Still Wanna Escape After Stealing My Heart? novel Chapter 876

A week after Alex had rescued Jane, he made her his i n the hospital. The entire hospital knew that Jane was sent there by Alex and assumed that she was his. The doctors who worked there all had mixed feelings about the discovery. Female doctors and nurses who were still young and single couldn't help but feel bitter about it. After all, Alex Poole was the symbol of majestic power at a very young age in Kidon City. There were as many women in Kidon City who wanted to marry Alex as women in South City who dreamt of marrying Sebastian. And now, they had to watch him spend countless nights with the patient in her room. The way he carried her into the bathroom to wash up and how a blush appeared on the woman's pale face that was just as small as her palms. They even had to listen to her calling Alex 'hubby'. 1

That was the story of how Jane was taken away in Alex's car to his home, all the while being the target of jealousy from many female doctors, nurses and even patients.

All the servants in his home would address her as ' madam', but Jane did not let it get to her head. She knew who she was. She was almost thirty when she started to follow Alex. The injustice she faced earlier i n life had only made her wiser. She looked at Alex calmly and addressed him as 'good sir', instead of calling him 'hubby' like she did at the hospital. Alex

wasn't surprised. He liked women who were sensible. He realized that dating older women had its perks. Jane wasn't as wilful or needy as younger girls, she was understanding and did not dwell on things that weren't destined to be hers. It was great.

"What is it?" He looked back at her steadily.

Jane lifted her gaze and looked at him longingly. "I won't ask to be your wife. I won't even ask to be your girlfriend. I...I don't think I count as a lover, so...I'll just be like any of the maids here in your house, but I don't need to be paid. All I ask is that you provide me with food and clothes, and that's enough."

Alex didn't expect her to ask for so little.
