Ch. 1301..1310

Chapter 1301

Carson pulled Zayne away and reasoned with him. "Young Master is more heartbroken than anyone to hear about Ms. Severe's death."

Now that Angeline was gone, Cole's soul seemed to have left with her as well.

In Cole's case, nothing was more lamentable than a dead heart!

It had never occurred to Spencer that he would make things worse. Initially, he thought that once Angeline and Cole had slept together, Angeline would then give in and stay with Cole willingly.

What he did not foresee was her strong will to die in glory than to live in dishonor.

Angeline's character resembled Cole's mother very much.

Upset and troubled, Spencer came to a small chapel with a gloomy look on his face.

His first wife, Crystal Sullivan, was dressed in a khaki habit. She was sitting cross-legged on a mat and praying piously with her eyes closed.

Spencer walked over and sat down across from her, staring gloomily at his wife.

The demeanor that made her seem as though she had purged her mind of desires and ambitions suddenly ignited the flames in his heart. He said sarcastically," Stop praying. All you ever do is turn the prayer beads and don't even care about your son anymore. He keeps telling me that he wants to become an anchorite to threaten me. He must've learned all that from you."

As Mrs. Yorks' fingers continued to move between each prayer beads, her neither supercilious nor obsequious voice was heard. "You have so many sons, so you don't necessarily need him to carry on your ancestral line. Please be generous and spare my son. If he wants to become an anchorite, I hope you will show him your full support."

Spencer roared. "Are you taking revenge? You know better than anyone that no woman out there can replace you and that Cole is the only son I'll ever acknowledge. If you give him permission to become a n anchorite, I'm going to die without any descendants, do you know that?"

Mrs. Yorks chuckled coldly. "Oh Spencer, you can save all those honeyed words for Rudy. Anchoresses like us will only find words like that disgusting."

Rudy was Spencer's wife too, sharing the same status as Crystal.

"I knew it. You're still mad at me for marrying Rudy, aren't you? I didn't even blame you when you burned down our bridal chamber, yet here you are still mad at me. It has been more than a decade now. The anger in your heart should have subsided by now."

At the mention of Rudy's name, the beads in her hand stopped moving.

Mrs. Yorks opened her eyes slowly. There were shimmering waters in her eyes, and aggression was concealed behind her gaze.

"The resentment in my heart will never fade, Spencer. I will never forgive you for betraying me, let alone that contemptible mistress of yours."

Spencer was furious. "Don't be rude to Rudy, Crystal."

Mrs. Yorks glared at him and sulked. "If she's so precious to you, then you should go to her. What are you doing at my place?"

"You're unbelievable," Spencer uttered exasperatedly and stormed off.

Mrs. Yorks looked at the polished prayer beads dejectedly.

48 Stronghold. Woodshed.

Jay had not eaten all day and night. His bright and enchanting pupils seemed somewhat dull and listless at this moment.

When Grand Old Master Yorks brought a plate of delicious and fragrant food to the woodshed and saw Jay lying limply beside the dry firewood, a triumphant smile broke out on his face.

"You must be hungry, huh?"

Jay stared mischievously at Grand Old Master Yorks and said, "Aren't you afraid that you'll get retribution for mistreating me like this?"

Grand Old Master Yorks started guffawing." Retribution? Haha, one won't even be able to finish writing all the evil things I've done in a book. I'll be visiting the nine circles of hell sooner or later, and the nine circles of hell don't exist in heaven. It makes no difference if I kill one more person."

Jay looked at the completely unrepentant Grand Old Master Yorks and shook his head helplessly. "Hell won't accept anyone from Doomsday, old man. I'm afraid you will only be reincarnated to suffer the pain of separation from your kin and even turn into enemies with each other."

Just like them.

Grand Old Master Yorks was slightly stunned. There was suddenly a distant look in his eyes.

This reminded him of Chloe Yorks, his daughter who had died young.

