Carl Edwards looked mournful, as if Jane would die soon.
Alice Garcia chimed in, "Yeah, Jane, you have throat cancer. It's a difficult disease to treat. No wonder you've been coughing and even coughed up blood before. You've been suffering alone, and we feel for you."
Elizabeth gently rubbed Jane's shoulder and said, "Jane, family is your support. You've gone through such a big ordeal, and it's not right that you didn't tell us. Even your dad and I didn't notice you coughing and coughing up blood."
"We've discussed it carefully and hope you'll go to the United States for treatment. We'll contact the experts there, and you don't have to worry about the cost. And Jack, we'll take care of him for you too."
Elizabeth laid out their plan.
Jane's heart sank as she listened, and her eyes swept over to Carl Edwards. Wasn't it he who had suggested she go to the United States for treatment last time? And what happened? She was falsely accused and nearly unable to return to the country.
This time, was he playing the same game?
She composed herself, put on a smile, and leaned her head on Elizabeth's shoulder. "Mom, Dad, you said family is my support. I don't want to leave you. If it's my fate to die, I'd rather live each day happily with your love. I don't want to lie in a hospital bed waiting for my hair to fall out and becoming bald. I've made up my mind, please don't say anything more."
Elizabeth looked at Franklin Garcia, whose eyes were full of emotion. He remained silent for a while, seemingly acquiescing to Jane's decision.
"Mom..." Jack came to Jane with red eyes. Jane held his hand and led him back to the room, with Aunt Xia following behind.
As soon as they entered the room, Jack and Aunt Xia burst into tears, especially Jack. He held onto Jane tightly, murmuring that he didn't want his mom to die. Jane felt heartbroken, "Jack, don't cry. Look, isn't Mom okay now?"
But Jack didn't seem to hear her and held on tightly.
Aunt Xia wiped her tears, "Miss, your fate is really tough. Your parents were taken away by an outsider, and now you have this illness..."
Jane could only persuade them both with a heavy heart.
...
Alice Garcia brought Carl Edwards to the courtyard, and they couldn't help but smile at each other.
"I think my plan is clever. If Jane is forced to go to the United States, we can use the same strategy to keep her from ever coming back. If she stays, everyone will know she has throat cancer. Even if she coughs up blood, everyone will think it's normal, and Jane herself will too. This is the groundwork before I administer the poison," Alice said.
Carl Edwards gave her a thumbs up, "Laying the groundwork first won't raise any suspicion."
Alice Garcia smiled, a hint of cruelty in her eyes, "Who made her so annoying all the time? She's been poisoned, and she definitely can't have children anymore, haha."
Carl Edwards turned and looked at Jane's door. If it weren't for Jane being his agent, he, as someone from a humble background, probably wouldn't have been able to enter the wealthy family's home in this lifetime.
"When she discovers the poison, it may be too late..." he muttered.
Alice Garcia noticed his strange expression and leaned in close to him, laughing low and flirtatiously, "I know what you're thinking, just like Mr. Green, you want to have your way with her, don't you?"
