Ch. 1241..1250
Chapter 1241 You don't think I want to jump, do you?
Nathan went back to work and fell back into a flurry of activity. Stella looked at him like this and kind of gave up completely.
After all, some destinies really can not be forced.
Nathan was sorting through a backlog of paperwork when a wedding invitation fell to the floor.
The assistant knew that Clarence would not go to such events, so they would not be sent to him at all.
It was supposed to be disposed of, but somehow it got mixed in with the documents for Nathan.
Nathan read the invitation, the company has been cooperating with Conrad Group for a long time, so I should go there.
So then Nathan put the invitation aside and marked the date in red, just the day after tomorrow.
On the day of the wedding, Nathan attended as a representative of the Conrad Group.
The president of the partner company was very happy to see him and came to shake hands with him enthusiastically: "Mr. Lance, I didn't expect you to come, I'm really honored!" Nathan smiled, "Mr. Bates is very kind, it's my pleasure."
Mr. Bates immediately had his son, today's groom, Kane Bates, called in and introduced him, "This is the Conrad Group, Mr. Conrad's special assistant, Mr. Lance."
Even though Nathan is now the executive vice president of the Conrad Group, but other people are probably long used to his Clarence assistant status, are still called that, Nathan also did not bother to correct, even he is also used to this name. Nathan and Kane shook hands and said hello, and the latter went to receive other guests.
And Mr. Bates originally wanted to put Nathan in the chair, but was refused by Nathan, he found a random position with fewer people to do the next.
After a while, the wedding officially began.
With the sound of music, the bride slowly entered with her bouquet.
Nathan looked back and was slightly stunned.
Isn't this the woman doctor who called him?
Nathan pulled out the invitation in his arms and opened it. The person in the photo was, indeed, her.
He only took this as part of his job and didn't even bother to see what the bride and groom looked like.
Nathan looked over anew, but I don't know if it was his illusion, but I always felt that the bride was blushing, like she was vaguely restraining something.
Even when the master of ceremonies said the vows with emotion and let the groom go over and walk over to pick up the bride, she just stood there, looking at the groom coldly, without the slightest expression on her face.
Just as the wedding got to the point where the rings were to be exchanged, a woman suddenly rushed in: "You can't get married! I don't agree!"
Kane heard the sound and looked over, his face instantly turned ugly.
The surrounding guests also cast a curious and gossipy gaze.
Kane's father was the first to react, shouting, "Security, get the irrelevant people out of here!"
The woman pulled out a list, "Kane, I'm pregnant with your child and you're just going to let them do this to me!"
A crowd of guests: "Ho!"
Nathan has seen so dramatic things, but it is the first time in the wedding, see this kind of drama.
Compared to the group of people waiting for a good show, Nathan couldn't help but look at the bride, who was standing alone, but her expression was calm and indifferent, obviously not surprised by what was happening now. If Nathan was correct, just before the wedding began, the woman had gone to her.
Kane walked up to the woman and lowered his voice, "What are you doing here? Do you know who are the people who came to the wedding today?"
I don't care, all I know is that you clearly promised to marry me and now you're marrying someone else, what do you want me to do, what do you want our children to do?
Kane took her arm and tried to move her outward, "Let's talk outside."
The woman struggled hard: "I don't want to go out, just say it clearly here, do you want to marry that woman or do you want to marry me?"
As they spoke, Kane's father also walked over quickly. He was obviously aware of the woman's presence as well, and sternly reprimanded Kane to hurry up and take care of things here.
Kane didn't know what to say to the woman, and she finally stabilized a bit and was led away from the place.
When everyone in the ballroom watched the drama come to an end and the Bates Family was ready for the wedding to continue, they turned around and realized that the bride was gone. On the stage, only the long veil was left behind.
Nathan saw her throw down her veil and leave, and she left this place of right and wrong with almost no hesitation.
The wedding couldn't go on without the bride.
Mr. Bates could only stiffen his head so that the guests could start eating, and by default the wedding was successfully concluded.
Nathan, however, also felt no longer interesting, this wedding he showed a face, on behalf of the Conrad Group's gift has arrived on the line.
When Nathan left, the entire the Bates Family was busy looking for a bride, and no one noticed him.
As he drove back to the office, he was waiting for a traffic light when he suddenly caught a glimpse of a white figure across the street, walking aimlessly. There are many people around with cell phones to shoot.
Instead, she numbly continued on.
At this point, the green light comes on.
Nathan withdrew his eyes and drove on.
After he drove some distance, the corners of his lips pursed, and suddenly turned left and turned around.
Yet she was no longer on the side of the road.
Nathan searched the neighborhood before seeing a white figure by the river.
He ran over in stride: "You...... you calm down a little, the water is quite cold down here."
Jane Yi turned her head to look at him, a hint of confusion flashed across her face, "It's you?"
Nathan approached her tentatively, "You remember me?"
Aren't you Grace's brother.
How did you get here.
I ...... Nathan had walked up to her and yanked her down while she wasn't looking.
Jane Yi was not prepared, a stumble almost fell, quickly held his arm, only to be able to stand firm.
Nathan let out an inaudible breath.
Jane Yi looked back, realized something, and said with amusement, "You don't think I want to jump, do you?"
Nathan also froze: "No?"