Chapter 1302

Chapter 1302

Chloe was the beauty of Chaurier, and she inherited all of his strengths. She was good in martial arts, had a sharp mind, and was dedicated to helping others. Chloe was the perfect reincarnation. However, the day that she left was the day he felt the pain of his loved one leaving his side.

Chloe had knelt in front of him and sobbed. "Father, I'm reluctant to leave you, but for Ronnie's sickness, I have to look everywhere. If I don't find Mr. Boye, I swear not to come back. Wait for my news."

Once Chloe left, she never came back.

All these years, he tasted the bitterness of his loved one being gone from his side.

The look in the grand old master's eyes became cold." B*stard, how do you know where the location of the secret shelf is?"

He felt that this person must have seen the Nine Paintings that Chloe brought away with her. If his theory was correct, then this person must have been one of the people who caused Chloe's death. He could not forgive him no matter what.

Jay's gaze fell on the food on the grand old master's hands. He elegantly took a deep breath and said, "I'm

sorry, I'm so hungry that I can't speak!"

The look in the grand old master's eyes became even deeper. "B*stard, if you still don't give me a good explanation after you're done eating, TH make sure you die a painful death." The grand old master put the food in front of him.

Jay's arms were restrained, and he was not willing to bury his head into the plate. As such, he looked at the grand old master and took his chances. "Can you feed me?"

The grand old master was at a loss of words.

He picked his ear and said, "I heard you right, didn't I? You want me to feed you?"

Jay replied, "I'm a clean freak and I have OCD. If the food sticks to my face, I'll become very angry."

The grand old master shuddered.

He remembered that his little princess Chloe had the same habit.

He looked at Jay as the look in his eyes became colder and colder.

He was without a doubt that this guy had seen his daughter, so he was using this as an excuse to get on his good side.

He carefully fed Jay until everything was finished. He then put the plate down and looked at Jay with a villainous and vicious aura.

"Speak." He forced that word out between his teeth.

Jay's smile slowly faded. He knew more than anyone how ruthless this man could be.

However, he was not one to give in either. He looked at the grand old master and asked, "Old man, do you have any remorse about the massacre in Tourmaline Estate three years ago?" The grand old master replied, "If I could turn back time, I would make the same decision."

Jay clenched his fist as hate seeped from his eyes.

"I'm sorry, then. I will never give you the answer that you're looking for."

Noel was furious. "You dare trick me?"

Jay looked back at him fearlessly. "Every vengeance has its target. If you're exacting revenge on the Ares family, then why involve the innocent as well?"

Grand Old Master Yorks recomposed himself amid his wrath. "Who are you?"

Jay still dared not expose himself. If he let this God of Murder know that he was still alive, he would surely look for other survivors of the Ares family.

Before that murderous intent of the grand old master faded away, the Ares family would not live to see another day.

Jay hated Doomsday, but he hated this old man more. He gritted his teeth and roared. "I'm the most innocent person in that tragedy!"

Chapter 1303

Chapter 1303

What wrong had he done for him to witness the murder that both his grandfathers brought?

His wife and kids also had to suffer. Jay endured it all, but it did not mean that he did not carry any hatred in his heart.

Noel had no idea what he was talking about, so he thought that Jay was ignoring him. He suddenly punched him in his stomach with fury.

Jay curled up in pain.

Grand Old Master Yorks said to him, "If you want to die, I shall grant you your wish."

How could Jay die like that? He still had Angeline and his kids. Besides, he still had a mission to complete.

Thus, he replied without hesitation, "Old man, if you kill me, I can guarantee you that someone will take the Nine Paintings and destroy the whole of Mount Pearl. You can taste the bitterness of losing everything that you have by then."

Grand Old Master Yorks' fist halted in the air. The Nine Paintings was the one thing that he was worried about the most.

When Jay saw the fearful look on the Grand Old Master Yorks' face, he laughed.

The grand old master held grudges, and he had to

exact his revenge for every grudge he bore. When he saw that glee on Jay's face, he felt very unhappy.

