Chapter 1283

Sharing Her Pain

At that moment, she couldn’t bring herself to declare her love for Shane anymore. If fact, she didn’t even
have the courage to hate him for a sense of terror was the only emotion that remained.

Watching him order her legs to be broken was a sight that she could never erase from her memory.

“Yes, Shane’s here. However, he’s waiting outside the room.” Jackson didn’t hide the fact that Shane
was present.

When Jacqueline’s body began to tremble violently, a sharp pain shot through her legs, causing her to
let out an agonizing scream before desperately trying to catch her breath.

Shocked, Jackson asked, “Jacqueline, what’s wrong?”

“I’m in pain, Jackie. My legs hurt like hell.” As Jacqueline grabbed Jackson’s arm tightly, her face began
to grimace. “Jackie, my legs hurt, boohoo…”

Her legs!

Jackson examined her legs at once.

Not daring to apply any force, all he could do was gently press on them.



The moment he felt something soft, his heart sank.

An ordinary person’s kneecap was hard, but the thing he felt was evidently flesh instead of bone.

In other words, Jacqueline’s knee had been shattered, and her legs were beyond saving. For the rest of
her life, she would be nothing but a cripple.



Unfortunately, she had no idea about the condition of her legs, as she had fainted the moment the first of
her legs was broken. Subsequently, she drifted in and out of consciousness without realizing what had
happened.

The reason she told him about the pain was so that he would examine her legs and give her the
prognosis. If it could still be treated, she expected him to do it for her.

Enduring the agonizing pain, Jacqueline asked hopefully, “Jackie, how are my legs?”

Despite opening his mouth, Jackson took a long time before replying bitterly, “Jacqueline, I’m sorry. Your
legs are crippled.”

The shock that ensued caused Jacqueline’s head to spin.

Crippled… Does this mean I’ll be handicapped for the rest of my life?

Unable to accept the news, she screamed hysterically, “Argh!”

It was so loud that everyone outside heard it, causing Natalie to turn around to look at the door.

“Shane, what do you think happened inside?”

Lowering his gaze, Shane replied, “Jacqueline must have been told that her legs will never recover,
hence the reaction.”

“Why are you so sure?” Natalie gave him a curious look.

Shane cracked a faint smile. “That’s because I overheard them talking about legs.”

Natalie snorted, “I see, but I didn’t hear anything at all.”



“It’s not like you don’t know how good my hearing is.” Shane pointed at his ear smugly, causing Natalie to
roll her eyes and ignore him.

Back in the room, Jackson felt miserable as he watched Jacqueline rave like a madwoman.

He reached out his hands to grab her shoulders, “Jacqueline, please calm down, will you?”

“Calm down?” She glared at him with bloodshot eyes. “Jackson, tell me how I am going to do that with
my legs broken, never to stand again. Now that I’m a cripple, how do you expect me to calm down?”

She slapped her blanket forcefully.

When he saw how emotional she became, Jackson hugged her tightly. “Don’t move, Jacqueline. Don’t
move. It will only tear your wound further and cause you more pain!”

Subsequently, Jacqueline lowered her head and bit savagely into his shoulder.

Grunting in pain, Jackson grimaced as cold sweat broke out across his forehead.

Even then, he didn’t push her away and allowed her to continue biting, for he knew that she needed to
vent the pain and misery she felt.

Given that there was nothing else he could do for her, sharing her torment was the only thing he could
manage.

Just like that, Jackson clenched his fists and endured the excruciating pain in his shoulder.
