class
became silent for the next second and then all of us burst into laughter."
Jolene laughed, "Your classmate was really funny."
Victoria also laughed. She felt less depressed at the same time.
When Jayden returned, he saw the two girls laughing and joking happily in the living room. He felt like
he was the most redundant member in the house now.
When they saw him, they stopped laughing. Jolene took the folded clothes up, "I put them into the
cabinet," she said.
Victoria also stood up and said, "Let me help you."
The two persons stood up from the sofa and entered the room while Jayden stayed in the foyer and
was frowning at the two women who had gone because they had seen him walk in.
Why did they avoid him?
He would forget about Jolene.
But he didn’t know why Victoria did that as well.
He can't help feeling upset.
Jolene abruptly asked Victoria during supper in the evening, "Do you like boys or girls?"
