Ch. 2031..2040

Chapter 2031 Both of them were thinking of the other person.

The midwives exhausted all of their knowledge and experiences and after a day and night of struggling, Hana had finally given birth to the baby. It was a boy, and he weighed four kilograms. The chubby little baby boy, who weighed four kilograms, had come to the world, and he looked strong and good-natured. However, he almost took Hana's life.

After Hana had delivered the baby, she fainted, she sweated so profusely that she looked stick thin and her lips were so dry that they cracked, when the child and the mother were wheeled out together, just like Sebastian, Zayn also did not take a look at the child, but instead, he looked at his wife on the delivery bed with incomparable concern.

"Hana, Hana! How are you?" Zayn called out again and again.

Hana was woken up by his shouting, she barely opened her eyes and saw Zayn, who was still quite young.

"Zayn..." Hana wanted to use her head to cover her own face, but she did not even have the strength to raise her hand.

"Zayn...could you...not look at me? I...certainly looked very old...I know it. While giving birth, I had...exhausted all my strength. Zayn ...I...don't want you to see me looking very old," said Hana breathlessly.

Zayn instantly cried. He bent over and kissed Hana on her cheek. " We're already an old married couple, so what’s the use of saying all these? I am already more than thirty years old. I had stopped caring about beauty for a long time.

What I want is a companion! A companion who can stay with me for life! Never mind that my life is now forty, which is when a woman has the most charm. Even if my wife is in her eighties and has a head full of white hair, she is still my most beautiful and most attractive companion! My companion is the most beautiful woman in the world in my heart!" 2 "Really?" Hana was so touched that she cried.

"Of course, it's real!"

Zayn had lived for more than thirty years and his first child had just arrived. Zayn, who had originally thought that he would never marry again in this life and never have his own child, was extremely excited. He took great care of his son and his wife. Every day when he saw that his wife's face was so thin that it was all wrinkled because of the sudden loss of more than ten kilograms and childbirth, Zayn would feel heartbroken beyond measure. He would softly touch these wrinkles, feeling heartbroken. "It's all my fault. If you hadn't given birth to a child for me, you would not have become like this. I will use my life to love you and our son for life."

That was Zayn's resolve. However, that was not Zayn's family's resolve. Three days after Hana had given birth, Zayn's parents and his younger sister had returned from abroad. Originally, his mother was excited to visit her grandchild and her daughter-in- law. After all, their son got married and even had a child. How could they not be happy? When they heard that their daughter-in- law had given birth three days ago, Zayn's parents immediately rushed back from abroad.

They did not even return to their home. Although they were travel-worn, they came directly to the hospital after they got off the plane.

It so happened that Zayn was having a meeting with his staff at the Smith Group at that moment. Before he had left, he gave Ruth a call and asked Ruth to take care of Hana for a while. Ruth also happened to be delayed for half an hour as she had some matters to attend to. Just within that span of half an hour, Hana's room had no one else but her lying on the bed alone while the baby boy who had just been delivered three days ago was next to her. However, Hana was happy. Her husband had just given her a call saying that her mother-in-law would be arriving soon.

Just as the call was disconnected, Zayn's parents had arrived at the door to the ward. At the moment when they saw Hana, Zayn's mother instantly said, "oh...why are you so old? Are you my daughter-in-law?"

Chapter 2032 Hana was shocked. Immediately after that, she covered both her cheeks, which were as white as sheets, she was old.

she knew that. She had never lived a good life since childhood and her life always had been very tough. Although the conditions were so rough and she also had very painful childbirth at that time, she recovered very quickly.

However, ever since she married Hector, Hector had been idle all day while she had to work from dawn to dusk. Life was incomparably rough for her. In fact, the twenty best years of her life had been completely drained by Hector and Tessa. If Zayn had not treated her so well, Hana would have been even older than she was at that moment. In the past year, Zayn had supported her so well that she actually looked much younger. If she did not tell others about her actual age, they would have thought that she was only thirty-five years old. However, after a great deal of effort in taking care of herself for more than a year, Hana's energy had completely been exhausted after she gave birth to the baby, she had been on the delivery bed for a day and a night, other than the child's weight, and the weight of the amniotic fluid and whatnot, she herself even lost three kilograms. Could she not appear old? 1 When Hana heard such wailing from Zayn's mother, she wanted to take cover under the ground out of embarrassment.

She trembled and said with extreme inferiority, "Missus Smith...you...you're here."

