Ch. 1291..1300

To Be Yours Again By Taylor Chapter 1291-t's Useless Everyone knew what Zack was up to. No one called him out or said a thing, saving for a slight snort from Gilbert. Still, Janet felt bad about the incident, especially when she saw how Zack was protecting her in front of everyone. But what else could she do for him? Not only was she helpless, but she might also cause more trouble for him. She hated herself for being incompetent.

"I've arrested the man who stabbed you. He's not the main problem, but he's backed by the Britts." As Gilbert spoke, he turned to Jenny. He believed the man's connection to the Britts complicated the situation more than they had expected. The man was the club owner on papers, but he was financially backed by the Britts, hence the impudence. Although Gilbert was doing well in Bardoff City, he was far from being as influential as the Ten Elites. Therefore, he'd need Jenny's help with this.

Zack felt frustrated because he knew he couldn't take down the Britts. At the same time, he didn't want to trouble Jenny. "If he's the one who stabbed me, we should send him to prison." As long as whoever was backing the man didn't bail him out, Zack had no plan to drag on the matter. He didn’t have the capability to do so anyway.

Knowing what was in her brothers' minds, Jenny held a different opinion." Zack, just focus on your recovery. You don't have to worry about other stuff. I'll take care of it."

"Jenny…"

"Listen to me. I will take care of it," she cut him off with a laugh. She knew Zack was worried about her safety, but she didn't fear the Britts, not in their current state.

She had given Brandon Britt a stern warning after the drama involving Yvonne.

Although Yvonne had disappeared from Bardoff City, it didn't stop Jenny from holding a grudge against the Britt family. Now that Brandon Britt had once again gotten on her wrong side, it would be a pity not to do something about it.

Moreover, the Walters and the Fausts needed to expand their businesses within the confines of Bardoff City’s limited economic pie, and to do so, they would need to acquire the businesses of their rivals.

Through exchanging glances, Jenny and Alec reached a pact. They wanted to take everything owned by the Britt family.

Zack didn't say more in the face of Jenny's determination. He had full trust in her capabilities. "Sure. I'll leave it to you, but don't let them take advantage of you."

"Okay. Have a good rest. We'll leave now." Then, she dragged Gilbert out of the room without asking for his opinion, offering the young couple some privacy.

Gilbert was annoyed. "Why did you drag me out here? I have more to talk to Zack about."

"Gilbert, were you planning to make him break up with Janet?" She laid out the truth-she knew his thoughts well. His silence was an admission.

Feeling troubled, she reminded him, "Look how Zack is protecting Janet. You should know he doesn't mind taking on the trouble for her. I think he'd only feel bad for not protecting her better. He won't listen to what you say to him. It's useless."

She deliberately persuaded Gilbert to give up on talking Zack out of the relationship and allowing him to pick his path. Plus, she didn't want the brothers to be upset at each other.

Gilbert knew her intention and let out a long sigh. He stared at her and then at Alec. With a shake of his head, he said, "Whatever. I'll let it be. You never listened to me in the past, and he won't listen to me now."

All of a sudden, he felt like a wicked stepparent in novels, one who was vocally against the protagonists. It was unnecessary to upset everyone.

To Be Yours Again By Taylor Chapter 1292-How Could He Say It's Worth It?

Jenny could tell that Gilbert was upset. She quickly added, "Gilbert, I know you're doing this in Zack's best interest. But he's an adult now. We can't make decisions for him."

He merely waved his hand. "That's enough. You should leave." Then, he trudged ahead and disappeared from her sight. Perhaps, it was time to have a life of his own instead of focusing all his attention on Jenny and Zack. As the eldest, he always acted like a father, worrying they'd date partners who were unsuitable for them.

She was woeful at the sight of Gilbert leaving. "Was I too harsh to him just now?” Alec gave her a back hug and said affirmatively, "No. You were right. It's Gilbert who needs to think about it. He puts himself in the role of a father by disciplining you. But in truth, he's not that much older than both of you, and he never had the experience of being a father. He doesn't have more life experience compared to you. You're not at fault. He's the one who has confused his role."

Despite that, Jenny didn't feel better at all and wallowed in a low mood. Seeing that, Alec hurriedly changed the topic. "Jenny, don't you have any pity for me? I haven't had dinner, and I'm starving." His stomach cooperatively rumbled at the same time.

It struck her that they had not had dinner before arriving at the hospital. In fact, they haven't ate any food since alighting the plane.

