    Chapter 1311 Stubborn On The Lips


    With that, Shane threw the handkerchief onto Jackson’s face and turned around for the elevator with


    both hands tucked inside his own pockets.


    Ss did not immediately follow suit. Instead, he gestured at Jackson with a finger to the two security


    guards so that they would watch Jackson, just to make sure Jackson did not do anything foolish. Only


    afterward did he go after Shane.


    Although Mr. Shane was not explicit about wanting to stop Dr. Baker from seeking death, he must not


    actually wish to see the doctor dead. Otherwise, he would not have bothered to make the trip and to


    bring up Dr. Baker’s parents at all. All in all, Mr. Shane must just be stubborn on the lips.


    When they stepped outside the entrance to the hospital, Shane suddenly paused. Amidst Ss’


    confoundment, the former took out his phone to make a call.


    Very quickly, Ss realized who he was calling. Shane had called Jackson’s parents and told them


    everything; about Jacqueline’s death, Jackson’s resultant anguish, as well as his desire to end his own


    life over it.


    Jackson’s parents nearly fainted from their aggrievement over that.


    Knowing well what sort of person Jacqueline was, they had never approved of Jackson’s infatuation with


    that woman. That was especially the case in a recent couple of months past when Jackson and


    Jacqueline started seeing each other in earnest—a situation that they met with fervent opposition. The


    debacle with Jacqueline went as far as to drive a wedge between their son and themselves.


    However, parents could never outduel their own children. In the end, theypromised and allowed


    Jackson and Jacqueline to date. That was because they knew that Jacqueline was not serious about


    Jackson, to begin with. They reckoned that she only meant to use Jackson by agreeing to be with him


    and would kick him to the curb as soon as she was done with him.

    Their thinking was that Jackson would have swallowed a bitter pill by then and be able to see Jacqueline


    as who she really was. That was why they relented to permitting them to be together.


    Things unfolded exactly as they had predicted. Jackson and Jacqueline broke up shortly after, and that


    came to Jackson as a massive blow. As pained as they felt as parents, they were even more relieved


    that Jacqueline had been mercifully quick to dump their own son. Otherwise, it would have hurt him even


    more if she had done so after she deemed himpletely surplus to requirements.


    Initially, they were in the belief that Jackson would be able to walk out of the shadows of his heartbreak


    soon after they parted ways. Never did they expect that Jacqueline would emerge as the culprit behind


    the killing of Shane’s parents. Also, they had never expected that Jacqueline would cajole Jackson into


    setting her free after she had been held captive by Shane, leading to the dissolution of the friendship


    between Jackson and Shane, and subsequently, the disintegration of rtions between the Thompsons


    and the Bakers.


    All of that only fueled their contempt for Jacqueline. As though it’s not enough that Jacqueline took her


    own life, how could she try to drag Jackson down with her?


    The very thought of that drove Jackson’s parents mad with rage.


    Jackson’s father promptly said, “I hear you, Shane. Thank you for informing us of this. We shall head


    down to Stanford Hospital and bring that rascal home right away.”


    Shane grunted in acknowledgement and hung up the call.


    It was as Ss thought. Shane was nheless unable to simply allow Jackson to perish alongside


    Jacqueline the way he dered.


    First and foremost, it was because Jacqueline was not someone worth doing that for as far as Jackson


    was concerned.


    Secondly, Jackson was a friend Shane grew up with, and even Jackson’s parents had been great to him,


    enabling him to feel the care and love that came from his elders. Hence, no matter what, he was not


    going to allow Jackson to die just like that.


    Shane had said whatever he could to console Jackson. The rest would be up to thetter’s parents.


    If even Jackson’s parents could not sway their own son, then he would not go any further trying to


    persuade Jackson from seeking death. Shane had tried and done everything that he could to prevent


    that. If Jackson were to remain insistent on the course that he had set himself on, then it would mean


    that he was not someone worth the effort.


    “Let’s go.” With a frown, Shane slipped the phone back into his own pocket and strode down the steps


    and toward the car parked by the side of the road.


    As usual, Ss stayed close behind. Upon nearing the car, he picked up his own pace to get ahead of


    Shane to open the door for him. “After you, Mr. Shane.”


    Shane bent down and got inside the car, and Ss took his own ce in the driver’s seat. Then, the car


    rolled out and departed from Stanford Hospital.
