Chapter 686 I Will Be Fine No Matter Where I Am
“We will discuss this after the negotiation,” Bellamy squinted his eyes. His gaze was stony and cold.
Stella looked at Bellamy thoughtfully. He had a mask on, but he still looked very sinister. “What’s wrong?”
“Larson is the one who pretended to be me. When the plane exploded on its way to B Country, he, along with four other men, were killed in the explosion,” Bellamy said solemnly.
Stella’s hands were shaking.
Something like that had happened before.
Jasper’s plane had exploded when he had been on his way to the Special Forces.
“Who could be behind it? Christian is dead, and it’s impossible for Zoah to do that. Is it Quinn?” Stella’s voice trembled.
“I do not know, but he is very likely to be the one behind it,” Bellamy guessed.
Stella could not control her emotions. She kicked her luggage hard.
The image of the bullet piercing through Jasper’s head flashed repeatedly in her mind, and the pain seemed to have numbed her entire being.
“Why?” Stella cried. Her eyes were red and she clenched her fists tightly. “You’ve already changed your identity, yet there are still people who won’t let you go. First, it was Christian, now it’s Quinn. Why are they all like this!!!”
Bellamy knew that she was worried about him. He reached out to hold her, putting her neck on his shoulder. He could feel her shivering.
His heart ached for her too. “Don’t be afraid. We are fine now, and we always will be.”
Stella wrapped her arms around his waist; she tried her best not to breakdown. She swallowed her fear, hatred, and anger. “Jasper, Christian is already dead. Let’s leave after this negotiation, okay? Let’s take Mom and our child to a place where no one knows us. We’ll live a good life there.”
Bellamy patted Stella on the back to comfort her, but he did not say anything.
“Okay?” Stella urged again. It was rare for her to be so bold before him.
“If Quinn is not dealt with, we will be in danger no matter where we go. Also, my men are dead, so I can’t let him off the hook,” Bellamy said gently, implicitly saying that he would not go into hiding with her.
Stella pushed Bellamy away with all her strength, and the temper she had long suppressed finally burst. “You are always like this! When we agreed to leave last time, you said that you needed to avenge your father’s death. Now that Christian is dead, you want to avenge your brothers. You do everything but think about me. The last time I was pregnant, you weren’t by my side, and you’re still not by my side this time. I am worried and scared every day. I am really tired. Do you still want to be in a relationship with me or not?”
She wiped her tears away, and the back of her hand was smeared with her makeup.
She knew that she should not have lost her temper in front of so many people. Many people would look at her, and they would notice something wrong with her too.
If she did not control her emotions, their identities might be exposed.
Bellamy merely stood there, staring at her as she vented her anger.
“Let’s split up for a while. I will contact you later,” Stella said. Then, she turned around, picked up her luggage, and ran out of the door quickly.
She did not want to force Jasper, but she really could not stand losing him again.
She was tired of living like that.
Bellamy quickly caught up with her and held her arm. He said helplessly in a gentle tone, “You are not familiar with this place. I will be worried about you if you were to wander off alone.”
Stella shook his hands off. Her eyes were red.
“I was alone in the United States for three years. I was not familiar with that place too, but I still lived well. I will live well no matter where I am,” Stella retorted.
She knew that she was putting pressure on him.
However, all hell seemed to have broken loose when she learned that his plane had exploded.
Bellamy wrapped his arms around her and coaxed her, saying, “Don’t be angry. I promise you that I will leave with you once we leave this place.”
Stella looked up at him in disbelief, “Are you telling me the truth?”
Bellamy nodded. “Yes, we will travel around the world and we could even live on a deserted island if you want.”
Upon hearing the words ‘deserted island’, Stella felt bad.
That place used to be their sacred land. However, it was no longer a secret, which meant that if they wanted to leave the ongoing mess behind, they could not return to that place.
Extremely upset, she burst into tears.
Bellamy’s heart ached to see her cry.
She was usually so strong, as though nothing could wear her down. She fought against Christian, Quinn, Zoah, and all sorts of people.
However, at that moment, she was just a fragile young woman.
Could Jasper hear her crying from the bed he was lying on?
If he could hear her, would he feel sad too?
If he was sad, would he wake up?
“Stella, I am sorry. I’ve made you sad,” Bellamy said softly.
Stella calmed down gradually.
What type of person was Jasper?
Whenever he was on a mission, he would sacrifice himself for everyone, even a complete stranger, just because he was a soldier.
If a comrade-in-arms died, he would be sad for a long time. Therefore, in order to save his fellow brother, he would choose to sacrifice himself.All content is © N0velDrama.Org.
He was a man who valued friendship. He valued her life more than he did his own.
She knew that he was sad. His brothers had died because of him, so he could not leave just like that.
She understood him too well. If he were to leave just like that, he would be unhappy for the rest of his life; he would be tortured by his conscience for the rest of his life, just like how he could never forget the way his comrades had all died one by one in front of him eight years ago.
At the thought of that, she became sad again. She cried as she gazed at him helplessly.
Perhaps love was all about sacrifice.
“Go,” she said firmly. “Go and fight. Avenge your fellow soldiers. I will fight alongside you. If you die, I will accompany you.”
She knew that that was what she should do. However, tears kept welling up in her eyes. Building up like water in a dam, it finally overflowed, streaming down her face.
Bellamy’s heart ached for her as he embraced her.
She was truly an understanding and reasonable person. Although she had broken down and lost her temper at him, it was only because she loved Jasper too much.
Once she calmed down, she would continue to stand by Jasper’s side, no matter how sad or reluctant she was.
She would always force herself.
“Stella, if we don’t deal with Quinn, we will be in danger no matter where we go. Quinn is a person who would kill a hundred innocent people just to get to a single target.”
“We have to leave no matter what happens after we deal with Quinn,” Stella said as she looked at him, pleading him with her charming eyes.
Even though her tear-stained face was hideous, he was mesmerized by her eyes that were filled with sorrow.
He really wished that he was the real Jasper.
