CEO's Reborn Wife

James Black remained silent for a full minute before pressing down on his voice to ask, ”What was the reaction from the Carter Family?”

”Your aunt said that after the Carter Family found out, the whole family went to the hospital, and after the rescue was successful, the Carter Family hasn’t said anything about canceling the press conference. Instead, they hired four female caregivers to take turns watching Jillian Carter in the ward,” Old Master Black said. ”Your aunt said that when Jillian attempted suicide, she couldn’t fathom to what extent the Carter Family would go for Jane, especially when facing the near-death of Jillian.”

”Aunt’s concerns are valid.” Even James Black shared this concern.

He was genuinely afraid the Carter Family might once again compromise for Jillian.

The Carter Family’s compromise would mean harm to Jane Sampson.

”If the Carter Family wants to cancel the press conference, then we’ll arrange a press conference from our side, directly revealing all the truths at the press conference, making Jane and the Carter Family’s relationship public. The rest would depend on the Carter Family’s attitude. However, the Carter Family wants, long pain is pain, short pain is also pain. The choice is theirs when forced to choose between two options, let’s see who they’ll ultimately choose.”

James Black glanced towards the upstairs, ”In any case, with me around, I’ll protect her.”

”Your aunt means the same.” Old Master Black nodded, ”I agree too.”

”Over here, your uncle-in-law will arrange things. You should go upstairs to accompany Jane.” Old Master Black urged James Black upstairs, ”If you don’t go upstairs for a long time, the little lass is prone to overthinking.”

James Black responded with a sound and hurriedly went upstairs, ascending with two steps for every one.

Entering the room, Jane Sampson was sipping on a nearly bottomed-out milk. Seeing James Black come in, she raised her head and smiled at him, her lips still stained with white.

”One more sip, then we’ll rest for a while.” James Black went over and lightly tapped the milk cup in Jane Sampson’s hands, ”Grandfather says to accompany him for fishing when you wake up.”

Jane Sampson’s face fell as soon as she heard it, ”Well, it’s done then, it’s either grandfather finds me annoying or I find grandfather annoying.”

Fishing is too dull, and Jane couldn’t sit still; if she sits there, she would doze off.

”I’ll accompany you.” James Black wasn’t surprised to see Jane Sampson’s impressive speed of changing expressions; upon hearing his offer to accompany her, she immediately smiled sweetly like a blossoming flower.

”That’s good!”

Jane Sampson responded, passing the empty cup into James Black’s hand, she then directly burrowed into the quilt.

Nowhere feels as comfortable as home.

Jane Sampson expressed her comfort as she rolled around in the quilt.

When James Black returned from washing the quilt, he saw his wife wrapped into a cocoon, vigorously attempting to crawl out.

”Come and save me~”

Jane Sampson had only one hand able to move, and she was trying to find the quilt corners to free herself from the quilt.

James Black chuckled at Jane Sampson’s silliness.

”Just sleep wrapped like this.” James Black pushed the quilt wrapped around Jane Sampson inward, then lay down next to her, seeing her puffed-up glare, he finally released her from the quilt by smiling at her.

”Let’s see if next time you still want to roll around wrapped in a quilt.” James Black reached over to hold her in his arms, suddenly speaking to Jane Sampson, ”Jillian Carter slit her wrists in the hospital, was rescued narrowly.”

Jane Sampson’s eyelids fluttered.

James Black could tell from her reaction that Jane Sampson had eavesdropped just now.

A few seconds later, Jane Sampson seemed to regain her ability to speak, ”Actually...”
