CHAPTER 618 WHO'S IN CHARGE IN JIANGBEI?
The woman was cursing harder and harder, but no one paid attention to her. Everyone's attention was on Janell, worried about her injuries.
Having been completely ignored, the woman's dissatisfaction completely exploded. She madly rushed over and grabbed the doctor, "My son is also injured, why don't you treat his wound?"
When she was pulling the doctor, the doctor was holding Janell's wound with a pair of pincers. The doctor was unable to control his strength when the woman suddenly touched him. The pincer forcibly removed a piece of flesh from Janell's wound.
Janell tried her best not to make her mother sad, but she was in pain. Moreover, she tore off another piece of flesh from her injured wound, causing her face to turn pale from the pain.
Jane Ronan ignored the woman. All of her attention was on Janell. Now that her daughter was injured in front of her, she couldn't take it anymore. She stood up and slapped the woman without batting an eyelid.
She bit her lips and said angrily: "Gareth, keep an eye on them. If she curses again, rip her out."
The woman got a slap on her face and wanted to rush over to hit Jane Ronan. Gareth quickly restrained her, preventing her from moving even an inch.
He had failed to fulfill his duty earlier because Janell was injured under his watch. Moreover, he didn't even know what happened.
When the bodyguards thought that they might be punished, all of them were terrified and distracted that they didn't notice that the crazy woman was about to pounce onto the doctor.
Hearing Jane Ronan's shout, the bodyguard immediately woke up and controlled the mad woman.
This woman had gone crazy. She had injured their little miss once again, so they had no face to report to their master.
"You guys are so arrogant, do you know exactly who is in charge of Jiangbei? How dare you to disrespect our family. You're really digging your own graves."
Suddenly, an old but still loud voice was heard.
Hearing this voice, the mad woman who had already been at a disadvantage became complacent again, "Get your dirty hands off me, otherwise I'll make you all suffer the consequences."
The person who came was the woman's father. He held an important position in the Jiangbei City Hall, and judging from his demeanor, he should be an important official.
As soon as the woman saw her child hurt, she called her father.
The child was also a treasure that their entire family held in their hands. Without clarifying this matter, they called over the one with the highest status in their family to intimidate others.
"What is going on here?" The middle-aged man looked at the person holding his daughter in anger, and then looked at his grandson crying pitifully.
What he saw was his daughter, grandson, and his useless son-in-law getting bullied. How could he let it go?
As things had progressed to this point, more and more people had been drawn in, and Jane Ronan's side seemed to be at a disadvantage.
However, Jane Ronan still ignored that person. In fact, she didn't even notice that there was someone else. All of her attention was on Janell.
A small piece of flesh was pinched off from Janell's body. It was as if a piece of flesh had been pinched off Jane Ronan's heart, causing her to feel heartache.
Jane Ronan kissed Janell and comforted her gently, "Janell, my darling. Relax a little. Wait until the Doctor is able to treat your wounds, then they won't hurt so much."
"Mommy, it hurts …" Janell's small body, which was in her mother's arms, was twitching in pain.
"Don't be afraid, mommy is here." Jane Ronan hugged Janell tightly. The pain in her heart was no less than that of the little fellow.
The middle-aged man asked to let his daughter go, but Gareth did not care about it at all and continued to control the crazy woman.
The other bodyguard stood in front of Jane Ronan and Janell, not allowing anyone to get close. This time, they had to protect their master well and not let the enemy take advantage of the situation. Otherwise, they wouldn't need to follow their master home.
"Where did all of you come from? You dare to provoke my people? Do you even know who I am?" The middle-aged man's arrogance was even greater than the woman's. That's the proof that an apple doesn't fall far from the tree..
But no matter how he yelled, Gareth still maintained his composure as if he didn't hear him at all. He simply didn't exist.
"Men, tie these people up and send them to Director Chen in the name of obstruction of official duty. Lock them in for a few days, let them know who exactly has the authority in Jiangbei."
Hearing the middle-aged man's order, the bodyguards behind him rushed forward and wanted to attack. However, they were not as powerful as the bodyguards chosen by Edwin Carter to protect Janell.
The two bodyguards beside Janell were carefully selected by Edwin Carter. Their reactions and moves were not something these ordinary bodyguards could handle.
As soon as they rushed up, before they could even make a move, they were kicked back by Janell's two bodyguards. They didn't even see clearly how they made their move before they were beaten to the ground.
The kindergarten principal wanted to talk to the middle-aged man to let him know who they were dealing with, but he had no way of getting close to him, so he did not have the chance to talk.
