Chapter 2
I quickly realized that Jaden and I hadn't even finished our wedding, so I should not say divorce.
"We break up."
"Jenny and I are just siblings. Please stop being unreasonable."
Jenny was the adopted daughter of Jaden's family. Since they were siblings, my jealousy was misunderstood to destroy the relationship between the siblings, which was considered unreasonable in the eyes of outsiders.
But it had nothing to do with the siblings' love.
My patience had reached its limit, so I walked away from Jaden.
But before I took a few steps, Jenny's screams sounded from behind.
"Jaden, my nose is bleeding. Hurry up. Give me a blood transfusion!"
Jenny had hereditary hemophilia. At this moment, she was covering her nose, and blood was oozing from between her fingers.
And her blood type was rare. I was the only one who could give her blood.
I paused for a moment, subconsciously thinking of running away, but before I could take a few steps, Jaden stopped me.
"Jane, quickly give Jenny a blood transfusion!"
No way!
My grandmother, who had depended on me since childhood, just died of a heart attack due to Jaden. I couldn't give Jenny a blood transfusion!
I tried to run with the urn in my arms, but several bodyguards surrounded me from all directions.
"Jaden, let me go! You have killed my grandmother. I can't give a blood transfusion!"
But Jaden just sneered, took a few steps closer, raised his hand and smashed the urn in my hand to the ground.
"When did you learn this new trick? You're using even your most beloved relative as a bargaining chip to contain me. Jane, you're crazy."
My mind went blank, and I couldn't hear what he said at all.
"Grandma..."
They killed my grandmother, and now even her ashes had been crushed.
I sat dejectedly on the ground. My face was pale. And I was so collapsed that I couldn't utter a sound.
When Jaden saw me like this, his eyes showed his sadness. Just as he was about to take a few steps forward, Jenny fell behind him.
The pain in his eyes disappeared in an instant and turned into fear.
"What are you doing? Send her to the hospital for a blood transfusion immediately!"
The bodyguards pulled me up from the ground. I struggled frantically, holding my stomach, and humbly begged Jaden.
"I can't give her a blood transfusion! Jaden, I'm already pregnant with your baby. If I give Jenny a blood transfusion again, the baby will die!"
Jaden looked at me suddenly. "What did you say?"
Jenny was lying on the ground, making sounds as she gasped for breath. Jaden made a judgment almost instantly.
"Jane, you make up any lie to avoid giving Jenny a blood transfusion."
I was shocked.
In Jaden's mind, I could actually lie about my grandmother's death and my baby's safety.
How crazy...
But at this time, I no longer cared about my anger and dissatisfaction. The baby had just been formed. This was my first child. My grandmother said that this was her blessed grandchild. This was my grandmother's last wish before her death. I must not let anything happen to it!
Tears blurred my vision. I begged Jaden.
"Jaden, please let me go. When the baby is born, I'll give Jenny a blood transfusion, but not now. The baby will die. This is our baby."
But Jaden just stood there. A look of reluctance flashed across his eyes, followed by indifference.
The needle was pushed into my vein, and the sedative quickly took effect. I reached out and grabbed the blurry figure in front of me, begging desperately.
"Baby... Our baby..."
My eyes closed weakly, and I fell into darkness.
When I opened my eyes, I found the room was empty.
I was in a coma for a day and a night.
The red and swollen needle holes on the back of my hand indicated that I had been giving a blood transfusion for at least two hours.
I put my hands on my belly.
There was no more move.
I lost my baby.
Chapter 3
I curled up on the hospital bed, feeling hopeless.
But before I had time to grieve, Jaden's assistant came with an urn in his hand.
The assistant looked at me with pity in his eyes.
"This is your grandmother's urn. All the ashes have been put in it. Ms. Ray, please take a look."
My dull eyes regained clarity, and I held the urn as if it were a treasure.
The assistant hesitated and said.
"Mr. Stewart doesn't know about your pregnancy and the ashes. You are still critical to him."
I wanted to laugh, but my cracked lips were so painful that even I made the slightest move.
"So what? He didn't spare either the baby or the ashes."
The assistant moved his lips but didn't say anything in the end. He just gave me a business card of the cemetery and said that the cemetery had been purchased and the ashes could be buried directly.
I really didn't want to go, but I didn't have the money to buy a grave for my grandmother.
I carried my grandmother's ashes to the cemetery and buried the urn with my own hands.
I sat in front of the cemetery for a while, and when I was about to leave, I saw Jaden and Jenny again.
"The assistant said that Jane reserved this cemetery. It would be bad if we just occupied it."
Jaden didn't answer. He had already seen me.
"Jane..."
I didn't respond. I turned around and walked to another place.
But Jaden came up a few steps and held me.
"What are you hiding from?"
I shook off his hand fiercely and walked forward with a cold face.
