"Jane! Dont be confused! Grandpa will make a decision for you!" Mr. Rochester slammed the table, his beard shaking with anger.
Edward Cullen looked at Jane Eyre with complex eyes, then at Claire Randall who was holding onto him, and an unknown anger surged in his heart.
He gritted his teeth and said, "Fine!"
"You little bastard, how could you treat your wife like this!" Mr. Rochester raised his cane to strike Edward again, but Jane, despite her pain, hurriedly grabbed Mr. Rochester.
"Jane, let go, I must teach this bastard a lesson today, so he wont be confused, mistaking a weed for a treasure!"
Jane didnt let go, shook her head: "Grandpa, dont blame him, if you want to blame someone..." She gave a bitter smile, "Blame me! Everything is my fault!"
Yes, everything was her fault!
She was wrong for not being by his side at the best time after her three-month coma in the hospital, causing him to be schemed against!
She was wrong for being so deeply in love with him, unable to bear to see him hurt in the slightest.
All of this was her fault! Because of love, she deserved to be humble, despicable.
"As long as Im alive for one more day, you two will not divorce, and I will not let you marry this malicious woman into our family! Get out, I dont want to see you!" Mr. Rochester turned away, unwilling to look at Edward anymore.
Edward left without hesitation, holding Claire Randall.
Jane turned around and gave a bitter smile, the dull pain in her back almost overwhelming her consciousness.
Jane pulled Mr. Rochester towards the dining table, "Grandpa, dont be angry, I wish you a happy birthday, may you live as long as the southern mountains." Then she presented her prepared gift.
The old man and everyone else looked at her pretending to be strong, all shaking their heads and sighing, love is really tormenting.
Old wounds not healed and new ones added, back at the Cullen Mansion, Jane was already physically and mentally exhausted,
The house was cold and empty except for the small light Mrs. Potts left for her, this was a living tomb she had drawn for herself!
Jane was used to it and went straight to the bedroom, for the first time not noticing the man sitting on the sofa.
The injury was on her back, Jane was powerless, and her back was already scarred, whether to deal with it or not was not important anymore!
She didnt even bother to change her clothes, just lay down and fell asleep.
...
In the past, no matter how late he came back, she would greet him with a smile, this was the first time the woman ignored him, Edward Cullen felt a strange anger in his chest, almost without thinking, he ran towards the bedroom on the second floor.
"Jane Eyre, what are you up to today?"
But the answer he got... was a silent back.
Edward was furious, this woman... very good.
He had better teach her a lesson tonight, or he would not be Edward Cullen.
Thinking about it, Edwards hand suddenly reached for Janes back, and the memory of the stick hitting her back made his hand stop.
"Click", the lights in the room were turned on by him, the sudden bright light made Jane unable to help but open her eyes, frowning slightly.
And Edward also saw that she was still wearing the white tassel skirt she wore in the evening, with dark red marks on it.
"Why are you here?" His voice was filled with disbelief.
Edward looked at the dark red marks, his face turning pale with anger, "Do you still want your back?" He commanded: "Come here, Ill apply medicine for you."
Jane didnt move, Edwards patience was gone, he dragged her over, "What are you pretending to be pure for, havent seen it before!" Then he started to work without any courtesy.
"How did the injury on your back come about?" Edward asked casually while dealing with it.
Jane was silent, a complex look flashed through her eyes, and after a long time, she said: "A long, long time ago, in order to save a benefactor, I was beaten by someone."
"You are really kind-hearted! What kind of benefactor can you trade your life for!" Edward snorted coldly, a trace of discomfort passing through his heart.
Jane didnt speak anymore, just let him deal with her wound.
Even if he didnt know his strength, she endured it without saying a word.
There was a peaceful coexistence between the two for the first time after marriage, but why was her eyes sour so much?
Jane knew in her heart that he would come back here, just for that woman.
He and Claire Randall were going to get married, and the first thing to get was her divorce certificate from him! But she would rather die than let Claire Randall have her way.
"Edward Cullen, you dont have to pretend to be nice to me to make me divorce quickly, before it was just to save my own face." Jane turned over and left his range, "In this life, you can only be tied to me!"
"Snap!"
The medical box on the side was violently overturned by Edward, he was brainwashed tonight to think that she was a little pitiful, in front of this arrogant, unapproachable poisonous woman, how could she be pitiful?
Edward grabbed Janes wrist, "Then you can try, whether you have this life to be my Edward Cullens woman."
She was right, he came here to ask her for a divorce.
Janes shoulders shook fiercely, and when she looked up again, the fear in her eyes had been replaced by determination: "Then you can take my life! Otherwise..." Janes tone was even more firm: "You completely give up this idea!"
A sentence completely aroused the mans anger, he gritted his teeth fiercely, but in the end, he couldnt bear to hurt her, Edward slammed the door and left.
Disturbed by Edward, Jane had no sleep, and in the second half of the night, the pain was unbearable, and she was delirious with a high fever, and woke up again at noon the next day.
Jane saw Edwards tall and straight figure standing by the window at a glance, clearly, the two were only a few meters apart, but the distance in their hearts was far away.
Noticing her movements, Edward turned his head, and at a glance, he met her lonely and bitter black eyes, his heart trembled fiercely, with an unknown emotion.
"Woke up." Edward looked away, his voice cold: "Get up and come with me."
Go with him?
The word "divorce" flashed through her mind, Janes face stiffened, "No, I still have to go to school to teach the students!"
Jane got up from the bed and ran out the door.
Looking at Janes disappearing figure, Edwards face turned completely blue.
Shit!
He should say that this woman is ungrateful, or dont know how to die? The back injury caused a high fever, if it wasnt for his timely discovery, maybe she would have become a corpse, and now she still wants to go to school?!
Edwards legs were long, and Jane couldnt possibly escape successfully, and in the end, she was still thrown into the co-pilot position by Edward, who was strong.
"From today on, if you dare to sneak out of the Cullen Mansion, I will break your legs." Edward left a cold sentence, and under his foot, the gas pedal was stepped on fiercely, the car started quickly, and went down the ring city high-speed, at the intersection leading to the Cullen Mansion, "Squeak", it stopped abruptly.
The inertia made Janes head bump forward, she looked at the drivers seat anxiously: "Is there anything wrong?"
The answer to her was the "bang" of the door closing, Edward left without looking back.
Looking at Edwards retreating figure, Jane laughed bitterly, and tears almost came out.
"Beep beep beep..."
The deafening sound of the horn, one after another, Jane seemed not to hear, just like a puppet without a soul, sitting on the ground in a daze.
"Jane Eyre!" A deep, slightly scolding male voice came from the ear, "This is the main road, with cars coming and going, you are sitting in the middle, do you not want your life?"
Jane slowly raised her head and looked at the man in front of her, reacting for a long time before she realized: "Dr. Fraser, how are you here?"
"I should ask you, what are you doing, do you think your life is too tough?"
Jamie Fraser glared at her angrily: "Get up, come with me!"
He reached out to grab her hand, the accidental touch made Jane cry out in pain, Jamie Fraser quickly retracted his hand, as a doctor, Jamie Fraser immediately noticed her condition, the face full of anger became even gloomier, "Did that bastard Edward Cullen do it?"
Although it was a question, he was clear in his heart.
Jane didnt respond, just silent.
A trace of gloom flashed through Jamie Frasers eyes, then he bent over and carefully
picked up Jane Eyre.
Since that kidnapping incident, she was saved, and Jamie Fraser has always been her attending doctor, and he is also the person who brings her courage in her dark, deep and invisible life.
"About that matter, are you sure you dont want me to get involved?"
