Eight more hours and the challenge is over for the day. “They should be doing something,” Jason thought. Jason stood, anxious about what was going on inside Elena’s window. There were deaths on other windows already and the field had been inhabited by gloom. He was hoping everything went just as fine. To the human eyes and to those who could be fooled, he was just a little boy. Betty was a gift of heaven and he could never be more proud of her for becoming the best version of herself.

Jason moved forward in his seat "Twenty-four years ago, there was news about the Wellington missing 8-month-old baby because the nanny got distracted," Jason said and unlocked his tab showing her the news article. "How did he get this?" Dr Andesh thought and quickly grabbed her cup of coffee. "You are going to need some more coffee. Good thing I didn't take mine," Jason said pushing his cup of coffee to her as he was reading her every reaction and can also sense her discomfort.

I meant to stand up. Instead, I sat back down for one more minute, drawn again to the television. The screen changed. And suddenly Jason was there. I stared. What? I grabbed the remote and turned the volume up. Jason stood outside Ambrosia, of all places, looking solemn and just disheveled enough to suggest grief rather than carelessness. “I had no idea,” he was telling the cameras, voice grave and heavy. “The depths to which that family had sunk.” I sat up straighter.

Jason spoke calmly when they were about to bring Ignacio home. "Doctor Sky…" The Jonas Family members already felt hopeless, but their hopes were revitalized when Jason spoke. "I can give it a try, but I can't guarantee the outcome. Don't blame me if he dies," Jason spoke calmly. "Thank you." Everyone within the Jonas Family instantly bowed in gratitude. Jason returned to his seat and wrote a list. "Tell Dustin to buy all these things," Jason ordered. "Have you people heard of the story where someone extended their lifespan using the seven stars on the five-foot hill?" Jason asked.

You don’t know where everything went wrong, and you're too scared to leave. He had told me to sleep on the couch, so I savored the last drag on the cigarette and put it out. Placing the cigarettes and lighter back exactly how he had them, I hoped he wouldn't notice any missing. Then, I lay down on the couch with my comfy reading blanket. I prayed for sleep to take me, and eventually, the exhaustion caught up and took me under. As I felt myself sinking, I wondered if dying would feel that blissful. I wondered if it would be better because I finally wouldn’t be so tired all the time. It seemed that’s all I felt anymore, heavy limbs, heavy mind, heavy heart.

“Yeah. You’re gone.” Nathan let his head fall back against the couch and closed his eyes for a second. And all he saw… was her. Jason walked over to the minibar, cracked open a bottle of water, and tossed one to Nathan. “You know what I think?” Nathan caught it without looking. “This better be good.” Jason plopped down in the armchair across from him. “I think you’ve been numb for so long, you forgot what it feels like to feel something.”

“I have nothing, I am nothing. I'm alone. I have no one. Annie is emerging as a hope for my meaningless life, Laura. Annie is like a rope thrown at me to pull me out of the depths I'm in. That's why I'm begging you; I don't want to lose her now that I've found her; I don't want to lose her as I lost you."

I didn't know what to think or what to say, it was happen

Chapter 72 Andrea - POV The room was quiet again, but something in the air had shifted. The heaviness that had wrapped itself around my chest all day started to loosen its grip. Not completely—but enough for me to breathe again. Jake was still seated across from me, his elbows resting on his knees, eyes steady. He hadn’t looked away from me since he dropped the bomb about Jason’s money laundering. It still felt surreal, like something out of a crime drama. Every time I heard something new about Jason, I realized I never really knew the man I had spent fifteen years of my life with.