"Don't talk to me!" Zayn's mother felt disgusted. 1 She was not a difficult person, and she also was not a fussy old woman. However, her son was only in his early thirties that year. Her son was in charge of the large Smith Group. Although the Smith Group was not as huge as the Ford Group and it could not even be compared to the Conor Group, her son still had a net worth of three billion dollars. With such net worth and appearance like her son's, he could have his pick of women. His legs were once broken and he had once been crippled for a few years, but were those not in the past already? He would have gotten anybody, why did he... 1 After Zayn's mother first saw Hana, who had just given birth recently, she truly could not accept it. she did not care about Hana feeling awkward, she also did not care that Hana had just been pulled back to the land of living by the doctors from Death's hands. She just covered her face and bawled her eyes out in front of Hana.

"My gosh. What sins have I committed that my son had to suffer so much? In the end, he even...married an old woman.

Oh..."

Zayn's father patted his wife on the back. "Enough. Just cut it out!"

Only then did Zayn's mother embarrassedly wipe her tears. "Well, I'm sorry..."

After saying that, she did not look at Hana anymore, she just tilted her head and looked at her grandson in the stroller.

The baby who had just been born three days ago was very chubby and he looked just like Zayn when he was a baby at a glance. The couple was then happy beyond measure. They only played with the baby and they completely ignored Hana. Hana could only smile awkwardly at the side and she did not know what to say.

The couple had played with the child for more than ten minutes before Zayn's mother looked at Hana and said earnestly, "Hana, look at you. After this year, you'll be almost halfway to fifty in age. My son is only in his thirties. He is handsome and he has a huge business. When the time comes, even if my son did not initiate to find other women, the women would be stuck to my son like headless chickens. Think about it, which can withstand the temptations out there? If my son abandoned you when you're fifty, what should you do then, Hana? 1 Hana looked at Zayn's mother with tears streaming down her face. "Missus Smith..." 2 She wanted to say, "Please don't drive me away, alright? I just want to stay by Zayn's side."

Chapter 2033 "I don't care how many years can be good to me. If he no longer wants me one day, I will leave in silence by myself. I can't bear to leave him now. I can't bear to leave him."

However, as soon as Hana was about to open her mouth, she suddenly thought of Sabrina. Hana was at Sabrina's house that day when she was about to give birth, when Nigel's mother had deliberately come to Sabrina's door to apologize to her, Hana was right in front of them. That was also when he had a profound understanding of how Sabrina was once unyielding and her difficulties in the past. Sabrina truly had been a hair's breadth away from death. Even so, Sabrina had never bowed her head and given in to anyone. At that time, Hana had an immense admiration for Sabrina. Had Sabrina not pulled through after being a hair's breadth away from death as well? Fine! Just pull through! The worst case was just death, so what about that? Integrity was more important than anything else.

Hana then smiled calmly. "Alright. I already understood what you said!"

Just when she was about to tell them that they may leave and she would not keep them there, Zayn's mother spoke again, "Hana, think about it. After you have thought it through, give me a call. I will give you whatever compensation you want."

Hana smiled calmly again. "Alright."

"Have a good rest then. You're a sensible woman. You're truly very good. I...I wish you all the best in finding a very good companion who could stay with you for the remaining years of your life. We'll., take our leave now," said Zayn's mother. After that, both of Zayn's parents left together.

After they got out of the door to Hana's ward, Zayn's father asked, "Is it appropriate for you to do that? will Zayn blame US? Look at that child, he looked SO similar to our Zayn. How great of a child is that. For the sake of the child..."

Zayn's mother sighed. "I didn't say that just for our son's sake. Say, Zayn is only in his early thirties, but that woman is in her forties. When Zayn is thirty-eight, she would be almost fifty. If Zayn were to dump her then, she truly would never be able to find a man for herself again, when the time comes, she will be a lonely and slightly old woman, what should she do then?" 1 Zayn's father immediately nodded. "What you said made sense as well. I was also wondering...why was this woman so old when I saw her? When she married Zayn, she was not old and she seemed quite pretty."

"That is why they say women with advanced age grow older very quickly! We can't have such a daughter-in-law! If she goes out with me, should I introduce her as my daughter-in-law or my younger sister?"

Zayn's father snorted a laugh. "I think she looked more like your older sister!"

"Nonsense!" Zayn's mother laughed.

The couple then left the maternity ward while chatting and joking.

