Pausing between drags obfais cigarette, Axel inquired with genuine
“Hey, be nice,” Landon protested and glared at him.
“If he were mentally sound, he wouldn’t have abandoned Lyse and cheated on her with that Gardner bitch.
However, after all they had gone through, Axel had long put down his grudge against Jeremy.
Axel seemed to have inherited the Taylors’ traits of being vindictive and bitter.
Every time Axel thought of how Jeremy treated his sister, he couldn’t help but take a jab at Jeremy. For a second, he almost forgot that Jeremy was battling for his life in the operating room.
“He faced bullying in school due to his background, but he hid his wounds to avoid worrying his mom. He never shared his struggles with her.”
Axel interjected angrily, “Fuck! I hate school bullies the most! They are pure evil.” Crushing his cigarette box, he felt a fire burning within.” Why was Jeremy so weak? He could have beaten the hell out of them. I couldn’t believe that Jeremy Walsh was bullied. He should ha rammed them with his Rolls-Royce or something.”
“It’s easy to go against a guy or two, but what happens when bullies you?” Landon questioned with pangs of sympathy.
Axel’s eyes wavered as he inadvertently clenched his fists.
Landon explained, “Axel, you were born to Mr. Taylor and the woma he loved the most, and you were raised pampered. Just like you, I grew up in a relatively simple family-the only son to loving parents. People like us will never understand Jeremy’s pain of bearing the mark of an illegitimate child. We probably will never understand the pressure of walking on thin ice at home.”
Axel fell into deep thoughts upon hearing that. Indeed, Jeremy was the child of Javier Walsh’s lover, and he had an older half-brother. Later on, Javier married the calculative and cruel Sophia Kirkman. Since then, Jeremy had been suffering in silence.
“That’s why I said I was Jeremy’s only friend. He is averse to making. new friends, or in other words, he has sealed off his heart. Besides, he’s used to loneliness and is fine being alone.”
However, no one would truly enjoy solitude. Those who lived in solitude were the ones who had no choice.
Axel blurted out, “I take back what I said.”
“What?”
“Looks like the Harper family raises their children well. At least you. did not blindly bully Jeremy just because everyone ganged up against him.”
Axel’s remark reminded Landon of Zoe’s horrible behavior and her devilish expression, which he would rather forget when she bullied. Lauren.
Smiling bitterly, he secretly blamed himself for not guiding hi onto the right path. He felt as if he had failed as Zoe’s father life.
“You might look like a fool, but you’re a good egg,” Axel remarked, patting Landon on the shoulder when he walked past. “Jeremy Beck will have one more friend starting today.”
Feeling touched, Landon turned around, only to find Axel disappearing toward the end of the corridor.
Meanwhile, Jonah and Miley kept Alyssa company in the corridor outside the operating room, anxiously waiting for the surgery to end.
“Lyse, the major operation might last until dawn. Why don’t you take a rest in an empty room?” Miley hugged Alyssa and sensed the lack of warmth on Alyssa’s skin.
Not only that, Alyssa was trembling. Miley worried that Alyssa’s. health might suffer from pulling an all- nighter.
Alyssa insisted, “I’m fine. I’ll just wait here. I’m too worried to fall asleep anyway when he’s still in surgery.”
“Lyse.” Jonah sat beside her and questioned sternly, “What are your thoughts on Inigo Montoye-the person that the police chief mentioned?”
Hearing that, Miley grumbled, “Gosh, Jonah. Let Lyse take a rest. Can’t you discuss this another day? Jeremy and I will also pressure the Tsulu authorities to look into this case. We won’t let this slip.”
Alyssa gently patted Miley on the arm and reassured her, “It’s fine, Miley. I wanted to discuss it too.”
She turned to Jonah with a somber look and said, “Jonah, I find the attack on you and Jeremy at Shelland Island quite suspicious.”
Alyssa began, “You kept the operation under wraps. I know Jeremy well-he’s always been cautious, and he couldn’t have leaked the details of his operation.
“Even if Jeffrey Snyder’s men alerted him after you and Jeremy landed on the island, the enforcements who showed up should have been Snyder’s accomplices. Why would the military personnel show up. with heavy weapons? It’s so bizarre.”
“That’s true. I feel that Inigo Montoye’s men seemed to have come for me and Jeremy instead of backing up Jeffrey Snyder.” Jonah held his breath when he recalled Jeremy’s words. “Jeremy told me that he was 90 percent sure of the individual who sent the military enforcements, but we did not have the chance to discuss further because of the urgent situation.”
Alyssa’s eyes widened in shock. “Did Jeremy meet with Inigo M before? Why did he reach out to Tsulian military personnel?”
Jonah shook his head. “No. Jeremy told me that someone in Cy was working discreetly with Inigo Montoye to assassinate us.”
