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."
She would rather end her life than die of insanity like her mother. However, she would still be left with nothing, even if everything ended. There was no love in this chase, no destination in mind... Perhaps, the best solution would be to hypnotize herself. She succeeded once, so she should be able to perform it a second time. She wished to forget about Jasper and everything related to him, including Sandro through the hypnotism. Only by ending the source of her agony could she be no longer in distress. Anthea realized that something was off with Stella and she brought Sandro to play in the room. She stared at the clock on the wall as time passed. She remained motionless like a sculpture, ignoring her surrounding completely. Seeing Stella's anguish made Suzi worried. She approached Stella again and said, "Don't wait anymore. It's almost noon. You didn't eat anything since the day before and you were awake the entire night. Your bod
Suzi knew that both Stella and Jasper were of the same kind. It was useless for others to intervene in their decisions. They were more rational and intelligent than anyone else. They could foresee how the event would unravel and view the current situation from a different perspective. She entered Stella's room and reminded her, "After you leave, remember to take care of yourself. Nothing is more important than your health." "Mom, you must take care of yourself as well," Stella responded sincerely. "I will take good care of Sandro. Don't worry. When you are tired of wandering, you can return anytime. I will wait for you," With her eyes red, Suzi turned her face away. She wiped her tears and left Stella's room. Stella shifted her gaze to the door and tears coursed down her cheeks. She would never return. Even if Jasper came back alive, she would never return. She was exhausted. The relationship had drained all of her energy, even her will.
