Chapter 736 Help Me…
Bellamy looked at Jasper approaching him. He couldn’t help but feel a little nervous. He cracked a smile.
“We will leave in a few days. Thank you for your help. It must have been hard for you,” Jasper said in a deep voice.
“Somehow, you sound like the older one when you speak even though I’m the eldest here,” Bellamy responded with a smile.
Jasper stared intently into Bellamy’s eyes. “If anything happens to me, take care of her.”
The sudden statement wiped the smile off Bellamy’s face. He examined Jasper as he replied, “Nothing will happen to you. Don’t spout nonsense. You came out safe and sound from the disaster. I wager luck is with you.”
Jasper hesitated. In the end, he did not speak further. He went back and continued fishing.
Bellamy stared at Jasper with perplexity.
Although they were twins, he couldn’t understand Jasper at all.
Jasper emitted a silent vibe that made his hair stood on end.
He sat beside Jasper and announced, “I’ve promoted Anthony to Vice President. Do you remember the military base that you have resided before? I have allocated your acquaintance, Simon, to that base. The air force has also been assigned a trusted subordinate of mine. Do you want to meet Simon before you leave?”
Jasper shook his head. “He’s righteous and reliable.”
Chuckling, Bellamy said, “What do you plan to do once you leave? Remember to give me a call. I’ll always support you.”
Jasper looked at Bellamy. His gaze was deep and intent. He then looked in Stella’s direction. “I do not owe the military and the country, but I owe her. I’m sorry.”
Bellamy patted Jasper’s shoulder. “Right now, I just wish for both of you to be happy together. Even if something happens to you, she will not wish to depend on me. If she had the intention, she would have sought my help long ago. Therefore, do not leave her alone. It’s too brutal to let her live alone in anguish.”
“I may not live long,” Jasper expressed his concern.
“Don’t talk nonsense. You will be fine. The bullet shot right through your head, yet you are alive. There is nothing you can’t overcome,” Bellamy reassured him in a low voice. “Don’t even think about entrusting her to me. To be honest, I feel that she has made up her mind since the beginning. She was firm about rejecting me from the start. I loved her, but I don’t love her anymore. All that’s left is admiration.”
Stella pretended that she was still asleep. Her chin was quivering as she tried to restrain her tears.
She knew that Jasper was hiding something, but he didn’t express his worries to her.
It turned out that he thought that time was scarce.
His earnest tone indicated that he must be hiding something else. Something that he didn’t want to reveal to others, something he did not anyone to find out. He chose to bear the pain himself.
Her heart ached.
Jasper was such a kind person. If he had borne the sins from another lifetime, he should have redeemed himself after doing so many good deeds in his current life. Why did he have to suffer so much?
Didn’t Master Olgic state that the end was the beginning? Surely, it has ended?NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.
She didn’t utter a sound as she knew Jasper wanted to keep it a secret from her. Hence, she would pretend that she did not hear a word.
Minutes ticked by yet they remained silent. Jasper caught another two fish with Bellamy’s help.
Stella lifted the tent flap and looked towards Bellamy. She forced a smile and greeted him politely. “Hello, Bellamy.”
Bellamy smiled in response.
“Bellamy, I want to meet Sean before I leave, is that alright?” Stella asked.
Bellamy nodded in agreement. “When do you want to see him? I’ll arrange for it.”
“You will let him go after a year, won’t you?” Stella needed confirmation.
“Stella, I don’t wish to lie to you. The situation currently looks very ugly. Many odds are at stake. If he still has any ulterior motives, it will mean trouble if I let him go.”
“It is close to impossible for him to become President again due to his wrongdoing in the past. Hence, there’s no reason for you to be afraid.”
“He may not become the President, but he could still control the current situation. There’s a high chance that he is forming a faction behind the curtain. Recently, a lot of people are secretly supporting him. He’ll have a lot of say in the matter. Many will support who he advocates.”
“If he gains power after you let him go, I promise to come to your aid,” Stella pleaded.
“He’s your friend’s lover. I don’t want you to be in an awkward predicament if that happens,” Bellamy refused.
“As long as you’re strong, you shouldn’t be concerned about the other party gaining power. If you are incompetent, how will you be able to achieve what you have been planning?” Jasper commented as he looked at Bellamy.
Bellamy squinted at Jasper. “So, you want me to let Sean go as well?”
Jasper nodded in response.
“I get it. I’ll find an opportunity to let him go in a year,” Bellamy compromised.
For a moment, he felt a sense of betrayal. They did not back him up. He put on a wry smile. It didn’t matter. He did everything for their sake, thus he would proceed according to their wishes.
“If anything were to happen to me, bury me by my parents,” Bellamy whispered to Jasper.
He didn’t feel like continuing the conversation and walked towards the villa.
Stella and Jasper were both feeling down and gloomy. The future seemed bleak.
She held Jasper’s hand and stared into his eyes. “I promise you, if Sean ever turns his back on us, I will not hesitate to stand by Bellamy’s side and protect him with my life. We owe him this.”
Jasper nodded and clasped her hand. He carried the bucket and they went back to the villa.
When Suzi spotted Stella entering, she remarked happily, “Taking care of Sandro was easy. He dozed off in my arms and I brought him to your room. The lady called Anthea is looking after him.”
“Of course, Sandro is also very popular among those working in the base. Everyone fights to sleep with him. He isn’t shy with strangers and most of the time, he’s very obedient,” Stella explained.
“If so, let him sleep with me tonight,” Suzi suggested happily.
“Sandro needs to be fed twice at night. I’m worried that it will be troublesome for you,” Stella replied.
“It’s just for one day. It’s not something I do daily. Just one single day,” Suzi lifted her index finger. She was very earnest regarding the matter.
Stella and Jasper looked at each other and agreed.
After dinner, Jasper was supposed to accompany Stella while she visited Sean. However, he decided not to go along at the last minute.
Stella could not figure out what was on his mind, but she believed that he must have a solid reason.
She trusted him.
“I will be leaving then. It’s a little far away, so I will be back late. You don’t have to wait for me. Go to bed early,” Stella said to Jasper.
Jasper agreed. “Alright.”
She got onto Bellamy’s car. However, she was a little worried about Jasper. Something was amiss.
She recalled that a pinhole camera was installed at home before she left. She was unsure whether it was still in use.
She decided to give it a try. Surprisingly, it was still functional.
She found Jasper easily.
She saw Jasper wiping something with a tissue. He then flushed it away in the bathroom.
Her hands trembled as she replayed the recording a few times. What she saw made her dizzy.
It was no wonder he broke his promise. He was having nosebleeds.
Judging from Jasper’s expression, this wasn’t the first time he had experienced this issue. Her heart ached so much she felt that she was about to suffocate.
“Bellamy, I have to find Boris as soon as possible. Please help me,” Stella pleaded, her eyes red, tears brimming.
