No Way Back

Chapter 30

Jane was grateful to Peter.

He had allowed Jane to get a clear look at the Fowlers family’s true colors. He had let Jane reflect deeply on how fo*lish she had lived her life.

To think that she had spent so much effort in humiliating herself to please such a family…

What a joke.

That was the world’s biggest joke.

The Fowler family was unworthy.

They were not worthy at all.

Jane had worked so hard and even gave up her life.

She had held some hope of kinship with the Fowler family.

That hope was completely extinguished.

From now on, there was no longer a Jane Fowler, daughter of the Fowler family, in this world.

Instead, she was simply Jane.

She was just Jane Fowler.

Peter seemed to have been struck by lightning.

He stood rooted to the ground.

Jane turned to walk away.

“Jane… Jane…”

“Stop following me! Sucker!”

Jane had her back to Peter.

She did not hide her extreme revulsion toward Peter.

Peter could only look on as Jane walked away.

The things Jane had just confronted him with…

Peter felt as if a bucket of cold water was poured over his head.

It chilled his heart.

He had no defense.

The reason was simple.

Jane had spoken the truth.

It was the blo*dy, brutal truth that had happened to Jane not too long ago.

Right then, Peter felt that he was a hyp*crite.

So what if he was the male lead in this story?

He had nothing to say in his defense.

Would a normal person treat his long-lost biological sister like that, especially after the pains taken to find her?

“A real family shouldn’t be like this,” Peter said.

“At least, not like what I did.”

Peter pulled his hair and stooped helplessly on the ground.

It was such a simple principle.

But Peter had not comprehended it before.

He recalled everything that Jane had said earlier.

Every word was like a curse that hurt his head.

Even he felt disgusted by himself.

Larry had come over too.

After looking around for a while, Larry found Peter stooped on the ground, clutching his hair.

“Peter? What’s wrong with you?”

Larry sensed that something was wrong and rushed over to Peter.

Peter’s he

lifted mechanically at the sound of Larry’s voice.

Larry was stunned by Peter’s appearance.

Larry had never seen Peter’s eyes so dull and sad.

Peter looked as if his soul had been torn out of his body.

He seemed hollow.

“Larry, do you think I’m very heartless? Very perverse?

“If you were in my shoes, would you treat your blood-related sister, who had

22:29

been lost for 19 years, the way I did?”

Peter moved his thin lips and asked those questions weakly.

“Did Jane say something to you? Wake up, Peter!”

Larry held Peter’s shoulder and shook hard as if trying to call Peter’s soul back.

“Larry, I’ve never felt so disgusted by myself before. I’ve never hated myself like this before.

“Jane was right. The things I just said were so di*gusting that even I can’t recognize myself. I feel sck.

“I seriously believed in my heart that if Jane had shown her talent earlier, I might have changed the way I treated her.

“But I completely forgot that she is my sister, related by blood.

“There shouldn’t be any need for our relationship to be built on self-interest.”

The more Peter spoke, the more he felt that a candle was stuck in his throat.

It felt very bitter.

Peter felt something in his throat.

Every word he said caused him to feel as if his throat was going to break.

“Peter, what on earth…”

Larry couldn’t finish.

Peter’s breathing suddenly became very rapid.

“Peter? Hey! Peter! Don’t scare me! Peter!”

The moment Anna received the news, she rushed as fast as she could with Jack and Dwayne, who was on leave, to the University of Oricle.

In the school clinic, they saw Peter fast asleep. He had an IV drip in his arm, and his face was pale.

Next to him were Larry and Madelyn.

“Daddy, Mommy.”

Madelyn was crying uncontrollably. The moment she saw her parents and brother, she rushed over like her pillar of strength had arrived.

“Peter… He…” Madelyn cried.

Anna hugged Madelyn and tried to comfort her. “Maddie, calm down,” Anna said. “What on earth happened?”

Madelyn kept sobbing while trying to calm herself down so could speak clearly.

“Peter had gone to meet Janie, and then he ended up like this. Larry found Peter like this and carried him to the school clinic just in time.

“Today, Janie broke Peter’s record. I’m sure that’s what agitated him. Peter is such a proud person. If Janie said something h*rrible to Peter out of anger…”

“Mommy, I’m so scared. Will anything bad happen to Peter?”

Larry suddenly frowned.

Something was off.

Why did he feel that what Madelyn said sounded a little strange?

But that strange feeling only lasted for a while and then disappeared without a trace.

What Madelyn said was all true.

That was the information that they had for now.

Madelyn was crying inconsolably in front of her parents and Dwayne.

Besides that, Madelyn had rushed to the school clinic immediately after learning that Peter had fainted. She did not even have time to go to class. Her face was filled with worry, and her eyes were swollen from crying.

She could not possibly have been faking it.

She was sincerely concerned about Peter’s well-being from the depths of her heart.