Jane Yi retraced her steps to the railing and pointed to the bridge pier below, "There's a puppy there, I don't know who threw it down, I'm trying to figure out how I can get it up." Nathan: "......"
He followed her line of sight, and sure enough.
Jane Yi said, "Just in time for you to come, you pull me a little, I'll go down and carry it up, you pick it up on top."
Nathan said, "How are you going to get down there dressed like that?"
Jane Yi looked down at herself, indeed not very convenient, she reached out to tug the zipper at the back of the wedding dress.
Seeing this, Nathan immediately turned around.
Jane Yi laughed: "You don't think I'm wearing nothing inside, I'm wearing a bra and bottoms."
She continued, "I'm a doctor, I don't care that much about that when I have to, as long as I can save a life, it doesn't matter how." Nathan was silent: "It's not that necessary right now."
Jane Yi didn't hear: "Huh?"
Nathan took off his suit jacket and hitched it to her: "I'll just go.
Chapter 1242 Maybe this is fate
Jane Yi tugged Nathan's clothes with both hands, and before she could react, he had already jumped off the railing.
She rushed to the railing and shouted, "Eh, you be careful."
Nathan this moment has stood firmly on the piers, but the puppy is probably back human injury, so full of vigilance, shrink themselves into a small ball to stay in the corner, all shivering. But even so, you can see that it does not have the slightest bit of aggressiveness.
Jane Yi lying on the railing, just want to remind Nathan not to be bitten when he has gently pick up the puppy, tilted his head to look at her: "It's okay."
Jane Yi exhaled slowly.
After Nathan handed her the puppy from below, Jane Yi was trying to reach out to pull him, but Nathan had climbed up by the side of the stone wall.
Jane Yi looked at his original white shirt now back got a mass of stains, but also quite embarrassed, the suit jacket back to him.
Nathan, however, said, "You wear it, my clothes are dirty anyway."
With that, he picked up the puppy: "Let's send it to the nearby vet first."
Jane Yi said, "There is one right down the street, I saw it when I came ......."
That's how they got to the vet hospital, but the two looked extremely mismatched in their attire.
Jane Yi can even see from the frequent glances of the staff at the vet hospital to her eyes, "these two people are probably robbing the wedding out of it", in her mind, may have been brainstorming a big drama. When the dog did the examination, Jane Yi went next to the women's clothing store casually bought a dress to change, coiled hair also casually tied a ponytail, tied behind the head.
When she returned, the tests had been done and everything was normal except for a little malnutrition, and she was not carrying any virus.
Jane Yi asked, "So can you help find an adoption for it here."
The staff said, "We can help find it, but we just can't guarantee that we can find it, and the time it takes is uncertain."
As she spoke, she looked at Nathan and Jane Yi: "Otherwise...... you two consider adopting it, if you don't have a pet at home, you can try it, and having a pet can also enhance the relationship between you." Short meaning: ".....
"1
Jane Yi still feels the need to explain: You misunderstood, we just met on the road and happened to save this puppy together."""
The staff hurriedly said, "Sorry sorry sorry, I thought......"
It's okay. Jane Yi stretched out her fingers hooked the puppy in her arms, looking at its pathetic appearance, but also some intolerant, she subconsciously said, "In fact, I kinda want to keep it, is ...... just busy with work, may not have much time to take care of it." The staff said, "Then there's no way out, let's find it for adoption first."
Nathan was silent and suddenly spoke, "I'll raise it."
At these words, several people looked at him.
Nathan said, "I'll make time to take care of it."
Jane Yi thought about it, "It's okay, Grace should like it a lot."
Nathan just smiled, did not explain, and took the puppy from the staff's arms.
After leaving the hospital, Jane Yi said, "I'm sorry for getting your clothes dirty, I'll pay you for a new one."
Nathan glanced down at his shirt, which had almost turned gray, and he said, "There's nothing to apologize for, maybe it's fate."
Nathan responded, explaining, "I said me and it."
Jane Yi smiled, "Then you do have quite a destiny."
Nathan said, "So you don't have to pay for my clothes either, let alone apologize."
Jane Yi nodded, "Then I'll go first."
Jane Yi gave another greeting to the puppy in Nathan's arms, and turned to leave.
Nathan looked at her back and wondered what he was thinking.
Halfway through the walk, Jane Yi suddenly turned back again and she asked Nathan, "Can you leave your contact information."
When we got back, Nathan put the puppy in the couch and went to the bathroom to take a bath.
He threw the changed shirt next to him and couldn't help but remember what Jane Yi said when she asked for his contact information, "I'll return your blazer to you after I wash it, and this puppy, it's also considered our joint rescue, its future living expenses count as my share". Thinking about it, Nathan felt some desire to laugh, but did not know exactly what was so funny.
When Nathan went out of the shower, he was hit with the smell of his own living room for the first time.
The pet hospital said the puppy was still too young to be bathed and only dewormed, but the smell from it was really a bit much.
After two days of just keeping it up, Nathan was debriefing when Clarence said, "I'm curious what you've been coming from for the last two days."
Clarence took the file: "If Stella knew, she'd say I was treating you badly again."
Nathan explained with difficulty: "Picked up a stray dog a few days ago, too small to bathe yet."
You brought it home?
Nathan nodded his head.
Clarence is probably a little unable to understand his behavior, obviously put in the vet hospital and wait for a bath and then pick up home can solve the matter.