"Sorry for making you starve with me." She looked sheepish. "Let's go and have a nice meal. I'll buy you dinner."

"Sure. I'll eat you out of house and home, my wife-to-be!" He chuckled and held her hand as they left the hospital.

Meanwhile, things weren't as harmonious between Zack and Janet in his room.

"Janet, what's wrong? Why haven't you said a word?" He noticed that she had been silent ever since he woke up. She refused to speak, and he grew concerned. "Are you in shock? Don't worry. I promise I won't let this happen again."

She finally lifted her head and stared at him. "How could you promise that? You weren't even the cause behind this incident."

"Janet…"

"You had nothing to do with it and didn't have to risk yourself to save me. You almost lost your life. Got it?" Fuming, she glared at him with misty eyes.

That caught him off guard, but he quickly collected himself. "That won't happen.

I'm going to be with you forever. I'm not losing my life."

All the words she wanted to say to him were stuck in her throat. Tears streamed down her face, sending Zack into a panic. He wanted to wipe her tears, only to realize that he was physically unable to do so. "Janet, don't cry. You're making me feel bad." He had no idea why she cried, but he was upset at the sight of it.

She wiped the corner of her eyes to stop her tears from falling. "I think you're foolish. Is it even worth it to risk yourself to save me?"

"Of course it is," he said without hesitation.

He was willing to sacrifice himself for her safety, but she thought he was a fool.

How could he say that it was worth it? She felt that she wasn't worth his sacrifice. At that thought, she cried even louder.

Zack grew more nervous. "Janet, stop crying! Did someone bully you? Tell me, and I'll teach them a lesson.

To Be Yours Again By Taylor Chapter 1293-Join Me, Then?

Janet shook her head while crying. "No one bullied me." No one dared to bully her with Zack by her side.

He badly wanted to hug his inconsolable lover, but he was unable to move and was forced to watch on helplessly. "Janet, don't cry. I can't even give you a hug right now."

She cried even louder at his remark. novel.xo "Why are you…so foolish?"

"I'm not foolish. If I were a fool, I wouldn't have come across a lovely girl like you," he answered with a chuckle, feeling like the happiest man on earth at that moment.

She felt his love, but the love had become such a suffocating burden for her.

She loved him too, but she believed she wasn't a good match for him.

It took her a while to calm down. She patted her eyes dry. "Zack, I'm sorry. You got hurt because of me." She thought an apology was warranted.

"Janet, we are one. We don't owe each other anything. novëxo If I were the one in trouble, I believe you would have rushed over to save me." He didn't need her apology because she wasn't at fault.

Still, she felt bad for him. "My parents…"

"Don't overthink now. When I'm discharged, let's pay them a visit. We might figure out a way to deal with them." Growing up without parents, Zack had no idea about the family dynamics between Janet and her parents. It was said that a parent's love for the child was universal, but he didn't feel that Janet's parents had any love for her. Maybe there were indeed parents who had no affection fortheir children, n.ove.lx.o and Janet's parents were an example. Well, his parents too…

Had they loved him, they wouldn't have abandoned him and made him an orphan.

Janet shook her head in horror when she heard the suggestion to visit her parents. "No! You shouldn't go!" She could picture the words that her parents would say to him. They would definitely demand money and might even pester him about money after they acquainted themselves with Zack.

She feared that she might cause further harm to him.

"Calm down. If you don't want me to go, I won't. n.ove.lx.o Anyway, we're in this together. No matter what happens, we will do it as a team." He held her hand to soothe her.

The warmth of his touch calmed her. "They're not good people, and they will probably pester you after you visit them. That's why I don't want you to go-"

"Yeah, I know." He nodded. He was aware of her concerns. novëxo Honestly speaking, he was fine with her parents. Although he wasn't as rich as Jenny or Alec, he was never short of money, and satisfying the greed of her parents wouldn't be too much of an issue. However, Janet had made it clear that she didn't want him to go down this route. Therefore, he wouldn't do it to avoid upsetting her.

She had gathered herself and put the thought of her parents behind her." You've just woken up, and you're still weak. You need more rest."

"But I can't sleep." He woke up feeling as though he had slept for a century.

Moreover, he was worried that Janet would leave him after he fell asleep.

She flashed him a defeated smile. "Even so, you should lie in bed and rest."