"B*stard, don't get too cocky. So what if you have the Nine Paintings? Mount Pearl is treacherous and hard to get into. I can guarantee that you won't survive the trip back home."

Grand Old Master Yorks rolled his eyes at Jay. "Do you think that you can get out safely without handing over the Nine Paintings?"

Jay replied, "This place is great, I eat and stay for free, and I have you to feed me as well. I'm having the time of my life here, so I don't think that I'll ever leave."

Grand Old Master Yorks looked at him, speechless. The life of a prisoner was always bitter and hard, but this guy was having fun.

The grand old master had no way against Jay's calm and collected composure.

"Come, let's punish him. I don't believe that you'll still be that cocky under my torture."

A few people walked into the room.

They pulled Jay up and tied him to a wooden pole. Then, they produced whips and whipped him.

Jay was not afraid. Instead, he simply looked at the grand old master and said, "Old man, don't hit my face, alright? My missus loves my face. If I turn ugly, I'm afraid that she won't like me anymore." Grand Old Master Yorks said, "Your missus won't like you forever then."

Jay felt his heart sink as worry started to seep out from his eyes. "What do you mean? What did you do to my missus?"

Grand Old Master Yorks looked him dead in the eye. He never would have thought that this guys' weakness was his woman.

He was delighted as if he had discovered a plot of land. "Hohoho, little b*stard, you're really a strange one. You're not afraid of torture, but you're afraid of your missus!"

Jay's expression was nothing but frost and ice. "Old man, if you dare to touch my missus, I swear that I'll destroy the entirety of Mount Pearl if it's the last thing I do!"

The grand old master crossed his arms and said, "Oh I'm so scared. But what should I do? Your missus is dead!"

Dead!

That word woke Jay up like a sleeping lion. He suddenly let out a ground-shaking roar. "No!!"

That roar shook up the grand old master for a bit.

It was just a dead missus. This guy was overreacting.

Chapter 1304

Chapter 1304

Jay's actions in the next few moments made Noel Yorks regret everything he did.

Jay suddenly flew into a fit of rage. As he roared to the skies, he broke free from the ropes that bound him. His eyes were streaked with red, becoming bloodshot.

He grabbed the whip in his hand and lashed out, striking one of the lackey's back. That lackey spewed blood and passed out immediately.

Noel stared at him in disbelief. Jay was quick and agile, but the scariest thing was that he had a murderous intent swirling around him as if he could hold a thousand men on his own.

Jay held the whip in his hand and continued to whirl it in the air. Crackling sounds rang in the air while a loud rumbling came from wherever his whip came in contact with.

Soon enough, the room soon became a pile of rubble.

Jay leaped out and rushed toward Refreshing Breeze Courtyard.

Noel continued to bark orders, "Stop him. Don't let him get away."

Noel thought of his Nine Paintings, then looked at the dark aura swirling around Jay as he destroyed

everything around him. That was the first time he felt fear in his heart.

He roared out loudly, "Quickly, dispatch the other guards to stop him."

Jay did not intend to keep on fighting. He simply wanted to see Angeline and confirm that she was safe.

"Angeline!!" He roared in agony.

The guards tried to form a meat wall in front of him, but after Jay managed to break through, all that was left was nothing but blood and more blood. Soon enough, Cole and Spencer rushed over.

Cole commanded, "Stop, everyone."

The guards had surrounded Jay, but when they heard Cole give the order, they put their spears aside and stepped back. Their eyes were still fixed on Jay.

Jay glared hatefully at Cole with bloodshot eyes and asked, "Cole Yorks, what happened to my missus?"

Cole replied despondently, "Miss Severe was insistent on leaving. She fell off the cliff because of an avalanche."

Jay could not accept that, and his heart still carried a glimmer of hope. "I'm going to look for her. Lead the way."

Cole choked up and said, "Give up, she's not coming back."

