Chapter 942


    She was like an empress standing on a giant''s shoulder looking condescendingly at her subjects.


    "Have you drank the waters of Lethe, Jaybie? And crossed the bridge to the underworld? Would


    you still remember me?


    "I’m sorry, I can’t join you yet. I need to stay here and finish what you started and find our son. Also,


    I want t o stay here and wait for your return."


    A gust of wind rose from the ground, taking away the rustles of the autumn and weing the


    harsh cold o f winter.


    Like winter, Angeline turned colder and colder as she waited.


    Using ruthless and unsparing methods, she quickly forced the Titus, Bell, Ares, and Severe families


    into submission.


    A few yearster.


    In a fishing vige.


    A woman was picking freshwater mussels by the river with a four-year-old child on her back.


    Several women gesticted at her and said, "That’s her, the woman who picked up a wild man a


    few years back and married him. I heard that the man has also brought with him a man in a


    vegetative state. In the past few


    years, she not only has to earn money to support her family but also has to take care of her useless


    husband. Her family drove her out because they were displeased with her."


    "Well, you can''t me that useless man for having such good looks, can you? If I met a man like


    that, I''d pick him up and hide him in my house too," a young woman sneered, sounding like sour


    grapes. 1


    The woman did not say anything and went home after picking a basket full of mussels.

    The woman’s house was located at the end of the fishing vige where there were only a few


    broken fenced houses. The houses were extremely shabby and would start leaking whenever the


    rain poured continuously, so pots and pans would be used to catch the rain.


    When the woman came home, she started the fire dexterously and began cooking.


    Her man was sitting at the end of a stove in the other room. Although he was wearing clean old


    clothes, they had failed to conceal his natural elegance and nobility.


    There was another good-looking man lying on the bed, but he had been sleeping for many years.


    Although there were still vital signs that showed that he was alive, he was no different from a dead


    man.


    Soon after, the woman walked in with a bowl of mussel stew. When she noticed the man staring at


    Tempest, who was lying on the bed, she could not help but tease. "He won''t wake up even if you


    stare at him all day. From what I can see, it''s better to send him to a nursing home. At least a doctor


    can perform checkups for him every day."


    The man’s charming face turned sullen. "No one''s allowed to take him away as long as I''m here."


    The nursing home in the fishing vige was a ce for old widows and widowers. He went there


    before, and the ce reeked so badly because no one was taking care of the elderly’s personal


    hygiene.


    The man lying on the bed was his savior. The woman once told him that the man had used his own


    body to shield him beneath his own, and that was why he had only suffered a slight concussion and


    lost his memory.


    On the other hand, the man had entered a vegetative state.


    When he bathed him and wiped him dry, he noticed a small grass tattoo on his shoulder de,


    hence he named him Tempest.


    The woman handed the mussel stew to him and sighed weakly. "It''s been three years. We have no


    money to treat him and can hardly make ends meet ourselves. Our son will start school in two more


    years. Are you nning to live like that for the rest of your life?"


    The man put the mussel stew on the table, his charming pupils turning deep and profound.


    "I''ll find a way to earn money, Marilyn Auberge."


    The woman named Marilyn Aubergeughed bitterly." Fishing has been the major source of ie


    in this fishing vige for generations. You have mysophobia and can''t stand the stench of fish. How


    are you going t o earn money?"


    The man fell silent and said nothing.


    Marilyn said, "My parents have some money, but they''re extremely snobbish and only care about


    my elder sister who has married into a well-off family. I went to borrow money from them yesterday


    but they were unhappy to see me and refused to lend me any money.”