"Join me, then?" He raised his eyebrows cheekily. If she joined him in bed, time would go by faster.

She promptly blushed. "How?" "Why not? novëxo We can squeeze into this bed." Then, he moved a little to the side to make space for her. The blush on her cheeks deepened

To Be Yours Again By Taylor Chapter 1294-How Do You Plan to Deal With Them?

In the following days, Jenny would drop by Zack's room for a quick visit before work. Most of the time, she didn't need to enter to check on him because Janet was right by his side. Her presence would only be an interruption.

Zack was almost fully recovered. It was then he reached out to Jenny to ask her opinion on the best way to deal with Janet's parents. He received news that the Fausts and Walters had worked together to destroy the Britts, starting with an investigation into the club. The Britts were deeply corrupted and were in a precarious position after the targeted attacks by the two families.

Since Zack didn't need to worry about the Britts, his full attention was on Janet's parents, who might pose endless trouble for him if they were not handled well.

He never ran from trouble, but he knew the last thing Janet wanted was to see her parents being a source of trouble. At the end of the day, none of them would be happy if her parents weren't taken care of.

After hearing Zack out, Jenny sank into a short silence. Then, she said," Zack, don't worry about this. I'll bring my men to iron this out."

"How do you plan to deal with them?" he asked.

"Well, since they planned to sell their daughter off, let's pretend that Janet has been sold off to stop them from contacting her." If she brought her men to send Janet's parents a warning, she believed that they wouldn't cause further trouble.

However, she had to carefully think over the execution of the idea.

Zack looked a little concerned. "Will that work? We can't be too hard- handed because they're Janet's parents." He wouldn't have bothered if they weren't.

"Zack, don't worry about it. I have never let you down, have I?" She waved at him dismissively, thinking the task at hand was a piece of cake. "You should return to your room. You'll be discharged in two days."

"Okay. After I'm discharged, I plan to marry Janet as soon as possible," he suddenly told her.

She was surprised at the confession, but she understood his feelings. "I'm okay with that. But we'll have to see if Janet's going to say yes."

"Of course she will." He sounded extremely confident, to which she merely smiled.

She had an inkling that Janet, who was currently troubled and stressed out, might not say yes to him right away. Anyway, it was not her place to comment on their relationship.

After Zack left, Jenny made a call to Melissa Collins. "Bring a few men with you and follow me on a trip."

"Where are we going?" Melissa questioned.

"Just running an errand. It won't take long." Jenny believed that dealing with Janet's parents would be a breeze.

Melissa agreed to join her. Jenny didn't leave immediately. Instead, she only took leave after doing her routine patient checks. She met Melissa at the hospital entrance.

She didn't inform Alec of her decision to meet with Janet's parents because he was in the thick of taking down the Britts. As for Gilbert…

Ever since Jenny’s conversation with him, he never paid Zack another visit, as if he was prepared to let go of him. Jenny sighed at Gilbert's behavior- she was helpless in front of him.

"Let's go," she muttered, sitting in the passenger seat. Melissa drove her to the address provided with a car in tow that was filled with the men Melissa had brought with her.

Melissa never asked Jenny the reason they needed reinforcements. She'd do anything as long as it wasn't against her interest. Since she was deeply indebted to Jenny, she'd follow her orders without doubt or protest.

To Be Yours Again By Taylor Chapter 1295--I Had Sand in My Eyes While Jenny, Melissa, and their bodyguards were on their way to Janet's parents, Janet had just ended a conversation with them. Her eyes were red and glistening as she panted, clearly just emerging from a fight. How could she not fight with them? They had the audacity to say that they wanted to come to Bardoff City for Zack and that they wanted him to be their meal ticket forever.

At that instance, her only thought was to die and bring her parents along. She wondered why God had to make her suffer. Why was it so tough to stay with a man she loved?

"Janet?* Zack came searching for her when she didn't return to his room for a long time. He was worried after finding her alone in the corridor.

Hearing his voice, she hurriedly wiped away her tears. "Why did you leave the room? I'll be there right away."

He didn't see her crying, but he sensed that something was wrong from her reddened eyes. "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine. I had sand in my eyes." She smiled as not to worry him.

The more she pretended she was okay, the more worried he became.

Sighing, he went up to her and pulled her into a hug. "Don't worry. Jenny will deal with your parents."

"Yeah." She wanted to tell him that no one could solve the issue and no one could help. But she kept the thoughts private because she didn't want to worry him.