Those words sounded like he had given Angeline a death sentence, so Jay started to go wild again. "What do you mean she's not coming back? Explain yourself!"

Cole had an awful look on his face, and there were tears in his eyes. "Ben, when the guards went to look for your missus, they only found a pair of shoes in the ice and a pool of fresh blood."

Jay's heart suddenly sank into the abyss. He felt that the entire world was about to end. He could no longer find the strength to live on."

If there was anything left, it was his stubborn nature. He would not believe it until he had seen it. He roared, saying, "How are you so sure that the blood is Angeline's?"

Cole replied, "Wild beasts have always been prowling around that area. Angeline is crippled, so she can't fight back..." He could not continue.

However, Jay caught an important point. "Wasn't Angeline fine? Why did she become crippled again?"

Cole shut his eyes as guilt slashed across his heart like a dagger.

He was ashamed to say anything, but he felt that a man had to take responsibility for his own actions, so he still confessed.

 

Chapter 1305

Chapter 1305

"I'm sorry, I... I hurt her. I thought that she would stay if everything was said and done."

Cole's words hit Jay like a truck, disorienting him...

When he thought that Angeline had suffered even before that tragedy, Jay went completely insane.

"Cole Yorks, I'll kill you."

Jay's figure became blurry as he suddenly appeared in front of Cole in a flash. The whip came crashing down on Cole's body, tearing his shirt open and staining the inside of his shirt with blood. "He's mad, he's insane," Spencer said, dumbfounded.

Jay was mad. Now that Angeline was dead, he was completely crazy.

He had lost all rationale at that point. He simply wanted to fight on and avenge Angeline. There would be no stopping until everyone was dead.

The guards quickly surrounded Jay like a meat wall, separating him away from Cole.

Jay leaped into the air, and his whip knocked down all the guards around him. The next moment, Jay's whip was wrapped around Cole's neck and it was slowly tightening.

Cole suddenly felt his breathing tighten before slowly stopping.

Spencer watched as his son was on the brink of death. As his face paled, he roared. "Ben, what do you want so that you'll let Cole go?"

Jay gritted his teeth and said, "I want you to give me Angeline back. Then, I'll let him go."

Spencer's face was ashen.

Angeline was dead, so how could they give her back to him?

When Cole felt that his life was on the line, he suddenly thought of something. 'Why is Ben so concerned about Angeline?'

It would be natural if he was upset about Angelina's death, but it should not be to the point where he would go crazy like this.

Ben cared for Angeline so much that he felt so much guilt in his heart.

At that moment, Jay held Cole hostage and said to him with a hoarse voice, "Cole Yorks, bring me to Angeline."

If he did not see her body, he would not believe that Angeline had left him.

Cole nodded. "Alright, I'll bring you to her."

Cole brought Jay to their destination. The snow had entirely covered any trace of Angeline falling off a cliff.

However, there was still a pool of blood there.

Cole knew that Ben would not give up just like that, so he told him, "I've ordered for a blood test. It's type 0, just like Angeline's."

Jay's knees gave way as soon as he heard those words. He went down on his knees and roared in agony.

"Angeline, Angelina!" he muttered and roared as if that would bring her back.

His heart was completely dead, and he let his guard down.

At that moment, Cole realized that the whip around his neck had loosened as well.

Spencer and Noel stood outside the cave, looking worriedly inside.

Noel felt that if Ben wanted to kill Cole, there was nothing that Cole could do about it.

He was worried about his grandson, so he decided to take the initiative. He took out a gun from his waist and looked at Spencer as he handed the gun over to him. Spencer knew that this was the grand old master's strategy at getting what he wanted. They needed to kill Ben first.

They slowly walked toward the cave.

They had overestimated Jay. Jay was kneeling on the floor, powerless and dumbstruck.

Jay muttered, "Angeline, we promised each other that we'll live and die together.

"Don't worry, I'll be with you soon enough."

Cole's curiosity became stronger and stronger as he asked, "Who... Who are you?"