He signed the papers and handed them to Nathan: "The Bates Group wedding, you went to that the other day?"
Nathan said, "Yes, the Bates Group has been working with us for many years, and I thought we should make a trip."
Clarence said, "I heard the wedding was wonderful, why didn't you tell me about it when you got back."
Nathan was silent again.
It is reasonable to say that in the past, no matter what, he will report with Clarence, work or news or leisure time talk, but he does not know, this time how to forget to say. Clarence also asked casually, but he really couldn't stand the smell of Nathan and gave him two choices: "Either give it a bath or you go on back to your vacation."
Chapter 1243 - Stay for dinner
Nathan was stuck in some traffic on his way back, and that's when he received a text message from Jane Yi asking if he had time today, she had bought something for Pupu and wanted to give it to him.
Pupu is the name Nathan gave to the puppy.
Nathan looked at the blocked streets and dialed her a phone number.
Jane Yi said, "I'm just coming out of the hospital now, where are you, I'll send you over."
Nathan said, "I got stuck in traffic."
He paused: "Or you can just take the stuff to my house and I'll send you the address and password."
Nathan just finished, then felt some wrong, but the words have been said, a moment also do not know whether to explain the next, they are so smoothly said, not the slightest other meaning.
On the other end of the phone, Jane Yi seemed to hesitate, but thinking that Grace should also be there, she agreed: "Okay, just send me the address."
At the word, Nathan was always relieved.
Putting down his phone, he looked up at the red light at the intersection in front of him and was slightly distracted.
I don't know how long it took before this section of the road was finally open.
When Nathan went back, he didn't see Jane Yi in the living room, and Pupu, who used to pounce out as soon as he opened the door, was nowhere to be seen.
Closing the door, Nathan heard a sound coming from the bathroom.
He walked over and saw that Jane Yi had already bathed Pupu and was blowing the fur on its body.
And Jane Yi did not notice that Nathan was back, rubbing Pupu's head while talking to it, "Our Pupu is so good, isn't it more comfortable after a bath."
Nathan laughed silently and didn't call her, leaning gently against the door frame to watch the scene.
Not two minutes later, Jane Yi turned off the hair dryer put back in place, the Pupu picked up, turned his head to see Nathan's moment, a stunned look, slightly embarrassed: "You're back." Nathan nodded, his eyes falling on Pupu in her arms.
Jane Yi explained, "I asked the doctor at the vet hospital and said it was okay to give Pupu a bath, so I saw that you hadn't come back yet, so I gave it a bath......' Halfway through, Jane Yi put Pupu on the floor: "Since you're back, I'll go first." Nathan suddenly spoke up, "Did you come straight from the hospital."
Jane Yi did not know why, but she also answered, "Yes."
"
Nathan said, I don't think you've eaten yet then. Last time you helped me take care of Grace, I haven't had a chance to thank you yet, so if you don't mind, stay for dinner."" ""Don't mind."""
Jane Yi almost blurted out, but after she finished, she felt that something didn't seem right.
She was going to say that you're welcome about Grace.
Jane Yi opened her mouth to add, but Nathan already said, "Okay, you sit down for a moment." Forget it.
Jane Yi sat on the living room carpet, training Pupu with the toys and snacks she bought.
Pupu has gone from being timid and scared at the beginning when they rescued him to being lively and clingy now, wagging his tail and chewing on a toy in his mouth, happy as can be.
In the kitchen, Nathan turned his head to look at them, the smile at the corner of his mouth unconsciously deepened a few points.
Soon, the meal was ready.
Nathan said, "Usually I don't have much time to eat at home, and I have fewer ingredients in the fridge, so it's easier to make."
Jane Yi looked at the two dishes and one soup in front of her: "It's quite good, we are busy at work, almost just a bucket of instant noodles to pass."
Is it convenient to ask, which department you are a doctor.
Jane Yi sipped her soup, looking frank: "Urology."
Nathan did not expect this answer and choked, but in order not to appear rude, so he held back from coughing and took a few sips from his glass of water one after the other.
But Jane Yi said, "It's okay, a lot of people look at me in a thousand different ways when they hear this answer."
Nathan put down his glass of water, "Sorry, it's just the first time I've seen a girl who is ......"
Normal, doctors do not choose their patients, when engaged in the beginning of the profession, there is no difference between men and women in our eyes, only patients who need to be saved, and patients who recovered and discharged from the hospital. Nathan nodded gently, "As long as the patient can be cured, it doesn't matter what department the doctor is from, it's all equal."
Jane Yi lifted her head to look at him, slightly surprised.
Probably for the first time, she heard someone who knew she was a urologist not only did not look at her with unkindness or criticism and accusation, but said that all doctors, regardless of their specialty, were equal.
The moment Nathan met her gaze, he suddenly wanted to ask her how things were going at the wedding.
But he reckoned that must be the last thing in her life she wanted to bring up and stopped.
Jane Yi saw his desire to speak, "Is there something you want to ask me?"
Chapter 1244 So what do you plan to do now?
Nathan immediately withdrew his gaze and shook his head, "Nope."
Instead, she had questions she wanted to ask him.
She said, "Doesn't Grace live with you."
Nathan was puzzled before he said, "Grace went to Riverside City for treatment."
Jane Yi responded, "Did your parents take her there."