After she saw her father-in-law and mother-in-law walking further away, Hana got out of bed while tears streamed down her face.

Although she was still weak, she dressed herself, wrapped the baby, carried the baby in her arms, and left without any hesitation.

She could not stay there any longer. That was because Zayn was there all the time and he also had been accompanying them at night. If she were to wait any longer, Zayn would come, then she and her son would not be able to leave anymore.

She did not want to be a burden to Zayn. she loved Zayn. He was a good man. she could not hold him back, let alone put him in a difficult position between his wife and his parents. Hana carried her son and left the maternity ward without any hesitation. She left in a hurry. The tears in her eyes stubbornly refuse to stream down her cheeks. Just like that, she walked outside hurriedly.

Just when she was about to walk out of the hospital's entrance, Hana suddenly bumped right into a person. That person immediately held Hana and asked, "Hana, what...happened to you? You had just delivered a baby three days ago, and you almost died when giving birth. Your body hasn't even recovered yet. where are you going while carrying your baby in your arms?

where is Zayn?"

The person asked Hana multiple questions in a go. Hana then raised her teary eye to see who the person was.

"Miss...Miss Mann?" Hana called out with a lump in her throat.

Ruth was stunned. She immediately asked, "Hana, what happened to you?"\\

Chapter 2034 Hana could not stop crying. "Miss Mann. Let me go. If Zayn were to come later on, then I wouldn't be able to leave anymore."

Ruth hugged Hana very strongly. "Hana! what exactly happened? Tell me! I can't help you much with other things, but I can still help to stand up for you!"

Ruth had always been a shrew. In addition, she saw with her own eyes that Hana had almost died when she was giving birth.

Therefore, Ruth felt very sorry for Hana.

Hana kept shaking her head. "Miss Mann, don't ask about it..."

"Is it because of Zayn's parents?" Ruth saw Zayn's parents when she was parking her car earlier on. she did not greet them as they were not familiar with each other. However, she could tell at a glance that they were Zayn's parents. Hana did not answer her. she just cried.

"Those sons of b*tches!" Ruth cursed the second she opened her mouth.

The middle-aged lady, who was with Ruth and was behind her, frowned and asked, "Ruth, who is this? what happened? what made you so angry?"

Ruth immediately smiled awkwardly. She had already forgotten that she had brought her future mother-in-law for a checkup that day. It was so rare that her future mother-in-law had come to South City. She had come to South city along with Ryan and Alex this time. She said she wanted to have some fun in South City, but in fact, it was because Ruth and Ryan were getting married soon, so as the mother-in-law, she was here to check out her daughter- in-law. 1 Ryan's mother's last name was Zaal, and her name was Patricia Zaal. The Zaal family was not considered a wealthy and powerful family in Kidon city, but Patricia and Alex's elder brother's romantic relationship developed naturally without external controls. Both of them had once studied abroad together and were considered highly educated, very cultured, and well- mannered. Patricia knew that Ryan had a very ordinary girlfriend. His girlfriend was not cultured and well-mannered, and she had never even had a serious job. It was only recently that she had been drafting design drawings at an architectural design firm, and that was because her good friend, Sabrina, had pulled some strings for her.

When Patricia was in Kidon City, she often asked Alex, "Alex, what do you think of your nephew's partner?" 1 Alex would then brush her off in a self-mocking manner. "Patricia, look at me. Do I look like a person who can judge his nephew's partner? My own love life is a mess. Look at me. I had almost lost Jane. What rights does such an uncle like me have to meddle in my nephew's love life? I can't meddle in that."

"You should roughly know whether your nephew's lover is good or not, right?"

"This I know! As long as she is one of Sabrina's friends, she can't be bad! Say, Patricia, at the very least, Ryan is a very picky person, and yet he still picked her. As long as she is someone selected by Ryan, she can't be bad! Do you know how hard working this girl is? She originally had no clue about architectural design at all. Now, she is able to work on her own! Say, Patricia, you should be happy! " Alex said.

What Alex said was the truth. He was rooting for Ruth. Although the young lady was slightly vulgar, loved to put her hands on her waist, loved to argue, and also loved to fight, she truly was a simple person. She had no bad intentions at all. The most important thing was that Alex had a selfish intent. That young lady, Ruth, was very close to Jane, she protected Jane as if she was protecting her own sister. With Ruth protecting Jane, who would have been her aunt, Alex would be at ease anywhere Jane went. For this reason alone, Alex wanted Ruth to be his nephew's wife very much. Therefore, he praised Ruth very hard in front of his sister-in -law, Patricia. 2 However, Alex had revealed one of her flaws. If had no clue about architecture, but was able to work on her own with her own efforts, and she had learned the ropes from Sabrina on the job, then did that mean that she never had a proper education?