Chapter 1306

Chapter 1306

The whip in his hand fell weakly to the floor.

He stumbled backward, almost losing his balance.

A hand was suddenly pressed against Cole's back, and Spencer's voice could be heard saying, "Cole, kill him."

Cole shook his head profusely, his expression obviously showing that he did not want to do it at all.

Spencer looked at his son and tried to provoke him by stuffing the gun into his hand. He tried to force him as he said to him, "Kill him. The Yorks family are not good people. If you don't kill them, then he will kill you first."

Cole threw the gun to the floor, hugged his head, and muttered in agony, "I can't kill him..."

Spencer was furious. "Why do I have such a useless son like you?"

Jay suddenly commanded Cole, "Cole, pick up the gun and kill me."

Noel and Spencer were dumbstruck. Ben was asking for death?

Spencer held the gun up and pulled the trigger as he aimed at Jay, roaring. "Alright then, I'll grant you your wish."

Cole suddenly leaped over, and the bullet struck his leg. He started bleeding profusely.

Spencer was astonished. Why would Cole take a bullet for Ben?

He threw the gun away and rushed toward Cole.

"Cole, are you alright?"

Cole replied weakly, "Dad, he must not die."

"Why plead for him? He's a demon. When he came to the Yorks' stronghold, everyone became afraid of him. Killing him will bring us peace of mind," said Spencer.

Cole replied, "Before you kill him, you'd better give him a DNA test..."

That sentence stunned Noel.

Noel stared at Jay in suspicion. A hot tear rolled down from the corner of Jay's eyes as he said in anguish," Wouldn't it be nice if we could choose our family? Angeline, you wouldn't have suffered so much pain because of me if that was the case."

Noel's pupils shrank as he thought back to what Jay had said to him previously. "Old man, I'm a clean freak and I have OCD..."

"Cole, who is he?" Noel asked in frustration.

Cole looked at Jay who had a facelift and said weakly, "I'm not too sure if it's him. I thought that he was dead."

Noel cared for his grandson, so he did not have the heart to question him like that. He told Spencer, "Let's patch the kid up first."

Jay caught them off guard and quickly picked up the gun. He aimed the gun at his head and pulled the trigger. When Noel saw that he had nothing else to live for, panic surfaced from his heart all of a sudden. "No."

A gunshot rang in the air...

Thankfully, it was only a blank. Jay pulled the trigger again, but Noel leaped over in astonishment. "Stop it."

The gun was kicked to one side as Noel embraced him tightly. Noel expected him to fight back, so he used all his strength.

However, Jay was like a piece of cotton, showing no sign of resistance at all.

He was completely dumbfounded.

He simply muttered, "Angeline, Angeline, I'm coming to you..."

Noel had a feeling that he might go wild after he regained his senses, so to prevent that, he gave Jay a chop to the back of his head and carried him out of there. Spencer followed behind with Cole on his back.

All the guards looked at them in astonishment. Since when was a God of War like the grand old master kind enough to carry an enemy on his shoulders?

Chapter 1307

Chapter 1307

The grand old master carried him to the mansion and placed him in the room next to his.

When he looked at Jay's handsome face, Noel tried to put him as an equal to the Yorks family.

However, Jay emanated the noble aura of the king of business. He did not have the air of a bandit like the rest of the Yorks family. Jay's build, on the other hand, was completely unrivaled as he had inherited it from his father.

Noel looked at him for a long while, and dismay surfaced on his face.

How could the Yorks family have such a perfect child?

Even Cole Yorks was a massive blessing.

Noel thought to himself, 'Although Spencer fools around, he's very careful about his successors. He wouldn't keep any other child outside the Yorks family.'

Who did this child belong to then?

In the end, Grand Old Master Yorks left that question to be answered by science.

After three days, the lab tests quickly produced the results and sent them to Grand Old Master Yorks'

mansion.

