Chapter 221
After reviewing the surveillance footage, Drake became even more certain that Mary had realized something was wrong and fled.
Jane was also speechless, looking at Drake coldly, then said “This is what you said I didn’t need to worry about!”
“Don’t worry, I will find a way to get the antidote for you.” Drake reassured her.
Having gathered information about the situation with Charles, Drake already had a general direction to locate the antidote. As long as he continued to investigate the pharmaceutical factory, they were bound to find it.
However, before Drake could take action, the next day, the police came knocking on their door, stating that Charles wanted to see Jane. Upon hearing this, Jane was momentarily stunned and was about to agree.
Not just for the sake of the antidote alone, but she also wanted to check on Charles‘ condition. However, Drake’s face turned cold, and he adamantly refused, forbidding Jane from meeting with Charles
“I’m still going,” Jane said to Drake, determined to see Charles despite his objections
“Why can’t you let go of him?” Drake Warner asked, his jealousy evident in his tone.
“What are you talking about? I just want to check on him, and besides, he saved my life before, didn’t he? Who knows, maybe he has a change of heart and will give me the antidote willingly.” Jane replied.
“Hmph, you are so naive. Do you think the time he saved you from being hit by the car was an accident? That was just a setup orchestrated by him, all to make you regard him as a savior,” Drake retorted coldly revealing the true intentions behind Charles‘ actions.
Jane was even more astonished hearing this, as she had never thought that Charles had planned the incident.
“Alright, I don’t want to dwell on the past. Come with me then, and let’s see what he has to say,” Jane replied, willing to give Charles a chance to explain himself.
Hesitating for a moment, Drake eventually agreed to Jane’s request and accompanied her to the hospital.
After undergoing surgery, Charles finally regained consciousness. The first thing he wanted was to see Jane; otherwise, he wouldn’t cooperate with the interrogation.
Thus, the police had no choice but to find Jane and bring her to him.
Entering the hospital room, Jane’s gaze fell on Charles lying on the hospital bed, his face pale, and his chest wrapped in white gauze, faintly revealing traces of blood.
Immediately his eyes fell on Jane, Charles‘ expression improved slightly. However, as soon as he noticed Drake behind her, his face darkened instantly, and he immediately spoke up,
“Jane, I want to talk to you alone.”
“No way!” Drake cut off Charles‘ words without hesitation, wearing a stern face.
Fearing that the two might start fighting, Jane gave Drake a nudge and said softly, “Wait for me

outside.
Drake was reluctant, but Jane gave him a firm glare, leaving him with no choice but to step out of the
room.
With only the two of them in the room, Jane walked slowly to Charles‘ bedside, looking down at him lying there, and sighed deeply. “Why do you have to do this?”
Hearing her words, Charles‘ gaze fixed on Jane, “I thought by doing this, you would stay with me. But it seems you really have no feelings for me.”
Finishing his sentence, he chuckled, his smile filled with bitterness.
Seeing Charles‘ appearance, Jane couldn’t bear it. She then spoke, “I told you before, forcing love is not worth it.”
“Forget it. In the end, it was destined by the heavens. We were meant to meet but not to be together,” Charles‘ said with a hint of relief in his voice.
Jane felt relieved by his change of attitude and said, “It’s good that you can see it that way.”
“I have nothing else to ask for, just one last wish. Can you hug me?” Charles requested.
Hearing this, Jane hesitated and didn’t immediately agree. The request left her unsure whether to comply.
“Don’t worry. Just treat it as a hug between friends. After you hug me, I’ll give you the antidote, and you’ll be free from then on,” Charles assured her.
Jane’s hesitation wavered at Charles‘ words, as she still needed to be there for her children to grow up healthily. So, she had to live well.
“Okay!” Jane finally agreed to Charles‘ request.
Approaching the bedside, she bent down and gently embraced Charles. It wasn’t a perfunctory hug but a genuine one, full of sincerity.
After the embrace, as Jane stood up, she noticed a glistening tear at the corner of Charles‘ eye.
Leaving the hospital room once again, Jane felt a slight heaviness in her heart. Outside the door, Drake had been waiting for some time. Seeing Jane come out, he immediately approached, showing
concern.
“What did he say to you?” he asked.
Jane shook her head, choosing not to tell Drake about her conversation with Charles.
Not wanting to press Jane further, Drake simply walked into the hospital room. His cold gaze landed on Charles lying on the bed, demanding, “Where’s the antidote?”
Ignoring Drake’s words, Charles closed his eyes, refusing to acknowledge him.
Fuming with anger, especially after knowing Jane had spent a considerable amount of time alone with Charles, Drake took a few steps forward, intending to teach Charles a lesson.
Jane quickly grabbed him, then whispered, “I already know where the antidote is.”
Hearing this, Drake’s furious emotions subsided. He gave Charles another icy glare, then held Jane’s hand as they left the hospital room together.

Once they were in the car, Jane told Drake the location of the antidote. Drake immediately instructed the driver to head there:
After obtaining the antidote, Drake still had doubts about its authenticity. He planned to bring it back and have Dr. Harrington verify it before giving it to Jane.
However, before Drake could act, Jane took the antidote and swallowed it without hesitation.
“Aren’t you afraid he might be deceiving you?” Drake asked in annoyance.
“He won’t,” Jane replied without hesitation.
“How do you know?” Drake raised an eyebrow.
“Just a gut feeling,” Jane answered after some thought.
Yet, her response only fueled Drake’s jealousy. He huffed, realizing that Jane seemed to trust Charles more than she trusted him.
“Let’s go get the kids back,” Jane noticed Drake’s unsettled demeanor and quickly changed the subject.
The two went to the old residence and took the three children with them. Though Courtney felt reluctant, she didn’t say anything.
During this period, she had grown closer to the two children, Zane and Zoe. Though they hadn’t fully accepted her yet, she believed that with time, they would sincerely call her “Grandma.”
When Zane saw Jane, he immediately leaped into her arms, calling out, “Mommy!”
Following that, Zoe and Zachary also came over, and Jane opened her arms, embracing all three children.
