Chapter 871
They had never neglected Jane in terms of basic needs, such as food or clothes. But whenever her parents looked at the four pairs of twins, they had always called them 'babies' and told them how beautiful and good-looking they were. However, when they looked at Jane, it was almost as though they were looking at a stranger. She never received a word of compliment from them. Sometimes, Jane would cling onto her father's feet and look up at the man with hope, hoping that he would pick her up, carry her in his arms and kiss her. But her father had only responded impatiently with, "Go play on your own!"Jane would often hide at the corner by herself and watch her siblings. Every one of them had a partner who wore the same clothes as one another. They were all beautiful and cheerful, asking for attention from their parents whenever they felt like it. Jane couldn't be more envious. Night after night, she would cry until her pillow was soaked in tears. In order to earn her parents' love, Jane

Jane froze. "Mom, what...what are you talking about?"Her mother looked at her lovingly. "Our Jane really has grown up. Look at these beautiful dark braids and plump breasts. You have grown taller, too. Your face is a bit too small and thin, but that's just about right. Jane, my darling, you are all grown up now and it's time for you to get married. Mummy has asked someone to find you a good match and your husband-to-be comes from a wealthy family who owns millions of dollars worth of properties. They are quite the celebrity here in this town so you will surely live happily ever after if you marry him.""Mom, I don't want to get married," she said, shaking her head frantically. "I am studying on my own for the test, one year from now and I should be able to go into university. I don't need you to pay for my tuition, Mom. I can work part-time jobs while studying. Mom, please don't marry me off, I don't want to marry. My eldest sisters and brothers, none of them are married yet, how is i

Her father-in-law and mother-in-law cursed at Jane in utter contempt for causing the death of their oldest sons. On the other hand, Ben's devious eyes scanned his sister-in-law from head to toe before he went to his parents and proposed to marry Jane. Naturally, his parents agreed. They bought this woman so there was nothing wrong about making the most of it! Though Ben was disabled, deep down he was a vicious beast who tortured Jane mercilessly. Jane, who had been imprisoned in the basement for almost five years at that point had already grown numb. The Madden Family eventually decided to let her out of the basement to marry Ben, seeing that she remained silent as though she had lost her mind most of the time. However, Ben's never-ceasing violence continued, beating Jane to the brink of death every single time. She never cried or begged for mercy. All she wanted was to die. Such days went by until the year she turned twenty-six.The cranes owned by Ben's family went into accidents and

Jane was seeing stars from all the beating she took before that, but immediately reacted by hanging onto Alex's leg. "Hel-help me, please help me. Take me away, I'll do anything, take me away, please?"Alex was dressed in a navy green uniform with a cloak thrown over it at the time. His majestic and righteous image instantly reassured her. Ben dared not utter a word and froze at the spot five meters away from them. Ben sat on the ground and crawled backward in fear that Alex might kick him to death the next instant. By then, Alex had squatted down. His splendid navy green cloak piled onto the ground, but he paid no mind to it getting dirty. He simply stared steadily at Jane, who was curling up on the floor with blood still streaming from the corner of her mouth. Still, she clung onto him with both of her arms."Help me...I can be your maid, I can do the hardest chores, all I ask is to be fed. Help me, please don't let me die, please?" She gazed desperately at Alex, but he remained sile

"She has suffered from long-term malnutrition. Her skin is pale and because of malnutrition and lack of exposure to sunlight, her bones are actually underdeveloped, about five years younger than her actual age. Her skin was pale and tender to the touch, but there were multiple injuries on her body. I suspect that she has been abused for years,” said the doctor. Alex paused for a moment before lowering his voice. "Just fix her, we will talk about the rest once she heals.""Understood!" The doctor responded hurriedly.Jane remained under medical care in the hospital for an entire week and all costs were covered by Alex. The medical charge itself was not much, considering that most of her injuries were minor. However, Alex had to spend a ton on supplements. He also took the time to look into Jane's past for the past week. It was hard for him to believe that something like this could happen in the modern world.Jane smiled sadly from her sick bed. "The world is huge and filled with wonder

A week after Alex had rescued Jane, he made her his in the hospital. The entire hospital knew that Jane was sent there by Alex and assumed that she was his. The doctors who worked there all had mixed feelings about the discovery. Female doctors and nurses who were still young and single couldn't help but feel bitter about it. After all, Alex Poole was the symbol of majestic power at a very young age in Kidon City. There were as many women in Kidon City who wanted to marry Alex as women in South City who dreamt of marrying Sebastian. And now, they had to watch him spend countless nights with the patient in her room. The way he carried her into the bathroom to wash up and how a blush appeared on the woman's pale face that was just as small as her palms. They even had to listen to her calling Alex 'hubby'. That was the story of how Jane was taken away in Alex's car to his home, all the while being the target of jealousy from many female doctors, nurses and even patients.All the servants

"Yes," she replied, tears welling in her eyes. "They took me for a paternity test."Alex listened to her silently."When we got older," Jane continued, as though she couldn't stop after starting to talk about the past, "there were more and more things that they had to spend on. My parents' business was just not making ends meet, so they sold the flat in order to send my siblings to school, but not me. I had to follow them back to their homeland, and they sold me off to a fool for two millions! I was imprisoned for four whole years. Four years without so much as seeing the sun. Do you know why I'm this pale? It's not like I'm this way because I did a lot of skincare, it's because I lived in the basement for four years without coming out at all. I cried, I shouted, but no one wanted to help because they think that we are legally married. Do you know how hopeless I felt? The fool died after that, but then that cripple brought me back to Kidon City. He gambled away all our money. That day

Jane truly was happy, extremely happy. The night that Alex took her back to his house, she cried into her blankets until it was soaked in tears. No one had ever treated her like a human-being since she was born. She didn't understand why her parents would bring her to this world. Why give birth to her if they weren't going to love her? She tried protesting against the injustice and argued with her parents, asking them why they didn't love her. But they always had more excuses and reasons.Her father would say, "Jane, we gave you life and fed you. Not only are you not appreciative of us, but you want to fight for attention? Your mother and I are not petty people, so why would we have a child like you?""All my brothers and sisters have their own rooms? Why am I the only one sleeping out here like a dog?" she asked in tears."Your brothers and sisters are twins, what about you?"Her mother added, "Your siblings are much sweeter when they call us and would never complain like you do!
