Jasper looked at Ste in surprise. “Da-gu-ba..”


    He still couldn’t speak properly.


    Ste could more or less tell what he wanted to say, so she replied, “Yes, your father predicted that something would happen. When your mother gave birth to the both of you, he had someone bring your brother away. Now that Christian and Quinn are dead, he…” Ste looked towards Bemy.


    “I’m the President now, I’ve fulfilled our father’s wish. You may wish to relinquish this burden and spend the rest of your life with your wife, Jasper,” Bemy took over the exining.


    Jasper looked deeply into Bemy’s eyes.Belongs to (N)?vel/Drama.Org.


    Even with Jasper and Bemy standing side by side, Ste could still tell the two apart with just one nce.


    Jasper’s eyes sunk even further. His body gave off a cold, distant aura.


    Bemy was more unpredictable. He was more free-spirited and he smiled a lot. Nobody could figure out what his next move would be.


    “Has it been a year since you’ve been appointed?” Ste asked subconsciously.


    Bemy knew that she was asking about Sean. He shook his head and said, “There’s still half a year left. I might marry the daughter of the McCarthy family from M Country. What are your thoughts on that?”


    Ste replied bluntly, “It doesn’t matter what I think. It won’t change your mind anyway. You’ve already made that decision a long time ago. Everybody has their own preference. Some people only want power, others want love, some just need their family. There are some of us who just want to live their lives in a simple manner,while some like it to be full of adventure that even when they pass away, they’d want it to be eventful.”


    Bemy was an opinionated man, no one could make him change his mind. Moreover, once he made a decision, even if it was wrong, he would ignore everything and carry on.


    “Yes, the wedding will be in May. Will you guys be able to attend it?” Bemy asked thoughtfully.


    “That depends on you. Are you nning to live your life as Bemy Chuck, or carry on living as Jasper Milton?” Ste asked.


    “Bemy Chuck, I’ve always been Bemy. Now that Jasper is awake, I won’t need to lie to my mother anymore,” Bemy said with certainty.


    The thing he disliked the most was being someone’s substitute.


    “We’ll think about it.I don’t wish to appear in public anymore.I just want to live my life like a normal person. From now on, it’s up to you to continue fighting for our country,” The volume of Ste’s voice dropped drastically.


    “Could you and Jaspere and help out for the wedding? We’re family after all.”


    From the look in his eyes and the tone in his voice, Ste could tell that things hadn’t been going his way these days. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be marrying the daughter of the McCarthy family for the power.


    She couldn’t reject him straight away. After all, Bemy was the one who saved Jasper.


    “We’ll talk about this after Jasper recovers. Have you eaten yet?” Ste changed the topic.


    “No, I came here once I heard that Jasper was awake,” Bemy said.


    “Give me a few more minutes. Once I’m done feeding Jasper, I’ll make some pasta for you. Don’t worry, it’ll only take me a few minutes,” Ste said.


    “Let me feed him,” Bemy said as he snatched the bowl from Ste’s hand forcefully.


    Ste paused for a moment. No matter what, Bemy still treated Jasper very well.


    She turned around and went to the kitchen to prepare the food for Bemy. While doing so, she also wanted to ask Skye about Jasper’s condition.


    Just as she stepped into the kitchen, Skye came looking for her.


    “How is Jasper?” Ste asked directly, her tone slightly anxious.


    “Everything seems normal, the only problem is his head. When the bullet passed through, it may have damaged the temporal lobe of his brain which controls his speech. Essentially, he could understand what we’re saying, but he couldn’t form proper sentences,” Skye reported.


    “Is there anything else?”


    “We haven’t detected anything else for the time being,” Skye replied with much concern.


    With a pot of water on the stove, Ste turned on the gas and lit a fire. She was a lot calmer than what Skye had predicted. “So, he can’t talk, but there are still a lot of other ways he could express himself. He could write or use signnguage. Jasper knows a lot of signnguage, it’s just that his hands haven’t recoveredpletely yet. Could you guys repair that part of his brain?”


    “We can’t do anything here, butthey managed to treat Boriswhen he became brain-dead from multiple gunshot wounds. I think that the secret research team could heal him,” Skye said.


    “At least there’s still hope. Just put him on physiotherapy for the time being. Don’t tell Jasper any of this. By the way, does Bemy know about this?” Ste asked.


    “Yes, I told him once he arrived.”


    “Why did he ask us for help then?” Ste was puzzled.


    “Well, to be exact, he needs your help. It’s no longer the same out there. Many powerful people popped up like mushrooms after the rain. He doesn’t know how to defend himself against them, neither could he take action against them legally.” Skye sighed in dismay.


    Ste had foreseen this. “When Bemy was appointed so suddenly, he barely knew the basics of running a country. Even in Sean’s case, he learned a lot from Asher, and he had three years to strengthen his government, yet he was easily defeated by Bemy. There’s always someone more capable than you. With every generation, there’ll be more talented people showing up to rece the old ones.”


    “Can’t you help Mr. Chuck out? After all, he is Mr. Milton’s brother. Everything here was specially built for Mr. Milton,” Skye pleaded for Bemy’s case.


    “I don’t want to get involved in politics anymore. I don’t care if you think I’m selfish or I’m letting my talent go to waste, I know what I want to do with my life. Besides, I’ve given him 1. 2 billion dors. I’m sure that the cost of supporting this whole ce isn’t even that much, so I have nothing to feel guilty about.”


    Skye was speechless.


    “I see. We’ll do our best anyway,” Skye promised.


    “Thank you,”Ste continued to cook lunch for Bemy.


    In the ward.


    Jasper was not used to being fed by others, so he stopped eating.


    Bemy looked at Jasper with a smile. “You’re very thin. You’re much skinnier than me.”


    Jasper blinked in reply.


    Bemy’s smile became even brighter. “I guess we really are different. You brat, don’t you know that I’m your older brother?”


    Jasper nodded.


    Bemy was speechless.


    All he could do was force a smile. Then, he took a deep breath and put on a serious face.


    “Before all of this, I often dreamed of Ste because of you. At that time, Ste and I didn’t know each other, but she kept showing up in my dreams. Later on, after verifying it, I realized that many of my dreams were memories the both of you shared. When you were unconscious, did you dream of me and Ste?” Bemy asked doubtfully.


    Jasper stared at Bemy intently. Itlooked like a lot was going on in his mind. A dark storm brewed behind his dark eyes.


    Seeing this, Bemy started bing nervous. Back then, he wanted to sleep with Ste.


    Jasper nodded.


    “Did you really dream of it?” Bemy asked in surprise.


    Jasper continued to nod his head.
