No Way Back

Chapter 416

Sorry, ***… I need to go to the toilet!”

After saying that, Madelyn ignored Anna’s repeated calls. She covered his face and quickly ran out of Anna’s vision.

“Jack… Why… Why did this happen… Why…”

Anna could not help but shed tears. She turned around and threw herself into Jack’s arms, crying bitterly. This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.

Jack could only let the feeling of intense sadness envelop his heart. He could not speak. He hugged Anna and gently patted her back, comforting her.

He thought to himself, “If only we had known what would happen. We wouldn’t have done. those things in the past.

“We have already committed an unforgivable crime. There is no hope left for us.”

Even though he already knew Madelyn’s true colors and was just watching her put on an act, he could not say a word about it.

All Jack could do was watch Anna almost lose her mind from getting provoked, but since she was already in so much agony after regaining her consciousness, she could not learn. about the truth. Hence, she could only continue to be blinded by Madelyn’s lies.

They were all like actors wearing a mask and performing on stage. Everything they did was according to an invisible script. There was no real self to speak of.

It was just as Jane had said.

They were all a *******of clown actors. They were crazy and did not know it.

Jack thought to himself, “Maybe the best thing that has ever happened to Jane was escaping from the Fowler family.”

“She escaped getting dragged into this mess.”

“She does not have to suffer like the rest of us.”

Liliana felt upset looking at the state of Uncle Jack’s family.

But she was in no position to say anything.

She could only quietly accompany everyone and wait for Aaron’s surgery to end.

At this ***, Johan clenched his fists and finally made up his mind.

‘Quinton, Peter, I’ll leave this to you. I have something important to attend to. I’ll be back soon!”

Quinton and Peter looked at Johan in surprise. “Johan? Aaron is in critical condition. What else can be more important…”

“Trust me.”

When Quinton and Peter saw Johan’s serious gaze, they were silent for a ****before nodding. “I understand, Johan. Go ahead. We’ll take good care of Aaron, ***, and dad.”

“Please do!”

Johan turned around and left.

Back in the restaurant.

Jane and Shaun took their time feasting on the French cuisine.

Jane took a sip of the 1869 Lafite red wine and wiped hers lips with a handkerchief. “The taste is indeed not bad. The chef that Cloudnine Restaurant poached this time must have extraordinary skills.”

“I heard that the chef is from a three-star Michelin restaurant, and that he has 30 years of work experience. He’s almost 60 years old, but he’s still working hard and working in the frontline. He has a strong innovative spirit indeed. He must have invested a lot of effort into his career…”

When Shaun saw Jane genuinely enjoying the delicacies, he gradually heaved a sigh of relief.

He was really afraid that Jane would be in a bad mood because of the conflict with the Fowlers earlier. If that was the case, Shaun would blame himself for suggesting that they eat at Cloudnine Restaurant tonight.

After the two of them finished their meal and got off the elevator, they bumped into a familiar figure.

“Jane Fowler…”

Johan was panting from running and sweating profusely. He looked at Jane and Shaun in front of him and felt relieved that he had managed to make it here in time despite encountering a traffic jam.

Jane’s expression darkened. “What do you want? Johan Fowler, if you’re here to pick another fight, I’ll make you sorry!”

“Mr. Fowler, that’s enough. Can’t you see that Jane doesn’t want to talk to you at all? You have to know your limits. Why do you keep pestering her? Do you really want her to hit you before you call it quits?

Shaun was about to get a cerebral hemorrhage because of the Fowlers.

Suddenly, he pitied Jane. She had gotten entangled with such a family of lunatics. Even though she had already cut ties with them, she had no choice but to continue her entanglement with them because they were related by blood. This problem was something she could not eliminate.

“Mr. Luther, I’m not here for you. I’m here for Jane!”

Johan did not look at Shaun from the beginning to the end. He looked at Jane steadily. “Jane, Aaron is experiencing some respiratory problems. Moreover, he’s showing signs of his autism relapsing. Back then, it was a pianist who had cured and saved him. And it was you! You’re the light of his life!”

“Johan, if you want to act crazy, you should go to the psychiatric department in the hospital. I’m not trained in helping lunatics!”

“I don’t remember ever doing such a thing for him. Also… if Aaron is really ******, it has nothing to do with me. As Aaron’s biological brother, what you should do now is to stay by

your precious brother’s side and keep him from dying. Instead, you came to me and said such meaningless words. Do you think you can save Aaron by doing that?”

“I have to tell you these things, Jane, because I know that once Aaron’s illness relapses again, it will be impossible for him to recover unless you can forgive him… The one who caused his agony must be the one who frees him from it. Jane, you are the only one who can help Aaron!”

Johan was the only person who had seen through everything.

They could treat Aaron’s hyperpnea this time.

But what about his autism relapsing?

Because of Jane, Aaron almost stopped breathing.

This showed how important Jane was in Aaron’s heart.

The person who had saved Aaron’s life and given him hope and dreams, was also the person who had become their mortal enemy. The hatred between them seemed almost impossible to resolve.

Just thinking about it made Johan feel despair on Aaron’s behalf.

“Oh, if it’s like what you said, then Aaron is doomed this time. That’s great. You should go and collect your brother’s corpse. I’ll send a condolence wreath to his funeral. You don’t have to thank me. I’d appreciate if you stop wasting my time here.”

After saying that, Jane walked past Johan and wanted to leave.

Johan shuddered.

He did not think that Jane could actually say such vicious words.

As Johan looked at Jane’s departing figure, he subconsciously reached out and grabbed her arm.

Jane was shocked.

What was happening?

Johan approached her, but Jane did not react at all.

With Johan’s strength, it should be impossible for him to get close to Jane.

Jane’s face was cold. “Johan Fowler, let go of me!”

“Jane, if dad and ****let you down, they have already been punished for their sins! But Aaron is innocent! He has never done anything to let you down. Ever since he returned to Stormton City and

found out that you had cut ties with the Fowler family, he has been trying to salvage your relationship with us and earn your forgiveness so that you can return to the family.”

“Are you going to condemn us, your biological brothers, just because dad and ****did something unforgivable to you? You’re being too unfair to us! Do you really want to see Aaron, your blood-related brother, ****before you’re satisfied?”

“Yes, I want to see him *********. I am a vicious woman. Didn’t you already know about my true colors? Why did you still come to humiliate yourself and pester me?”

Jane kicked Johan’s stomach at lightning speed.
