Jai Mei's Unforeseen Journey to Ancient China

Chapter Twenty Seven: Unnoticed and Overshadowed

It has been a few days since Jai Mei's altercation with her husbands, and she has sought refuge at her friend Wei Xiaoli's home until the tension at her own home subsides.

Despite this, Jai Mei continues to help with the construction of their new house, which is nearly complete, as well as tend to their animals and garden.

Despite her dedication to becoming Doctor Liang Bo's apprentice, Jai Mei made the decision to put her lessons on hold as the construction of the house neared completion.

Understanding the importance of Jai Mei's health, Doctor Liang Bo agreed to her request, advising her to closely monitor her condition and avoid any strenuous activities. He emphasized the need for her husbands to be involved in taking care of her well-being.

Unbeknownst to the doctor, Jai Mei had not informed her husbands about her injury and had even lied about not working on the house, further complicating the situation.

Meanwhile, her husbands were consumed by their own thoughts and plans, their emotions still raw from the altercation.

Hao Zhang, fueled by anger and a sense of injustice, spent his days tirelessly packing up produce and animals, determined to secure their future. He had always been resourceful, and now he channeled that energy into gathering their belongings and preparing for their departure. In the quiet moments, he would sit alone, strategizing and calculating the best way to escape Jai Yuna's grasp.

Liu Feng, known for his practicality, took charge of organizing their departure. He made arrangements for a hired cart, ensuring they would have a reliable means of transportation when the time came. Liu Feng understood the importance of planning every detail meticulously, leaving nothing to chance. He used his connections within the village to gather information about nearby towns and communities where they could potentially settle.

Chun Wei, who had been living in constant fear, felt a newfound sense of empowerment. With the support of the guys, he began envisioning a life free from abuse, a life where he could pursue his own dreams and aspirations. In the quiet moments, he would write down his hopes and aspirations, reminding himself of the future they were working towards. He also took it upon himself to gather information about the places they could potentially relocate to, researching opportunities for personal growth and a fresh start.

Shu Wang, torn between conflicting emotions, found solace in tending to the animals and the garden, activities that had always brought him peace. He couldn't help but notice Jai Mei's continued dedication to their shared endeavors, even amidst the turmoil.

Deep down, he couldn't shake the feeling that she might be genuinely changing, but he knew he had to prioritize the safety and well-being of the others and himself. In his quiet moments, he reflected on the complexity of their situation, struggling to reconcile the memories of past abuse with the glimmers of kindness he had witnessed recently.

Amidst the tension and uncertainty, the husbands were individually processing their emotions, strategizing their escape, and contemplating their future. Each carried a unique perspective and played a crucial role in their collective pursuit of freedom and happiness. Their paths were converging, and soon they would have to make the final decision that would shape their lives forever.

While Jai Mei sought to contribute to the construction of their nearly completed house, she remained committed she saw it as an opportunity for personal growth and a chance to make amends for the pain caused in the past.

As Jai Mei continued to devote her time and energy to the construction of their new house, tending to the animals, and working in the garden, her injured hand and shoulder began to take a toll on her.

The pain grew more intense with each passing day, making it increasingly difficult for her to carry out her tasks.

Despite her efforts to appear strong and hide her discomfort, the pain was becoming unbearable. She had been so focused on helping and proving herself that she neglected her own well-being.

Jai Mei knew she should be taking the time to rest and allow her injuries to heal, but she couldn't bring herself to stop. The drive to be useful and demonstrate her dedication consumed her thoughts.

However, the husbands, consumed by their own plans and emotions, remained unaware of Jai Mei's worsening condition. They were too preoccupied with their escape plot, discussing logistics and strategies without realizing the toll it was taking on her.

Jai Mei's silent suffering went unnoticed amidst the chaos that enveloped their lives.

Unbeknownst to her, while Jai Mei worked through the pain, the husbands became further detached from her daily experiences. Their focus had shifted entirely to their impending departure and securing a future away from her. In their minds, she had become an obstacle, a source of pain and fear that needed to be left behind.

As Jai Mei endured the physical agony, her determination to prove her worth intensified. She saw her contributions as a way to mend the fractures in their relationship, hoping that her efforts would speak louder than words. Little did she know that her unwavering dedication went unnoticed, overshadowed by the husbands' growing resentment and desire for escape.

The divide between Jai Mei's internal struggle and the husbands' tunnel vision grew wider with each passing day. While she attempted to be helpful, the husbands were too immersed in their own plans to pay attention to her diminishing well-being.

The pain in her hand and shoulder served as a constant reminder of the sacrifices she was making, but she remained unseen amidst the tumultuous circumstances.
