After retracting her gaze, Jane Sampson continued chatting with Fiery Fanny on WhatsApp private messages about the book "The President Who Doesn’t Hurt People Isn’t Human", which had been announced earlier on twitter for a TV series adaptation, and Fiery Fanny had also shared that she would personally take on the screenwriting role.

Nowadays, as the two interacted on twitter, many fans speculated that Jane Sampson might be involved in the acting of this book.

Surprisingly, when fans of the book guessed that Jane Sampson might be playing the female lead, they were mostly optimistic and left supportive comments, expressing their anticipation.

Despite being a newcomer who hasn’t been in the industry for long, Jane’s work in TV shows and movies had slowly begun gaining traction on TV screens. Although she’s been taking on supporting roles, her acting skills and attractiveness have won unanimous approval from the book’s fans.

This time, James Black had a longer vacation period. After returning home, Jane Sampson went to the kitchen to help Aunt reheat the leftover rice and dishes for their dinner, marking a simple evening meal for her and James.

After all, there was a traffic jam on the road, and they didn’t get home until past nine o’clock.

After eating, James Black drove out alone for an errand, where he went and what he did, Jane casually asked, but he didn’t respond, so she didn’t continue to inquire.

With James not at home, Jane spent the evening reading novels on her mobile phone.

When it was 11 o’clock and time for bed, and James hadn’t returned yet, Jane decided to give him a call.

The phone buzzed a few times before James picked up.

The environment on the other end was very quiet, and after listening for two seconds, Jane asked, "Are you coming home tonight?"

"I’ll be back, but it’ll be a while. There’s still some things to handle here, it’s getting late, don’t wait up for me, go to sleep first," James’s calm voice came from the mobile phone.

"I wasn’t waiting anyway," Jane muttered under her breath, then hummed an acknowledgement and promptly hung up the phone.

At the hospital, James heard the buzzing sound on the phone and his expression imperceptibly shifted, and a term sprang to his mind.

Unruly.

Suddenly, Peter Gingery popped out from the corner, grinning cheekily at James, "Little Jane gave you a call, huh? Wow, that’s rare. Saw you weren’t home late and urged you to come back?"

"Yep," James admitted without a change in expression.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk," Peter Gingery continued reflectively, "People change so quickly."

Peter still remembered Jane’s old Moments updates; whenever James was due home, her Moments would feature posts of sighing and crying.

Back then, Jane didn’t have a high regard for James, but now, she would even take the initiative to call him if he was a bit late. How strange.

"Brother, the doctor said that since Jasmine Troop woke up, it’s like pulling her back from the ghost gate," Peter patted James on the shoulder, "Honestly, this time it was Jasmine Troop who overexerted herself by not following the plan. Her severe injuries were expected. This incident has nothing to do with you, bro. You shouldn’t have to put so much pressure on yourself."

Peter said, "Just because the Troop Family is unreasonable, you lead the mission and suddenly you have to take all the blame? It was Jasmine Troop who disrupted the plan from the start, almost causing the mission to completely fail. And still, the Troop Family has the audacity to blame you. Honestly, their faces are even bigger than the earth. Even if Jasmine Troop woke up, she can’t escape responsibility."
