Arrogant Man VS Unyielding Woman novel Chapter 142

"Jean, had your mother passed away a long time ago?" Zed cautiously asked while he was looking at Jean's face.

After she heard what Zed said, Jean's face turned pale and her big eyes were slowly filled with tears. She didn't really want to talk about her mother, but she just couldn't resist Zed. She frowned because of the pain that had been accumulated deep down inside her heart. Finally, she decided to tell it to Zed. She wore an awkward smile and said, "My parents divorced when I was four years old. The court ordered that I should live with my father. Not so long after they divorced, I heard the news that my mother had passed away. And I... I didn't even get a chance to say goodbye to her. I..."

Jean paused for a while. Speaking about her mother made her feel so miserable. She couldn't control what she had felt that time. Her tears poured down to her cheeks as she began to cry.

Jean couldn't continue what she had started to say because of the extreme sadness she felt. So she placed a hand on her mouth and turned around.

Zed felt guilty and remorseful as he saw her cry.

'Hey, Zed! Why the hell did you ask Jean about her mother?

Did you see what you've done? She had gone so sad and couldn't stop crying now.

Jean definitely misses her mother so much.

What she regrets most is the fact that she missed her last chance to see her mother before her mother passed away.

Because of that, Jean has turned her earnest care and attention over to her grandma. Her grandma is the most important God-given gift she has.

You should have make Shirley Wen pay for what she had done.'

Zed thought and signed. Then, he took a deep breath and walked into the ward.

As he closed the ward's door, he felt that the room had a depressing atmosphere.

Jean sat on the bed and sadly gazed at her grandma.

After a while, Zed walked closer to her, tapped her shoulder and said, "Sorry, Jean, I didn't mean to make you sad."

"Don't worry. I'm fine." Jean shook her head and wiped her face with her hand as if she was wiping her sadness away.

"I know you are a very kind woman, Jean. Though sometimes you pretend to seek revenge over small grudges, I know you are kind deep inside your heart. My girl, God knows that, too. He will definitely bless you in everything you do."? Standing next to her, Zed tried to comfort Jean. At the same time, he secretly thought, 'You have me now, Jean.

I will take care of you and make you happy.'

After hearing what he said, she shook her head in frustration. His words made her feel even worse.

'Although Shirley threatened Jean using her grandma to take advantage on her, and made grandma's condition worse, Jean didn't have the heart to punish Shirley by herself. At last, Jean turned her over to me.' Zed tried to figure out the whole issue.

"Jean, I just want to know. What have you felt after you slapped Shirley? Do you felt better now? Are you still angry at her rude behavior?"

Zed asked in a low voice.

Jean wore a gloomy face and shook her head.

From her expression, he could tell that she was still furious at Shirley.

'But, she still isn't able to stand up for herself.' Zed clearly knew what Jean's weakness was.

"Jean, I don't mean to blame you, but you have to remember this. You shouldn't please and tolerate those people if they are being selfish and arrogant. Tolerance can't be your solution to solve your problems. Do you think that your family will stop bothering you after you cut your connections with them? Obviously, they won't. You should've already known that, Jean."

Zed said while he tried to remind Jean.

After that, Jean slowly bowed her head down and thought, 'Zed is right! Cutting my ties with my family wouldn't make them stop. They will still disturb my life.' However, Jean still didn't know what she should do about it. So, she decided to ask Zed for help.

"What should I do then, Zed? Will I live a peaceful and happy life if we give the land to them?" Jean helplessly stared at Zed. Before Zed could answer her, she abruptly shook her head and continued, "No! I will not. Even if my father would let me go after he gets the land, Joy, Shirley and Winner wouldn't let me go, that's for sure! They will keep making troubles and involve me in any kinds of issues. I shouldn't compromise with them."

After he noticed Jean's helplessness and anxiety, Zed heavily sighed and wrapped her in his arm.

After a while, he tried to make Jean calm. He whispered to her ears, "Don't think too much. They will not dare to disturb our life recently, Jean. Just wait and relax."

"Zed, can you promise me? Please swear that you will never give me the land, even if they will force me to ask you. Promise?" Jean worriedly said.

"Why? If that land will save you from troubles, I will give it to them." Zed replied. He truly cared about Jean's welfare more than the land.

"No! You have to promise me that you will not." Jean shook her head and looked at Zed. She tried to convince Zed and hoped that he would change his mind.

As he gazed at her big black eye, his heart melted. Finally, he agreed and nodded.

"Okay, fine. I promise. But you have to promise me, don't think and worry too much." Zed looked at Jean affectionately and said.

"Deal!" Jean replied immediately. Jean felt much better after she talked with Zed. She decided to keep all her worries and anxieties temporarily away. But suddenly, she thought about Shirley and asked, "About Shirley... What will you do to her?"

"Hmm. Shirley? She treated grandma so bad, so I told her that if she dares to come into my sight, I will beat her. I will beat her every time we happen to meet until she would dare not to." Zed answered while pretending to be serious.

"Hey, don't be a fool! I don't believe you." Jean doubtingly exclaimed.

"Then, what should I do to make you believe me?" Zed put his face close to Jean's that she could even feel his breath on her face.

While her face was slowly turning red, Jean wanted to push herself away from him. But he held her so tight.

"Jean, you had kept me waiting for this time to come."

Zed's voice was so husky. His eyes that were filled with a mix of subtle emotions were earnestly looking at her.

"Grandma is here. Besides, you are still sick..."

Jean hesitated and reminded Zed that it wasn't the proper time.

"Please, give this moment to me. My fever is already gone, and I want to leave the hospital now." Zed eagerly begged.

"No way, " She immediately declined his request and continued, "Your fever has just dropped, and then you are thinking about leaving the hospital? Do you want to kill yourself? Besides, even if you are allowed to leave, I can't leave grandma alone here."

"Don't worry about that. I will ask my assistant to come here and take care of grandma. I really want to go home, Jean." Zed showed his cute eyes and looked at her. Then he continued, "I know myself so well. I'm strong and healthy. If you force me to stay in hospital, I would be depressed and feel upset. It's really lonely staying here."

"Save it! Last time I was in hospital, you took care of me every day. I didn't even notice that you were depressed or upset."

Jean said and snorted. Jean didn't even look at him because she didn't believe him.

"I regret being part of that show. It wasted me a lot of time. There's a lot of tasks I need to do and finish. Believe me, without me in the office, the company will be a complete mess soon."

Zed continued to convince Jean to let him get out of the hospital. Meanwhile, he also liked Jean's concern for him. It made him feel assured that his wife really cared about him. Zed somehow hoped that moment would last forever.

"Why do you still think about your work? You are severely ill. If you leave now, your health would highly be at risk. Do you want to kill yourself, Zed?"

Jean couldn't stay calm when Zed mentioned about his work and his company.

She couldn't understand why Zed cared more about his work than his health. She was really worried about him and continued, "What are those people you have employed for? Do you think they are not qualified for their job? If your doctor won't let you leave yet, then, you won't leave!"

Jean determinedly said.