Jack gritted his teeth. “Larry, is what Maddie said true?”

“Yes, it’s true but…”

“D*mn that Jane Fowler!”

Jack immediately walked out of the school clinic.

“Jack, where are you going?” Anna asked.

“Where else? Of course. I’m going to demand Jane pay for this! How dare

22:29

she hurt Peter? I’m not going to let her off!”

“Jack!”

This time, even Anna could not hold Jack back.

As a father, Jack saw the son he was proud of lying unconscious in bed with an IV drip in his arm.

And the culprit was his flesh and blood, Jane, the daughter Jack hated the most and had thrown out of the Fowler family.

Any human would have been unable to remain calm.

“Oh no…

Mommy, I’m sure Daddy is going to kick up a fuss with Janie. Daddy can become very scary when he’s angry. He might beat up Janie. Mommy, you must hurry and stop Daddy. I’ll stay here with Peter. He’ll be fine!”

Madelyn looked very anxious. She seemed afraid that Jane would get insulted by Jack. Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

“Peter…”

Anna glanced at Peter lying in bed. She could not get over her worry about her son. “Dwayne, hurry and catch up with your father. Don’t let him do anything rash,” she instructed.

“1…”

The usually enthusiastic Dwayne was unusually hesitant this time.

The main reason was that the incident with Jane at the Porsche 4S dealer’s office the last time, when he had falsely accused her, had left Dwayne with quite a bit of trauma.

If Dwayne were to see Jane again, he could not face her without care as he had before. He still felt a little guilty.

“Dwayne, what’s the matter with you? Go on now.”

Anna urged him on when she saw him hesitate.

Anna thought that Dwayne hesitated because he hated Jane and did not want to see her.

But at such a time, there was no time to worry about that.

“All right.”

Dwayne let out a quiet sigh. He eventually ran out after his father.

Madelyn hid in Anna’s embrace. There was a cold glint in her eyes.

It was not only Peter.

Even Dwayne was starting to change.

She had a bad feeling about this.

Jane waited until Lila finished her class. The two friends then headed to

the University of Oricle’s cafeteria for lunch.

“Janie, here’s a chicken leg for you.”

“Thanks,” Jane said.

“And here’s your favorite pork ribs,” Lila said.

“Lila, here’s the limited hotdog special that I lined up to grab for you,” Jane said. “Doesn’t it smell wonderful?”

“Wow!”

The hotdog in Jane’s hand was covered with toppings. When Lila saw that, her eyes filled with love.

“It’s so good that you could finish Professor Henderson’s class early.

“Janie, I believed that you could do it! Hehe!”

Jane placed the hotdog on Lila’s head and said, “But of course. As your best friend, how could I not have this little bit of ability? Otherwise, I

wouldn’t be worthy of being your best friend.”

“It’s too bad that I didn’t make it. Boohoohoo. Janie, if you go so far ahead, I’m worried that you won’t be my friend anymore.”

Lila pulled a long face.

She was not overreacting.

Lila knew long ago that Jane was not an ordinary person.

Jane had hidden her amazing talent very well.

Once her talent started to shine brightly, Lila knew she would no longer be able to catch up with Jane.

Lila was afraid to turn into someone unworthy to be Jane’s best friend.

“You’re so si*ly, Lila. Eat your hotdog. How could you be unworthy? Then

who would be worthy? You’re my best friend in this world.

“This is a lifelong promise. No matter what I become in the future, I’ll never forget,” Jane said.

Jane flicked her finger on Lila’s small forehead.

Lila was being si*ly, filling her head with so much nonsense.

Lila was like a sun to Jane. Lila was Jane’s savior.

Lila had cheered Jane on and stood by her without wavering as Jane fought with the world.

Without Lila, Jane could not imagine what she would turn into.

Living her life again, she would have given up on herself and fallen into the darkness or destroyed everything.

Lila was the ray of light that brought Jane out of her dark world.

Jane swore that she would treasure this life and protect her best friend

well.

“Okay, I was only joking. I know that you treat me the best.

“Now that you’re so good, don’t you dare dream of discarding me as an old

spare part.

“I’m never going to let go of you. I’m waiting for you to help me fly, go to the highest peak of my life, marry a handsome man, and overtake Bill Gates. Muahahaha!”

Lila stuck out her tongue. She took the hotdog and tore open the wrapper. She took a bite. The sudden burst of flavors was very satisfying.

Lila rolled her eyes while eating. Then she said carefully, “Janie, Peter went to look for you. Is everything all right?”

“Everything’s fine. Just a l*ser yelling nonsense. I won’t take it to heart.”

Jane was quite calm as she replied.

She could look at it another way.

She was grateful to Peter.

He had let Jane get a clear look at the Fowlers family’s true colors.

“That’s good…”

At that very moment…

“Jane Fowler! Show yourself now!

Jack’s angry voice sounded throughout the cafeteria.