Nathan felt that she should have misunderstood something, he explained, "Grace and I are not related by blood, she is...... this matter is actually a bit complicated to say, I happened to be on vacation some time ago and was responsible for taking care of her." Jane Yi also did not expect such an answer, she said dryly, "I thought......"
Last time when Grace was lost, Nathan gave her the first impression of an irresponsible brother, where she thought she was the one who misunderstood.
Nathan probably saw what she was thinking and smiled, "I do have a responsibility for not looking after her."
That's not the way to say it, you're not related by blood and it's good enough to come running to her immediately when you get a call from me.
After that, the topic was simple and casual, the two people were like friends, simply talking about the day, and did not go too deep into personal privacy, point to point.
After dinner, Nathan just came out of the kitchen, Jane Yi took her things: "It's late, I'll go first, thanks for dinner today."
Nathan said, "How do you get back."
Jane Yi looked at her phone, "I'll just take the subway."
After the words, she said hello to Pupu again, opened the door and left.
Nathan stood still and raised his hand to rub the back of his neck.
A few seconds later, he suddenly remembered something and turned around and went into the kitchen.
Outside the door, Jane Yi watched the elevator doors open and was about to enter when she saw Nathan walk out. Nathan said, "I'm going to take out the trash."
The two stood side by side in the elevator, and the atmosphere seemed awkward compared to the dinner time.
You usually......
Trash or I'll bring it down to you?
The two men spoke out almost simultaneously.
Jane Yi paused, "What did you say?"
Nathan said, "I said do you usually do your own subway."
Yes, the subway is more convenient and there is no traffic jam.
What about when you work the night shift?
Take a taxi.
Nathan added, "Isn't your husband going to pick you up."
Jane Yi smiled, "No go."
He thinks it's pretty embarrassing that I'm a urologist, and, it seems like he's busy all the time, and a while ago, I finally figured out what he's up to every day.
Nathan showed an uncomprehending look.
Jane Yi relaxed, "The day we saved Pupu, you remember, I wore my wedding dress, and actually it was supposed to be my wedding day, but a woman came up to me and told me that she was pregnant with his child." "And then what."
And then...... Jane Yi mouth smile, little by little closed, "then ran to the wedding and made a big fuss, the wedding just ended, I ran out and saw Pupu at the bridge. also that moment II suddenly felt that there are too many unfair things in this world, sometimes many lives are exhausted in order to live, and I am still sad because of a scum, it is too ridiculous."
What's more, he doesn't approve of my career at all, and sometimes I feel quite tired communicating with him, which is probably God's way of reminding me that it's better for me to see his true colors before I get married than to be foolishly kept in the dark afterwards. At this time, they have been out of the elevator, Jane Yi these days live too stifled, so embarrassing things can not find someone to say, just recently met Nathan, became the best object of confession.
There are some things that I can't say to my friends and family around me, but strangely enough, I can easily say them to someone who doesn't have much interaction with my life.
Nathan listened quietly, and only after a long time did he ask, "So what are you planning to do now?"
Chapter 1245: You're not right lately
Jane Yi said, "That's it, there's no point in getting married, I've already returned the things he gave me."
Nathan didn't say anything, just nodded silently.
As they spoke, they had walked to the entrance of the subway station.
Jane Yi pointed inside: "I'll go in first."
After seeing Jane Yi leave, Nathan withdrew his eyes and realized that he had been carrying a bag of garbage in his hand.
He coughed, shoved his trash into a nearby trash can, and turned to go home.
At home, Pupu is lying on the sofa, chewing on the toy Jane Yi bought for him.
In the corner, Jane Yi bought him a doghouse and some daily necessities.
Nathan had nothing to do, so he cleaned the house inside and out, and also put all the clothes in the washing machine for a new wash.
After this was done, the house was completely free of the unpleasant smell.
Nathan sat down on the couch and Pupu jumped up and dutifully plopped down next to him.
Since it has just taken a bath, there is still a fresh scent of shower gel on its body.
Nathan didn't expect that Jane Yi bought such a complete range of things that she even thought of this.
And Pupu has learned a few simple commands under Jane Yi's training.
The way it wagged its tail at Nathan, it completely lost the pathetic look it had when it was thrown on the bridge pier.
The next day, Clarence glanced up as Nathan came to work.
Nathan was a little vain, looked down and smelled his clothes, did they still smell, it shouldn't.
Clarence, however, simply said, "Moves pretty fast."
Nathan breathed a sigh of relief.
Clarence handed him the signed paperwork, along with an invitation to the appreciation party: "The Bates Group sent it this morning."
Nathan took it with suspicion.
Clarence said, "You were there for the last wedding, and you're going to be there for this appreciation dinner."
But...... Nathan frowned slightly, the invitation clearly stated that it was a wedding appreciation party, Jane Yi are not going, this appreciation party can still be done. "But what."
Nathan said, "It's nothing, I'll be there on time."
Clarence looked at him without saying a word.
Nathan: "?"
Clarence closed the file in front of him, "Do you remember how many years you've been with me."
Nathan answered truthfully, although he did not understand why Clarence would ask this question, "Fifteen years."
Clarence smiled, "No one should know you better than I do."
Nathan froze slightly, not quite understanding what he meant.
You've been, lately, not quite right.
In the past, Nathan was top-notch in terms of his ability to work and execute. Recently, whenever he encountered Bates Group, he was a bit distracted and didn't know what he was thinking. Clarence is not in a hurry: "The strangest place is that you picked up a stray dog to bring home."
