Chapter 782
When she first pursued Zachary, Jane intended to indulge in the moment.
Who would have thought that she would truly become attached and want to fight for it now?
"Madam Collins, I won't sugarcoat things or speak in grand terms. I acknowledge that I failed to guard against Nina, that's on me. As for me and Zachary, we're inseparable at this stage, so you need not bother trying to persuade me. The future is uncertain, we can't predict what will happen next. I only want to focus on the present. I can't help him with his career, but I won't create trouble for him either. I won't force him into uncomfortable
situations like Nina did."
At that point, Jano paused.
When she spoke again, her tone was incredibly serious.
"Madam Collins, if in the future someone holds a gun to my head and threatens Zachary, you can rest assured that I won't let him be in a difficult position. Beyond that, I have nothing more to say. My head hurts, so you're free to go." Madam Collins studied Jane for a while before getting up to leave.
She didn't believe that anyone could love so deeply that they would be willing to die for it.
No matter what kind of relationship it was, a connection based on mutual benefit was the most stable.
"Grandma."
Opening the ward door, Madam Collins saw Zachary standing at the entrance and wasn't too surprised.
If such trivial matters could be hidden from him, how could he bear the weight of the entire Collins family?
"You heard everything?"
Zachary closed the ward door and helped his grandmother toward his grandfather's room, while nodding slightly. "You shouldn't be bothering Grandpa like this. It's freezing, and if you really get sick from coming to the hospital, you'll regret it." Madam Collins rarely cried, after all, their family was strict, and the business world was like a battlefield, where bloodshed was inevitable.
Instead of crying, she preferred to think about how to solve problems.
"Zachary, why do you like her so much?"
Zachary couldn't really explain it. There didn't seem to be any specific reason.
He just liked her-simple as that.
"Grandma, I understand your concerns. I won't abandon my responsibilities to the Collins family. I'll carry them well. Even without a powerful wife to support me, I can walk my path steadily. I can't be with anyone but her. If you want me to break up with her, then don't blame me for being serious about leaving the Collins family."
Madam Collins slapped Zachary's back in frustration.
She was genuinely angry but felt powerless.
She never imagined that her cold and distant grandson could love someone like this-so much so that he would consider giving up their family and the responsibilities of the Collins family.
If the policies hadn't prohibited it, she would have had more children.
Zachary's mother had a chance to have a second child, but giving birth to him damaged her
health.
It had always been a union of interests, divorce was not an option. Zachary's father held a prominent position and couldn't have an illegitimate child.
She had poured her heart and soul into raising a single child, only to end up in this
situation.
It was infuriating.
"Don't be upset."
Noticing her breathing becoming heavy, Zachary put on a serious face and gently rubbed her back to soothe her.
Madam Collins swatted his hand away. "It seems you just want to drive me to my doom.'
Zachary replied, "That can't happen."
"Zachary Collins!"

Madam Collins called him by his full name. "You have no chance of severing ties with the Collins family. If you insist on opposing us, then in the end, the one who pays the price will be Jane."
