"Bring Anthea along. She's pretty good at looking after kids, and she's familiar with Sandro. If anything happens to Jasper, she'll be able to deal with it at once." "That's a great idea. It will put me at ease too," Stella agreed happily. "You don't have to worry about the others. I'll let them carry on their research at the base. There's just one more thing. Mom is inquiring about your whereabouts persistently. She asked me why I chose to marry someone else. I didn't dare to tell her the truth previously. I only told her that you went to study abroad. Will you come back to visit Mom with Jasper this time?" Bellamy asked. Stella looked at Jasper and asked, "Are we going back to visit Mom this time?" Jasper nodded, "Yes, we must." "Yes," Stella answered. "We'll go back to see Mom this time. How about tonight? We are leaving soon and we will be there by noon. I'll go fishing by the lake and we will get to have fish soup for dinner. The fish this year should
Stella disregarded him. She walked past him to play with Sandro. "Say a word and I will willingly return to be your follower," Elvis said to Jasper while giving him a salute. "Aren't you proud of being a sergeant currently? The President trusts you very much. Being a follower? Who are you kidding?" Lynette retorted in an enigmatic tone. Stella looked at Elvis and said, "Just continue to work under the President. Don't repeat your mistakes and betray your leader twice. The President is your Chief's brother. Being loyal to him is the same as being loyal to the Chief." "I..." Elvis wanted to explain but he hesitated. He scratched his head and said, "I'm feeling quite ashamed. Knowing that the Chief is alive, I wish to follow him." "Sweet words. However, the Chief dares not accept you as a follower anymore," Lynette replied sardonically. "There's no difference even if you follow him," Jasper responded simply. Elvis lowered his eyes. He felt very g
Bellamy looked at Jasper approaching him. He couldn't help but feel a little nervous. He cracked a smile. "We will leave in a few days. Thank you for your help. It must have been hard for you," Jasper said in a deep voice. "Somehow, you sound like the older one when you speak even though I'm the eldest here," Bellamy responded with a smile. Jasper stared intently into Bellamy's eyes. "If anything happens to me, take care of her." The sudden statement wiped the smile off Bellamy's face. He examined Jasper as he replied, "Nothing will happen to you. Don't spout nonsense. You came out safe and sound from the disaster. I wager luck is with you." Jasper hesitated. In the end, he did not speak further. He went back and continued fishing. Bellamy stared at Jasper with perplexity. Although they were twins, he couldn't understand Jasper at all. Jasper emitted a silent vibe that made his hair stood on end. He sat beside Jasper and announced
"The United States has already published the news, but Boris remained hidden. A Country has also shared the message and Boris did not appear either. If he doesn't emerge despite all our efforts, there is a high chance that he is either dead or he will never appear again," Bellamy reported solemnly. "I must find him. You have conducted research on the virus and antidote in secret, haven't you?" Stella asked, choking back on her tears. Bellamy could tell that something was amiss. He turned to look at her. Stella's eyes turned redder, but her gaze remained determined. It was evident that she had been crying. "Yes I have, but what's wrong? Jasper, is he..." Bellamy refused to think about it. "I promised him that I would not give up and fall into despair even if he died. However, I want to do the best I can," Stella forced a smile and responded. Tears streamed down her face. "What's wrong with Jasper?" Bellamy asked with a grave tone. "He wis
"Let me correct that statement. Our relationship was the only scheme that succeeded in which I wished for success," Sean retorted, a smile plastered on his face. Stella was startled. Staring at his handsome features, she asked, "Are you really willing to give up your fame and position?" She was still doubtful regarding Sean's true intentions. "I never wanted to be the President. I did it for the sake of my family. I didn't have a choice. When I was the President, I was forced to marry someone I didn't love and I hurt the person I hold dear. Do you think that Eli will play the role of the President's wife? Her freedom will be restricted. She will be miserable and under a lot of stress every day. The immense pressure will drive her crazy," Sean explained. "I think that Bellamy is currently walking the same path you did." "He's going to wed the daughter of McCarthy family?" Sean guessed. "Nothing seems to escape your attention. What do you suggest?" Stella as
"I know. It's already very late, let's sleep," Jasper said softly. Stella smiled and responded, "Alright." ...... She couldn't get a proper night's sleep as her mind was clouded with thoughts. She was terrified that he would leave suddenly or something would happen to him. She woke up often at night, only to fall into slumber again upon registering that he was still by her side. In the morning, she was roused by the sound of him getting up. She sat up and looked at him. "Morning." Jasper's skin was so pale that it was near translucent. He nodded his head in response and dashed into the washroom. She heard him turning on the faucet quickly and the sound of water flowing. Stella couldn't stop herself from trembling from head to toe. She felt a griping pain in her heart, but she dare not look because she was afraid that the scene would give her a mental breakdown. However, she feared that something might have already happened to Jasper in her ab
"I've discussed with him after giving the idea some thought. I feel that you shouldn't be responsible for this matter. Only Jasper could escape unscathed after handing over the biological weapons," Bellamy said in a low voice. "How will he escape unscathed? Will those people let him go as long as he hands over the biological weapons? No way," Stella was anxious. "I'll do my best to protect him." "If you want to protect him, why did you let him go alone? Do you know the risks associated? Back then, Boris escaped right out of their hand. There is no way they will allow Jasper to escape from them so easily this time. Do you want to see him die? Compared to letting him die in this mission, I would rather stay by his side for another year and watch him die due to his illness! Bellamy, why did you reveal our plans to him? Why did you tell him although we have agreed to keep it a secret? Why are you doing this?" Stella was extremely upset. "Stella, b
"He won't return. Am I right?" Stella asked softly. "Jasper knew what he wanted ever since he was a child and he will achieve it on his own accord. He didn't need to work so hard. With help from his father, life would have been much easier, but he refused. He started from a soldier in the special forces and became a general without any help," Suzi replied. "He is a headstrong person who only listens to himself regardless of what others think, whether it's right or wrong. He treats his family and his lover the same. He feels that he is responsible for his friends, the military base, the country, and even the world. However, he owes his family and lover," Stella snapped. "Perhaps to him, those he loves are all part of him." "So we deserve to suffer when he leaves us?" Stella's eyes turned red again. It was bloodshot red. Suzi held Stella's hand. "I understand your rage. You waited for him for so long. He left because he didn't want you to worry."