Nathan has always had no feeling for pets, encountering stray dogs such things, at most sent to the veterinary hospital is, he worked so saturated, let him find a girlfriend are not intended, but have the leisure to raise dogs. Nathan didn't know how to answer for a moment.
Clarence's voice rang out again: "Is it that Stella introduced you to a girlfriend some time ago and made you feel pressured to have a dog to keep you company if you really haven't been thinking that way." "Mr. Conrad, actually......"
At this point, Clarence's cell phone rang, and Nathan stopped talking and silently exited.
Sitting in his office, he took out the invitation and stared at it for a while, suddenly understanding what was going on.
A few days ago, there was such a big scandal at the wedding, and now almost the whole City N has been spread, the Bates Group feel that they can not face, so they deliberately held this thank you banquet to save face. So even if Jane Yi doesn't want to go, they will use every means to make her say yes.
Chapter 1246: How did you get here
Nathan guessed correctly that Kane was already blocking Jane Yi's door when the invitation was sent out from Bates Group's side.
He said, "I swear, it was really me who was drunk, I didn't like her, she was the one who had to pester me. Just that one time, believe me Jane, you're the only one I love." Jane Yi now looks at him with nothing but indifference: "Can you get the answers right before you come to me, once you're pregnant?"
Kane probably gave up the struggle, he sounded a little more complaining: "If you weren't so busy with work, I wouldn't have gone to her, I'm a grown man, I need ......" Jane Yi felt more and more amused: "So, it's still my fault."
Kane clasped her shoulders with both hands: "Jane, since we are both at fault, let's just put this matter behind us, okay? So many guests came to the wedding last time, it was too ugly, let's go to the appreciation banquet today and show them that all those things before were misunderstandings."
I have made my words very clear to you, withdraw from the marriage.
Jane Yi! Kane saw that she was not even hard or soft, he was also a lot more resentful, "You know what your condition is, you should feel happy that I am willing to marry you, this is your only chance to marry into the rich family, I have a woman outside, what is wrong, she will not threaten your position, you are my legitimate marriage into the family, I treat you well. Don't be insensitive."
Jane Yi inwardly without waves: "Whoever wants to marry whoever you want to marry, whoever you want to marry, it has nothing to do with me. Get out of my way and don't block my way to work."
Kane looked at her and gritted his teeth in hatred, "Do you really want me to go and invite your dad over before you'll go."
Jane Yi's face went cold: "How dare you."
Kane snickered, "What am I afraid of? If you don't go to this appreciation party, we'll lose face in the Bates Family, what do I care?"
You promised me in the beginning that you wouldn't bother him.
At the beginning was the beginning, moreover, I was still looking at you for the sake of you being my wife, now you are going to withdraw from me, which one do you think is more important to me? Think it over, do you want me to invite your father from the mental hospital or do you want to go to the appreciation banquet with me.
Jane Yi looked at him expressionlessly.
Her father was originally a manager of a company under the Bates Group, and then had an accident because of an accident, although the person was saved, but mentally traumatized, some delirium.
Kane visited him on behalf of the company and that's how he met Jane Yi.
Later, as Jane Yi's father became more and more mentally abnormal and even appeared to hurt people, Jane Yi had no choice but to send him to a psychiatric hospital at Kane's suggestion.
What she didn't expect was that Kane would one day threaten her with this.
Seeing that she didn't say anything, Kane knew that she had compromised, and with a satisfied smile on his face, he took Jane Yi to put on her makeup and change her clothes.
Jane Yi, however, shook off his hand and walked straight ahead, "Is it true that if I cooperate with you in this play and get back the face of your the Bates Family, you can agree to break off the engagement and not bother my father." Kane had taken hold of her and cozily said, "We'll talk about it in time, let's see how you do today first."
Jane Yi glanced at him, how did not feel before, his face more and more disgusting to see people.
On the way, Jane Yi took a leave of absence from the hospital.
All day long, she sat there like an emotionless puppet on a string, letting the makeup room do her makeup and pick out her clothes.
This is just a little less than a week after she wore her wedding dress with joy.
Now sitting here again, it is a completely different state of mind.
How ironic.
When they arrived at the thank-you party, Kane's father came over, also crowned with pretty words, and said that the matter was Kane's fault, and in order to compensate her, they would give her half of the assets in Kane's name. Not only that, he also said that there was no need to worry about that woman and that she would never appear in front of her again.
Half a sentence without mentioning the child.
Jane Yi knew that they were already planning to keep that child.
By the time it was dark, guests were gradually arriving.
Kane also wrapped his arm around her waist and leaned down to whisper in her ear, "Don't be so stiff, make it look like I forced you, smile." Jane Yi pursed her lips slightly, unable to smile.
Kane added, "Think of your father, think of you showing up here today instead of him showing up, and you should be able to laugh about it." Jane Yi gritted her teeth, "Son of a bitch."
Kane laughed: "Baby, you're so charming even when you're cursing, how can I part with you?"
Jane Yi spent the rest of the day with a mechanical smile on her face.
But the more Kane showed love in front of the guests who came, the more disgusted she became, and finally could not help it, found an excuse to go to the bathroom, intended to go out to get some air.
Before she left, Kane whispered a threat next to her, "If you don't come back, your position, it's your dad who will take your place."
