Chapter 626: It Is Not Too Late


    "Devin actually feels really guilty about it.He wants to drop by, but his family had locked him up, so he


    can''t" said Jake to defend Devin.


    The former deliberated it, but he felt he should defend thetter anyway.


    Karl, however, scoffed upon hearing that.


    Guilt? Mr.Ronin called Devin after learning that he was the one who took Frieda away.


    If Devin actually cared, he wouldn''t have hung up on Mr.Ronin.


    Moreover, when we reached the train and saw him in person, he didn''t let Mr.Ronin leave with his


    mom.


    Instead, Devin kept negotiating and asked if he could take Frieda to the Jadesons’ Residence first.


    What bullsh*t.


    There was no way Frieda could survive if she was brought over.


    All in all, Karl thought that Devin yed a significant role in the matter.


    Perhaps the fault stemmed from Devin''s upbringing and how he was trained to obey the Jadesons''


    commands, though.


    He was not like his Uncle Shin and didn''t have the courage to fight against his family.He certainly didn''t


    have the guts to stay true to himself.


    "Come on, let me take you to go see how Mr.Ronin is doing" said Karl to change the subject.


    He turned around immediately after to take Jake to Kane''s room.


    Jake didn''t reply.He turned grimmer and could only follow along.


    Kane remained unconscious in the room.Heid quietly on the bed and had a bag of saline attached to


    him.


    One look was all it took to see how he had turned pale with deep eye shadows donning his face.He


    looked utterly disheveled.


    How did his condition turn so bad in just a matter of days? Jake felt even worse upon seeing that.


    He thought about what he wanted to say, but he could no longer deliver the speech he prepared.


    "Please feel free to sit, Mr.Chandler.I''ll head over to collect the medicine for Mr.Ronin."


    "Okay,” murmured Jake.


    He nodded before he went and sat down beside Kane''s bed with slumped shoulders and head.


    Jake actually had another reason for dropping by.


    For years, the four guys had been close pals.


    Hence, the huge issue arising between Devin and Kane had made Jake and Shawn feel bad as well.


    That was why Jake rushed over.He lived near the city, after all.


    "What do we do now that you and Devin are in such a dilemma? You know, Devin really didn''t mean to


    do all that.He meant toe to visit after everything happened, but the Jadesons locked him up.Kane,


    do you think you can find it in you to not me him?" asked Jake.


    He sat on the chair and seemed a little troubled when he spoke up for Devin.


    Devin and Jake''s friendship was stronger than most friendships.


    They both grew up in Jadeborough, and their families were close because both worked for the


    government.


    That made it so that Jake grew up watching Devin.


    Cough! Cough! No one knew how much time had passed, but Kane, who had been resting on the


    hospital bed, suddenly coughed.


    After that, he slowly opened his eyes in the cold, uninviting hospital room.

    "Kane, you''re up!" blurted Jake, who was instantly delighted upon seeing that.


    Cough! Kane coughed again.


    Perhaps it was because he had just woken up and still hadn''t gotten used to his surrounding, but he


    couldn''t catch his breath.


    Jake noticed that, so he quickly poured Kane a ss of water.


    "Kane, are you alright?" asked Jake, "Here, let me help you up."


    After that, Jake helped Kane sit up on the bed and handed the letter a ss of warm water.


    The warm liquid flushed down Kane''s burning throat and eased the pain.


    That finally made Kane feel better and allowed him to regain a fragment of his strength.


    "What brought you here?" asked Kane.


    He looked at Jake, but his slightly pale handsome face showed no warmth when he did so.


    Jake saw that, so he quickly exined himself, "l came to visit you, Kane.Shawn and I are so sorry that


    we weren''t around when something so terrible happened between you and Devin.If we had been


    around..."


    "This has nothing to do with either of you," interrupted Kane cruelly.


    There was even a hint of impatience in his eyes as he spoke.That frightened Jake and shut him right


    up.He knew just how bad Kane''s temper was.


    They had known each other for years.


    Among the four of them, Devin was the warmest and kindest one, whereas Kane was his pr


    opposite.Kane was quick to lose his temper and was difficult to pacify once he did so.


    "So, uh “ Devin asked me to deliver a message for him.


    He said that he hasn''t told the family who you really are and imed that he would keep this secret for


    you if you wish so informed Jake carefully as he inched away from the bedside.


    The Jadesons doesn''t know who I am yet? As suspected, Kane shifted his gaze to Jake and taunted,


    "Is he joking? He already sent his men to go after my mom, so how could the Jadesons not know who I


    am?"


    "It''s true.When Devin received his mission, his family only told him to capture your mom.They never


    even mentioned you.Remember, Kane, that you are a member of the Ronin as far as anyone else is


    concerned.If no one investigates your birth, no one will know that you are actually Shin''s son."


    Jake was quick to offer the exnation Devin gave when the former saw how Kane wasn''t buying any


    of that.


    That was the truth as well.The Jadesons actually only knew about Frieda.


    They knew nothing about Kane''s true identity, and that was all thanks to Chris''s work from all those


    years ago.Kane finally stopped talking.
