“We will discuss this after the negotiation,” Bemy squinted his eyes.His gaze was stony and cold.


    Ste looked at Bemy thoughtfully. He had a mask on, but hestill looked very sinister. “What’s wrong?”


    “Larson is the one who pretended to be me.When the ne exploded on its way to B Country,he, along with four other men, were killed in the explosion,” Bemy said solemnly.


    Ste’s hands were shaking.


    Something like that had happened before.Belongs to (N)?vel/Drama.Org.


    Jasper’s ne had exploded when he had been on his way to the Special Forces.


    “Who could be behind it? Christian is dead, and it’s impossible for Zoah to do that.Is it Quinn?” Ste’s voice trembled.


    “I do not know, but he is very likely to be the one behind it,” Bemy guessed.


    Ste could not control her emotions. She kicked her luggage hard.


    The image of the bullet piercing through Jasper’s head shed repeatedly in her mind, and the pain seemed to have numbed her entire being.


    “Why?” Ste cried. Her eyes were red andshe clenched her fists tightly. “You’ve already changed your identity, yet there are still people who won’t let you go.First, it was Christian,now it’s Quinn. Why are they all like this!!!”


    Bemy knew that she was worried about him. He reached out to hold her,putting her neck on his shoulder. He could feel her shivering.


    His heart ached for her too.“Don’t be afraid. We are fine now, and we always will be.”


    Ste wrapped her arms around his waist;she tried her best not to breakdown. She swallowed her fear, hatred, and anger. “Jasper, Christian is already dead. Let’s leave after this negotiation, okay? Let’stake Momand our childto a ce where no one knows us. We’ll live a good life there.”


    Bemy patted Ste on the back tofort her,but he did not say anything.


    “Okay?” Ste urged again. It was rare for her to be so bold before him.


    “If Quinn is not dealt with, we will be in danger no matter where we go. Also, my men are dead, so I can’t let him off the hook,” Bemy said gently, implicitly saying that he would not go into hiding with her.


    Ste pushed Bemy away with all her strength, and the temper she had long suppressed finally burst. “You are always like this!When we agreed to leavest time, you said that you needed to avenge your father’s death. Now that Christian is dead, you want to avenge your brothers. You do everything but think about me. Thest time I was pregnant, you weren’t by my side, andyou’re still not by my side this time. I am worried and scared every day. I am really tired. Do you still want to be in a rtionship with me or not?”


    She wiped her tears away, and the back of her hand was smeared with her makeup.


    She knew that she should not have lost her temper in front of so many people. Many people would look at her, and they would notice something wrong with her too.


    If she did not control her emotions,their identities might be exposed.


    Bemy merely stood there, staring at her as she ventedher anger.


    “Let’s split up for a while. I will contact youter,” Ste said. Then,she turned around, picked up her luggage, and ran out of the door quickly.


    She did not want to force Jasper, butshe really could not stand losing him again.


    She was tired of living like that.


    Bemy quickly caught up with herandheld her arm. He said helplessly in a gentle tone, “You are not familiar with this ce. I will be worried about you if you were to wander off alone.”


    Ste shook his hands off. Her eyes were red.


    “I was alone in the United States for three years.I was not familiar with that ce too, but I still lived well. I will live well no matter where I am,” Ste retorted.


    She knewthatshe was putting pressure on him.


    However, all hell seemed to have broken loose when she learned that his ne had exploded.


    Bemy wrapped his arms around her and coaxed her,saying, “Don’t be angry. I promise you that I will leave with you once we leave this ce.”


    Ste looked up at him in disbelief, “Are you telling me the truth?”


    Bemy nodded. “Yes,we will travel around the world and we couldeven live on a deserted ind if you want.”


    Upon hearing the words ‘deserted ind’, Ste felt bad.


    That ce used to be their sacrednd. However, it was no longer a secret, which meant thatif they wanted to leave the ongoing mess behind, they could not return to that ce.


    Extremely upset, she burst into tears.


    Bemy’s heart ached to see her cry.


    She was usually so strong, as though nothing could wear her down. She fought against Christian,Quinn,Zoah, and all sorts of people.


    However, at that moment, she was just a fragile young woman.


    Could Jasperhear her crying from the bed he was lying on?


    If he could hear her, would he feel sad too?


    If he was sad, would he wake up?


    “Ste, I am sorry. I’ve made you sad,” Bemy said softly.


    Ste calmed down gradually.


    What type of person was Jasper?


    Whenever he was on a mission, he would sacrifice himself for everyone, even aplete stranger, just because he was a soldier.


    If arade-in-arms died, he would be sad for a long time. Therefore, in order to save his fellow brother, he would choose to sacrifice himself.


    He was a man who valued friendship. He valued her life more than he did his own.


    She knew that he was sad. His brothers had died because of him, so he could not leave just like that.


    She understood him too well. If he were to leave just like that, he would be unhappy for the rest of his life;he would be tortured by his conscience for the rest of his life, just like how he could never forget the way hisrades had all died one by one in front of him eight years ago.


    At the thought of that, she became sad again. She cried as she gazed at him helplessly.


    Perhaps love was all about sacrifice.


    “Go,” she said firmly.“Go and fight. Avenge your fellow soldiers. I will fight alongside you. If you die, I will apany you.”


    She knew that that was what she should do. However, tears kept welling up in her eyes.Building up like water in a dam, it finally overflowed, streaming down her face.


    Bemy’s heart ached for her as he embraced her.


    She was truly an understanding and reasonable person.Although she had broken down and lost her temper at him, it was only because she loved Jasper too much.


    Once she calmed down, she would continue to stand by Jasper’s side, no matter how sad orreluctant she was.


    She would always force herself.


    “Ste, if we don’t deal with Quinn, we will be in danger no matter where we go. Quinn is a person who would kill a hundred innocent people just to get to a single target.”


    “We have to leave no matter what happens after we deal with Quinn,” Ste said as she looked at him,pleading him with hercharming eyes.


    Even though her tear-stained face was hideous, he was mesmerized by her eyesthat were filled with sorrow.


    He really wished that he was the real Jasper.