Chapter 2035 Paticia kept feeling that something was not right, she took a chance and followed her son, Ryan, and also her brother-in-law, Alex, to South City. She cited that this hospital in South City provided the most comprehensive checkups, so she wanted to have her body checked here. Also, it was related to women's health, so she wanted her future daughter-in-law to take her for a checkup. At the same time, she also wanted to get in touch with her future daughter-in-law.

Ryan wanted to stop it. Alex also wanted to stop it. However, Ruth, who was easily infuriated, agreed to it very straightforwardly without any hesitation at all. She held her future mother-in-law's arms happily. "No problem, Missus Poole! I know that hospital all too well. Sabrina, Aunt Jane, and also Zayn's wife had all given birth to their babies there! I happened to be going to take care of Zayn's wife, Hana. Let's go then, Missus Poole, I'll take you there now!"

Just like that, Ruth brought her future mother-in-law to this hospital for a checkup without any dilly-dallying. Never in a million years would she have thought that her future mother-in- law's checkup was fake while inspecting her was really what was going on.

"Missus Poole, let me tell you something. This is my good friend, Sabrina's, brother's wife, Hana. Hana had lived a very difficult life. She is in her forties and she had almost died giving birth to her child. She must have encountered some difficulties today.

That couple that we had just met outside the entrance is Hana's parents- in-law. I'm guessing that they certainly did not like Hana as their daughter-in-law because she is older than him. Also, Hana's family is also not as prestigious as Zayn's family! I just hate people like them who despise the poor while favoring the rich!"

The more Ruth said, the angrier she got. she wrapped an arm around Hana. "Hana, you can't leave. You had just given birth three days ago. You can't just leave and get out like this! Missus Poole, help me stop Hana! I will call Zayn now."

Patricia was also speechless, she was simply dumbfounded. Even if she had not stopped Hana, Hana also could not leave because she was already unstable on her feet and Ruth had been pulling on one of her arms. There was no way Hana could leave at all. Therefore, Patricia simply lent a hand to support Hana.

Ruth smiled. "Missus Poole, you truly are a good person! It's no wonder why Ryan was born to be so good as well! You're a hundred times better than Zayn's parents. Watch how I stand up for Hana!"

Patricia was speechless. Her expression darkened, but she did not lash out. She could only watch Ruth create a fuss in public. 1 Ruth put her hand on her waist and glared at her phone's receiver. " Zayn Smith! You really are something else. You kept talking about how much you love Hana, but what happened in the end? What have you done?"

Zayn, who was on the other end of the call, had no clue about what was going on. "What's wrong, Ruth? I'll be right there."

"Hana ran out of the hospital in tears and she was even carrying her child. If I had not stopped her, she would have run away!

Her body is still so weak, where could she run to? Zayn, listen to me! Although I am not that close to Hana, she is a good person!

I just can't stand good women being bullied! If you dare to bully Hana, I will have the guts to beat you into a pulp! I will not care if you're Sabrina's brother or not! I will beat you to death!"

Even the passersby were frightened by the way Ruth put her hand around her waist, gritted her teeth, glared with her eyes widened, and her hair was standing on end that they ran further away from her, let alone Ryan's mother, Patricia, who had always been pampered. Patricia was so stunned that she could not speak.

It was after a long while that she said coldly, "Ruth Mann! You were so improper!"

Chapter 2036 Ruth suddenly shuddered in fear, and then she looked at Patricia. " Missus-Missus Poole..."

She had already forgotten, when she suddenly saw Hana being bullied, she got so anxious that she forgot to maintain her image as a sensible and knowledgeable lady, when she heard her future mother-in-law scolding her like that, Ruth was so shocked that her phone almost fell out of her hands. After she hung up the call, she was at a loss when she looked at future mother-in-law and was so frightened that she did not know what to say. How great it would have been if Ryan was there at that moment. However, Ryan was not there, what should she do?

Right at that moment, Zayn had arrived in his car. He hurriedly got down the car and came to Ruth and Hana, then asked with great concern, "Hana, what's the matter?"

