In the end, Alyssa was brought back into her room.
Alyssa’s door was locked. They also confiscated her phone, prohibiting her from contacting anyone.
This incident alarmed the entire Taylor family.
If it weren’t for Alyssa’s brothers wanting to return as soon as possible and accompany her, Jeremy would probably be hunted globally.
After a heated argument, Winston was weakened. Jonah and Silas helped him back to his room.
“Both of you, if you want to speak up for that Walsh bastard, better shut your mouths now and get out!”
Silas gritted his teeth in anger. “Speak up for him? I’m not dumb!”
Jonah frowned. “You’re thinking too much. I didn’t mean that.”
“Hmph! Luckily, you still have a bit of conscience.”
At this moment, a thunderous boom echoed. A huge lightning bolt struck, making the night as bright as day.
Winston looked out the window, hatefully saying, “Oh God, why didn’t you strike that Walsh bastard with lightning?”
Jonah and Silas were speechless at his words.
“Mr. Taylor!” Neil quickly ran over to them, sweating profusely. “Mr. Taylor, Mr. Walsh is here. He’s right outside the main gate.”
The Taylor father and sons were stunned!
That night, the rain in Belbanks was even more intense than in Solana City.
Jeremy stared at the tightly closed gate of Heightsnew Villa. The raging wind filled his suit, and a bonechilling cold enveloped his whole body.
With countless calls to Alyssa yielding no response due to her switched-off phone, he arrived carrying a heart weighed down by bitterness and regret.
He desperately wanted to see her. Deep inside, it felt as if something inside him was missing. A
profound sense of despair tugged at his heart, dragging it down.
Will he not see her again?
Jeremy waited for a long time until he was soaked through, and his phone’s last bit of battery was exhausted.
But he didn’t know what he was waiting for.
Heavy footsteps reverberated through the rain-soaked air at this moment.
Jeremy instinctively looked up, and his heart contracted heavily.
Between his brows was a black gun.
“Jeremy, you’ve made my sister like this. You deserve to be shot.”
In front of him, Liam held the gun firmly with his right hand, pointed straight at his forehead. The water droplets falling from the brim of his cap in the pouring rain added a touch of cruel beauty to his fiercely crimson eyes.
“Lyse is such a good girl. She’s our princess. Because of you … Because you met her, her whole life has been ruined!”
Liam roared in hatred in the rain. The military officer, known for his steady aim, found his grip on the gun almost faltering at this moment. “What are you going to use to compensate? Maybe your life!”
Jeremy’s eyes were lifeless, without any desire to resist.
Death was nothing to be afraid of.
He was just afraid that his love for Alyssa would come to an abrupt end.
“Liam! What are you doing?”
Jonah had a feeling of impending doom. He stepped forward to disarm Liam swiftly.
Originally, disarming Liam should have been impossible since he was a colonel with outstanding skills.
However, Jonah covered the muzzle with his hand.
Fearing that the gun might go off accidentally, Liam had to let go.
“Jonah, if you truly care about Lyse, you shouldn’t have stopped me!” With bloodshot eyes, Liam stared at Jeremy, who was ready to die. If his eyes were daggers, Liam would’ve killed Jeremy.
This statement was quite harsh. When it came from the usually gentle Liam, its impact was doubled.
However, Jonah didn’t blame him.
It might be better if the anger could be vented in this way. Otherwise, he didn’t know what horrific things his brothers might do.
“Liam, I care about Lyse. But I also care about you, Silas, and Axel. We grew up together. Which one of you do I not care about and love?
“I just don’t want you to ruin your lives for this guy. If you guys vented your anger this way, what about
Lyse? Can you face Mom and Dad?”
Mentioning their mother caused both brothers to feel a surge of intense bitterness, moistening their eyes.
“You finally came home for a while. We all missed you. Lyse would be very happy to see you.”
Jonah closed his eyes and took a deep breath to suppress the pain in his heart. “Lyse asked us to let this matter go. She doesn’t want to pursue it anymore. If we keep clinging to it, we’ll only hurt Lyse again, making her live in the pain of losing a child.”
The pain of losing a child …
It was the pain of losing a child!
Jeremy was gasping for breath as if on the verge of death¡ªthe tears in his reddened eyes were washed away by the cold rain.
If their child were still alive, they would be three years old.
What had he done? What had he done?
“The rain is too heavy, and you’ve had a long trip. You might get sick if you stay in the rain any longer.
Let’s go inside.”
Jonah grabbed Liam’s arm pulling him toward the gate.
“Jonah …” Jeremy felt like he had suffered a severe injury. He lowered his broad shoulders. His trembling lips quivered as he said, “Please let me … see Lyse one more time …”
“Dream on!” Liam erupted in anger, struggling forward with his body full of hatred.
Seeing that, Jonah hugged him tightly.
“Jeremy! Get out of here right now! Don’t dirty our place. And don’t let me see you again! Otherwise, I’ll definitely kill you! Get lost!”
“Jonah … Let me see Lyse.”
Jeremy’s eyes were full of pain, but there was no trace of retreat. He was so obstinate. It was as if he wouldn’t frown even if the sky had fallen. “The things back then, our child … There are many things I want her to explain to me …”
“Jeremy, Lyse said she doesn’t care about those things anymore. They’re all in the past.”
Jonah’s eyes were deep, and his voice was hoarse. “You guys, don’t be trapped in the pain of the past anymore. Look forward. Go back, and don’t come again.”
Just as the two brothers turned around, they suddenly froze in place.
“Dad?”
Winston, who had been standing under Silas’ umbrella, suddenly stepped into the pouring rain. His face was pale as he approached Jeremy.
The pressure was getting lower, and the chilling air emanating from Winston almost froze the raindrops falling from the sky into ice crystals.
Jeremy watched helplessly as Winston walked toward him with an expressionless face.
He parted his pale lips as if wanting to say something. But in front of the father of the woman he loved the most, he couldn’t let a word out of his throat.