They returned to his room, and she sat by his bed. He poured her a glass of water. "Here, drink up."

She was taken aback, followed by embarrassment. "Look at me, making the patient pour me water."

"It's not a big deal. I'm almost recovered." Zack felt completely fine. If the doctor hadn't forced him to stay for a few more days, he would have left the hospital right away.

She sipped on the water, messy thoughts crowding her mind. He was nervous because he had no idea what was in her mind. His hand was sweating as he held a diamond ring tightly, the one he had requested someone to quietly deliver yesterday.

"Janet, have you ever thought about your life in the future?" he asked, attempting to divert her attention.

She fell into silence. It took her a while to answer, "I guess I'll be like the average woman, living my ordinary but remarkable life with a husband who loves me and two cute kids."

That was her dream. Zack was touched by her description, for it was the life he looked forward to as well. ‘Janet, if… if I'd like to build that life with you, will you…" he stammered nervously and found himself at a loss for words. However, he had one knee on the ground as he showed her the ring.

"You…" She was stunned.

"Will you marry me?" He finally found his voice after a while.

She was jolted back to reality—this was a marriage proposal. It wasn't anything grand, and they didn't even have a third party to be a witness, but she believed he wasn't joking.

Staring at the man with one knee on the ground, she sensed the sincerity in his eyes that came with a mix of nervousness. She wanted to say yes, but she was reminded of Gilbert's doubt and her parents' announcement of coming to Bardoff City for Zack. She hesitated.

If she agreed to marry him, her parents would think that they were in the right to meet Zack. They might even pester her for her entire life.

"Janet, will you marry me?" His heart almost leaped out of his mouth as he waited for an overdue answer. He was confident that she'd say yes because they got along well when they were dating, and they were ready for marriage.

However, her silence crushed his confidence.

To Be Yours Again By Taylor Chapter 1296-She Was Not to Be Trifled With "I'm sorry, Zack, that was too sudden. I haven't…” Words stumbled out of her mouth, and thoughts jumbled up in her head. She was telling him that she wasn’t ready, that it was too sudden, and that she needed to think about it. But her words were stuck in her throat in the next second because he had pulled her into a hug.

She was quiet. Feeling the warmth from his body, she badly wanted to say yes without any care in the world, but…she didn't have the courage to do so.

Perhaps, just like Gilbert had said, life for Zack would be easier without her.

Zack wouldn't have had to face the hazards of getting involved with her parents.

"It's alright, Janet. I can wait." Zack accepted her explanation of the proposal being too sudden. After all, he had indeed acted impulsively. He had been thinking about marriage, but the early proposal was outside his original plan. He understood her panic and her refusal to say yes. Instead of feeling angry, he was upset at himself for rushing the proposal. It wasn't the right time.

Janet gave him a nod in a daze. He didn't press further, much to her relief.

Anyway, she didn't have to worry about giving him an answer at the moment.

Meanwhile, Jenny and her team had left Bardoff City and crossed the borders into a small town in a district near the city. Although the town was unaffiliated with Bardoff City, people there were rich because they were close to the city.

Therefore, it shocked Jenny that Janet's parents would even think of giving up their daughter for a loan.

Jenny found her way to Janet's family home, where laughter could be heard from within. None of Janet's family seemed to care about her wellbeing in Bardoff City.

Jenny went through her plan with Melissa in the car. After hearing the plan, Melissa gave her a thumbs up. "Roger that. Don't worry. I won't disappoint you.

I'm a professional when it comes to acting."

Jenny wasn't planning to meet with Janet's parents because she was afraid of giving herself away. No one knew if Janet's parents had looked into Zack's background. If they did, they'd recognize her as well. That would foil her plan, which was why she needed to call for Melissa’s help.

Later, Melissa and a few of her bulky men knocked on the door of Janet's parents' home. The family was faring quite well for owning a three-story house in the town. At least, they must be far from starving.

Soon, someone answered the door. Melissa recognized her as Janet's mom from the files that Jenny shared.

"Who are you?" Janet's mom frowned at the sight of a female stranger. Melissa, donning a pair of sunglasses with a few huge guys with her, looked like she was not to be trifled with.

"Are you Janet Hale's mother?" Melissa demanded to know as she forced her way into the house. Her bodyguards followed suit and stood behind her when she sat on a chair, looking pompous and threatening.

