Chapter 12
I instantly broke out in a cold sweat. Miss Lane really has some remarkable skills!
Moreover, Will Jody was decisive and merciless when it came to anyone or anything he didn’t like. That’s why he earned the title “Satan”.
How many women in the past wanted to be in Will Jody’s bed? Yet it was Miss Lane, who seemed ordinary and unremarkable, who got the chance first. Not only did she become Mrs. Jody, but she also managed to make Mr. Jody smile.
It seems that it’s best to please Miss Lane in the future. Who knows, maybe she could speak well of me someday.
Will Jody had no idea what his secretary was thinking. He simply picked up Marina Lane and carried her back to the car.
Will Jody looked at Marina Lane’s pale face and couldn’t help but want to wipe away the tears on her face. But instead, he touched her burning forehead.
Will Jody’s face changed completely!
The secretary drove back to the villa at high speed. The personal doctor was already waiting for Will Jody.
“Mr. Jody?”
The secretary had taken only a few steps outside when Will Jody called out to her again.
The secretary let out a chuckle. When she looked up, she saw Will Jody’s grim expression and quickly turned away.
Will Jody stayed by Marina Rain’s side, watching the slight frown on her face as she slept. His heart felt a little strange.
“Don’t worry, Mr. Jody. Miss Lane is fine. She just got caught in the rain, which caused a slight fever. I’ve given her an IV drip. With a good night’s rest, she’ll be fine!”
“Okay, I understand. But I’m still not completely at ease. I’ve had the guest room prepared for you. You can stay here tonight. If anything happens, I’ll be able to take care of her right away.”
“Yes.”
It seems like the Jody family will soon have a female head of the household.
Looking at Marina Lane’s beautiful face, the rain continued to fall outside the window. From time to time, the sound of thunder startled Marina Lane.
Seeing this, Will Jody took Marina Rain’s hand and gently patted the back of her hand.
As Marina Rain gradually fell into a steady sleep, Will Jody finally took a closer look at her face.
Her delicate eyelashes, like a fan, covered Marina Lane’s eyes. She had a small, delicate nose, cherry-like lips, and a beautifully shaped face. A faint fragrance also emanated from her.
This woman was like a little cat covered in thorns, yet she was also so tenacious that it broke Will Jody’s heart.
Will Jody probably knew something about Marina Lane’s family. Although such things weren’t uncommon among the wealthy, Will Jody still felt sympathy for the woman before him.
The next morning, Marina Lane gradually came to her senses. Looking at the unfamiliar house around her, she remembered that before passing out the previous night, a man had covered her with clothes.
While Marina Rain was lost in her thoughts, she finally noticed Will Jody, who was asleep from exhaustion, lying beside the bed.
It was then that Marina Lane realized that what had happened last night wasn’t just her imagination. Will Jody had indeed found her when she got lost. It seemed like he had spent the entire night taking care of her by her bedside.
This man has an incredibly beautiful face. With a face like that, surely many people must like Will Jody…
While Marina Rain was lost in her thoughts, Will Jody opened his eyes beside the bed.
“Is it pretty? If you like it so much, why not come closer and take a better look?”
Will Jody’s face suddenly appeared in front of her eyes. Marina Rain was completely stunned, staring blankly at Will Jody.
Will Jody has a truly beautiful face. His eyes shine like gems, and his skin is so fair that even girls would envy him. The breath escaping from his nostrils made Marina Rain unable to control herself, causing her face to turn red with embarrassment.
“What’s with that? You were so absorbed in what you were watching just now, and now you’re shy?”
Will Jody’s voice pulled Marina Rain back to reality.
Seeing Marina Lane’s blushing face, Will Jody smiled and got up to leave.
“Which one?”
Marina Lane spoke carefully.
“The clothes on me…”
Will Jody, seeing Marina Rain’s worried expression, wanted to tease her a little.
After saying that, Will Jody leaned against the door, eagerly waiting to see how Marina Lane would react next.
Marina Lane had a red face and stared at Will Jody in disbelief. She then glanced at her own clothes, as if she had just thought of something terrible.
Marina Lane regretted deeply, and grew angrier the more she thought about it, at the possibility that Will Jody might have seen something he shouldn’t have last night.
“You… how can you take advantage of someone in a vulnerable situation! I tell you, this is completely unacceptable!”
Will Jody suddenly stepped forward, grabbed Marina Rain by the chin, looked her in the eyes, and said.
“I’m your legal husband. Is it illegal for me to change my wife’s clothes?”
“But… but…”
Will Jody found it amusing to see Marina Rain in such a panicked state.
Just as Marina Rain hadn’t yet recovered from what had just happened, Will Jody suddenly leaned in and spoke to her again.
Looking at Will Jody’s meaningful smile, Marina Rain couldn’t quite understand the meaning behind his words.
Marina Lane didn’t realize the deeper meaning behind Will Jody’s words until he left the room. She was shocked by what she heard.
Marina Lane buried her head under the blanket and screamed loudly.
“Ahhhhhh…”
The servants standing by were stunned. After all, they had worked for the Jody family for so long. Although the Jody family never treated their servants harshly and paid them several times more than what other wealthy families offered.
