Regret H 742
But after all, she was recognized as a goddaughter by his mother and had grown up in the Collins family.
She could be considered part of the family.
In this situation, he felt reluctant to investigate her affairs.
He only thought about how to make it up to her.
Yet he didn't want to put Jane in danger.
Frank noticed Zachary's unpleasant expression and continued, "But there's no direct evidence to prove anything. If she doesn't tell the truth, reporting it won't help."
"But you should have a way to make her speak."
"What, should we go back and check it out?"
Zachary threw the tablet he was holding aside and pulled out a cigarette, though he didn't light it.
After a moment of silence, he said, "Once Jane is fine, I'll take her back with me.'
"By then, I'll handle all those messy matters, and then I'll take her out to enjoy herself properly."
"Perfect timing." Frank snapped his fingers.
Zachary looked surprised. "What do you mean?"
Frank replied, "We need to go back too, so let's go together."
Jane hadn't woken up yet that night, and both Zachary and Charlotte felt worried.
Charlotte said to Frank, "Let's take Jane back to Jeswood and ask Dr. Travis to check on her."
Frank held her hand reassuringly. "The person I just contacted is a doctor without borders, highly skilled. She said everything is fine, the medication has worked, and the allergy should be gone soon. Jane should wake up shortly." He spoke this for Zachary's benefit as well.
Over the years, he and Zachary could understand each other with just a glance.
Such tender words had never been spoken before.
They were only shared with the women they loved.Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.
Unable to help herself, Charlotte asked Zachary, "When will the allergy test results come out?"
Zachary was anxious too, he wasn't any less worried than Charlotte.
"They only said as soon as possible."
Just then, Jane woke up.
Zachary hurried over, but Charlotte was sitting by the bed, and Frank was keeping watch, so he couldn't approach.
Frank glanced at him, signaling him to wait.
Zachary could only stand by.
Charlotte, however, proactively moved aside.
Zachary thanked her and sat by the bed, helping Jane to sit up.
Jane rubbed her heavy head and looked at Charlotte in surprise. "Didn't you say we were going to the beach for a couple of days?"
Charlotte replied, "We're not playing for now. If you're not feeling particularly unwell, let's head back to Jeswood so Dr. Travis can check you out properly." Jane was still trying to process everything. "It's only been a few days, has the honeymoon ended already?"
"And why should I go back to Jeswood for Dr. Travis to check me out?"
Charlotte's eyes widened in astonishment. "You don't remember anything?"
"I don't have memory loss." Jane shook her head. "I just feel that drowning shouldn't trouble Dr. Travis and shouldn't end your honeymoon early."
"You didn't just drown, you also had an allergic reaction."
Zachary interjected, "Before you lost consciousness from drowning, did you feel anything unusual
Jane seemed quite surprised. "I had an allergic reaction?"
"Yes," both Zachary and Charlotte said in unison.
Then Charlotte asked, "Did you have allergies when you were a child?"
From the time Jane and Charlotte met, she had never seen her have an allergic reaction.
Jane replied honestly, "Never. I thought my body was pretty resilient and couldn't have such a fragile illness as an allergy."
"But after Zachary reminded me... I did recall that aside from getting entangled in seaweed, I must have bumped into something." Chapter 743