Hana did not say anything, but her tears just kept pouring down her cheeks.

"Ruth, what exactly is the matter? what is Hana crying about?" Zayn asked Ruth again.

"Zayn...just take good care of Hana. І...Г11 first accompany Missus Poole to do a body checkup. I'll just not...accompany you anymore, " Ruth immediately said awkwardly.

Zayn saw that Ruth was awkward, helpless, and nervous. "Ruth, what's the matter? Do you need help with something?"

Even though Zayn was anxious about his wife, his good manners also could not let him ignore Ruth. Ruth then awkwardly shook her head and looked towards her future mother-in-law. Only then did Zayn see that this lady standing in front of him looked rather familiar. It took him a couple of seconds before he recalled that this was Ryan's mother. He then immediately smiled and nodded.

" Hello, Missus Poole."

Ryan's mother was still very much fond of such a cultured person, when she saw that Ruth was friends with such a man, she felt slightly relieved and her expression also eased up. She sighed and when she was about to scold Ruth, she realized that Hana, who was wrapped in Zayn's arm, suddenly fainted.

"Hana! Hana!" Zayn suddenly hugged Hana. Ruth, on the other hand, was also quick to react and she took the baby boy away from Hana's arms.

The few people reacted quickly and sent Hana back to her ward in the hospital. The little unpleasant episode between Ruth and her future mother-in-law just got brushed off like that.

Hana's body was still very weak, after all. On top of that, she was feeling too anxious, so fainted, when Hana was given IV drip while lying in the bed, Zayn asked Ruth in detail again.

Ruth had always been a truthful person. "I don't know the exact details either. Hana didn't tell me, but when I just entered the hospital, I saw your parents. They were just leaving the hospital. I was thinking, could it be related to them..."

"D*mn it!" Zayn smacked his head suddenly.

"What's the matter?" asked Ruth.

"I had already forgotten about it! I happened to have an important meeting today and I actually forgot about the time. My parents had just returned from abroad. I originally wanted to pick them up at the airport and first send them home, and then let them meet Hana after she had first cleaned up and dressed up a little. Hana looked extremely haggard these days. She had lost almost more than ten kilograms in a day, so she became so thin that she was out of shape. My dad is not so bad. My mom, on the other hand, has never wanted me to have a partner who is older than me. Although she did not say it explicitly, she is feeling a little uncomfortable in her heart. I think my mom must have said something that upset Hana." 1 Ruth pouted her lips, she originally wanted to put her hands on her waist and curse at Zayn, but because her future mother-in- law was there, Ruth did not dare to do so. she just pouted in lips with discontentment and said, "Men truly are trash! Hana had always been a beautiful woman! Her frame is very beautiful! She did not seem old at all being with you. I feel that her honest look with those bright eyes made her look younger than you. However, a layer of her skin was almost stripped off for the sake of giving birth to her child.

"It was more than just losing a layer of skin. She simply had just been a hair's breadth away from death. Tell me, she is so weak, can she not look old? she is now so weak. After she had a month to recuperate, when her mood became better, and she got slightly chubbier, she would return to her previous beautiful state! Your parents are really something else..."

Chapter 2037 Ruth had already spoken in the most polite way she could, she felt that the way she spoke should more or less be acceptable for her future mother-in-law. However, when Ruth unintentionally glanced at her, she found that her future mother-in-law was not looking at her at all. She was busy looking down at the phone and chatting with someone. Ruth's heart could not help but skip a beat. She was feeling uneasy as she did not know what her future mother -in-law would say about her. However, she could not care about that at that moment. The most important thing at that time was to first settle Hana's matter.

Hana woke up two hours later. The doctor said that there was nothing serious, but she had to pay more attention to resting and nutrition.

At that moment, Zayn's parents were called over again by Zayn. Zayn's mother was more honest. "What I said is sincere. When I first saw Hana like that, I truly found it very hard to accept.

However, I also bear no ill will. I was just thinking, what if my son abandoned Hana after a decade, the person who would be at a disadvantage when the time comes would still be Hana, isn't it?

"I will never marry another woman again in his life. Even if Hana had a head full of white hair, I would still want her! Mom, do you know? When I was at my lowest point, during the most difficult time in my life, and in those years when I thought I was disabled, I had even thought about taking my own life. However, I met Hana. She was the only one who knew me the best, she understood my loneliness and my despair! She is my confidante for life! She is my closest family and my lover! Mom, without Hana, I will never be happy!" Zayn said resolutely.

