Chapter 237 - Chapter 237

The next two days were busy with everyone getting ready for the engagement party taking place at the Smith mansion. The media and the Internet have been buzzing with news of the engagement. 

Angel and Maria have been busy with the shopping, and Jack is still waiting for the DNA result to determine whether or not Jane is his sister.

Patricia stood in front of the TV and angrily smashed the remote control on the floor. She can not believe this is happening to her. How could Chris have engaged that bitch? All Angel knows how to do is to take all that belongs to her.

"If you think I'm just going to stand by while you marry Chris, then you must be mistaken. Chris is mine and there's nothing you can do about it. He has always and will always be mine." Patricia yelled, her entire body vibrating with anger.

"I'm going to make sure I expose you. Let's see how Chris will marry you then, when he finds out that little girl isn't his. And all of the wrong things you have done in the past you bitch." She screamed and slumped on the floor crying.

She has done and sacrificed a lot of things to get to this point, she won't let anything take that away from her. She will get Chris by all means.

Jane on the other hand was ready to be discharged. She packed her things with the help of Mrs Whitney humming as she got dressed.

"Are you sure you are okay? The news is all over the place. Chris is getting married to that girl, and their engagement ceremony takes places this weekend. Are you just going to do nothing? This is crazy, I don't understand." Mrs Whitney complained.

"It's fine Mrs Whitney, there's nothing to be worried about. You need to trust Chris on this one, he knows what he's doing, he assured me." Jane defended.

"I do trust Chris, but I do not trust that witch and her father. I wonder what is it that's going through their mind or what they are plotting. What if the plan goes wrong and something unexpected happens?" Mrs Whitney asked worried.

"Mrs Whitney, please do not worry yourself. Come on we should finish packing up, Jack will be here to pick us up now." Jane said and Mrs Whitney decided to drop the matter for now.

"Good morning, Mrs Whitney. Good morning, Jane." Jack greeted, and they both turned to exchange greetings.

"Good morning," they both said in unison.

"You are both ready to leave?" He asked and Jane nodded her head. They made way out of the hospital after signing some paperwork and left.

Jack drove them out of the hospital and headed for Chris's apartment at the other side of town. Apart from his father who knows about this place, no one else knows it existed.

It was the apartment he got years back after the incident. He would always come here if he didn't feel like talking to anyone and his guilt was killing him. It was the perfect place to hide for him. 

"Wow! What is this place?" Jane exclaimed in shock. This is a really beautiful place, it's like a mini palace.

"This belongs to the boss, he asked that I bring you both here to stay for a while. The designer and every other team member will be here to attend to you like planned." Jack explained, and she nodded her head in understanding.

"This is just perfect, I can't wait for all of these to be over so I can return home where I belong." Jane said with so much confidence, and Mrs Whitney smiled at her impressed by her confidence.

"Excuse me," Jack said hearing his phone ring. He walked away from the both of them so he could speak. He checked and it was the lab where the DNA test is taking place.

"Good morning, tell me you have good news for me." He said.

"Well it depends on what you want to hear Mr Jack. But the test result is out and you and the DNA matched. It's a 99.9% match which means you are both immediate siblings. She's your sister Mr Jack, a copy of the test result have been sent to your email. You can visit the hospital for the hard copy." The doctor said but Jack was no longer hearing a thing.

His mind raced as he felt numb inside. Tears trickled down his face and his sight turned blur. He turned and he caught sight of Jane speaking with Mrs Whitney. Whatever they were saying must be interesting because she's laughing.

He felt warm deep inside and a wave of emotions rushed through him. Anger, excitement, guilt, sadness, gratitude. Everything was hammering him, more tears dropped and he could not control himself.

"My sister!" He muttered silently and dragged his feet towards Jane. He stopped in front of her and stared at her with so much intensity and affection in his eyes.

"Mr Jack are you okay? Is anything the problem? You seem disoriented." Jane observed, but before she could say another word. Jack arms swallowed her and she was enveloped in his embrace.

"Mr Jack!" Jane was shocked.

"I found you! I finally found you" Jack whispered, his voice cracked into tears. He could not bring himself to stop. He shouldn't be doing this, but he can't help himself.

"Found?" Jane was even more shocked, and Mrs Whitney stood there in confusion. What the hell did he meant by that? Her eyes widened with shock as the possibility of what might be happening hit her. This must be some kind of joke because there's no way its happening.

"Mr Jack," Jane called out as she patted his back gently seeing he was crying.

"Let's just stay like this for a while." Jack said and they continued to hug each other. 

"I'm sorry, excuse me." Jack ran off in tears after some minutes, leaving Jane confused and Mrs Whitney afraid.
