Chapter 1528


    Alex was stunned for a moment, and then he asked eagerly, “What happened?”


    Garrett had a catch in his throat. “Madam...no, I mean Miss Jane and her fiance, they are not...in Bay


    County.”


    “Where are you now?” Alex asked.


    Garrett immediately said, “Master Alex, I followed your orders and came outside of the mansion in Bay


    County. However, there was no one there. The interiors of the entire mansion seemed like it was


    ransacked.”


    Alex asked, “How could this be?”


    It was actually Sabrina’s idea to let Garrett go to Bay County in advance. Twelve days ago, Alex had


    locked himself in the Poole residence in Kidon city once he had returned from the northeastern area.


    No one knew what he had done all alone in the study for two whole days and nights. He was actually


    liquidating his assets. Throughout his whole life, he had been fighting hard for his parent’s glory from a


    young age. He also thought that he could get everything he wanted through his own hard work in this


    life.


    However, the first time he had suffered a blow was being dumped by his first girlfriend. He was still


    young at that time, so even if he had been dumped by his first girlfriend, he still held on to his faith. He


    had spent ten years waiting for her toe back to him. Also, not only did he not waste the decade,


    but his career was also thriving.


    He once thought that he only had Lily in his heart.


    After he had met Lily in his life, all the other women were nothing to him. There was no need to


    consider them. To put it bluntly, the reason for him to keep Jane by his side was solely for his


    physiological needs. Throughout the entire decade, Alex had always thought that he had been relying


    on the idea of waiting for Lily’s return to support himself. However, after he had kicked Jane out, only


    then did he realize that he had long been inseparable from Jane. 1


    The reason why the past decade of waiting was so easy to endure was that he had Jane. The


    continuous stream that quietly flowed seemed to have no trace, and it seemed that it had never left a


    mark in his heart. In fact, it had already hollowed out his heart unconsciously. The sulents that she


    was growing in that corner of the living room. The spider ivy she had ced on the balcony. That small


    pot of bell pepper on the kitchen windowsill. Also, the closet was full of shirts that she had ironed for


    him, how each style should be matched were ced properly. After she had left, his closet turned into a


    mess. There were countless maids in the house, but none of them could do as she did. she knew and


    understood him. she also knew how he coordinated his clothes every day. 1


    Later on, Alex’s knees suddenly became sore and painful during one cloudy and rainy day. The

    soreness of his knees had been a recurring issue for many years. It was a condition he obtained after a


    particr war abroad that he had participated in. Later on, he had seen the military doctor after


    returning home, but the condition could not bepletely eradicated. Lily’s father had taught him a


    method to manage the condition. He asked Alex to watch the weather forecast, and requested him to


    sweat it out on a dry and warm ce before a rainy day, and then apply hotpression on his knees.


    Ever since Jane had started to be with him, all these matters were done by her. In the past eight years,


    she has been paying attention to the weather forecast at every moment. On every cloudy day before it


    started to rain, she had always reminded him not to consume too much alcohol, to keep himself warm


    outside, and also to return home earlier than usual, she would even prepare a small heater to keep his


    knees warm. She would even personally massage his legs after keeping his knees warm. So much so


    that, after all these years, he had already forgotten about his condition. However, after she had left for


    several months, the condition rpsed. 2


    These trivial matters in life such as eating, cleaning, the music to be yed at home, and even his


    resting time and sleep quality had turned into a hot mess because of her absence. It was until then that


    Alex had a profound realization that Jane’s departure had taken everything of him away, what she had


    left behind for him was just a shell.


    Jane’s departure waspletely different from Lily’s. Lily only left him brokenhearted when she


    departed that year, and his heart had already healed over time. However, when Jane left, she had


    taken everything he had away.
