Chapter 230
“Is it interesting? Just ask Jane, when she married Drake, he also despised her, but now, look at this… Drake gave up everything for her, even me,”
“So, I must marry Drake!” Annie said firmly.
Hearing her words, Courtney’s eyebrows subtly furrowed.
“You have such ambitious desires. I think you’re not after Drake, but after the Warner family’s wealth.”
“Hmph, say whatever you want. Anyway, I won’t leave Drake,” Annie coldly snorted and turned her head.
Seeing Annie’s unyielding attitude, Courtney suppressed her anger and changed the subject.
“Are you willing to make a bet with me? If Drake has you in his heart, I will agree to let you enter the Warner family and even promise you a grand wedding. But if he doesn’t have you in his heart, you will stay away from him.”
Upon hearing this, Annie hesitated. If she could get Courtney’s approval, it would be much easier for her to enter the Warner family. But….
If it were in the past, she would have readily agreed. But now, she couldn’t be sure of Drake’s thoughts and whether he still had her in his heart.
“Hmph, why should I agree to you?” Although her heart was moved, Annie pretended to be disdainful.
“Because without my approval, even if you cling to Drake, you won’t have any status. If you provoke me, I will kick both you and Drake out. So, it’s better for you to comply with my wishes, or things might not work out as you hope.” Courtney said nonchalantly.
Upon hearing this, Annie remembered the existence of her two small grandsons. Whether it was Zach or Zane, they were both intelligent children. If Drake was driven out of the family, what use would it be for her to marry him?
With these thoughts in mind, Annie could only grit her teeth and agree to Courtney’s request.
Seeing Annie’s agreement, Courtney sneered and left the ward.
At Courtney’s request, Jane arrived at a mountain village in the black market the next day.
Courtney’s instructions were simple: she asked Jane to come here and pick up a wild ginseng collected by the villagers, then stay here for a few days.
After arriving at the mountain village, Jane followed Courtney’s instructions and bought the wild ginseng. Then she settled down in the village, waiting for Courtney’s further arrangements.
The next day, Jane looked at the snow–covered mountain village and felt refreshed. Seeing villagers heading up the mountain at the entrance, she couldn’t help but follow them, wanting to relax.
However, after reaching the mountain, Jane got separated from the villagers. Helplessly, she had to retrace her steps going back the way she came.
But suddenly, heavy snow started falling, covering the path she had taken.
Jane lost her direction and started wandering around the mountain for a long time without finding a way out. She could only wait for the villagers to realize she was missing and send help.

When Drake learned about Jane’s accident, two days had already passed. He was with Annie for a
check–up when Courtney hurriedly called him to inform him of Jane’s situation.
Drake was puzzled when he received Courtney’s call, but after hearing her words, he immediately got up to leave.
“Drake…” Seeing Drake about to leave, Annie anxiously called out to him.
But Drake didn’t even look at her and directly told Dr. Harrington, who was conducting the check–up, “Have someone take her back to the ward later. I have something to attend to.”
“Wait…” Dr. Harrington followed him out and asked about the situation.
“Jane had an accident,” Drake said and hurriedly left.
Annie heard Drake’s words clearly.
She’d heard that Drake was concerned about Jane’s incident and rushed over, feeling resentful.
Was she going to lose? That thought couldn’t help but surface in Annie’s mind.
Drake, after getting a clear understanding of Jane’s situation, rushed to the airport and bought a ticket to the black market.
As soon as he arrived at the airport, his phone rang. He took it out and saw that it was a call from Annie. Busy with security checks, he simply hung up.
Annie held the phone, looking at the call that Drake had hung up, her face darkened. She dialed again, but this time, she heard the sound of the phone being turned off, instantly making her face terrifyingly gloomy.
With a bang, she threw the phone, shattering it into pieces. Mildred happened to witness this scene as she entered and quickly approached to console her.
“What’s wrong again? Where’s Drake?” Mildred asked.
Upon hearing Drake’s name, Annie’s expression became even more unpleasant.
“He left!”
Hearing this, Mildred was stunned and asked in confusion, “He left? Where did he go? Weren’t you supposed to keep him around so that you could develop your relationship?”
As Mildred spoke, Annie’s face darkened, and she angrily shouted in a low voice.
“Do you think I don’t know that? But he went to find Jane, and I couldn’t stop him.”
“Then call him and threaten him with your life. Can he really ignore your life and death?” Mildred anxiously suggested.
As soon as the topic of making a phone call came up, Annie’s face became even darker. She coldly looked at the shattered phone on the ground, and Mildred, seeing this, understood.
“It’s okay, Mom will find a solution for you,” Mildred could only console her.
But at that moment, it wasn’t Annie who answered Mildred, but Dr. Harrington’s cold voice at the
door.
“You’re wasting your efforts. Drake won’t choose you. Not to mention that the person he cares about is Jane, even if she didn’t have his three children, you still would have lost.”

“I don’t need to remind you, you are a person who can’t bear children.” Dr. Harrington’s words
completely infuriated Annie. She roared at him at the door.
“Get lost! I don’t want to hear those words from you.”
“You don’t want to hear it?. It’s an unchangeable fact. By the way, your leg examination report is out. There’s no major problem as long as you rest well,” Dr. Harrington said and turned to leave without even looking at Annie.
Drake arrived in the black market as quickly as possible and then went to the mountain village where Jane was. Accompanying Jane was a middle–aged man arranged by Courtney.
After the villagers who went up the mountain with Jane didn’t return with her in tow, the man informed Courtney that something had happened to Jane and then called for a rescue team.
When Drake arrived at the mountain village, a search and rescue team had just returned from the mountain. He immediately approached them to inquire about the search, only to be told that they hadn’t found her yet.
Upon hearing this, his expression became even more grim. He was about to go up the mountain to search when the rescue team stopped him.
“Sir, you can’t go up now. It’s almost dark, and the mountain is dangerous. Moreover, it’s going to snow heavily tonight. The mountain is already closed due to heavy snow, and it will be even more dangerous if it snows again.”
“Move aside!” Drake’s voice was low and heavy, colder than the snow in December.