Jane Yi now wants to vomit even talking to him, turns around and strides away.
She went to the bathroom, turned on the faucet and rubbed the hand Kane had held until it broke the skin, then she leaned against a wall and let out a long breath.
Jane Yi is now incredibly happy that the marriage did not happen.
She and Kane have been together for two years, and he has always come across to her as a gentle and considerate boyfriend who is every bit as nice as he could be, except for being a little unhappy with her job and telling her to quit and go home to be a full-time wife. So good that before the wedding began, she was longing for their married life.
Jane Yi spent ten minutes in the bathroom and returned to the ballroom when she saw a familiar figure in the hallway.
She was slightly stunned, "Why are you here."
Instead of answering, Nathan asked, "What about you."
Jane Yi didn't know how to answer and lowered her head in shame.
After all the talk she had with him last night, she came to attend the appreciation dinner with Kane today.
She is really not ashamed to say what she is here for.
At that moment, Kane's voice came from a short distance away, "Jane, Jane Yi, are you here."
Jane Yi frowned slightly, feeling sick to her stomach once again.
She avoided Nathan's eyes and was just about to go over when her wrist was suddenly choked.
Nathan tugged her and ducked into a safe passage off to the side.
Kane came to the restroom and searched around, didn't see Jane Yi's person, and went to other places to look.
At the stairway entrance, Jane Yi looked at Nathan in shock: "You......"
Nathan said, "I thought you didn't want to see him."
Chapter 1247 Don't blame me for being rude
Jane Yi was even more surprised: "How do you know."
Nathan pursed his lips slightly and didn't say anything.
In just a few seconds, Jane Yi suddenly thought of the scene when she met Nathan that day.
Where in the world there are so many coincidences.
She asked softly, "Did you, that day, go to the wedding."
Jane Yi lost her smile, I knew that was the case.
So today, he is also here for the appreciation banquet.
Jane Yi didn't know what to say for a while.
In fact, she didn't want Nathan to see her in such a mess.
After a while, Kane's voice came again from the end of the corridor, containing a bit of threat: "Jane Yi, are you really leaving."
Jane Yi withdrew her thoughts and said to Nathan, "I have to go back, thank you."
After the words were said, Jane Yi opened the door to the safe passage and took a few steps forward, "I'm here."
Kane came over at a brisk pace, half reprimand, half impatience: "Where have you been, I've been looking for you most of the day." Jane Yi said, "I'm not feeling well, I'm in the bathroom."
Kane said skeptically, "Really, I was just here, why didn't you answer me."
Jane Yi laughed sarcastically, "Why should I answer you."
She lifted her dress and turned in the direction of the ballroom.
Kane followed her for two steps, but saw the door to the safe passage not far away, which seemed to be still faintly trembling.
He stopped in his tracks thoughtfully.
Jane Yi looked back and said with some annoyance, "Are you going to leave or not."
Kane immediately retraced his steps, "Go."
Back in the ballroom, the guests had almost arrived.
To show how good their relationship is, Kane held Jane Yi and went into the dance floor for the first dance.
The moment his hand was on her waist, Jane Yi inhaled deeply and tried her best to hold back the feeling of nausea.
As the first dance ended, more and more people also entered the dance floor.
Kane in order to show the intimacy between them, hand close to Jane Yi's back, attached to her ear: "Do you feel that this dance today, like the day of our first date, I also so wrapped around your waist, when you were still very active in my arms...... "Will you stop disgusting me."
Kane didn't care to laugh: "You're still as beautiful as you were that day, beautiful to my heart."
Jane Yi doesn't want to talk to him anymore.
Kane continued, "Tonight you will move in with me, we have already been married anyway, in a couple of days we will go and register the marriage, then you will be my wife in name only." "No way."
Why not, it would have been the right thing to do.
It's enough that I can accompany you through this play today.
Kane said, "You are too naive, even if I let you go, do you think my dad will let you go, you are now the face of our the Bates Family, if you leave, it will not sit true what happened at the wedding." Jane Yi clenched her teeth and tried to push him, but couldn't.
Kane said, "Shh, be quiet baby, they're all watching us."
Immediately after, he added, "Don't forget that your father is still waiting for you."
Jane Yi couldn't take it anymore and slapped him hard.
Kane obviously did not expect this one, and did not have the slightest defense, directly froze in place.
The dance floor, except for the sound of the music continues, all the rest, have watched the scene.
I knew tonight's appreciation dinner would not be so simple, and it was really exciting enough.
Kane was slapped by her in front of so many people and was furious on the spot: "You ......" Jane Yi doesn't matter anymore, if you want to fight, fight.
But with so many eyes staring, his raised hand was forced to drop.
Jane Yi said coldly, "If you threaten me with my father again, don't blame me for not being polite."
Jane Yi, wait for me!" Kane was furious and laughed: "Good, good!
I'll wait.
After the words, Jane Yi left without looking back.
Kane tried to catch her, but there were too many people on the dance floor, so he missed one and lost sight of Jane Yi.
He yelled to the men around him, "Find it, all of you!"
Jane Yi had just left the hotel when the sound of hurried footsteps came from behind her.
It's the man Kane sent after her.
At that moment, a car pulled up in front of her, the window lowered, and Nathan said, "Get in."
Jane Yi, almost without the slightest hesitation, pulled open the car door and bent down to sit on it.
