Convenient Marriage: Mr. Nelson's Love Trap -
Chapter 228 The Final Meeting
After the operation, Jolene was still in a coma for two days. Her first words were, "How's the kid? Was he hurt?"
It might be because she slept for too long, her voice was dry and dumb.
Jayden held her hand, said, "Nope, you had protected him, he is fine."
Jolene was relieved. She looked at the ceiling, "Luckily he is not hurt, otherwise, I feel sorry for you."
She did not mention Victoria. She was worried that she will spoil Jayden's mood.
Jayden lowered his eyes. He knew what Jolene was trying to avoid discussing. He produced a forced smile, "I have never been so clumsy in my life..."
"It's all my bad."
Jolene knew that she caused the incident, "I am too selfish, always thinking about myself and always ignore you."
"Nope, you are not wrong. It's all destiny."
He patted her hand, "Don't think too much, you shall rest more."
"I talked with my brother, he said he didn't catch anyone..."
"Don't mention the issue anymore, just leave it there. If you wish to leave, we can divorce after you recover..."
"I don't want to divorce. I want to protect you and the baby." Jolene held Jayden's hand, "The baby must have a mother..." Dolores cried when she heard their conversation.
Her body was like being injected with 100-degree-celsius water, rolling non-stop.
She did not know how to judge who was the one who made mistakes. Everyone had their own opinion and own difficulty.
"Then?"
Victoria said that calmly. It was as though she never participated in the story.
"Jolene's leg was hurt, she cannot walk..."
"Isn't the doctor saying that she can walk after adding the steel?"
"Yea, it was supposed to be like that. However, after the operation then only he realized Jolene's nerve was hurt. It might be because her leg was clamped for too long time. She still cannot walk after adding the steel. Therefore, Jeffery doesn't wish Jolene to be separated from Jayden. He imprisoned me and Nathan as everyone knows that we were a couple before. He would like to make an illusion that we elope and no one realizes it."
"Then..."
It was many years later. Matthew was six years old now. Jolene accidentally heard Terrell's and Jeffery's conversation. Then only she knew that Victoria was imprisoned.
It might be because of this incident, Victoria's body was hurt. At that time when she was caught by Jeffery, she had just given birth to Matthew. Due to being imprisoned in the cold, damp place, she could not pregnant anymore.
Jolene did not expect Jeffery to lie to her, and her dad knew this matter too. She straight away opened the door, asked in anger, "Why can you do that?!"
She was extremely angry!
"Jolene, why are you here?" Jeffery stood up and looked at his sister, "We did all these things for your good sake..."
Jolene screamed like crazy, "Why can you violate the law just by giving this reason? Who permits you to grab one's freedom?!"
"You need to stay calm." Jeffery pulled his face, "Aren't all these years peaceful? You have been in a good relationship with Jayden. That's good enough. What are you unsatisfied with? It's all because of you that I risked my job."
Jolene looked at Jeffery blankly and sobbed, "Please let her go."
Jeffery frowned, "You need to pretend that you don't know anything. Just go back and live a happy life with Jayden."
"How can I pretend to know nothing?" Jolene's eyes were blurred by her tears. She moved her body and jumped up from the wheelchair. Pang! She knelt.
"You are mad." Jeffery raised her up, "Do you want to be amputated?!"
Jolene's behaviour had made Jeffery mad. Jolene had lost her walking capability. Now she even hurt herself for a stranger?
"I don't bother. If you don't release them, I will stay kneeling even if I die!" Jolene was determined. Jeffery could not do anything.
Jeffery squatted in front of Jolene, "Why do you want to save the woman, don't you worry she will destroy your relationship with Jayden?"
Jolene looked at him, "I must save her. It is because she is the one I give to Jayden. This is because I still love Stanley, so..."
"So, you simply give Jayden a woman?" Jeffery had a lot of expressions on his face, very funny expressions. He did not know how he should treat Jolene for that time being.
"Just release them," Terrell said these words after a long time. It had been after so many years, he believed that Jolene loved Jayden and Jayden loved Jolene now. Even though he released the woman, she would not be a threat to them.
Moreover, their child was growing well now, it was impossible for Jayden to divorce with Jolene.
However, Terrell did not know that the child did not belong to Jolene.
Finally, Jeffery obeyed his dad by telling the place where he imprisoned Victoria to Jolene.
"How do you survive all these years?" Dolores held Victoria's cold hand.
She could feel Victoria's tremble.
"I don't know. It had been a tough time for me. I faced with walls every day. I got mental problem once, couldn't recognize people..."
It had been after so many years, Jayden saw Victoria in a basement storeroom. Her hair was dishevelled as she had never tidied up her hair for a long time. Her hair was as dry as hay; her eyes were blank; she was very thin. She sat in the corner. Even though the door was opened, she did not show any reaction as she knew that she could not go out.
Standing in front of the basement door, Jolene told Jayden, "She does not elope with Nathan. My brother has imprisoned them. He threatened her using Nathan's life. All these years, she is here." Jayden could not hear the sound that surrounded him anymore. He could just hear that Victoria did not elope with Nathan but instead was being imprisoned here.
Nathan was released by Jolene too.
Jeffery did not keep both of them together.
Jayden's leg was like being tied with lead. Every step was so heavy. He could not recognize Victoria anymore. He could not recognize the woman who was so strong back in those days. She was like a puppet without a soul.
Besides knowing how to breathe, she did not have any thoughts anymore.
Victoria hid in the corner when she realized someone was coming.
Jayden knelt in front of Victoria and stretched his hands to push the hair that obstructed Victoria's face away. Victoria was scared. Her body was trembling and then she pushed Jayden, "Don't touch me." Jayden was pushed but he did not change his pose. He said with a low tone, "It's me."
Victoria looked at him blankly. After a long time, Jayden's face started to appear in her mind. She recognised him. Then, two row of tears started to roll down.
Jayden hugged her, "I will bring you out."
"When I was brought out, my mind was messy, I forget many things. I recover after one year. The last time when we met, she apologized to me. After that, we never meet and then later there is news saying that she is pregnant. Later on, she passed away."
"Matthew has a sibling with the same father and different mother?" Dolores felt that Jolene's child was Jayden's child.
"Nope, Jayden said the child is not his. I think he belongs to the man that Jolene has waited for long."
Victoria looked at Dolores, stretched her hands to touch her face, "After she died, I marry Jayden. Matthew always feels sad about this. When I was imprisoned, Jolene helped him a lot. Even until now, he is not willing to accept my existence."
"Why don't you tell him the truth?" Dolores felt ill. She thought Matthew should know the truth. It was sad for him to not know his biological mother.
If he knew Victoria was his biological mother, how would he respond to the indifference that he had treated her?☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