The middle-aged man's bodyguards were defeated. He shouted angrily, "Go, arrest them! Also, that mother and daughter too, since they humiliated our family. If I don't get them expelled from this kindergarten today, I won't live a day well."
"You won't live well? Well then, you may consider planning for your death now. " A cold voice echoed from the hall. Just this voice alone was enough to intimidate everyone present.
Many people felt their legs go limp when they heard this voice, especially when they saw who it was. The scene instantly became so quiet that even a needle falling onto the ground could be heard.
"Ed …Ed..." The middle-aged man looked at Edwin Carter, who was wearing a white shirt, as he walked over with elegant steps. He was so shocked that he couldn't even utter a complete sentence.
Many people at the scene heard Edwin Carter's voice as if it was a spell. However, his voice sounded like the best sound in the world to Jane Ronan and Janell.
When Jane Ronan heard Edwin Carter's voice, she felt that all her worries eased. There was someone who could protect their child with her.
When Janell heard this voice, she knew it was her most beloved father.
In an instant, she felt that her injuries weren't as painful as they had been before.
There were still tears on her eyelashes, but she smiled sweetly and said, "Dad, I want to hug you."
"Yes baby." Edwin Carter's gaze swept across the crowd and finally landed on Janell and Jane Ronan.
He walked up to them and hugged Jane Ronan then carried Janell into his arms. "Janell, does it hurt?"
CHAPTER 619 DADDY CAME
"Yes it's a little bit painful, but it's not painful anymore since dad is here." No matter how much it hurt, when she saw her father, Janell felt that she had seen her biggest backer.
She would no longer be afraid of anyone bullying her and her mother, because if her father was here, he would definitely beat away the bad guy and protect her and her mother.
In Janell's heart, her father was just like Brother Lucas, a superhero. When the big bad guy saw them, he would be scared away.
"Yes, our Janell is so brave. You don't cry even when you're injured. However, I wanted you to know that you are our precious child. If you're ever been hurt or mistreated, you must not keep it to yourself, and let us know so we can protect you." Edwin Carter kissed Janell's adorable face, "Darling, do you understand now?"
"Yes, yes, yes!" Janell nodded her head vigorously and said sweetly, " I understand."
"Alright, then let's have the Doctor help clean up your wounds first. Once your wounds are healed, Mom and Dad will take you home. This kindergarten injured our Janell, so we won't be coming to this kindergarten ever again. " To Janell and Jane Ronan, it sounded like the most pleasing voice in the world.
However, when he said those words in a gentle manner, the other people beside him were so frightened that their legs were trembling.
Anyone who knew Edwin Carter would understand that if he withdrew Janell from this kindergarten, there wouldn't be a need for this kindergarten existence anymore.
Although this kindergarten was not built specifically for the young miss of the Carter Family, but it had caused the young miss of the Carter Family to be injured here, which meant that it had let down the young miss of the Carter Family.
Hal Barnes, who came with Edwin Carter, looked around. He felt reluctant to part with such a beautiful kindergarten that would soon be razed to the ground.
After looking at the kindergarten, his gaze fell on the arrogant middle-aged man who had already turned into a mute.
This man had been a government official for so many years, how could he make such a stupid mistake?
No wonder after all these years in the politics scene, he remained the deputy director of Jiangbei's Education Bureau. The main director appointed many other people over the years, yet it was never his turn to take the office. It really has something to do with his ignorance.
How did he not realize that anyone who could attend the kindergarten of the military department of Jiangbei, would always be someone with decent status or background?
They made up all this fuss without realizing who they were messing up with. It was truly a pity for this old fellow.
Not only would he not be able to maintain his position for more than 20 years, but his future would most likely be miserable.
Sigh, it's not good for him to mess with people, but he had messed up with the two most precious people in Chairman Carter's heart.
Chairman Carter had gone through a lot of these years. He had to play the role of both father and mother. He had to do all those tasks by himself, from feeding the child and changing diapers and educating the child as she grows up.
All these years, Chairman Carter had held this daughter in his arms and loved her dearly. Whoever messed with her and injured her, would surely seek death.
Look, when the middle-aged man saw Chairman Carter, he was so scared that his legs went limp. From the looks of it, he was probably going to wet his pants.
He probably never thought that the person they have offended would be the head of Shengtian.
Blame it on Chairman Carter for being too low-key. Chairman Carter never let his wife and children appear in front of the public.
During his wife's three years missing, Edwin often appeared in front of the camera. After she came back, he never accepted any more visits.
Therefore, there were still a lot of people who knew him. However, no one really knew Jane Ronan and Janell.
"Chairman Carter …" The middle-aged man was so scared that his legs went limp. He wanted to apologize, but the moment he opened his mouth, he was so scared that he bit his own tongue.