Tears streamed down Zayn's mother's face. "My son, I was just looking out for you. Don't worry, my son. As long as you're good to Hana, I will also be good to her, my daughter-in-law. Don't worry.

I will apologize to Hana now."

Zayn's mother was considerably open-minded, she immediately said to Hana with utmost sincerity. "Hana, I'm sorry. Please forgive me and give me a chance, alright?"

"Alright, Missus Smith. Alright!" Hana immediately said.

Just like that, the crisis was over. It was a happy ending for the Smith family. Ruth was also incredibly happy while looking at them. After the Smith family's matter had been resolved, Ruth turned her head around, and she realized that her future mother-in -law was gone. Where did she go?

"Missus Poole, Missus Poole?" Ruth called out.

Nobody answered her. Ruth then took out her phone and gave Patricia a call. The call was answered very quickly by Patricia, who was on the other end of the phone. "Ruth!"

"Missus Poole... I'm...sorry." Ruth said cautiously, trembling.

"Ruth, I have some matters to attend to so I'll go back first!" Patricia said.

"Oh... Alright, Missus Poole," Ruth said.

She then went back, feeling sulky.

The next day when she went to work, Sabrina asked her, "How did it go hanging out with your mother-in-law yesterday?"

Ruth was very worried. "Sabrina, is my mother-in-law someone that is easy to get along with?"

Sabrina shook her head. " I don't know. You have to ask Jane about this."

"I wonder, when is my Aunt Jane coming?" Ruth asked nervously.

"Jane will be here in South City three days later!" said Sabrina.

Three days passed by very quickly. When Jane had just arrived at the mansion halfway up the mountains in South City, she saw that Ruth, who was dispirited, was waiting at the door.

"Ruth, why are you here?" asked Jane, smiling.

Ruth frowned. "Aunt Jane,.my...future mother-in-law may not be fond of me. If L.were to marry into the Poole family, will I..."

Jane immediately smiled. "It's alright! No one dares to bully US now! That's because I have a personal bodyguard now!"

Chapter 2038 "Aunt Jane, not only did Uncle Alex hand over all the financial power to you, but he even gave you a bodyguard now. I suspect that he did not get you a bodyguard to protect you, it was actually to keep an eye on you so that you can't be snatched away by other men. Look at you now. You're getting prettier and prettier," Ruth immediately said with relief.

Ruth always had no filter. It was only in the face of people whom she feared that her inferiority and helplessness would show.

Ruth was not afraid of her Aunt Jane anymore, so she was able to speak whatever came to her mind.

Jane glared at Ruth with annoyance. "You naughty girl! You can only be so spirited and shrewish in front of a few people like us who are so close to you! If it was someone you're unfamiliar with, you'd instantly become a coward!"

"Hahaha. Aunt Jane...who is your bodyguard then?" Ruth replied.

Jane turned her head around and glanced at that woman who was moving things out of the car and called out, "Isadora?" 1 At the other end, Isadora happened to be taking down the large luggage from the trunk. She pulled the luggage over and gently called out, "Jane."

Jane smiled. "Isadora, let me introduce someone to you. This is Alex's nephew's fiancee, Ruth Mann. We just call her Ruth."

Isadora looked at Ruth with a faint smile. "Nice to meet you, Miss Mann."

Isadora was very polite and she was a little reserved. Ruth was also able to tell that Isadora's self-esteem was a little low. Ruth immediately felt as if she had found a kindred spirit and had a sense of familiar friendliness on Isadora. "So, you're Isadora?"

Isadora nodded shyly. "Yes, Miss Mann."

"Hey!" Ruth immediately became lively. "No...no need to call me Miss Mann. They just call me Ruth. Sometimes, they will call me a shrew. I am a little shrewish, but I am very kind hearted. However, I will never dare to show my shrewish behavior in front of you.

Hahaha. My shrewish behavior can only be used to deal with such a woman like Lily Parker. If I were to be shrewish in front of you, wouldn't I be beaten up into a pulp instead?" 2 Isadora was speechless. In comparison to Ruth, Isadora was more restrained. Although Ruth also felt inferior and would sometimes speak out of turn, she had Ryan's love and Sabrina's protection. She also had such an aunt like Jane protecting her.

Ruth's situation was much better than Isadora's. Isadora was very envious of Ruth. " You are truly blessed with happiness."

