She was looking forward to reuniting with Jasper, and all sorts of emotions were running through her mind. She was nervous, yet happy, but there was also a slight hint of sadness.


    However, she was happy as long as he was alive.


    She kept counting down the minutes until they would reunite. Every minute felt like a year.


    “Are we there yet?”


    “Are we there yet?”


    “Are we there yet?”


    After asking the same question about twelve times, the car finally stopped in the middle of an empty grasnd.


    Ste looked around. Confused, she asked, “Why did we stop?”


    Suddenly, the ground beneath them began to descend. After going about seven feet into the ground, the car continued driving forward.


    “We’ve already entered the base. We should be there in about three minutes,” Bemy exined.


    Ste took a deep breath nervously and looked ahead.


    Bemy looked at her slowly. There was still a foolish longing for her in his heart.


    Perhaps, she really did not belong to him…


    The car stopped and Ste got out immediately. She nced ahead anxiously.


    “You may go in,” Bemy said in a deep voice.


    Ste rushed forward. There was a long corridor in front of her when she pushed the door open,


    In the distance, she spotted someone who looked like a doctor.


    Ste ran across the corridor.


    At the end of it, the doctor, Skye, opened the door for her.


    Ste walked in and immediately saw Jasper lying on the hospital bed.


    The machine showed that his heart was still beating.


    A smile spread across Ste’s face, but she brushed it off immediately, fearing that none of this was real.


    Step by step, she walked over to him slowly, as though she was afraid that it was all a dream that would disappear the second she made any big movements.


    Finally, she walked close to the window and stared longingly at the man on the bed. Tears started streaming down her face as she watched him quietly.


    It really was Jasper Milton.


    Ste cried tears of joy. She knelt on the ground, grabbed Jasper’s hand, and ced it on her face.


    She was holding his broad hand, the hand that was covered with calluses from countless hours of hard work.


    A wave of emotions swarmed through her and she couldn’t say a word. Closing her eyes, she kissed Jasper’s hand gently.


    Master Olgic had said that the end would also be the beginning. Finally, she understood what it meant.


    “Jasper.”


    When she opened her mouth, she found that her voice was hoarse. “I’m here. I’m sorry that I’mte, I’m sorry.”


    Jaspery motionlessly on the bed. He didn’t respond or speak.


    However, she knew that he was there, and that he could hear her voice.


    She leaned against his chest and listened to the thumping of his heartbeat. It was the most beautiful sound she had ever heard.


    Bemy stood at the door with tears in his eyes. He watched the two people in front of him for a long time.


    They were in their own world, unbothered by anything around them.


    It felt as though his presence was unnecessary.


    Bemy instructed the person next to him, “Arrange afortable bed for her in the ward. From now on, she’ll handle everything rted to Jasper. We must find a way to save him.”


    Having said that, Bemy didn’t enter the room, he just turned around and walked away. The light in his eyes became dimmer and dimmer.


    Perhaps, he was destined to be alone…


    Afterposing herself, Ste refused to leave Jasper’s side. Wiping away her tears, her hand still held onto his.


    “Jasper, Christian is dead, even Quinn is dead. Your brother is going to be the President. From now on, no one could hurt us. We’ll be able to live as happily as we want. There’s no need for us to run and hide anymore,” Ste told him everything he had missed out on.


    Jasper continued toy still on the bed.


    The sockets of her eyes turned red again.


    She shouldn’t be crying. Atthe very least, he was still alive. For her, that was already a miracle on its own.


    A soft smile once again appeared across her face.


    “It doesn’t matter. No matter where you are, I’ll always be with you.


    If you’re in the hospital, I’ll be by your bed. Once you’re awake, I’ll follow you everywhere. If you fall, I fall.Belongs to (N)?vel/Drama.Org.


    Do you still remember the time when we first met? You said that you’d protect me. Well, I can’t protect you, but I’ll look after you,” Ste said with tears in her eyes.


    A wave of memories crashed into her mind.


    When she was kidnapped, he rescued her and sent her home safely.


    When Frederick abducted her, he rushed over and brought her home.


    When Steven abducted her and cut off her pinky finger, he cut off his own so that they would be the same.


    When the both of them were in danger together, he sacrificed himselfin order to save her.


    All of this had happened a long time ago, but the memories were still vivid in her mind.


    Ste took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down as much as possible. She didn’t want to worry him, so she said in a light and lively tone, “Do you still remember thatke in the manor? We went fishing there before.I went fishing there often after you left.I even managed to catch a few fishes.”


    As she said this, she recalled the Dark Shadow. She thought about how Anthony had betrayed her, and her mood dampened slightly.


    It felt as though she had found someone she could rant to. Ste was not as calm as she was before.


    She was despondent and she felt very betrayed, but she didn’t want to hide these emotions from him. Laying on his chest, she sobbed hard.


    Ste wanted to use all of her strength to summon Jasper to awaken.


    However, he had been shot in the head. How was he supposed to rely on her will to wake up?


    She was certain that Jasper would be upset that he couldn’t wake up too.


    Laying on his chest, she whispered through her tears, “It’s fine, you’ve been through so much. It’s good if you could get some rest for now. Don’t worry, I’ll be right here with you.”


    Still, she was crying so much. Ste was certain he could tell that she didn’t mean it.


    She burst out intoughter.


    When sheughed, her eyes swept over his motionless body, and she couldn’t help but break down again.


    She cried one moment, thenughed the next. It was as though she had gone mad.


    She was both happy and sad. She had a lot of things to say to him, but she couldn’tpose herself,and her mind was everywhere.


    She was starting to get tired from all the crying.Her head began to feel heavy, so she leaned on Jasper’s body and dozed off.


    Skye walked in and found Ste asleep, so he reported this to Bemy.


    When Bemy walked in, he noticed Skye had set up a bed for Ste.


    He picked up Ste gently, ced her on the bed, and covered her with the quilt. As he watched her sleep, he made up his mind.


    Bemy said to the doctor, “She’s pregnant,so you need to buy some things for her, and provide her with good food. I’ll be leaving in a while.Let me know if anythinges up.”


    “Yes, Mr. Chuck.”


    …


    The first thing Ste saw when she woke up was the white ceiling. The first person to cross her mind was Jasper.


    She suddenly sat up, worried that it had all been a dream. Seeing Jasper still lying on the hospital bed, she breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the time on her phone. It was 5 a. m.


    She had fallen asleep for quite a while, so her emotions were more stable now.


    Getting up, she walked to his bed.


    Skye came in and prepared to hang an IV drip for Jasper.


    After ncing at the IV drip, Ste asked Skye, “Is there a kitchen around here?”


    …