When Grand Old Master Yorks heard that the results were out, he asked with anticipation, "How are the results?"

The doctor handed the reports over to the grand old master and said, "Grand Old Master, this is the report for Ben's DNA test. The results show that his DNA is similar to yours and it can be concluded that he's a direct relative."

The grand old master dropped his cup of tea onto the ground. "What did you say?"

The doctor started to theorize, saying, "Grand Old Master, Ben is probably the result of the master fooling around when he was young but with no proper disposal."

The grand old master anxiously opened up the report and it showed the comparison between Jay and his DNA. It was clearly written on the report, 'Direct relative confirmed!'

Grand Old Master Yorks froze where he stood.

After receiving such a huge shock, he suddenly felt an immense joy from the bottom of his heart.

Ben was his grandson.

He had such an excellent and strong grandson.

Ben had the looks, the brains, and honesty. He was just perfect. No matter how the grand old master looked at him, he was satisfied in every way.

"Haha, Spencer that b*stard, he made so many other children and thought that Cole was his best. He never expected that there's one better than him." The doctor was dumbstruck.

The grand old master liked Ben so much?

He laughed heartily and was very thankful. "Looks like I was wrong. Spreading more seeds will bring more surprises, it seems."

Grand Old Master Yorks was delighted as he commanded, "Get Spencer over here."

Spencer had been spending most of his time in Cole's mansion recently. Although Cole's wound was not fatal, he was still hit at a vital spot, so Spencer was worried about him.

Spencer had many wives, and they bore him many sons and daughters. However, the children were all like their mother whether it was their appearance or their martial arts skills. They could not bring glory to the family.

He was most proud of Cole. He felt that Cole was his one true son who could carry out his legacy. He felt that Cole's bloodline was the purest of them all.

"Cole, why did you want to take that bullet for Ben? Could your life compare to his? You're the 108th successor of the Yorks family."

Cole replied truthfully, "Dad, his life is more valuable than mine."

Spencer was unhappy and said, "What? Are you ashamed of being my son? Are you still taking yourself lightly even though you'll inherit billions upon billions?"

Cole did not want to argue with Spencer. Spencer had been living in a cave all this while, so he did not know how valuable the crown prince of Imperial Capital was.

At that moment, Cole was more concerned about Ben's identity, so he asked nervously, "Is Ben's DNA test out yet?"

 

Chapter 1308

Chapter 1308

Cole had his own judgment. If Ben really was Jay, the man who escaped the clutches of death, then he would tell his grandfather about his identity to prevent them from killing each other.

If he was wrong and Ben was not Jay, then he would hide Jay's secret and not give the grand old master any more trouble.

At that moment, the grand old master's servants came over and said, "Master, the grand old master wants you over there immediately."

Spencer replied, "Alright."

Cole was sure that Ben's DNA report was out, so he quickly told Carson, "Get the wheelchair and send me over there."

Spencer rushed over to the grand old master's mansion. He was afraid of seeing him, so when he stepped into First Taste Garden, he cowered in fear.

Yet, the grand old master did not chide him. Instead, he was smiling at him as he said, "Spencer, well done."

Spencer had no idea what was going on and was curiously looking at the grand old master. He carefully asked, "Dad, please explain."

Grand Old Master Yorks threw the report over to him

and said, "See for yourself."

Spencer opened up the document and took a look at the results inside. He stood up shakily, saying, "Dad, this... I..."

Grand old Master Yorks patted his shoulder and said," Don't worry, you did well this time."

Spencer was embarrassed. Every time he brought an illegitimate child back home, the grand old master would be so furious.

He was so picky and harsh toward his illegitimate children.

It was only this time that the grand old master accepted an 'illegitimate child' of his so easily. However, Spencer could not figure out where Ben came from for the life of him. "Dad, Ben isn't my son."

The grand old master chortled. "The proof is here, do you still want to deny it? Don't worry, I won't scold you this time. Instead, I want to praise you."

