Chapter 144
Ella felt that she must not be fully awake. She thought, “This had to be a dream.
Ella said, “Let me sleep a bit more
Jaden said, “Ella, this is all real. We are still husband and wife. I won’t hold your infidelity against you. After this child is born, I will treat it as my
Ella was stunned. As she processed this, she secretly pinched herself.
It hurt. This meant she really wasn’t dreaming.
Ella said, “Jaden, come closer.
Jaden leaned in, and as her hand approached, he didn’t dodge. He took the slap squarely.
If she wasn’t so weak right now, this slap would have been much heavier. But as it was, even the sound wasn’t loud.
“Are you sick, joking about something like this?” She clenched her fist ughtly.
Jaden said, “I know you’re very angry right now, but the most important thing for you is to take care of your health. Once you’re better, you can hit
me however you like.
He gently caressed her head, his eyes filled with deep, affectionate love.
Ella felt more suffocated than ever before.
Ella thought, “What kind of a man have I fallen in love with? He is obsessive, brooding, and calculating
Jaden hadn’t suddenly become like this. He had been this way from the very beginning
But pretending to be a fool was a strategy to bide his time.
the brink of bankruptcy.
When he turned against the Watson family, there was not a moment’s hesitation. Now, the Wasson family was on
He despised himself for cutting off all of Ella’s avensics of escape, and she was almost driven to death by such a situation
Because of their differing perspectives, Jaden could never truly empathize. Instead, he felt he had made a great concession.
Ella’s heart sank deeper into despair.
She asked, “You’re telling me you could accept this child, even though it’s not yours?”
Jaden said, “Yes”
“Even if my heart isn’t with you, you’d still accept it?”
She gathered the courage to continue asking, “What if I cheated on you?”
As soon as Jaden heard this, his gaze turned icy, his pupils narrowing slightly.
Jaden said, “Nothing will happen to you. If you ever cheat, it must be because I didn’t perform well enough, and some shameless person seduced you. Whoever dares to mess with you. I’ll break their bones and feed them to the dogs”
“I mean what I say,” he then added.
Fila only felt a chill down her spine,
Ella said. “Go out, I want to rest
Jaden said, “I stay here with
you
“No need, I want to rest alone”
“Alright, then I’ll be right outside. If you need anything, call me.”
“No need to stay at the door…
“Ella,” Jaden called her name softly.
Ella immediately fell silent. She knew that waiting outside was the big
biggest concession Jaden was willing to make
After he left the room fell silent, but Ella could not calm down
She didn’t dare
in get 100 angry, fearing that it might affect her pregnancy.
She ate a little, slept for a while, and felt slightly benter.
Jaden truly didn’t disturb her, which allowed her to breathe a sigh of relief.
But in the end, Hank came in
He said, “Ms. Willow, please talk to Mr. Jaden. He’s been waiting outside all this time, hasn’t slept or rested, and hasn’t treated his wound, which is starting to show signs of infection. His temperature is very high, but he refuses to seek medical attention and insists on staying by your side.”
Ella said. “Why is Jaden so stubborn?”
I’ve never seen him like this before, but ever since he met you, I can’t figure him out, Hank said anxiously
In the end. Ella couldn’t bear it and said. “Let him in.”
She feared him, but she also loved him.
She couldn’t forget the past, nor could she ignore the many times Jaden had saved her life.
Soon, she saw Jaden, his checks flushed with fever.
His lips were pale, and his steps were unsteady.
The wound had reopened, blood soaking into his clothes and sticking to the injury.
“Why haven’t you treated your wound?” Ella asked.
Jaden pursed his thin lips, saying nothing
Ella was a bit helpless. He was waiting for her to show concern.
Ella said to Hank, “Have the doctor came treat him, and set up a bed nearby.”
Finally, Jaden agreed to be treated.
The bullet was embedded in his flesh, almost as if it had grown together with the tissue, and removing it now required cutting into the muscle.
Technically, this should be done in the operating room, but Jaden was stubborn and insisted on staying in the same hospital room with Ella.
He also refused general anesthesia, opting for local anesthesia instead.
He was scared that if he lost consciousness, when he woke up, Ella would be gone.
He usually had everything under control, never a misstep.
But
Ella’s presence had caused him to repeatedly falter
And he didn’t like this feeling at all,
Because of the local anesthesia, Jaden could still feel the pain, and cold sweat dripped from his forehead.
Ella, watching from the side, felt her heart wrenching.
“Be gentle…” she couldn’t help but cry out to the doctor.
Hearing her, Jaden looked at her in surprise, then smiled.
Just those two words made his heart fill with joy.
It was more effective than any painkiller.
After the surgery, the doctor prescribed anti–inflammatory medication and some post–operative recovery medicine.
Taking the medication would cause side effects like drowsiness.
Jaden refused to take it and tried to endure it.

Chapter 114
Ella said. “Can you just go to sleep! With my current state, where could I possibly run off to?”
Jaden didn’t answer.
Ella said, “This isty’t a minor injury. If it doesn’t heal properly and you end up weak, don’t blame me for not wanting you anymore. You should recover quickly so you can take care of me. If your condition worsens, I might just have to inherit your billions and find myself a younger man…”
“Ella, for the sake of everyone’s safety, it’s better not to have such thoughts. His words were calm and steady, without any emotion, but they were terrifying
Jaden added. Tllagree to anything except that
Ella said. “Then can you please take care of yourself?”
“Alright.”
After that, Jaden was much more cooperative.
Ella also found some peace of mind.
Now, in this delicate time, she didn’t argue with him too much. She focused on her health, improving her diet and taking supplements, and her complexion improved significantly,
Jenny called her to inform her that the Wale family was no longer able to hold on. They didn’t even have enough money to stay in a cheap motel and had been kicked out.
But that wasn’t the main issue. The real problem was that Martha had started planning to sell the child.
She had already found a childless couple who were willing to adopt the lude girl for a price of 2 thousand dollars.
Ella asked. “And the mother of the child agreed
Jenny said. “Of course, she did. If she was willing to follow Brandon without getting married and was determined to have a child for him, abandoning her daughter is nothing to her.
“What a fool” Ella gritted her teeth.
Ella just wanted a child, and after finally getting pregnant, she had to go through so much to protect the child. Now, morning sickness was tormenting her every day.
y’s words made her instantly abandon the idea of having a second child, Whether it was a boy or a girl, they would carry her surname. Why couldn’t a daughter inherit the family businesd
She could just find a man who was willing to marry into the family
Ella said, Til handle this. Let’s see how I deal with them…”
“I’ll take care of it” At that moment, Jaden suddenly walked in from outside the hospital room
Ella asked. “Have you been eavesdropping on my coller
Jaden was becoming more and more devious, even eavesdropping now. Ella didn’t know how many times he’d done it before.
