Chapter 269 You Are Ms. Doyle's Family

Jane shook violently, and so was her heart. She parted her lips but couldn't utter a word.

She had never expected Louis to ask her to do it. It was a live being. How could she have the heart to do so?

Although Stefan used to hurt Martha, he regretted it and saved her life. So, Jane couldn't find a reason to kill him.

After hesitating for a long time, Jane knelt to Louis with a sharp pang in her heart.

"I'm sorry, sir, but I can't do it."

Jane had been working for Martha for four years after Louis let her become Martha's assistant.

She could tell Martha still cared about Stefan. How could she have the heart to make Martha suffer again?

Louis looked at her sullenly and snapped, "Give me a reason."

Jane clenched her fists tightly, plucked herself up, and answered, "Sir, you are Ms. Doyle's family. If you kill Stefan now, after she learns the truth, she'll hate you... You came here to protect her and Jimmy and didn't want her to be hurt anymore. Yet the thing you're doing now will hurt her."

Louis squinted at her with a stern face. This was the first time Jane had disobeyed his order, all because of Stefan, the damned bastard.

Scowling at Jane, he retorted, "He deserves it! He married Martha but hurt her deeply. He dumped her. He even doesn't deserve to be a human."

Jane parted her lips and wanted to argue with him. Yet she didn't know how.

Louis didn't exaggerate.

But Stefan risked his life to save Martha, so Jane didn't think he deserved to die in this way.

Suddenly, they heard someone trotting towards the ICU hurriedly. Louis frowned. Without hesitation, he dragged Jane up and dodged into a lounge next to the ICU. Martha appeared at the ICU. Staring at Stefan, she breathed a sigh of relief.

Recalling what she had seen in the jail earlier, she had a lingering fear.

An indescribable feeling surged in her chest.

She smelt something fishy in the matters of Hollie and Libby.

Her hunch told her a big conspiracy was behind those incidents.

Unfortunately, she didn't know what it was.

Martha didn't calm down until a while later. Then she looked over at the bench in the corridor and didn't see anyone, wondering where Jane had gone.

Martha didn't overthink it. She rested for a few minutes, put on protective suit, and entered the ICU.

Stefan lay on the bed quietly. He was on a drip. The ECG monitor showed his steady heartbeat, proving he was still alive.

Martha seemed to be burned out, sitting on the bed edge.

"Stefan, I believe someone must be helping Hollie secretly. I thought she had caused my mother's death, but she told me she was just a pawn. Yet she'd rather die than tell me who is behind it. She's been sentenced to death. How could she have escaped from jail? The guy behind her should be a bigwig."

Martha gazed at Stefan and continued, "I went to see Libby in the jail tonight, but she had been poisoned and died. Everything is too weird. I'm scared. I wonder who the heck is behind them and why that person is doing this to me."

While she spoke, her eyes dimmed. "Stefan, if you cannot wake up anymore... I'm terrified. I can't confront those things myself. Please live on and recover soon. Jimmy is waiting for you."

She broke off and closed her eyes. Things happening earlier today appeared in her mind.

Firstly, Hollie drove crazily to hit her and Jimmy and planned to end their lives.

Then Hollie told her that it was someone else behind her mother's death. Hollie admitted she was just an accomplice.

In the end, Libby died miserably in jail.

Everything scared Martha. She was afraid of the power and conspiracies behind all those things.

In the ICU, Martha was overwhelmed by the disinfectant's pungent smell. She shuddered visibly.

Leaning against the bed, she muttered, "I'm so scared. I don't want to lose anyone I love and care about."

She also feared she couldn't protect those she wished to shelter.

Martha also murmured some other things. Finally, she was too exhausted and fell asleep.

Jane and Louis heard all her words while hiding in the lounge. Staring at her, Louis looked solemn.

He had to admit Jane was correct, as he could tell Martha still cared about Stefan.

Earlier, he thought she hated Stefan. It turned out that she couldn't treat him coldly after Stefan risked his life to save her.

Louis frowned in displeasure, and the temperature around him dropped abruptly.

Stefan couldn't die under such a circumstance.

Although Louis truly wanted to kill this man who had brutally hurt Martha before, he was also afraid Martha would hate him if she learned it later. Thus, Louis gave up his idea to end Stefan's life for the time being.