Someone in Cyrris? Alyssa gaped at Jonah as her heart raced. Who was the cruel and powerful mastermind behind the plot who could mobilize the Tsulian military against Jonah and Jeremy?
“I’ve sent my men to run an investigation on Inigo Montoye from Cyrris. My guess is that some prominent figures in Solana City must have been corresponding closely with the Tsulu authorities. Those names will be on my suspect list,” Jonah explained grimly.
Alyssa mused, “When Jeremy awakes from the surgery, he’ll give us the answer. Isn’t he very sure about the mastermind?”
At that moment, Miley frowned with concern. Similarly, Jonah noticed Alyssa’s change and wondered, “Lyse, you look pale. Are you sick?”
“Lyse, did you-“
All of a sudden, the doors of the operating room swung open, and a nurse in blood-stained scrubs ran out, panting. She yelled anxiously,” The patient is suffering a hemorrhage. We need an emergency infusion because we’ve run out of blood supply from the blood bank!”
“I’ll do it!” Alyssa shot up without hesitation, but she soon froze when she recalled that she failed to donate her blood to Jeremy when he was severely injured on the Luminara battlefields because their blood types were not a match.
Jonah stepped forward, offering, “I’ll do it.”
Miley raised her hand. “I can help too!”
Axel wandered over with Landon and remarked, “We can do blood, too. That’s enough blood for even a vampire, isn’t that s
They wouldn’t mind donating some blood and even donating the organs to save Jeremy’s life.
The nurse seemed cross because of the urgent situation and snapped, “Are you all Rh-negative?”
Upon hearing that, Alyssa’s heart sank, gripped by fear. The Rh- negative blood type was a rare group. The hospital’s blood bank did. not have sufficient supply to start with, and they were running out of time to get the blood from other hospitals, not to mention that the other places might not even have the supply.
“What? Does Jeremy Walsh have a rare blood type? What is he, a giant panda? What a trouble,” Axel exclaimed and blabbered in shock.
Jonah chided him, “Axel, watch your mouth! Jeremy’s life is at stake
When everyone stood there helplessly, they heard a deep voice booming. “I’ll donate mine right now! I’m Rh-negative”
“Jeremy?” Miley gasped and covered her mouth.
She was close to tears when she saw her husband rushing toward them
Alyssa blinked her eyes hard in disbelief. “Oh, my God! Jeremy!”
Jeremy was no longer the same man from the past. Now, he was the esteemed president of Kontina. It was rash and risky for him to show up for Miley with only a few bodyguards.
“Miley, sorry I’m late,” Jeremy apologized.
The middle-aged man gazed at his wife with bright eyes like a teen. Tearing up from guilt, he pulled her into a hug and gently patted her trembling back while repeatedly mumbling in her ear, “Darling, did you know how terrified I was when I heard you went to Tsulu alone? You were pretty fearless. What would I do if anything happened to you?”
“Well, if something happens to me, you’ll have to get yourself a new First Lady,” Miley joked as she playfully snuggled against her husband and buried her blushed face in his chest.
She listened to his heartbeat, which calmed her down.
“What are you talking about?” Jeremy gently caressed her head, indulging in her soft and warm scent. “I wouldn’t be where I am without you. Nothing in my life would matter if you’re gone, and I’d gladly follow you.”
“Never say that again, or I’ll be upset.”
“Or I can be a priest and pray for you every day.”
Alyssa discreetly dabbed at her eyes upon witnessing the affectionate exchange between her sister and Jeremy. She was happy for them and envious, hoping that one day, she could experience the same.
She silently prayed, “Jeremy, that’s why you have to wake up. What will I do without you?”
In the urgent situation, Jeremy offered a brief greeting to everyone present and entered the operating room to donate his blood. Alyssa sweated nervously, fixing her gaze on the doors of the operating
Jonah asked Miley with concern, “Miley, I remember Jeremy isn’t in the pink of health. Will he be fine donating a huge amount of blood to Jeremy?”
“He’ll be fine. I believe he can take it,” Miley concealed the worry in her eyes and reassured everyone.
Choking on tears, Alyssa hugged Miley without any words, but Miley understood Alyssa’s sentiment. Beaming softly, Miley said, “It’s only right that your brother-in-law saves my brother-in-law’s life. Family should help each other out.”
Time agonizingly ticked by. It wasn’t until dawn that the lights of the operating room sign finally turned off, and the doors swung open.
Despite being sleep-deprived, everyone perked up and went u doctor. Heart racing, Alyssa watched as an exhausted Julien. emerged in blood-stained scrubs. He took off his surgical reveal a pale and weary face. His alluring eyes were bloodshe his scrubs were drenched in sweat.
