Ste Grace looked at Doctor Adamin confusion and asked, “Jasper, what do you mean? I’m not mentally ill. I have been cured.I promise.”
“I’m not Mr. Milton. I’m a doctor,”Doctor Adam exined.
Ste’s heart skipped a beat. She lowered her eyes and stopped talking. Then, she removed the quilt slowly.
“I see. Thank you, Doctor Adam.Is she fine otherwise?” Suzi inquired worriedly.
“Her body is weak and her heartbeat is irregr. The instability of her mood is not goodfor the baby as well. I will prescribe some medicine to nourish the baby,”Doctor Adam concluded.
“Thank you,” Suzi saw Doctor Adam out. She then turned around and held Ste’s freezing hand.
“Ste, I know that you are devastated. I know that you love Jasper with all your heart. But he is dead now. You have to take care of yourself well, alright?You still have his child in your belly. Do you think that he would be able to rest in peace if you were to continue like this?” Suzi spoke softly.
Ste fixed her eyes at the quilt and kept her mouth shut.
Suzi was worried sick about her condition, “Ste, you have to cheer up. Dante is waiting for you to take care of him.”
Ste remained silent.
Her phone rang, but she did not answer the call.
Suzi looked at Ste with concern. She picked up the mobile phone and saw that it wasAnthony Levis. She ced the phone at Ste’s ear.
“Madam, something bad has happened.Eugried to assassinateChristian to avenge the Chief, but he was caught byChristian’s men,” Anthony said anxiously.
Ste’s eyes quivered slightly.
“Madam, what should we do now? I believe that Eugene would rather die than to surrender. However, Christian would definitely torture him. We have to rescue him,” There was certainty in Anthony’s voice.
“Anthony, is Jasper really dead?” Ste asked weakly.
“Well, you were in aa previously. All of us went to his funeral,” Anthony confessed.
Ste understood.
The scene where a bullet had been shot through the back of Jasper’s head was not a dream. It was real.
Jasper Milton really was dead.
“Where is he buried at?” Ste questioned.
“At theMartyrs’ Cemetery.”
“He promised me that he would allow me to make a y figurine with his ashes and put it on my bed. Elvis was thereas well. If you don’t believe me, you can ask him,” Ste spoke.
“Are you saying that you want to take the Chief’s ashes out and use it to make a y figurine?”Anthony wasstunned.
“Well, I was just joking with him.I will not live alone after he died. The best memories we had were on the ind. Please put our ashes together,take it to the ind, and then bury it in our courtyard.
“In the future, Jasper, our children, and I will be together forever,” Ste muttered softly.
“What?”Anthony pausedfor a moment. “What… do you mean?”
“Many people die each passing day. Many are born too.Some will fail in life and some will seed. However, I only have Jasper in my life. If he truly is dead, everything else doesn’t matter to me,” Ste answered lightly.
“He was killed byChristian. Don’t you want to seek revenge for the Chief?” Anthony was in confusion.
“He won’t me me even if I don’t seek revenge for him. Since he is already dead, I would like to apany him as soon as possible. I don’t want to waste any more time in this world. I’m sorry, Anthony. I’m different from you. You are devoted to your country, but there is only him in my world,” Ste apologized. She took a deep breath and looked at Suzi Shine.
Suzi’s eyes were red as she stared at Ste with tears.
There were only three words that Ste could say, “I am sorry.”
She remembered thatshe would read novels and watch TV asionallywhen she was little. The characterson the TV shows or the novels would always have a perfect ending.
However, it was never like that in life.
There was no restart button.
Perhaps,everyone would look forward to the perfect endings in novels and TV showsbecause of the tragedies they experienced in their lives.
Being born into chaos but dying in peace at the end sounded good too. Therefore, it did not matter if she died or lived.N?velDrama.Org owns all ? content.
That way, Jasper and her would not be separated anymore.
If he was reborn, she would be reborn too.
If he was dead, she would die too.
“Madam, is your ce safe?” Anthony queried out of the blue.
“I think so.Mom is here with me in the room. Jasper had ced anti-wiretap equipment in here. Say what you need to say,” Ste replied calmly and took the phone from Suzi.
“The Chief is not dead. He is still alive. It’s just a deceptive trick. Christian and the others thought that the Chief is dead. He is now at the Dark Shadow’s secret base,” Anthony muttered in a low voice.
Ste was dumbstruck.Her whole body rxed all of a sudden astears rolled down her face.
She didn’t cry today at all. However, at this moment, she couldn’t hold back her tears anymore. She finally broke down andchoked.“I want to see him.”
“I’m worried that Christian’s men are watching you. After all, they have God’s Eyes,” Anthony said worriedly.
“That’s easy. You have a submarine, don’t you?The God’s Eyes or the satellites couldn’t possibly get footage that way.”
“I have a boat. Let’s just follow the normal procedures. I’ll take his ashes out and go to the ind. I will get down from the side of the propeller so that the satellites would not be able to detect anything. You could get a submarine to pick me up. This way, no one will notice,” Ste blurted.
“But, the weather is really cold right now. Are you sure that you want to sail to the sea? Will your body be able to take it?”Anthonywas concerned.
“Everything would only take one or two minutes at most. It will be fine. The asional cold could improve blood cirction. Don’t worry,” Ste affirmed him.
“Alright. We’ll go with your n then. I’ll deal with the bone ashes first so that we could take it to the ind tomorrow. I’ll go with you. This way,I could ensure that you’re safe too,” Anthony exined worriedly.
“Okay. By the way, if the bone ashes are not Jasper’s, then whose is it?”
“They are just ashes from pig’s bones,”Anthonyrified.
Ste understood, “Jasper is fine now, isn’t he? The bullet that was shot at the back of his head was also a part of the act, right?”
“You will know once you meet the Chief. However, I am very troubled about Eugene’s situation.What should we do about it?” Anthony spoke with concern.
“DidEugenecarry any weapon with him?” Ste questioned.
“Yes, he did. He wanted tomit suicide after killing Christian. Unfortunately, his attempt failed. He ended up gettingcaught,” Anthony said in distress.
“Christian must be waiting for us to fall into his trap. I will call youter,” Ste hung up the phone.
“Natalie, is Jasper alright?” Suzi asked expectantly.
“Mom, you must keep this a secret. Otherwise, Jasper will be in danger,” Ste ordered.
Suzi smiled,“Don’t worry. I won’t reveal anything even if I have to die.”
