Chapter 408: You Guys Are Not Alone
When he sees her interaction with Dan, he feels surprisingly bitter.
He is probably envious of Dan who is able to be loved by her and hug her at such close proximity. On
the other hand, he can only hide himself and steal nces at her secretly
The Gilbert family has passed down a saying that prevents them from bing another person’s
weakness, including their closest rtives.
There is a reason Jack can use his unknown younger sister to threaten him.
This is because all he ever wanted is freedom, the right to stand under the sunlight, the right to be seen
by her. It doesn’t matter if he can only be one of her friends.
Ryan has always known that he’s not as harmless as seen in the eyes of Jamie.
He’s selfish, cold-blooded, and in order to reach his goals he will use any means necessary.
“You were adorable when you were young.” After remaining silent for some time, Ryanments on
her while looking at Jamie without hiding his tenderness.
Jamie is stunned by his stare, she twitches her mouth but no words areing.
“Your mother’sst mission for me is to protect you at all cost. But in the end, I have betrayed her trust,
and let you experience harm again and again.”
“When you were in Ennd, it was my doing by targeting bunny and you, especially that close call on
the road, that’s also because of me sending someone to do that.”
“After returning to the country, I have turned into Hooson. I can see the sense of familiarity in your
eyes. Actually, I am quite happy that you’ve discovered my true identity. Indeed, there are simrities
between Hooson and me, but about me bumping into you, I have done that purposely.”
Jamie is so shell shocked that she can’t say anything at the moment as images flood her mind. So it
turns out that everything has been nned beforehand.
“Do you still remember when you fell from the hanging wire and it was me who had saved you?” Ryan’s
voice is very soft like a feather lightly brushes through the air, but for Jamie it is as heavy as the lead.
Jamie could never forget that time. She has been feeling sorry for him and not knowing how to repay
his kindness. She owes him her life now because he was willing to put himself in danger when saving
her.
She never doubts that it is all a well-nned conspiracy, an unbelievable fraud.
“That was all my doing, to put on a show in front of you. It was all to gain your trust, so that there would
be no room for distrust…”

He is still in the middle of his sentence, but suddenly his face cocks to one side, his hair is slightly
messy now, and a red imprint is slowly forming on his pale cheeks.
Jamie is biting her lips hard, as if this can lessen her sadness and suffering. Her hand that has just
pped Ryan is hanging in midair, before slowly falling down. Her eyes are full of anger and
disappointment.
“You have done so much, and you even used your life to gain my trust, do you think this is funny?” Her
tone is no longer gentle, and it is tinged with ice and fury.
Ryan is not surprised at her hitting him. He calmly turns his head towards her, and maintains his smile
while looking at her, “Being angry is not good for your pregnancy.”
“If you don’t want to see me angry, you can get lost now.” Jamie res at him coldly while handing
down the ultimatum.
“You must have never guessed what I have done to you all along using the identities of Ryan and
Hooson. Every move by me is purposeful. You would never have guessed that this was all nned
meticulously. I always ask myself, why things woulde to this, when I am the one who doesn’t want
to hurt you the most; when I am the one who wants to protect you the most.”
“But every time, I have some part to y in your pain and sufferings.”
He smiles like usual, as smooth as the jade, but there is a hint of sadness mixed within the smile.
“How could I hurt you? Things shouldn’te to this. You are thest person I would have hurt in this
world.” When hees to this, he can’t help but cover his face with his palms, his shoulders slightly
shuddering now.
Then, Jamie sees a stream of tears flowing down his cheeks, and they end up on the clean and tiny
bed sheet.
It would be lie to say that she’s not stunned. In Jamie’s memory, she has never seen him crying, as if
he is always the gentle and calm person he used to be.

This is the first time that she has seen him losing control like this.
Her pink lips are pressed into a line, then Jamie slowly replies him, “There is no way to reverse the
suffering, what’s done is done. Even if you regret your actions, even if you feel sorry for me.”
“The pain and scars inflicted on my body will never cease to exist.”
Ryan trembles violently, as if he’s being given a wake-up call.
“I used to think that you are my best friend in the world. It’s been my pleasure to know you, not only
because you have helped me, but more importantly I can feel your sincerity towards me.”
“I never imagine that this friendship is also a conspiracy by you, this friendship was never real.” Jamie’s
eyes darken, and a cold breeze is sweeping through her empty heart.
She looks up and sees Ryan who is petrified by her and says with rity, “Ryan, nobody ever forces
you to do all of these, as well as hurting me, it was all you’re doing, yours alone.”
“Jack will never send someone to hurt me even if he wants to get the Myth ring from me. He would gain
nothing if something has happened to me.” Jamie continues.
“Even if he wants to do something to me, he can just cancel my credit card, and leave me powerless in
a foreign country. As for you, I don’t think Jack knows that you have done all of these either.”
When she saw the documents from Dan, she naturally doubt the credibility of it. But now that she has
given it a careful thought, and connects the sea jump incident and what happened in B country,
suddenly everything seems possible to her.
Ryan’s bbergasted face slowly returns to his normal expression as he listens quietly to her while
clenching his fists.
“And what are you aiming for by doing all of these? You are not by any means controlled by Jack, but
you are willing to act as his pawn, watching him hurt me, my loved ones and my family.”
As she continues, Jamie’s eyes are full of mncholy, and her gaze slowly transforms into a stranger’s
eyes, “Ryan, admit it. You have be a twisted man. You are no longer that kind big brother who
would always try to make meugh and stop me from crying. You heart is even more wicked than
Jack’s.”
“That big brother in my memory always carries himself with maturity, with eyes so pure and clear. Now,
your eyes are beyond muddy.”
Both of them should be the same person, and each personality could be identified easily, but Jamie
would never have thought that they are the same person.
One is in the light, while the other has sunken into darkness. It is hard to believe they are both the
same person.
Ryan is no longer the Night. 9, the Night. 9 that she knows has be part of her irretrievable
memories.
