FULL NOVELXO Chapter 223 Bad News!
"I think we need to tell Jane the truth."
Pearl opposed cheating Jane. Jane had to prepare for this.
"Jane, I'm sorry for lying. It hasn't been three months," Robert said dejectedly.
Because Pearl was crying, Robert was afraid. Therefore, he deliberately said there were three months of rest.
"One month is enough. During this month, we can do many things."
Pearl said that to comfort Jane.
"Not even a month."
Robert shook his head. Even a month was a lie.
Pearl's expression suddenly changed, and she asked with a pale face, "What do you mean?"
"Not a month, only a few days or even shorter."
Charlee had begun to have symptoms of unconsciousness, and it was a death signal.
Robert apologized. He did lie, even though it was a white lie.
Pearl's heart sank. She held back her tears and glanced at Jane. She was so sad even though she was just a fan of respect for her idol. As Charlee's daughter, Jane must be much sorrowful about it.
Jane sat on a chair and forced herself to calm down.
After hearing a series of bad news, she couldn't take it and didn't have time to accept it.
Jane snapped out of her daze and dialed William's phone number.
"Hello, the phone you have dialed has been turned off..."
William's phone turned off again.
Recently, he was inspecting the projects of the underwater hotel and rarely came back. So he was usually in a state of disappearance.
His family knew he was busy and protected Jane even more.
Unknowingly, it was already dark.
Pearl asked the housekeeper to bring the food and put it on the table, seeing that Jane was still in a daze.
"Janie, How about eating something?"
"William isn't here, so you should take care of yourself. Don't let him worry about you," Pearl couldn't help but worry about Jane.
"I know."
Jane nodded. Her mood was very complicated right now. It was sure that she was sad, but disbelief instead of this sadness. 'What should she do if her biological father's life could not last even a month?'
Jane did not know.
She asked Vance to take Dayton over here.
"Mommy, are you sick?"
Dayton carried his small bag and quickly threw himself into Jane's arms. When he was in front of Jane, he stopped urgently. 'Mommy was pregnant. Dayton knew he couldn't hit Mommy's belly.
"Mommy's OK."
Jane did not know how to explain it to Dayton.
"Mommy, you mean I have a grandfather?"
Dayton stood outside the sterile room and looked at the person lying inside, blinking curiously.
'But great-grandpa Colin told him that his grandfather and grandmother were long gone. Where did the grandfather come from?'
"Yes, it is your grandfather."
The process was too complicated. Jane didn't know where to start, and she didn't know if Dayton could understand. She made a long story short. "Mommy, I understand."
Dayton blinked curiously. It turned out that he had a grandfather. It was just that his grandfather had been abroad for so many years and had only just returned.
Charlee passed away faster than everyone had imagined. He had been unconscious for 72 hours, and when he was finally awake, he saw Dayton and the Duncans. Colin had come, too. Charlee stopped breathing after he met them and left his will.
Jane felt a little uncomfortable. She felt that Charlee was still a little regretful that he did not see William and listened to his promise to be good to her.
"Janie, it's life. There are many things you can not expect."
Colin instantly seemed to age ten years, and he almost couldn't straighten his back as he walked.
Just as Jane was about to arrange the funeral, even worse news was waiting for her.
During the process of William taking the helicopter to Swift Island, something went wrong with the plane, and now he disappeared with the plane.
Although it wasn't on the news, the news had already spread among the celebrities.
After that, the people who cooperated with the Duncan Group immediately found a way to cut off the cooperation that made the Duncan Group suffer an amount loss for a while. "Madam, please eat some food."
When the news spread out, the Duncans were in a state of panic. Lainey had stayed up for a few nights and had dark circles under her eyes. She still had to take care of Jane. This piece of news was unexpected.
The Duncans did not believe it, but none of them could contact William.
"Put it there, Lainey. I'll eat it later."
Jane rubbed her forehead, and there were butterflies in her stomach.
She did not believe that William had gone missing because he had told her that if she heard the bad news, she must not be panic.
Even though William had said this before, Jane almost fainted when she heard the news. How could she not be worried?
Charlee had just died, and then she had received news that her husband had gone missing. There was now an overwhelming amount of gossip on the Internet, and there was even a post to calculate William's survival rate.
It was said that the marine salvage had already begun, but there was no new information at all.
No news was not good news.
Jane held back and drank a big bowl of chicken soup.
She must calm down and be optimistic about these sufferings.
The employees of her company were worried about her. Elyse and Jessica came to see her several times.
Fortunately, because of the naming right of the competition for Great Dancers, her company's popularity was booming, and the business was prosperous.
"Lainey, go rest."
Jane wanted to persuade Lainey in turn, telling her not to be too worried about what happened.
"Madam, I can't sleep. I'm worried about Sir. There's no news now. The Duncan Group is in a mess."
After receiving the news, Colin was in charge of the company and had not returned for two days. He had just been in operation not long ago, and Jane was afraid that he would not be able to hold on. "Let Vance visit Grandpa Colin later."
Jane took a deep breath. She knew she needed to be tough to stabilize the current situation.
Now, the baby in her belly was all her hope, and she believed William would be fine.
On the day of Charlee's funeral, it rained.
Jane held the black umbrella, and Pearl and Robert accompanied her to offer condolences.
Charlee's last wish was not to reveal the relationship between Jane and him, nor did he want his past to unveil in public.
Whether it was right or wrong, it was the past.
At the funeral, there was a group of stars that appeared to honor Charlee as Jane did.
"Jane, are you alright? If you're not feeling well, please let me know."
Robert was worried. He was afraid that Jane would not be able to hold on. There were too many unforeseen events.
"I'm fine."
Jane's expression was indifferent as she replied mechanically.
Randy walked in front of the crowd, delivering flowers to the cemetery. He was dressed in black and had a solemn expression.
"Jane, can I have a word with you? It's about Charlee."
Randy called Jane formally, and his expression was serious.
Hearing that, Robert immediately looked like he was guarding against thieves. On the contrary, Pearl let go of Jane's arm.
At least, on the day of the fire, Randy helped save people. And he was Charlee's good friend.