When Kane's men chased him out, they could only see the car's taillights and couldn't even make out the license plate.
In the car, Jane Yi let out a breath, "Thank you."
Nathan asked her, "Where to now."
Jane Yi didn't know, for a moment, where she should go.
Everywhere she could go, Kane knew.
Nathan said, "If you don't have anywhere to go, you can go to my place first."
Jane Yi also had no other choice and nodded gently, "Good."
Chapter 1248 Did it threaten you
When they arrived at Nathan's house, Pupu immediately pounced out and spun around Jane Yi's feet.
Jane Yi squatted down and picked it up.
Nathan said, "Take a seat on the couch."
Not long after, Nathan came out of the bedroom and handed her a set of clothes: "These are new, you can change out of the gown you're wearing first." Jane Yi reached out and took it, "Thank you."
She put down the Pupu and got up to go into the bathroom.
Nathan has no feminine products here at all. Jane Yi found a hair rope from her bag and casually pulled her hair behind her head.
She couldn't remove her makeup either, so she just rubbed out the foam with body wash and barely washed it.
After changing out of her dress, Jane Yi felt that the suffocating feeling that had been wrapped around her all day was finally over.
She washed her face twice, probably clean, and then opened the door and went out of the bathroom.
Over in the kitchen, the smell of food was already coming.
Jane Yi walked over and Nathan said, "I see you've been drinking tonight, you shouldn't have eaten anything, I made some, you can eat after a break."
Jane Yi nodded gently and said thank you again, and there was a pause before she said, "I'll be leaving first thing in the morning."
Nathan turned his head to look at her, "Have you already found a place to go."
Jane Yi does not speak, in fact, where she can go.
She just didn't want to drag Nathan into it.
Today she slapped Kane in front of so many people, he will definitely not rest in peace, if he knows, who took her away, he will definitely take advantage of the issue. Nathan saw that she didn't say anything and pursed his lips, probably guessing a few things: "You're afraid Kane will get me in trouble?"
Jane Yi leaned against the countertop of the cabinet: "Whether it is looking for trouble, or something else, since you went to the wedding, at least are and Bates Group have cooperation, Kane that person is actually very small-minded, and poor temper, if he later in the business field to trip you up......
Don't worry about that, he won't know it was me who took you away. Nathan thought about it, "What's more, the Bates Group and I probably don't have direct interests to work with, he can't make this trip."
Lend Kane a hundred guts, he would not dare to find the Conrad Group unhappy.
Jane Yi heard him say that, opened his mouth seems to want to say something, but finally swallowed the words back.
They had only met a few times, so why should he help her.
Even if Kane doesn't know that Nathan took her away this time, if he helps get her dad out of the hospital, it will definitely not be hidden from Kane's side.
What Jane Yi didn't expect, however, was that after eating, Nathan took the initiative to ask her, "Did Kane threaten you?"
Jane Yi froze: "How do you......"
Because I think according to your character, if he hadn't threatened you, you would never have gone to that appreciation party.
Jane Yi didn't say anything, acquiescing.
After a while, she said softly: "My father, who used to be a manager under the Bates Group, was later injured in an accident and had mental problems, and at Kane's suggestion, I agreed to send him to a mental hospital, but I didn't expect that Kane would now threaten me with this, and if I didn't listen to him, he would pick up my father out. My dad's mental ...... can no longer accept being stimulated anymore."
Nathan said, "What hospital is he in?"
Jane Yi spoke up.
Nathan said, "Let me ask what's going on."
When Nathan went to the phone, Jane Yi was sitting in the couch, staring up at the ceiling, wondering what she was thinking.
Five minutes later, Nathan came over, "Kane sent someone to the hospital and should be waiting for you to come over."
Jane Yi couldn't help but frown, Kane was moving too fast.
She was about to say something else when Nathan continued, "But you don't have to worry, I've already had your dad brought out." Jane Yi: "?"
What kind of speed is this?
Chapter 1249 - It's better this way
On the other hand, Kane's people were guarding the entrance of the hospital, just waiting for Jane Yi to appear, without thinking at all that Jane Yi's father had already been taken away. By the time he found out, he had smashed everything he could in the house and roared, "Who! Who the hell is it!"
He had already checked all the hotel's surveillance, but could not find out who had taken Jane Yi away.
Kane's father, Tom Bates, walked in, his face even harder to see: "Instead of throwing a tantrum here now, you should think about what you're going to do if David Yi is playing dumb."
At that, Kane frowned fiercely: "Impossible, I've had the doctor check many times, and he hasn't acted abnormally in the hospital for the past two years."
Tom said, "It better be."
But despite this, Tom's words were a wake-up call to Kane.
Whether David is pretending to be crazy or selling himself short, he cannot be allowed to fall into the hands of others.
Kane gradually calmed down and looked at the wedding photo of Jane Yi on the bed, his gaze was sorrowful. He knew Jane Yi very well, even if she ran far away, she would definitely go back to work at the hospital. So just go to the hospital tomorrow and you'll find her.
This night, Jane Yi slept on the couch and thought about the many things that had happened in the past two years.
She was actually quite curious some times, whether Kane had suddenly become like this, or whether he had always been like this and only she hadn't noticed it.
If the latter is the case, is there something else he is hiding from her?
Jane Yi can't calm down as long as she thinks about that side.