I was afraid that I would not be able to control myself and lose my composure in front of my grandmother's grave or even do something wrong like killing someone.
Jaden pursed his lips, looking confused and impatient.
I knew he was angry. I was too familiar with him. In the past, whenever Jaden made this expression, I would be scared, take all the blame on myself, and be humble and submissive.
I loved him before.
I didn't love him now.
Jaden's emotions had nothing to do with me anymore.
"Leave me alone." I still left with a cold face.
Jaden finally felt a little panicked. He had a strong feeling that after I left this time, I would never come back.
He made a strange move for no other reason.
"You haven't contacted me for so many days. How is Eunice?"
I looked at Jaden in disbelief.
If he had listened to what I said during these days and called the hospital to confirm, he would not have said such stupid and ridiculous words.
But he didn't. As usual, he did whatever he wanted and felt at ease blaming me.
I looked at him with a sneer.
"Eunice? She's there."
I pointed at the cemetery and looked at Jaden sarcastically.
Jaden frowned. And his hands were clenched, but he quickly loosened them and found a reason for himself.
"No way. Jane, you want to lie to me again."
I closed my eyes and smiled to myself.
Jaden was paranoid and arrogant. He would subconsciously ignore answers he didn't want. He was the wealthiest man, he believed he was never wrong.
I wanted to show him the death certificate and the cemetery registration.
But I was weak and could only stand.
I felt dizzy. Hundreds of blood transfusions over the past five years had made me weak and thin. All the flesh, blood, and spirit inside my body had been taken away.
I squatted down and sat on the ground to rest.
Chest pain, fatigue, and cold sweats were all typical sequelae of blood transfusion.
I had a miscarriage after the blood transfusion, and I had no time to rest before I immediately buried my grandmother's ashes. The suppressed emotions and tired body stimulated my heart, and it beat abnormally fast. For a few seconds, I felt like I was going to die.
Jaden looked at me for a long time. He wanted to speak but he didn't ask any questions.
I leaned against the tombstone. The breeze blew on my face, and I vaguely recalled the first time I met Jaden.
He was a rich man dressed in a well-tailored suit and surrounded by people, while I was an ordinary college student busy with my graduation thesis and looking for a job.
There was a gap between us. If it weren't for Jenny's illness, we would never have met.
But Jaden said he liked me. I didn't believe that the Cinderella story would happen to me.
He recruited me into the company, sent me roses, sent me lunch that was so expensive he made it himself, taught me a lesson, and taught his partner who made dirty jokes to me a lesson over a drinking table...
I inevitably fell in love with him, wondering what a big shot like Jaden could get from an ordinary person like me. Could he possibly take my life?
He wanted my blood and my life. He smashed Eunice's ashes and killed our child with his own hands.
Ever since I became Jenny's tool, I had become particularly sleepy. Sometimes, I slept for the whole day and still felt groggy.
I fell asleep again, and when I woke up, I saw a scene that drove me to despair.
Eunice's grave had been dug up, and workers were putting the ashes in Jenny's hand into the pit and filling it with soil, while Eunice's ashes were casually thrown aside.
Chapter 4
"What are you doing?"
Anger made me instantly sober up, and I pushed the worker aside.
"Who allowed you to do this?"
Jenny didn't care.
"It's just the ashes you found to deceive Jaden. I'll just change them for you. Why do you have to act like I'm bullying you?"
I pushed Jenny aside, snatched the shovel from the worker, put my grandmother's ashes back in, and filled the soil frantically.
"It's just a grave. Jane, are you crazy?"
Jaden grabbed the shovel and stopped me.
Jenny, who was standing beside him, covered her hand with blood and cried out in pain.
"Jaden, it hurts so much. The bleeding won't stop..."
Jaden's eyes darkened, and he looked at me.
"Jane, do you really need to argue with a patient? You are the only one who caused her to bleed and suffer!"
The nurse who was following them got out of the car skillfully and wanted to give me a sedative and take me for a blood transfusion.
I held the shovel in self-defense and looked at Jaden angrily.
"I will never go with you."
I really wanted to kill Jaden and Jenny now.
Jaden looked at me as if I were a funny kitten. With just a glance, he signaled several bodyguards to subdue me easily, leaving me no room for resistance.
I felt despair and looked at Jaden.
"Jaden, you will regret this! I will never forgive you, ever!"
The sedative was pushed into my vein. Years of injections had made me resistant to it, so I didn't fall into a complete coma.
In the car, Jaden looked at my hand which was stubbornly grasping the corner of his clothes and somehow took out his cell phone and dialed his assistant's number.
"Arrange a consultation with experts and perform surgery on Eunice."
The assistant sighed tiredly.
"Mr. Stewart, Ms. Ray is telling the truth. Her grandmother died on the day you left them to attend Miss Stewart's bachelorette party.