Ruth laughed. Jane could tell that Isadora was lonely, while Jane carried her son, Ricky Poole, she patted Isadora's back and said, " Things will slowly become good for you too. In the future, you can hang out with Ruth wherever you're bored. Ruth also has another friend. All of you can go shopping together. Make yourself comfortable. If you lack anything or need anything, just let me know. Alright?"

It was Sabrina who had tasked Jane to take care of Isadora.

Although Isadora was older than Sabrina and was a woman in her thirties, other than the viciousness in fighting and killing, she was incomparably pure when it comes to other matters. She was cruelly forced to give up the only love she had ever experienced when it had just started to bud. The love she had only lasted for three days, but Isadora felt that that love was enough for her to spend the rest of her life alone. 1 After Isadora followed Alex back to Kidon City, Alex and Jane arranged a place for her to stay and they even arranged a house for her near her hometown. They originally thought that Isadora would be able to live on like that. However, they never expected that after Isadora had gotten her later mother's remains back and buried her, she made a trip abroad to bring back that inheritance that Holden had once told her, and then she had the thought of taking her own life.

After not seeing Isadora for a few days, Alex and Jane wanted to see how she was living and if she needed anything else, so they went to visit Isadora. If they had not done so and if they came half an hour later, maybe Isadora would have died, she left the gas stove on and was already at the brink of dying alone in the house.

After Jane and Alex had rescued Isadora, they did not let her return to her house anymore. She had been staying with Jane and Alex instead. Isadora then spent every day with the family of three.

Sometimes, when Jane went shopping, she would also bring Isadora along. After some time, Isadora also felt much better.

However, she still had a gloomy expression on her face.

Jane then tried to have a heart-to-heart with Isadora many times. Isadora did not want to share at first. Later on, she gradually got more familiar with Jane, and it was when she had become more reliant on Jane that she leaned in Jane's arms. "Jane...I miss Holden II

Chapter 2039 Jane was speechless, she had never met Holden, but he had heard Sabrina and Sebastian mentioning him. She had also witnessed Sebastian being depressed for a long time because he had lost his younger twin brother. However, never in a million years would Jane expect that Isadora would miss Holden so much. She did not know how to console Isadora.

Isadora, on the other hand, told her the whole story. "My mother had been dead for more than a decade, so I no longer feel sad about it since a long time ago. As for my brother, I knew that he actually had never wanted to live. He just wanted to send me back to the country, let me get married and have children, and let me live the life of an ordinary woman, what my brother and I had was familial affection. I also knew that my brother would die sooner or later. I... I have never been in a relationship in my life, but I fell in love with Holden. Jane... Do you know what it's like to be in love? I want to carry his children. I want to spend my life with him. I think, as long as I am with him, no matter how much hardship we had to go through in the future, I will not be afraid. I will also never be alone. However, Holden died... Holden is dead. Jane, what's the point of me living alone in this world?" 2 When Jane heard Isadora saying that, tears could not help but silently trickle down Jane's cheeks. She knew that kind of feeling.

When Isadora had no hope, Holden became all of her hope and good things. He was her everything. However, Holden died.

Jane understood it particularly well. However, no matter how much she understood her feelings, one still had to live on.

Jane then hugged Isadora, gently patted her on her back. "Isadora, let me tell you something. I also once had a lover who was killed right in front of my eyes. I also was miserable and in despair at that time. However, haven't I also pulled through? Perhaps you'll meet a better person in the future. Before you meet that person, you can just treat me as your sister and treat Ricky as your nephew. You can also treat Alex as your brother-in-law. There is Sabrina as well. Think about it, how nice is she to you? If it weren’t for Sabrina's arrangements, how can Alex and I bring you back to Kidon City? How can you have a proper burial for your brother and your mother? For the sake of Sabrina, you have to live your life well! Do you understand?"

Isadora was not a foolish girl. She understood everything that Jane said. At that moment when Alex and Jane had saved her, she had already thought it through that she could not take her own life anymore, otherwise, she would have failed Sabrina and Alex and his wife very badly.

From that day on, Isadora took the initiative to tell Jane. "Jane, I know you had married Mister Poole after a great deal of difficulty. I knew very well that there are plenty of people in Kidon City who are jealous of you. Don't worry, Jane, I will protect you in the future. With me by your side, I'll see who still dares to lay a single finger on you!"

