"But..." Christian Saltzman still wanted to say something, but Sean Yaleman shot a stern glare at him. Christian shut up immediately. Sean stood up first and walked toward the entrance. The guards opened the door and he disappeared from their vision. Stella Grace could finally relax. She looked at Jasper Milton and rushed toward him. She was already prepared for the worst. She didn't expect that Bettany Hadley would really turn against Frederick Addington in the end. Jasper jumped out from the dock and hugged Stella. "Jasper," Stella called in a choked voice. "I'm here," Jasper replied. He lowered his head and kissed her forehead. She really liked the way he said those two words. She felt that he could warm her heart and even her whole body despite the cold winter. She hugged him tightly and tears of joy flowed down from her eyes. Jasper wiped her tears and said softly, "You didn't sleep yesterday, did you?"
Stella Grace breathed a sigh of relief, "Sean doesn't want anything to happen to you either. He needs you to balance out the power of Christian." "Christian is arrogant and domineering, Sean could no longer suppress him. Once Christian gets elected to become President in the next two years, Sean will be the first to suffer," Jasper Milton analyzed. "So, it was the best choice for Eli to leave. With her character, she is not suitable to be involved in political struggles." Stella sighed and looked at Jasper gloomily. It was not the right time to say these words now. After all, his comrades were coming over. If she were to ask him to leave with her, the gathering would become a gloomy farewell. It was better to talk about it after they got back. Jasper held Stella's hand tightly and they looked at each other. Thousands of words remained in silence. He wanted her to leave so that he could protect her, but he knew that she would not listen to him. If she
Stella Grace slept in Jasper's arms and had a dream. In her dream, she and Jasper were on the boat. Jasper had brought her to an island, which was safe. The island was very pretty and peaceful, but there was no one else on it. She dreamed that Jasper was leaving. She pleaded him for him to stay. However, when she woke up the next day, he still left. Stella watched as he sailed away. She felt sad and lonely. She didn't have the courage to live any longer, so she walked into the sea slowly. She felt as though her heart had been cut into pieces. She opened her eyes and her face was drenched with tears. She saw Jasper still lying next to her. He was still fast asleep. It seemed that he was really exhausted. She stared at him for a long time. The sky eventually grew dark. Jasper woke up gradually and saw Stella looking at him. He smiled slightly and asked, "Are you awake?" "Jasper, let's leave this place, okay?" Stella said s
Jasper Milton made a phone call. While they were having dinner, he asked the helicopter from the military base to pick him up. At this moment, Stella Grace seemed to have thought of something, "Jasper, according to Christian's habits, if he couldn't handle someone, he will assassinate that person. So, don't let him find out about your routine. If you are not in a hurry, you'd better drive to the military base today. You have to change your routine every day. You could arrange for a few more helicopters. The other party won't be able to tell which one you're in, so they won't take action casually." Jasper nodded, "That's a good idea." "If possible, you should leave through the underground tunnel that only you and a few trusted men know about. Moreover, the tunnel is unimpeded and it will save you on journey time. When you become the President in the future, there will be a lot of people who want to kill you. These safety features are necessary," Stella reminded him.
Stella Grace was stunned. To be honest, she did not believe that Frederick would help her at all. However, he was one of Christian Saltzman's men. With Frederick's help, they would be more powerful than Christian, and together, they would be able to defeat him. But.. why was Frederick willing to help them? This was unlike him at all. If he truly was Christian's men, he would try to harm them instead. However, that did not seem right either. If Frederick had wanted to harm them, he would not have saved Jasper. After all, Jasper would have been sentenced to death without his assistance. Jasper's reputation would be ruined too. She trusted Frederick a little more now. "What do you require of me?" Stella asked. Frederick was silent for a while. He then took a deep breath, "If I die, would you come to the cemetery and visit me?" Stella lowered her eyes and remained quiet, Her long eyelashes blocked the emotion in her eyes, "I think
"Who did you say is in heaven?" Stella Grace asked while frowning. "What are you talking about? I just saw him. What's wrong with all of you?" Stella was enraged. It was fine if they didn't want to help her to find Jasper. However, she could not tolerate them spouting nonsense. She pushed Lynette away. "Madam, you know it. The Chief died in front of you. It was Adviser Lanes who killed him. However, Adviser Lanes committed suicide after that. Have you forgotten all of it?" Lynette was bawling her eyes out while explaining. The image of Jasper being shot through his head flashed across Stella's mind, making her stumble back a few steps. No, she didn't believe them. None of them wished her well. It was not easy for her to finally be with Jasper. Jasper wanted to leave with her at first. Yet, he stayed to bear all of the responsibilities in order to protect everyone. Life had a cruel sense of humor. It was distressing. What was
Stella Grace looked at Doctor Adam in confusion and asked, "Jasper, what do you mean? I'm not mentally ill. I have been cured. I promise." "I'm not Mr. Milton. I'm a doctor," Doctor Adam explained. Stella's heart skipped a beat. She lowered her eyes and stopped talking. Then, she removed the quilt slowly. "I see. Thank you, Doctor Adam. Is she fine otherwise?" Suzi inquired worriedly. "Her body is weak and her heartbeat is irregular. The instability of her mood is not good for the baby as well. I will prescribe some medicine to nourish the baby," Doctor Adam concluded. "Thank you," Suzi saw Doctor Adam out. She then turned around and held Stella's freezing hand. "Stella, I know that you are devastated. I know that you love Jasper with all your heart. But he is dead now. You have to take care of yourself well, alright? You still have his child in your belly. Do you think that he would be able to rest in peace if you were to continue like this?" Suzi s
Stella Grace gave a call to Frederick Addington. However, Frederick declined the call. She held her mobile phone, seemingly lost in thought. The phone's screen soon lit up with a text notification. She realized that it was from Frederick, so she read the text immediately. "I'm busy now, I will call you back in a minute." "Natalie, you haven't eaten anything for a few days. I'm going to prepare some food for you. Please take care of yourself," Suzi Shine said worriedly. Stella looked at Suzi, "Mom, I haven't eaten anything for the past few days, so I won't be able to eat much." "Okay, I'll cook a light meal for you now," Suzi then turned around. "Mom, please do not tell anyone that Jasper is still alive, not even Auntie Wood," Stella reminded her once again, worried. Suzi nodded, "I know." Stella lifted the quilt, then took her clothes and cell phone. She was afraid that she would miss a phone call from Frederick when she was i