Not only was Janet's mom shocked, but even her dad and her brother, seated in the living room, appeared confused. The trio huddled together and exchanged glances. They had no idea about Melissa and the reason she came knocking on their door. One thing was for sure-she was not to be trifled with.

"Miss…"

"Who are you calling "Miss'? Do you have no manners?" Melissa glared at the unlucky one who spoke up as one of her bodyguards grabbed Janet's brother by the collar and threw him on the floor.

"Ah! That hurts! Dad, Mom, save me!" Janet's brother winced in pain and wailed while the bodyguard stepped on his arm.

To Be Yours Again By Taylor Chapter 1297-er son assaulted.

But Melissa had no intention of stopping. novelxo She had heard from Jenny about the wrongdoings of this family. They had pawned their daughter to get money for dowry to be used in their son's marriage. "How wicked does one have to be to do that?" she wondered. She decided to give them a lesson and scare the hell out of them to prevent them from giving Janet more trouble.

"The life of your son is in my hands. I'd advise you to behave." With a smirk, Melissa waved at the bodyguard, who stepped harder on the arm of Janet's brother. The sound of bones snapping echoed in the house. Now, even Janet's dad was panicking, but he didn't do anything rash, novëxo knowing they could not afford to get on the wrong side of these thugs.

'"This lady, who…who exactly are you? We have not done you any wrong. Why would you hurt my son?" He tried to calm down and sounded as polite as possible.

Given his amicable attitude, Melissa finally declared, "We're here today because your daughter doesn't know better. She has been sold to my boss, but she keeps thinking of running away. This must be the fault of her parents for not raising her well. Don't you think I should teach you a lesson?

The moment they heard that the trouble had something to do with Janet, the old couple hurriedly waved their hands.

"We have nothing to do with Janet Hale now. We've given her up to you,nvëlx.o so she belongs to you now. If she tries to run away again, just give her a good beating. Over time, she won't think of escaping anymore," Janet's mom proposed the idea, much to Melissa's disbelief. How could a mother say that?

However, Melissa noticed the woman's eyes on her son, looking as if she was feeling the pain as well. She came to realize that Janet's mom was merely playing favorites.

"Who knows if you're telling the truth? You could be working with her, waiting for her to escape so that you can sell her to someone else! Is that how you make money?'" Melissa chuckled icily. She didn't trust their words at all.

Janet's mom shook her head. "No, no. That won't happen."

"Does that mean she's now the woman of my boss?" Melissa questioned.

Janet's parents nodded furiously. "Yes, yes, she belongs to your boss. nvëlx.o Be it dead or alive, she has nothing to do with our family. We won't look for her."

"Is that true?" Melissa sounded doubtful.

Janet's mom swore, "Don't worry. I will never look for her." Prior to this, she had thought of looking for Janet, but knowing how threatening the thugs were, she had no courage to do that anymore.

Melissa was satisfied with the answer but left a warning, "That's great.

You'd better not come up with any funny ideas. Janet Hale is the woman of our boss, and she has no parents from now on. If you come looking for her, n.ove.lx.o I'll warn you that my boss is even worse than me. You might even lose your life."

"No. Of course not. We will not be looking for her." Janet's mom shook her head.

Having witnessed Melissa's hot temper, she believed that Melissa's" boss’ must be scarier.

Melissa stood up, satisfied with the outcome, but she wasn't ready to leave yet.

She went up to the brother, bent over, and examined the man grimacing in pain on the ground. "I heard you sold your daughter for his marriage. If your son needs money, will you look for Janet Hale again?" n.ove.lx.o She was obviously suspicious.

Janet's brother blurted out, "No, no. I promise that I will not look for that woman." He had fractured one of his arms and didn't want the same thing to happen to the other.

To Be Yours Again By Taylor Chapter 1299-He Won't Get Involved in My Life Alec's gaze was scorching. Jenny found herself unable to look away after they locked eyes. There was a change in the air-it was filled with chemistry and passion. Before she could make sense of it, she felt him kissing her on the lips.

It was a light peck, but he lingered for a little longer.

Her phone rang at the wrong time. Alec almost wanted to tear the caller into pieces. Pulled back to reality, she pushed him away embarrassedly. 'Til take the call."

He was moody and silent. She could tell he was pissed, but she had to take the call. After she gathered herself, she checked her phone and saw that it was Zack, so she picked up without hesitation.