Spencer could tell that the grand old master fancied Ben a lot.

However, recognizing a child was a big thing, so such a thing could not be forced.

Spencer was adamant. "Dad, trust me. Ben really isn't my son."

Noel's smile slowly froze...

"Do you mean that the results are fake?"

Spencer shook his head in confusion. "This shouldn't be wrong. But he really isn't my son."

Grand Old Master Yorks was very confused.

Suddenly, Cole's voice came from behind them." Grandpa, he really isn't my father's son!"

Noel turned around, and they both looked at Cole while feeling dumbfounded.

Noel was sure that Cole knew about Ben's true identity, so he hurriedly asked him, "This DNA report states clearly in black and white that he's my grandson. Cole, why would you deny that fact?" Dismay was written all over the grand old master's face.

Cole looked at his grandfather's unhappy face and smiled. "Grandpa, he's not my father's son. He's your daughter's son!"

Grand Old Master Yorks' eyes widened...

His joy suddenly turned into elation. His biggest regret in life was that the perfect Chloe did not leave a healthy child for him.

After he got to know that Chloe's death was caused by the Ares family, he had ordered the massacre of the Ares family in all his fury. However, he never expected that Chloe would leave him with such an excellent child before she died.

 

Chapter 1310

Chapter 1310

For the next few days, Jay refused to eat anything.

Grand Old Master Yorks ordered the doctor to give him more parenteral nutrition to keep him alive.

After that, the grand old master thought long and hard about how to let his darling grandson stand on his feet again.

In the end, he sighed in despondence. The problems of the mind needed their own cure. Jay was in this state because of Angeline. To make him stand up once more, he would need to get Angeline back. How could that be possible?

Peach Blossom County.

In an inn.

Angeline lay on the bed. Her weak body, the foreign surroundings, and that mysterious teen who appeared every now and then made her feel uncomfortable.

Thankfully, there was a little girl who took good care of her. However, the little girl did not say much, so Angeline could not pinpoint their identity.

These few days, the little girl would prop her up and place the pillow behind her back before feeding her porridge.

At this moment, the teen suddenly barged in with a blade of grass in his mouth. He teased her rudely, saying, "You're so cold to everyone, yet you're taking care of her like she's your mother. If you treat me half as good as you do her, I would be more than happy."

Lil Thirteen replied with an ashen expression on her face, "Don't I treat you well?"

Although her words were not exactly nice, she helped him with everything. She would help him prepare his weapons and powders to prevent something from going wrong.

The youngster extended his leg and muttered, "I'm hurt too, but I don't see you tending to me."

Lil Thirteen,

When he came back the other day, she had checked his wound and bandaged it. Was that not service?

"How would you like me to serve you?"

"Exactly like how you're serving her. Feed me, but no need for a bath though. However, you can wash my feet for me."

"Your wound is on your leg. Besides, you can still move about. Do you really need me to tend to you?"

The young man held his chest and said, "My heart hurts so much."

Lil Thirteen turned around and ignored him.

The young man was talkative, so he felt a little out of place when he had no one to talk to.

He hopped to the bedside with one leg, looked at Angeline for a long while, and said, "This aunty looks beautiful. She looks soft and gentle too."

He pouted and continued, "It's a shame that such a woman is being bullied by a man like that. She can't speak or move, so what weird disease is this?"

Angeline was a little frustrated. Jaybie did not bully her.

Lil Thirteen looked at Angelina's red and healthy face, saying, "The prisoners in the military intelligence division mostly have this disease. I heard the doctor mention that this is called somatization disorder. It's caused by experiencing immense shock!"

The young man clenched his fists and said, "Hmph, I knew that the man was a fake gentleman."

Angelina's brows furrowed slightly.

The teen shuddered when he saw her frowning.

"Aunty, you can hear me?"

Angeline sighed internally. She felt that she would be better off if she could not hear anything.

That kid was lively and energetic, but his words were cutting and venomous. It made her uncomfortable.
