ANMELDENJARED"After Mr Nick told us about that bastard's situation, I immediately rushed to see his state.""If he wasn't injured enough, I would have punched life out of him. Hmmph!" Cindy made a fist. "But when I got there..."She paused, and her face paled slightly. It was as if she suddenly remembered something. She rubbed her chest. "He looked so gruesome." She mumbled in a low voice. She looked like she was about to throw up. "The doctors were yet to attend to him, and there was healthy flesh on him." My brows creased. "He was thrashing around, screaming in pain, but even the scream didn't sound human." She clenched her fist and shook her head."I had to run away as I couldn't stay longer there." I handed her a bottle of water, which she drank hungrily. "Thank you."I adjusted myself on the bed and sighed heavily. Maybe this was his karma. After all the bad deeds he'd done, he deserved to suffer. However, I still felt bad for him after hearing how much he suffered. Getti
JAREDShawn looked at me without taking a step forward. Seeing that, I tried to climb down the bed, but my body was too heavy, and climbing down was almost impossible. I almost lost my footing. "Careful!" Cindy cautioned. Stephen quickly held me back. Shawn also paled. He hurried toward me and helped me back in bed. Seeing his reaction, a smile formed on my face, but it was filled with heartache. Even if Shawn knew I would never see him as more than a friend, he would still do anything and everything for me. He wouldn't even think twice before he put himself in danger for me. However, he ended up being coldly rebuked by me. I was truly despicable. I reached out to take Shawn's hand and looked into his eyes. Shawn's eyes flickered, and he tried to look away. "No," I mumbled. Shawn returned his eyes to me. My lips tightened. I tried too hard to control my emotions. My baby couldn't take any more stimulation. Both the one in my belly and the one waiting outside. "I'm s
CHAPTER 240JAREDSterly and his family went out to change their clothes... which I knew was a lie. I could tell Sterly wanted to give my friends and me some space to talk. I watched as they closed the door and I shook my head. I really needed to know that there was no way he could lie to me. He wasn't good at it, and moreover, I knew him more than he could have imagined. How could his thoughts escape my eagle eyes?But I didn't need to tell him that because, truthfully, I needed time with my friends. After the door closed, Stephen ran over and sat beside my bed. He looked at my face silently for a few seconds. My heart skipped a beat. I could tell something terrible was about to happen. As expected, Stephen's lips parted, and loud cries escaped his throat. Stephen glared at me as he cried like a child. "You scared me. You scared me so much." "I really thought I was about to lose you." My lips pursed as my eyes also reddened. "But you ran after me. Even if I died, we wo
JAREDMy eyes settled on Sterly, and my heart ached when I saw the dark circles under his eyes. I reached out, slowly rubbing his face as tears formed in my eyes. Sterly must have been really scared. Everyone was quiet, and I could feel their eyes on me. They seemed to want to give Sterly and me some space. A smile appeared on my lips despite the lingering fear in my heart. "How long have I been asleep?" My voice was hoarse, and every word was painful. Even though I could hear their words most of the time, I was unable to count the days. It only felt like a very long time had passed, but every day was shrouded in darkness for me. It was impossible to calculate the passage of time. "A week," Sterly replied. My heart skipped a beat. Had I been sleeping for a whole week?How did that happen? "Then, what about my baby?" My voice broke as I asked. The fear in my eyes was palpable. The doctor had talked about my child when I was asleep, but I wasn't able to hear what he sai
JAREDI didn't look away. I was scared that Shawn might disappear if I did. I watched patiently as Shawn slowly approached, and soon he was standing in front of me.Sterly also let me down. I slowly reached out and touched Shawn's cheek. His skin felt a little hot, probably because of the fire. Our eyes met, and the tears in his eyes fell faster. My thumb brushed the corner of his eye, wiping his tears away while I stared at him without saying a word. "Jared," He called, almost choking on his tears. "I'm fine. I'm here with you." He mumbled. My eyes slowly regained focus, and my lips parted. "Shawn, are you really here?" I asked in a low voice. Shawn pressed my hand against his cheek and nodded. "I'm here, Jared.""Hm," I mumbled, and my eyes rolled. My vision darkened as waves of pain hit me, straight from my belly. I lowered my eyes, trying to look at my belly, but things were already too blurry. My strength left me as I slumped into Shawn's embrace. "Jared!""No, Jare
JAREDI stopped the car and got out. My legs were shaking, and my entire body was drenched in sweat as I walked toward where the accident occurred. The front of the two cars was entirely broken, and smoke filled the air. My ears rang, and the feeling was unbearable. "Jared!""Jared, please stop!" Cindy's and Stephen's voices entered my ears. When I turned around, I saw the two of them running after me, as if trying to stop me. I shook my head. My fingers held my belly as I hurried toward the cars. "Shawn, I have to save Shawn.""He's in there alone.""I need to save him." I mumbled mindlessly as I tried to reach the car faster. The smoke was getting thicker, and sharp cracking sounds could be heard. It seemed like the cars were about to catch fire. Everything happened too fast. I spent all my energy trying to run as fast as I could, but it seemed that time was working against me intentionally. No matter how hard I ran, getting to the car seemed impossible. Then, what
