Chapter 1465
Which is why she could not drag Noah and his mother down with her.To her surprise, Noah said, "It's our lives! If that Poole guy dares to kill you, I will beat him to death with my backhoe. We already have nothing, so why should we be afraid of him??"Jane shook her head in tears. "You don't understand, Noah. That man is merciless. You two don't have to die with me."Noah gave her a bitter smile. "You are wrong, Jane. I… Ever since I lost my son, I didn't want to live. The only reason I am alive is because I still have my mother, but how long does she have left? Back when we were staying in the mountains of South City, I planned on commiting suicide once my mother died of old age because I couldn't bear to live by myself. Jane, it was you and your unborn child that gave my widowed mother and this mid-aged man who lost a son something to look forward to. What do we have to live for if you are gone?""...""If we can't escape death, we might as well face it together. We need to sta
Chapter 1466
It had been four months since he last saw her, and she had grown thinner. Women often got fat for eating too much, whereas Jane was slim to the point that Alex could see the frail capillaries on the bridge of her nose. There were a few freckles on her face, but they didn't affect her beauty in the slightest. To say that she was beautiful would have been an understatement. More precisely speaking, she was happy. She was beaming and her sweet smile showed just how fulfilled and content she felt. But her clothes… Alex could not bear to look at the clothes that she was wearing. Jane was not short in her height, but her feet were relatively small and fitted only heels at size 36.5. And now, she sat on the stairs of the bridge and the first thing that caught Alex's attention were the oversized shoes that she was wearing. It was a pair of black tarpaulin male workers' boots with stitches layered on both sides of the shoes. The stitches were subtle but Alex had great eyesight since he was yo

She was excellent at massaging, with skills comparable to that of an expert. When she was massaging him, Alex could distinctly feel that Jane did not let her nails grow; and now, he could also see that despite her hideous and outdated outfit, her hands were beautiful. She had let her nails grow out and had trimmed them into perfect shapes. He had always wondered through all the years he had spent with Jane, all women who were inspired to be beautiful would love manicures, but why had Jane not ever gotten a manicure before? It was not until this moment that Alex finally realized that it was not that she did not like getting her nails done. It was just that when she was with him, she had to take care of him, cook for him, and cut fruits for him. For fruits that needed to be peeled, she would always do so herself, before feeding him. When she had the time, she would massage his head and his entire body; after that, she even had to wash his feet for him while massaging every acupoint on hi

Jane played with her fingers and asked shyly, "M--Ma'am… I want to work here…""..." The owner paused for a moment, before glancing at her in contempt, "You? Which cave did you climb out of? Can you even read?"Jane smiled. "What are you talking about, ma'am? It… It's not like I'm that old, how… How could I possibly not know how to read?"The owner scanned her up and down, before saying, "What can you do?""I… I can do anything. I don't mind the dirty and exhausting work," Jane responded hurriedly."Well, you definitely can't work as a waitress, considering what you are wearing. You look hideous."A cheerful and relaxed smile appeared on Jane's face, as she was getting the feeling that there was hope. "I never thought of being the waitress, ma'am. I was just thinking that I could maybe wash your dishes or throw out your trash for you."Dish-washing? Throwing trash? Alex was completely dumbfounded at what he was hearing. His driver Andrew felt chills down his spine just looking a

Jane did not let go of the bucket, but instead pleaded, "Look, ma'am, I can pick it up. Please just give me a chance. I need the money. Eight hundred a month would mean so much to me.""..." Alex watched in pain, feeling as though there was something stuck in his throat and in his heart."Let it go, I'll take you in. Just let the bucket go first," the owner said.Jane set the bucket down and looked at the owner in joy."I can tell that life hasn't been easy on you. Our restaurant doesn't usually accept pregnant employees. After all, we can't afford the consequences if you are to bump into something and get hurt. We'd much rather have a sixty-year-old lady to wash our dishes with a higher pay instead of hiring you," the owner continued."I can take care of myself, ma'am. Even… Even if something is to happen, I… I won't come after you. Please believe me. I'm not young anymore and I went through a lot to keep this child, I will definitely take care of it--"The owner interrupted Jan

Andrew immediately took out his phone to call. Just when the call was about to be connected, Alex's phone rang. He glanced at it and realized that it was from Sabrina. He instantly picked it up and said, "Why are you calling me at this time, Sabrina? I…"He was just about to tell Sabrina that he had found Jane when Sabrina's voice came from the other end of the line. "There's something that I forgot to tell you, Alex. Just now when I was taking a nap in the afternoon, I was woken up by a bad dream, which reminded me of what I needed to tell you.""What is it? What dream?""I dreamt of Jane jumping off a cliff. Four months ago when the old Master Shaw came to force me into giving my kidney to Selene, I had the exact same dream that Jane chose to jump off a cliff after being left with no other choice.""What are you trying to say?""Alex," Sabrina continued in a depressed voice. "When Jane called me half a month ago, I could tell from her tone back then that she doesn't intend on ru

She ended up sleeping for a couple of hours, and while she slept for a rather long period of time, she kept dreaming. In her dream, she could distinctly see that Jane had been cornered by a group of people and had been forced up to the edge of a cliff. Jane turned around to look down the cliff, before smiling bitterly at the people that were after her and said, "I've been waiting for this day for so long. The weather today is so nice that it's just perfect for me to jump off this cliff! But you listen to me, Alex Poole! The one thing that I regret doing most is coming to know you and longing for the protection you have provided me. I should have known how fate works. I should have known that the protection you provided me will only end up being the one thing that hurt me most. I would rather be imprisoned for life, or to be beaten to death, than to know you. At least I wouldn't be upset over being insulted or beaten; and yet, Alex Poole, you have torn my heart into pieces! I swear! I d

Over on the other end of the line, Alex asked in a depressed voice, "Sebastian, you… Back when you were looking for Sabrina, had it been difficult for you to approach her?""Did you find Jane?" Sebastian immediately asked.Alex shook his head. "Your darling Sabrina just called and warned me not to push Jane too far if I manage to find her. Otherwise, Jane would kill herself."Sebastian sighed. "Based on Sabrina's personality, had I approached her recklessly without any leverage over her, she would end up before you as a corpse. Back then, I went straight to Ciarrai County after finding out that she was there, but I didn't meet with her right away. Instead…""Instead what?" Alex urged desperately.Sebastian chuckled awkwardly. "Alex, do you plan on getting me killed by my lifelong boss?""Spill already!""I plotted for a while before approaching her!" Sebastian blurted out."...""For a woman that fierce, if I had just gone and captured her right away, she would have killed her