This was exactly the power of Edwin Carter.
Chairman Carter, always seemed to be cold and indifferent. No one had the courage to offend him.
"Deputy Chief River, I will give you two minutes to bring your family out of here." Hal Barnes stood up in time to say something.
People with such status were not qualified to talk to Chairman Carter. Edwin Carter only had his wife and child in his eyes. How could he see or hear others?
"Edwin …" Director Jiang was so scared that his legs went soft. He kneeled on the ground with a thump and kowtowed towards Edwin Carter.
All because he was too ignorant and full of himself..
He knew clearly that there were two mountains in Jiangbei that no one could ever cross, but he had not realized that he should be cautious.
If he had been more careful and checked more before doing anything, he wouldn't have offended someone he shouldn't have.
However, Edwin Carter ignored him because Edwin Carter only saw his wife and child.
Especially since Janell was injured. If it wasn't for his wife and daughter presence, Edwin Carter would have already beaten the one who caused this trouble.
"Janell, the wound is already wrapped, but it will still hurt. Let's be careful with it. Ok?" Edwin Carter's voice was both gentle and pleasant to hear.
The softer his voice was, the more terrifying it sounded to the others.
Because how much he loved his daughter, the more miserable it was for the people who had mistreated her.
"Chairman Carter, I really didn't know they were your family. If I knew …" If he knew, even if he was given 10,000 guts, he wouldn't dare offend Edwin Carter's family.
Before the middle-aged man could finish his words, Edwin Carter got up with Janell in his arms and said gently, "Let's go home."
He led the two of them and left elegantly under the escort of his subordinates, ignoring everyone else from the beginning to the end.
Of course, it wasn't that he didn't want to deal with them, but his men knew what to do.
Outside, a new silver-gray Bentley limousine waited quietly.
After getting in the car, the driver Uncle Watson turned around and asked, "Little miss, what's wrong with you today?"
Uncle Watson worked for Edwin Carter's for a long time. He was like a family to Edwin, that is why he treated Janell as his own biological granddaughter and loved her dearly.
Whatever he found interesting, he would always give it to the little girl as a gift.
Seeing the little guy cuddling up in his father's embrace, Uncle Watson was worried, so he couldn't help but ask.
" Grandpa Watson I am fine." Janell replied in a sensible manner.
"Uncle Watson, can I trouble you to drive to Dreamscape City?" Edwin Carter said.
Dreamscape was the place where Edwin and Jane Ronan stayed as newlyweds. Edwin Carter wanted to go there because she said she wanted to cook for them.
That was the place with a lot of good memories.
In the years that Jane Ronan wasn't here, Edwin Carter often brought Janell here to reminisce about Jane Ronan.
After Jane Ronan had recovered her memories, their family had never stayed here yet. It would be nice if they could reminisce about it today.
CHAPTER 620 LIKE IN THE PAST
Jane Ronan's heart was slightly startled when she heard Edwin Carter mention that they were going back to Dreamscape City. She had this idea in mind, and Edwin Carter had it in mind as well.
Did Edwin Carter want to go to Dreamscape as well, or did he see that she did?
"Jane Ronan, Janell is fine now, don't worry." Edwin Carter put Janell on his lap and rubbed Jane Ronan's head with his free hand.
"Edwin Carter, let's find another person to accompany Janell." Jane Ronan still had lingering fears over what had happened in kindergarten. She was worried that Janell would be bullied by other children in the future.
Although it was normal for children to fight, what if she and Edwin Carter were not with Janell the next time she met a parent like today? What if their Janell was bullied?
Every child was the flesh and blood of their parents, and Jane Ronan wasn't around when Janell was growing up. She felt that she owed Janell too much, and her love for Janell had reached the point that she couldn't bear to see Janell suffer any grievances.
Edwin Carter hugged her and said: "I will take care of this matter, you …"
Before Edwin Carter could finish, Jane Ronan interrupted him and said, "Edwin Carter, I don't want you to handle everything. I want to share the burden with you."
He had often said that she was his wife.
His wife should be someone that he would face challenges with, someone who will be with him through thick and thin, someone who will face the elements together. He should have done everything with her, not treat her like a child.
"Jane Ronan, what's wrong?" When he called Jane Ronan in the afternoon, Edwin Carter knew that something must have happened, so he rushed to the kindergarten after work.
"I-I'm fine."
"Are you alright?"
"If I say it's fine, then it's fine."
Jane Ronan looked out of the window and ignored Edwin Carter.
She tried her best to calm her emotions, hoping that she wouldn't pass on her bad feelings to Edwin Carter.