"Jenny! Janet is missing!" He sounded anxious over the phone. She was caught by surprise. She had just resolved Janet's family trouble. Why did Janet go missing right after?

"Calm down. I'll go to you." She hung up, scooped up her coat, and prepared to leave. Alec followed along irritably. He couldn't stay out of it because Zack was Jenny's family. "I'll go alone. You should rest." Jenny hoped he could rest at home because he was busier than her.

Instead of listening to her, he was already in the driver's seat. "Stop nagging.

Let's go and take a look." She said no more, and they departed for the hospital.

Meanwhile, in the hospital room, Zack was staring blankly at a letter in his hand.

He never expected to wake up to Janet's absence and the letter she left by his pillow. She wrote that she was not a good match for him and that he deserved better. Therefore, she chose to leave and asked that he stop looking for her.

That was utterly ridiculous to Zack. Why would she think so? She was the perfect woman for him.

When Jenny arrived, she found Zack spacing out by the edge of his bed.

Perhaps, he was too shocked to come up with a response. He didn't even look for Janet and opted to call Jenny for help instead.

"Zack, what happened?" she asked. He handed her the letter, which she skimmed through speechlessly. "Did you not tell her I will settle her family trouble?"

"I told her." He thought Janet had taken his words seriously, but she seemed to have shrugged it off.

Jenny sighed, thinking that she should have hurried to the hospital and told Zack and Janet after she had settled the score with Janet's family. "Don't worry.

I'll get someone to look for her. She has nowhere to go within Bardoff City, so we'll find her in no time," she comforted Zack. Not long after, she and Alec sent some men to search for Janet. With their combined capacities, there was no one they couldn't locate within the city.

"How about Gilbert? Did you not call him?" she asked.

Zack flashed her a bitter smile. "Gilbert said he won't get involved in my life anymore. He said that he's unconcerned about Janet's whereabouts."

Dumbfounded, Jenny realized that Gilbert must have been hurt after what she said to him. That was why Gilbert had not shown up at the hospital for a few days. Even when Zack called him, he declared he didn't want to be involved.

Oh, whatever. Jenny decided to go to Gilbert's and clear the air once they found Janet.

To Be Yours Again By Taylor Chapter 1300-d the call, she immediately rushed over with Zack, praying that nothing would happen to Janet. She dared not imagine how Zack would be if something had happened to her.

Ten minutes later, the car pulled up in front of a tall building. Many had gathered downstairs, and the firefighters were laying out an air cushion. It was obvious what was happening.

When Jenny told Zack that Janet had been located, he was relieved. At the moment, however, he was desperately climbing the stairs.

"Janet!" he yelled.

Seeing him running toward the stairs like a madman, she dragged him into the elevator in time. God knew how long it would take for him to climb the stairs.

'Zack, calm down. How can you persuade Janet to calm down if you're not calm?” She was afraid that Zack might end up pushing Janet off the edge if he wasn't calm.

At her words, Zack steeled his nerves. Soon, the elevator doors opened, revealing the sky roof where firefighters were trying to persuade Janet.

However, Janet's heart was filled with nothing but despair. In her opinion, she never should have been born. Death would return her to her rightful place as she didn't deserve happiness.

Even though she had mentally prepared herself, her heart raced when Zack appeared.

"Janet!" Zack called to her. "Don't be silly. There's nothing we can't get through together."

"Zack, I'm sorry." Janet smiled bitterly. No one could understand the torment she was experiencing. Refusing to hear her apologize, Zack was about to walk toward her, but Janet stopped him, saying, "Don't come over, or I'll jump."

Zack had no choice but to stop, trying to figure out a way to convince Janet not to jump.

Sighing, Jenny stepped forward and said, "I've already taken care of your parents, and they won't trouble you again."

Janet was too kind, which was why her parents took advantage of her.

Even though she started resisting them in recent years, it was to no avail, and they were still manipulating her.

Jenny, however, was different.

Janet fell silent as she knew that Jenny was right. They would only get out of her sight if they were afraid.

"Janet, come here. Don't be silly. Better days are just around the corner," Zack said.

Janet seemed tempted. She wanted to live a happy life. If her parents got out of her hair, she and Zack would be able to live a happy life.

In her moment of hesitation, Zack rushed over to embrace her. After he wrapped her in his arms, he was relieved.

"You idiot! How could you do this to me!" he cried.

"I'm sorry…" Janet buried her head in his chest. She had done it because she had no choice