Ever since then, Isadora became Jane and Ricky's personal bodyguard. Jane also treated Isadora like her younger sister and had brought her along everywhere she went.

Jane ordered Ruth, "Ruth, after we have put everything in the house later on, you may take Isadora out to have some fun and shop for prettier clothes in all the malls in South city."

"Alright!" Ruth immediately responded.

After taking a pause, Ruth asked Isadora, "Isadora, do you have any place you want to go?" 1 "Can I go see someone?" Isadora asked, mumbling.

Chapter 2040 Ruth glanced at Jane and both their eyes lit up. Isadora had no friends. If she could still find a friend in this world, then Jane certainly would be more than happy about it.

Ruth also felt happy for Isadora. Although that was the first time Ruth had met Isadora, she had heard of her from Sabrina.

Isadora was just like her. Both of them were uneducated and had suffered since childhood. Therefore, Ruth felt like cherishing Isadora as she felt that they had suffered the same fate.

"Who do you want to meet? It's all fine. It's alright. I am very familiar with South City. If you want to meet an old friend, I'll take you there!" Ruth asked in surprise.

"Yes, Isadora, Ruth can take you to whoever you want to meet."

"Yes, I also have a friend named Yvonne Yates. That girl is particularly enthusiastic and she is also a chatterbox. When the time comes, we'll come together and take you to meet your friend. We'll then bring your friend along with US. The four of US can even gather to play card games together."

While Ruth was saying that Yvonne was a chatterbox, she herself acted very much like a chatterbox. "Let me tell you something, Isadora. I am going to run out of common topics with Jane and Sabrina soon. Do you know why?"

Ruth was beaming with joy and excitement as she spoke, she had completely forgotten that the purpose of her coming here to wait for Jane that day was to ask her how to deal with her future mother -in-law. She had even forgotten that Isadora wanted to meet someone, and she had not even asked Isadora who she was going to meet.

She just complained to Isadora happily. "Jane and Sabrina are people who have babies to take care of now. Jane's baby is eleven months old while Sabrina's baby is ten months old. whenever they get together, the topics they discuss are about diapers, which stage of formula they are feeding, if their babies are sucking on their thumbs now, and so on. Gosh...I am so confused when I hear it. Also, do you know that whenever they started talking to each other, not only I will never be able to join in the conversation, I still had to take care of their babies for them! Therefore, Yvonne and I have agreed that we'll cut ties with Jane and Sabrina in the future!"

Isadora was speechless, she truly never expected that this shrew in front of her, who had her hands on her waist, could talk so much. Even Isadora had forgotten who she wanted to meet, she just thought to herself, how could this shrew truly talk so much?

However, Isadora quite enjoyed listening to her. She felt that Ruth truly was very easy to get along with.

Just when foams were about to form at the corner of Ruth's mouth from talking too much, a car stopped behind them. The person, who got down from the car, put her arms on her waist and called out from afar, "You shrew! You're talking bad about me, aren't you?"

Ruth instantly was at loss for words. "Ah? Oh..."

After she turned her head around and saw that it was Yvonne, Ruth instantly smiled. "Yvonne, come quickly, Yvonne! I want to introduce a friend to you! she is my Aunt Jane's bodyguard. You have heard of her as well. She is Isadora Yeatman!"

Yvonne looked at Isadora with a smile.

Yvonne was a little more elegant than Ruth, and she appeared to be more stylish than Ruth, she looked more like a sweetheart compared to Ruth. However, it was very strange because Isadora could feel that once Ruth saw Yvonne, she came well-behaved and obedient like a little puppy. Both of them seemed to have a kind of indescribable relationship where one would also be beaten by the other. Haha! How interesting. A smile actually appeared on Isadora's face.

"Isadora, my name is Yvonne Yates! It's a pleasure to meet you! I heard that you were the one who took care of Sabrina when all of you were on that island. Thank you," said Yvonne with a smile.

"Not really. Sabrina also took great care of me as well. In short, Sabrina was the person who took care of me then. Nice to meet you, Miss Yates," Isadora called out with slight restraint.

"Just call me Yvonne," said Yvonne graciously.

"Yvonne," Isadora called out.

Yvonne then looked at Ruth again, "she is Ruth Mann, and we just call her Ruth, she is my best friend, she is also my partner's cousin, so she'll be my cousin through marriage in the future. Let me tell you something. This shrew seemed to be fierce when she spoke with her hand on her waist."
