People were like this sometimes. When she was suffering in pain, the first thing she would think of was not how to escape from the suffering, but rather, she would be thinking if the woman she hated the most was suffering even more gruesome torture. If the woman did not, then she would be even more hateful and jealous. Lily did not hate Holden, the man who tortured her, that man. At that moment, the person she was jealous of and hated was Jane, who had gotten all of Alex's love.
"Alex, you truly should take Jane to do a paternity test. The child in her belly is not yours. She also has had many men..."
Before she could finish her sentence, she was intercepted by Alex. "No matter if the child Jane was carrying was mine or not and no matter what had she done before, I don't care at all."
Alex's words were meant for Lily to hear, but it was also meant for Jane to hear. He wanted to let Jane know that he only loved Jane in this life, and that would never change until his dying day.
Lily, on the other end of the line, was speechless. She was simply stunned. Before she could recover, Alex had already hung up the call and handed the phone to Jane.
Jane said calmly, "Thank you."
"Jane..." Just when Alex was about to say something, Ryan and Ruth, came in from outside, so Alex did not continue.
"Aunt Jane, you’ve changed drastically in the few months. Am I going to have a younger cousin soon?” Ryan called out happily. He was not the slightest bit unfamiliar with Jane at all. It was as if Jane had not been kicked out by Alex.
Jane smiled slightly and gently. "Ryan..."
"Jane..." Ruth was also extremely happy. "Should I call you Jane or Aunt Jane like Ryan? Jane, you've lost weight. Look at how pale your face is. Your belly has grown very much. You're going to have a little baby in about another four months, right?”
"Jane, you've been away for about five months after you left, and we all miss you very much. Aino missed you so much that she cried a few times. She even got angry at Mister Poole because of this. Jane, have you been well in the past few months?"