When Kane took her father away, he said he was looking for the best psychiatric hospital in City N. There were doctors in it who were his friends, so he could take better care of her father.
Now she began to fear "more care".
When Jane Yi sometimes visits her father, his expression is always the same, dull and demented.
If he really encountered something unthinkable inside, he couldn't ask her for help.
Jane Yi feels that she has been too gullible to trust Kane for the past two years.
The only redeeming factor now is that her dad has been brought out.
Nathan said that only now her father was transferred to the hospital, he was also shocked and stimulated during the process, the doctor's side of the meaning is to let him first adapt to two days, when the emotional stability, and then let Jane Yi to see him. So she can only wait.
Jane Yi didn't sleep much this night, and she got up early the next morning.
Nathan was able to take her in and help her get her dad out, and she didn't know what she should do to show her appreciation.
When Nathan got up, Jane Yi had already made breakfast.
He froze slightly, "Are you up so early."
Jane Yi said, "Usually go to the hospital is used to, you hurry up and eat, do not delay your work later."
Nathan was silent: "Do you still have to go to the hospital today."
Jane Yi sniffed, and the movement in her hands stopped.
Apparently, Kane didn't find her yesterday and her dad was taken away, so he will definitely go to the hospital today to look for her. Just.......
It's embarrassing to stay with Nathan for one night, and she can't stay here.
Nathan saw her hesitation and spoke, "I'm not home during the day anyway, so you can stay here."
This is too intrusive.
No bother. Nathan thought for a moment and continued, "I usually get off work late, so it's a good time for you to...... stay with Pupu and train him to go outside to use the bathroom. I've never had a pet before, and I'm not very good at training these, but I see you trained quite well last time."
Jane Yi lost her smile: "I just watch and learn online ......"
Nathan looked at the time: "That's it then, I'll go first, you just stay here in peace."
Eh...
Jane Yi wanted to say something else, but Nathan had already left at a brisk pace.
A few moments later, Jane Yi sat down in the sofa and Pupu jumped up and plopped down next to her.
Jane Yi stroked its head, "It's okay, we have a mission today."
Chapter 1250 - How long have you only known each other
Last night's appreciation party, where Kane was slapped in the face, spread throughout City N again.
The Bates Group's wedding has become a complete joke.
The stock price has also dropped a lot as a result.
As soon as Nathan arrived at work, he heard gossip from the assistant's office.
When they saw Nathan coming, they couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Lance, you were also present at the appreciation dinner last night, what was the scene, tell us about it." "Yes, yes, the son of the Bates Group was slapped by his wife in public, wasn't it still because of the mistress?"
Nathan said, "As far as I know, they haven't gotten a marriage license, so they shouldn't be considered wives."
They were about to say something else when Nathan continued, "It's business hours, if Mr. Conrad sees you gossiping here, do you all want to stay and work overtime." A person: "Mr. Conrad came this morning also asked about this matter, let you come to his office to report on this matter."
He organized the documents and knocked on the door of the president's office.
Nathan walked in. Placing the file in front of Clarence, "Mr. Conrad."
Clarence gently raised his eyes to look at him.
Nathan coughed: "The Bates Group thing is indeed pretty much what the rumors say it is
I didn't ask you about it.
Nathan was silent for a moment: "I had Maxwell help me bring someone out of the hospital last night."
Clarence was clearly not surprised by this answer, and he leaned back in his office chair, waiting for Nathan's next words, the expression as if to ask, "Who is that guy?" Nathan, who hasn't had that sense of urgency in years, said, "It's...... the father of a friend of mine."
Clarence said, "This friend of yours is a woman?"
Nathan smiled and was slightly surprised.
Clarence continued unhurriedly: "Not only do I know that this friend of yours is female, but I also know that she is Kane's wife."
Nathan's reflex: "Not yet licensed."
Clarence looked at him without changing his face.
Nathan hung his head sheepishly.
Clarence said: "Last night Kane is like crazy, almost turned over City N, just can not find people, if I guess correctly, people in your place, right."
Nathan was now not going to weasel out of it and nodded his head in acknowledgement.
What do you think.
She doesn't have anywhere to go right now, so I ......
I'm not asking about her, I'm asking about you. Clarence said, "She's still nominally Kane's wife, and once Kane finds out that it was you who hid her, do you think he'll let it go so easily, and what kind of reputation you'll carry." Nathan hadn't really thought about this.
But Clarence is right, even if Kane can't check him out now, there will always be a day when he keeps Jane Yi around for as long as he can.
Clarence added: "I want you to think clearly whether you are trying to help her out of friendship or something else. If it's a friend, then you've done enough now to stay out of everything in the future."
I ...... I don't know. Nathan frowned, "It just felt like, you can't watch her and not care."
You've only known each other for how long, you know each other well? So many people, I don't see you bothering with each and every one of them.
Clarence tossed the signed document to him, "Think it over and give me an answer before the end of the day."
Nathan inexplicably has a kind of, when reading, do the wrong problem, but do not know where the problem is wrong, the teacher let him play back to rewrite, do not finish writing can not go home the sense of vestigial. Back in his office, Nathan was lost in thought.
Mr. Conrad is right, he does not need to get involved in this mess, although he is not afraid of the Bates Group, nor Kane, but Jane Yi and her father's affair, has obviously pissed off Kane.
Sometimes once a person launches into madness, it is going to be regardless.
