164: You have always protected me

You have always protected me

Jane looked up when she heard her. Turning to Mo Shaoyun with tears running down her face, she asked him sadly, 0

"Shaoyun, is that why? Is that the reason why you are with the woman? Because I have an abortion?"

Mo Shaoyun did not say anything. He was unable to say anything anymore.

He managed to convince his parents that Jane was naive and she made a mistake by sending naked selfies to her ex-boyfriend.

However, with regards to the abortion, no matter how he tried, he was unable to convince them to look the other way.

Mr and Mrs Mo lost a child to miscarriage before. For a long time, they kept blaming themselves for the loss.

When they found out that Jane had an abortion, they were furious.

The child that they wanted for so long was gone through no fault of their own, and yet, their son's girlfriend terminated a life that was gifted to her.

To them, it was a slap to their face.

They were unable to accept her after that and no matter what Mo Shaoyun said, they were adamant to break the couple up.

As they exchanged looks, Mo Shaoyun thought, "Jane...My dear sweet Jane. Why are you so careless? Why... Why didn't you tell me about it before?"

In a haughty manner, Mrs. Mo glared at Jane as she sneered, "You claimed to be a virtuous doctor and yet, without any remorse, you ended the life of your own unborn child. Hypocrite! We would never accept someone like you!"

Kai Xin paled when she heard the reason why Mrs. Mo refused to accept Jane.

However, when she was about to say something, Jane stopped her. Tired, all she wanted to do was to go home.

Jane wiped off her tears and glanced up at DX. In a somewhat hoarse voice, she asked politely,

"Can you - Can you send me home, please? I'm a little tired."

Even though he cared not for anyone other than his woman, DX nodded. Turning to look at Kai Xin, he said, "Let's send her home before she collapsed."

Kai Xin glared angrily at Mo Shaoyun. The coward was unable to meet her in the eyes and he turned away.

Before she left, Kai Xin left him a warning,

"Mo Shaoyun, don't you dare to get anywhere near my Jane. Otherwise, I'd beat you up every time I see you!"

.....

DX waited in the car while Kai Xin accompanied Jane up to her unit.

When they were in the lift, Kai Xin glanced at Jane whose tears have dried. She looked exhausted and her eyes were reddened from all the crying.

Thinking of Mrs Mo words, she sighed, "Jane...This is all my fault. You don't have to keep it a secret for me. Don't let the idiot misunderstands anything."

Jane smiled at her best friend, "Don't worry about me. I'll keep the secret and take it to hell with me."

"Jane..."

"Kai Xin...Do you remember?" asked Jane as she stared at her feet. She smiled and continued,

"...When you first came, I was round like a ball and everyone bullied me because of that. You were the only one who protected me. When the naked photos were leaked, you stood by my side and you told me that you don't care about what people thought of you. You have always protected me. So, this time... "

She took Kai Xin's hand and said with a smile, "...This time, let me help you protect your secret."

"Jane, I-"

Jane shook her head and interrupted her, "Shaoyun, he... Even if I was the one who had the abortion back then... If he chose to leave because of that, then...He's not someone for me."

Even though Jane said that she did not blame her, Kai Xin still felt unease about it.

When she returned to the car, she could not shake the feeling of guilt away.

Mo Shaoyun was Jane's first boyfriend after the incident with that bastard from a neighbouring high school.

The boy had played around with her feelings, and her body. He even convinced her to send him nudes.

Jane, naive as she was, thought he deleted everything. However, he did not. When they broke up, he sent the photos to everyone in their school.

Jane was severely punished by the school and if her parents did not beg the headmistress and donated half their assets to the school, she would have been kicked out.

In contrast, all the boy got was a short suspension from his school. When he returned, he was even hailed as a hero by his friends.

Her reputation was completely destroyed while he continued on with his life without any remorse.

It angered Kai Xin that the world was always so unfair to the fairer sex.

While driving, DX saw that she was deep in her thoughts and asked in concern, "What's wrong?"

"DX...I..."

"Hmm?"

She stared at him. After a while, she shook her head before replying, "Nothing, I just thought of a silly question earlier. Where are we going?"

Thinking that she was probably worried about Jane, he did not push on with his questions.

Instead, he told her with a grin, "We are going to the amusement park."
