Chapter 149 Stay on the Ind
She could no longer see his expression clearly, but she felt that the man was smiling.
After speaking, he coldly looked to John beside him and asked, "Is the speedboat not ready yet?"
He would never let Avery leave. As soon as he finished speaking, his vision darkened, and his body
suddenly copsed.
After days of sleeplessness, not eating or drinking, coupled with a high fever, it was not unexpected for
Jacob to copse.
John sighed helplessly as he watched the speedboat gradually drift away.
"Mrs. Hill, run away."
Jacob''s words kept echoing in her mind. Even though the speedboat had already gone far away, her
body still felt cold.
She sat motionless in a curled-up position as if her soul had been drained out.
Frank squatted in front of her and handed her a cup of coffee, which only had a little warmth left. "If
you''re scared, I can take you back."
Avery took a sip, and the sweetness dispelled some of the darkness in her heart.
"I don''t want to go back." Avery tightly gripped the cup, feeling pitiful like an abandoned puppy.
"He will lock me up and not let me leave that room," she said.
Frank furrowed his brows, looking somewhat puzzled.
"Why does he have such a strong possessiveness towards you, even though he has found someone
new?"
"Rather than possessiveness, it''s more about hatred. He believes that my father caused the death of
his sister, but isn''t he also involved in what my father has be today?"
Avery felt so sad that she couldn''t breathe. "I shouldn''t have targeted his son. In the end, I not only
failed to harm him but also put myself in danger. I''m truly useless."
Originally, she wanted to make Jacob suffer for the rest of his life, but she didn''t expect to put herself in

danger for Ethan. These past few days, she even managed to make Ethan gain weight.
"I''m just a useless person who messes things up. I should have perished with him instead of being
tormented by his nightmares even after leaving him."
Frank reached out and touched her head, his eyes filled with pity.
"You are a kind and good girl. You did nothing wrong. It''s this world that treats you unfairly."
Even though he was usually extremely cold, his voice was warm at the moment.
"Don''t worry; our ind is not easy for him to find. This archipgo has hundreds of inds. Even if he
manages to find us, the people on our ind are very united. As long as we hide you well, he will never
find you in his lifetime. Over time, he will naturally forget about you."
Would it really be like that?
Whenever Avery closed her eyes, she could only see Jacob''s eyes filled with hostility.
"Ah!"
Avery woke up again in the middle of the night. It had been two days since she left Jacob, but she still
had nightmares every night.
Every night, she dreamt of running endlessly, unable to escape Jacob''s clutches.
He followed her like a shadow, transforming into a poisonous snake that tightly coiled around her.
Avery looked at the pitch-ck room, with the sound of waves crashing against rocks echoing in her
ears.
Although she had returned to a peaceful ind, why was she still unable to control the fear that Jacob
brought her?
Even though Isabe had gone back to his hometown during the holiday and Jacob couldn''t pose a
threat to her, Avery still couldn''t sleep.
The reason she wanted to stay on the ind was to cut off all ties with Jacob and to uncover the ns
of the person behind the scenes.
That person in Astrie knew her every move. While hiding there without Jacob''s knowledge, once she
endured this period, that person would lower his guard. She could secretly return to Astrie to uncover
everything, catching him off guard.