She didn't want to say more, so Edwin Carter didn't ask any more questions.
On the way to Dreamscape, no one said a word.
"..."
A few years had passed, but their house in Dreamscape was exactly the same as it had been a few years ago.
Inside the hall, the shoe cabinets were neatly filled with the slippers they needed to change into, and the furniture hadn't been moved.
Even the string of bamboo wind chimes on the balcony of the living room was still there. As the breeze blew past, the small and beautiful bells made clear and melodious tinkling sounds when they collided with each other.
Jane Ronan felt the same as when she first entered this place with Edwin Carter. She was a little nervous and a little uneasy.
The only difference was that the person beside her was not only Edwin Carter, but also Janell and her baby in her belly.
A few years wasn't a long time, but it wasn't short either. Sometimes, Jane Ronan would feel like it was just yesterday that she got the certificate from Edwin Carter.
Sometimes, it felt like too much time had passed, until there were two new additions to their family.
"Janell, we're home." Edwin Carter put Janell down and gave her a pair of small and beautiful pink slippers.
Janell loved pink. She looked at the shoes on her feet and said sweetly, "DaddyI like it. Thank you!"
"Woof woof woof …" Furry rushed over upon hearing the voice, and surrounded its little mistress as he ran and jumped. It turned out that it was also sent here.
"Sister, don't scream, sister is here." Janell squatted and caressed Furry's fur lovingly.
She didn't think that her sister would be waiting for her at home. It was a very happy thing to have a sister at home to play with her.
Janell was happy, Edwin Carter could naturally see it, "Janell, you can play with your sister now, but you have to be careful not to touch the wound on your elbow."
"Okay, dad, I would be careful to play with my sister." Janell answered as she and Furry ran to the other side of the living room.
When Janell left, Edwin Carter's gaze fell on Jane Ronan. However, Jane Ronan's gaze followed Janell's movement, not noticing Edwin Carter's gaze at all.
Edwin Carter's gaze had been on her for a while now, but she was still immersed in her own world, silent. Who knew what she was thinking?
"Jane Ronan …" Edwin Carter called to him.
Jane Ronan did not respond.
"Jane Ronan!" Edwin Carter emphasized on his tone.
"Huh?" Jane Ronan came back to her senses and gave him an apologetic smile. "You must be hungry. I'll go cook dinner now."
"What are you thinking?" Edwin Carter asked again.
"Nothing, nothing. No, I was just thinking what to prepare for dinner. Janell has a bruise on her elbow, so we have to watch her diet." Jane Ronan found a random excuse and stammered.
When she turned her head, she was met with Edwin Carter's complicated and deep gaze. It was as if he wanted to see through her at one glance.
Jane Ronan didn't dare to meet his gaze. She shrugged and looked away. She put her bag aside and said, "What do you guys want to eat? I'll go downstairs to the supermarket to buy some food."
"I got someone to prepare the ingredients." After talking with Jane Ronan, Edwin Carter got his people to arrange for the groceries. Not only was the fridge filled with fresh ingredients, he also had Furry brought his people over.
"Then you rest for a while, I'll go cook." Finished speaking, Jane Ronan walked towards the kitchen as if she was escaping. She kept having the feeling that Edwin Carter's eyes could see deep into her heart. She wanted to hide something, but there was no way to hide it.
When Jane Ronan had just entered the kitchen, Edwin Carter also quickly followed her. He said in a low voice, "Let's prepare together."
"No need, I'll do it myself." Just like when they were first married, he asked if she needed his help, and she took over the cooking.
"Alright." Edwin Carter did not insist and left the kitchen to look at Janell who was playing with Furry in the living room.
His eyes were fixed on the little girl, and he thought about how, a few years ago, when he had just gotten married, he hadn't even thought he would have a baby.
Later, when Jane Ronan said she wanted a child, it was all so natural for Jane Ronan to be pregnant. He accepted it naturally and never had any other thoughts.
After a while, Edwin Carter turned around and went into the study room.
In the kitchen, Jane Ronan opened the fridge. Sure enough, the fridge was full of fresh ingredients. Most of them were things she liked to eat or something Janell liked to eat.
Looking at the ingredients in the fridge, Jane Ronan couldn't help but fall into a trance again. Her heart clenched tightly as well.
She really wished that she could live with them for the rest of her life. Every day, she would cook dinner for Janell and Edwin Carter.
How she wished she could see Janell get out of bed every day, send her to study, and pick her up after school.
She wished that she could tie Edwin Carter's tie and send him out to work every morning, waiting for him to come home for dinner.
But such days never seemed to belong to her.
There was always so much trouble in their lives. There was always someone who wanted to separate them.
