SWNOVELS Chapter 60 Finds Out William's Secret
Jane was put on a drip and was dizzy. It was dusk when she woke up.
"Madam, how do you feel?"
Mrs. Duncan was sent here last night. She complained that the bed in the ward was uncomfortable.
The nurse reported it to the director. The director immediately paid good money for getting a bed that was the same as the one in Jane's bedroom. It was delivered by air and was replaced just now. It was said that all were arranged according to Mr. William's instructions.
"I'm fine."
Jane lowered her head. She felt that the mattress was much softer. She recognized that this was the one from her bedroom.
After she suffered a stab for William, her treatment was upgraded dramatically. More nurses took care of her. Doctors and nurses were more polite.
"You didn't feel well when you slept in the hospital bed. It has been changed."
The nurse poured a glass of water and brought it to Jane. She said, "The doctor said that you might feel pain when you come out of your anesthesia."
The dosage of painkillers was limited while too much was not good for health.
Her wound had been sewn up. Jane couldn't have acuteness activity recently and had to stay in the hospital for a week at least.
"Yes, I know."
Jane turned on her phone and checked the closing share price of the Duncan Group. Compared to its price in the morning, it did not fluctuate much. The price trend was up overall.
She tried to remember the plots in the novel. It was a surprise that everything was back on track after she became the female lead. Plots in the novel became vague.
Jane felt strongly that she couldn't divorce William if she wanted to avoid the tragic ending of the female lead.
However, at the charity dinner, the killer was fully prepared to attack William. Were the two cases related?
After she came here, Jane only wanted to find out the real killer to give the female lead justice.
"Jane."
The door was quietly opened and William entered. He had changed into a light gray casual suit. He stood in the shadows of lights. It was hard to tell his mood. "Darling, have you finished your work?"
Jane raised her head as her thought was interrupted.
William indeed took care of her last night. She was injured because a scum pushed her. Otherwise, she wouldn't have done this.
"Yes."
William walked in. He was slightly surprised as he did not see Colin and Dayton here.
"The online news is overwhelming and people in the kindergarten must have known it."
When Jane sobered, she asked the nurse to call Lainey. She had to hide this news from Dayton now.
"I've asked Lainey to take a few days off for Dayton."
Jane would rather her son know it a few days later if she couldn't hide it forever. When she recovered, Dayton wouldn't be scared anymore.
It had only been one month and accidents had happened frequently. The police would take time to investigate. Would any crazy guys attack her son before the person behind was arrested?
"I'm scared."
Jane wasn't too sentimental. She didn't care if someone would hurt her. She couldn't afford to put Dayton in any danger.
"I am here with you."
William sat on a chair opposite and said, "It won't happen again."
He didn't love Jane, but they had Dayton. He ignored Dayton's feelings before. From Dayton's point of view, he did not want his Mommy to be hurt, even she was not good enough.
"I lied."
Jane couldn't hide this news from Colin and had a video call with him before. Thanks for retouching, Jane's wound did not look so ugly.
"Dayton doesn't go to kindergarten these days."
Jane looked straight into William's eyes. He wasn't that cold when he was calm.
At least, they could talk equally.
She had promised that she would take Dayton to the amusement park with William in a couple of days.
"I've made a decision for you. I know you don't like me. I hope that we can live peacefully."
Jane spoke out her mind which she kept a long time. She was not here to be an obstacle to William.
He filed for divorce, and she had no objections. But they could not divorce now.
"If you find a woman you loved, I'll pack up and leave right away."
Jane was uncertain about William's reaction when she said this. Taking a step down was the best approach when she was with him.
William was a cold-hearted person. Jane would never expect that he would be grateful. William would only use the money to solve problems. "Okay."
William nodded after he thought about her suggestion for a while.
If Jane did not get him in trouble, his life would not have any change at all. They discussed Dayton's education next.
"You've assigned so much homework to Dayton. Can you remove some of them?"
Dayton was too young. Children, who were of his age, were coddled by their parents. But Dayton had to do his homework when he came home from kindergarten every day. He also attended tutoring. Dayton was even busier than his mother.
Dayton was young and he had more time to learn. It was unwise to push him to achieve.
The Duncan Group was deeply rooted overseas. Jane wondered why William didn't learn how to raise Dayton while playing.
"As Dayton's Mommy, I hate to say that he only has homework in his childhood."
Jane had wanted to share her opinion regarding this issue. From her observation, Colin was also very strict with Dayton.
Colin was stubborn and would not change his mind easily. It could tell from the way he treated the female lead.
Everyone felt that something was wrong with the female lead who was greedy, selfish, and vain. Colin was a different one. "Why don't you talk to Master Duncan?"
William curled his lips. This woman was shrewd. She knew well that if she wanted to stay at the Duncans, she needed Colin's support.
"Grandpa won't listen to me. Besides, it's useless if you don't agree."
Jane smiled fawningly. William got her. She would take it for Dayton.
"He is the successor of the Duncan Group and is very likely the only one."
William's words carried a profound meaning. Ordinary children could be brought up happily because they would never have a chance to take care of a business empire.
Dayton was born in the Duncan's and had to pay for enjoying a wealthy life.
The world was fair in a way.
"You mean..."
William said that Dayton might be the only successor.
Jane blinked her eyes. Even they divorced, William wouldn't have any more children. Did she understand his words correctly?
William only slept with his wife once after six years of marriage.
Jane finally found out the truth.
No wonder William treated Jane coldly and never went home. He was afraid that people would find out his secret!
It was so pathetic!
The CEO of the Duncan Group, who controlled half of Asia's economy and had an impeccable look and figure, was impotent!
No wonder it was said that the world was fair in a way. William, who was good-looking and born in a wealthy family, had a secret!
No wonder he was not interested in women. He couldn't do it!
Jane looked at William with sympathy.
"Darling, could you move back?"
Jane stretched out another hand that was not injured and firmly held William's hand.
William was stunned.
"Honey, don't worry. We'll sleep in the same room. I promise I will keep your secret."
Jane gritted her teeth. She might not be as free as before. But Colin would be suspicious sooner or later if they slept separately. Colin was in poor health and could not take any serious blow.
William didn't say anything."
