Angeline suddenly felt as if a thunderstorm had struck her. She was so petrified that she stood still in the same spot. She was afraid of Chloe, and it was now an instinctive reaction. The muscles in Chloe’s face had atrophied, and she was staring at Angeline fiercely with her pair of withered-looking eyes. Angeline was so horrified it was as if she had seen a ghost.“Mom,” she called out while trembling.“I’ve given the jade to Judy, Angeline. Hence, that’s Judy’s private property. You’re not qualified to ask for it back.” Chloe sat on the wheelchair, oozing with a frightening aura.Angeline explained in a low voice, “Mom, my name’s engraved on the jade jewelry. There are also strands of my and Jaybie’s hair inside of it. It’s not an appropriate gift for Judy. I’ll give another one that looks exactly the same to her next time, okay?”Chloe sneered and said, “Jay’s hair is inside? That’s great. If the jade is given to Judy, that means Jay and Judy will grow old together.”She
Josie hugged her and wailed. “You scared me to death, Sis Angeline.”Angeline sat up weakly and said wearily, “I think I’ve gotten my grandfather’s disease.”Josie widened her eyes in horror. “What did you say?”Angeline’s eyes appeared tearful. “Before my grandfather was paralyzed, he would have repeated fevers and panic attacks because of emotional issues.”Josie started crying. “What should we do? I think your illness will only get worse if you stay in Yorks Stronghold, Sis Angeline. How about you return to the capital as soon as possible? Without Chloe around to trigger you, your emotions wouldn’t be fluctuating so badly.”Angeline gave it a thought and nodded.Once Angeline returned to Green Plum Town, she had another fever. Angeline reacted as always and quickly pulled out the medicine box to take the bottle of ibuprofen.Jay came home a little later.When he saw Angeline standing in front of the French window, her slender figure looking so lonely, Jay felt distressed and
Jay was frightened, fearing that Monster’s vicious plan was getting his revenge using Angeline’s body.He must find out about this matter as soon as possible.Hence, early in the morning, Jay went to a small bamboo house on the top of Mount Pearl.When Master Zack saw Jay, he was no longer as hostile as the first time he saw him since Master Zack was rather fond of him and admired this God-given apprentice.Jay’s strategies and ability to plan victory from thousands of miles away, saving hundreds of thousands of Yorks Stronghold citizens, was not in the least an inferior achievement compared to his oldest apprentice, Zechariah. Zack admired his incredible talent and courage.Seeing Jay, his face that was covered in frost all year round had melted into a smile.“My disciple, why are you here?” Zack stood up from his stool and stopped his martial arts practice. He looked at Jay happily.Jay’s handsome face, however, was dark and shrouded in ice.“Where’s Monster?” Jay inquired.
However, Monster’s anger was quickly frozen over by Jay’s cold, icy air.“What are you doing here?” Although Monster was a battered down prisoner, his whole body exuded the kind of loftiness that was not at all inferior to Jay.Jay sat on the chair in front of him in a cross-legged manner. His handsome, unparalleled face was looking at Monster’s face quietly.His eyebrows were thin, and his peach blossom-shaped eyes were long and wide. When his eyelids were raised, there was an unruly stubborn temperament in them. His eyes looked as bright as a teenager’s, exuding extraordinary charm.However, when his eyelids were slightly closed, he appeared extraordinarily noble and proud. When coupled with his naturally cold temperament, he gave off the air of a monarch.He continued to stare at Monster coldly without saying a word. A sense of chilliness was constantly permeating out of his eyes.In terms of psychological quality, Monster’s was probably not as good as Jay’s.Time was ticking
The dark clouds hovering over Jay dissipated.It turned out that Angeline’s recent physical discomfort was not a reaction to any poisoning, but it resulted from her relapsing anxiety disorder.Although neither of them was the ending he wanted, in comparison, he felt that an anxiety disorder would perhaps not take Angeline’s life. Hence, it was easier for him to accept it.Jay looked at Monster profoundly. Since Monster had Boye’s research results in his hands, he had to find ways to coax the materials over so that Angeline’s incurable disease could be cured.“Tell me your conditions,” Jay said faintly.Monster outright refused him. “Do you think I’ll let you have what you want? Jay Ares, I’m the only person in this world who wants you to live the most agonizingly painful life. Do you really think that I’ll willingly provide you the medication that can cure Angeline?”Jay was puzzled. “Why do you hate me so much?”Monster’s reddened pupils were immediately filled with flames of h
Jay blamed him, saying, “You regret it, don’t you? You regret giving her such a cruel and inhumane order. You’re her birth father, Monster. Yet you allowed her to die while pledging her loyalty to the military intelligence division. What right do you have to control her destiny?”Monster roared in sorrow. “Do you really think I wanted her to die? I merely don’t want her to end up like me.”Monster was struggling, and the hemp rope was causing wounds on his arms.Jay retorted, “How do you know that she would’ve ended up like you? Do you think we’re the same kind of people, so blinded by hatred that we’ll mercilessly kill the innocent?”“But you wouldn’t have treated her kindly!” Monster emphasized.Jay said, “Perhaps I wouldn’t. However… My wife would’ve.”The anger surging in Monster’s eyes flashed quickly like fireworks, and it gradually grew calm.“What’s the point in saying all of this? She’s dead, so this conversation is of no use.” Monster snarled.Jay continued, “I’m not
Monster was awestruck.Jay’s meticulous attention to detail made Monster feel utterly convinced.Jay expected that Monster would not easily hand over the Boyes’ research results, so he stood up elegantly and sorted out the folds in his clothes.Seeing that he was about to leave, Monster could not help but ask, “Where are the other sisters from the military intelligence division?”Jay calmly replied, “It’s nice of you to ask about them. The sisters were seriously injured, but they’re all better now. My wife is rather fond of them, so she has adopted them all as our own.”Monster was slightly startled. The green veins on his handsome face were about to burst as he firmly squeezed the seat’s armrest.Jay saw his subtle movements, and he curled his lips once more. “Are you thinking that the elite agents you’ve worked so hard to train have ultimately ended with me?”Monster’s anger was thrashing in his body for a while before he calmed down. He succumbed to reality and comforted hims
She secretly glanced at Cole’s enchantingly handsome face and noticed how tight-lipped he was due to tension. The tips of his ears had turned red.Angeline was experienced in terms of love, so she instantly understood Cole’s heart. She quickly tried to escape. “I’m here to see my sister.”She was about to leave when Cole abruptly held her arm.Angeline looked at him in surprise. Cole’s eyes were currently filled with fiery flames out of his care for her. “Has my aunt been making things difficult for you lately? I heard that your anxiety disorder has returned?”Angeline froze still. She would be lying if she said that his words did not move her in the slightest bit. However, Angeline’s reasoning gave her the courage to cut the Gordian knot right then. She said, “Young Master Yorks, you’re caring about the wrong person.”Angeline’s eyes were like obsidians, exuding radiant brilliance. The look in her eyes was firm.Cole let go of her hand weakly and said, “I know I have no righ
