Chapter 740 Is He Really That Heartless?
“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.”Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
“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, be rational. I wanted to look for people in the special forces to do it, but Jasper refused. He remarked that everyone only has one life and his life isn’t more valuable than others.”
“As you can see, he values other people’s lives more than his own. Do you think that he will give them the biological weapons in exchange for his own life? The weapons will pose a great threat to humankind. No, he won’t. He won’t do that,” Stella was sure about that and her eyes turned red.
Bellamy realized that Stella had a point. “Wait a minute.”
He immediately hung up and gave Elvis a call.
Elvis’ phone was switched off.
He then called Jasper, but Jasper’s phone was also switched off.
He called his men and ordered them, “Use the God’s Eyes immediately to look for Jasper and Elvis.”
As soon as he hung up the call, he received another call from Stella.
Bellamy answered the call hastily. Regretting his decision, he said, “I’m sorry, Stella. I don’t know Jasper as well as you do. I can’t even get through to Elvis right now.”
Stella was panting heavily. She was so furious that she couldn’t utter a word.
Could she blame him? What was the point of blaming him?
Could she ask Bellamy for help? The God’s Eyes had always belonged to Jasper.
She figured that Bellamy would fail to find Jasper through the God’s Eyes as there was a secret account. Only Jasper could access it.
He would be able to shut down the system temporarily with his phone.
She hung up the call and squatted on the ground. The more she thought about it, the angrier she felt. She was indignant but more than anything, she was worried.
She remained in that position without moving an inch.
Lynette was concerned about Stella. She brought a jacket and wrapped it around her. Feeling confused, she asked, “Mrs. Milton, what happened?”
Stella hid her face between her knees. She did not want to talk to anyone.
Lynette stayed by her side. Stella remained motionless till noon.
“Mrs. Milton, squatting like this will make your legs go numb,” Lynette reminded in a worried tone.
Her legs had been numb for quite a while and she was unable to move, but the numbness was nothing compared to her rage.
Jasper left her behind. He really did leave her behind!
Was it because she was always there, waiting for him no matter what he did, therefore he had nothing to fear? He left without saying goodbye and he switched off his phone right after, leaving only a brief explanation. Did he ever consider how she felt? Won’t he be afraid that she would be worried?
Stella stood up abruptly, but her legs were so numb that she almost fell.
Lynette immediately helped her.
Stella stumbled forward, step by step. She felt rebellious out of the blue and wished to live as she liked, just like them!
She sat down on a chair by the lake.
Lynette massaged Stella’s leg to allow blood flow to relieve the numbness.
Stella stared blankly at the surface of the lake. Her chest heaved up and down as she struggled to regain her composure.
She picked up her phone and sent a text message to Jasper. “I’ll give you 24 hours. Return within the time limit and I’ll pretend that this has never occurred today. No matter what happens, we’ll face it together. If you fail to return within 24 hours, we’ll divorce and I’ll get married again within a week. From then onwards, your life has nothing to do with me. Don’t forget, I can hypnotize myself. I always do what I say.”
“Lynette, go back to the villa. Take good care of Mom and Sandro,” Stella said in a low voice.
However, Lynette was worried after seeing Stella’s current state. “Mrs. Milton, it’s noon. It’s time to go back for lunch.”
Stella glanced at her. “You aren’t going to listen to what I say either?”
“Mrs. Milton, you are frightening me. I’m just worried that something might happen to you,” Lynette’s eyes were red.
Stella stared at her.
Lynette had suffered damage on her face because of her.
Recalling the incident made her guilty again. She sighed and said softly, “I’m fine. I just want to calm down while I think. You may go back first.”
“If that’s the case, Mrs. Milton, please give me a call if you need anything,” Lynette responded worriedly.
Stella nodded her head.
Lynette then went back to the villa.
Stella sat there, checking her phone every minute for the next one hour.
She felt that she was going crazy and resisted the urge to check her phone. Nevertheless, hope still lingered and she wanted to see if there were any text messages from Jasper, but there were none.
Her face brightened when her phone rang. However, her smile faltered when Bellamy’s name appeared on the screen. She couldn’t hide her disappointment. She answered the call, hoping that there was good news.
“Stella, Jasper immobilized the system. Do you know the account number and password?” Bellamy asked.
Her heart sank.
She knew that Jasper was capable of immobilizing the God’s Eyes’ system, but the news still hit her like a bucket of cold water. She was crestfallen.
He was indeed heartless.
He didn’t even want to be discovered by them after his death, did he?!
Was she merely something insignificant to him? He could toss her around and leave her behind without considering her feelings!!
For the sake of revenge for his family, he broke the promise he made to her back then. Now, he left her and broke his promise again for the sake of humankind.
What was the significance of her resilience for the past few years? Was it worth it being there for him all these years?
What was she to him?!
He always made her wait endlessly.
She was willing to give up everything for him. Yet, he always chose something else over her.
Was she selfish, or was he too kind-hearted? He thought about everyone else except her!
She didn’t want to wait any longer. The longer she waited, the more agony she felt. The anguish filled her with indignation.
She hung up the call and sent another message to Jasper, “I’m telling the truth. If you don’t come back within twenty-four hours, I’ll break all ties with you. I won’t wait for you, nor will I love you anymore. I’ll delete you from my memories and I won’t give you any more chances. Do you understand??!!”
Still, no reply.
Alright, she decided to wait one last time.
She watched as the sun went down the horizon. The sky turned dark. Lynette checked on her several times and did not disturb her seeing that she was in a daze.
Suzi came over and sat next to her.
Stella slowly turned to face Suzi…
