Ch. 1541..1550
Chapter 1541
Grand Old Master Yorks was thrilled to hear that." Jens and Baby Robbie have made great contributions this time. I'll give them substantial rewards when they return." Jay left swiftly.
There were agents roaming about in Yorks Stronghold, and danger lurked on every side.
The safe passage was growing less safe by the minute.
Several agents eventually discovered the safe passage and blocked the entrance to stop the army forces from advancing.
The agents held submachine guns while standing in the cramped and narrow passageway, staring at the elderly, women, and children.
"Which one of you is Angeline Severe?1' an agent asked ferociously.
Angeline felt her heart skip a beat. She slowly pushed the crowd in front of her away and stepped forward.
Zayne paled in fright and hurried after her, pulling her back. He held her hand firmly so that she would not step out.
Judy glanced at Angeline and sneered, "What a
coward. Are you going to drag everyone down with you?"
Angeline stared dazedly at Judy. Her gloating expression looked extremely glaring to her eyes.
This girl had a crush on Jaybie and was extremely hostile toward her. She was so crazily in love with him that even her mind had become terribly twisted.
Angeline swung Zayne's hand away and said, "I can't drag these innocent villagers down with me, Brother. I'll never forgive myself if they get hurt because of me."
Zayne chided her with scarlet eyes, "You can't go.
Think about Master Ares. Think about your children."
He could not care less about the villagers' lives. He just wanted his baby sister to be safe.
Angeline let out a smile. "They won't like seeing their mother and wife acting like a coward either."
Zayne said in an overbearing tone, "They don't like it but I do. I can support you forever, Sis."
As Zayne and Angeline spoke in hushed voices, Judy hinted at her best friend with her eyes. The girls then stepped aside. With that, Angeline was in the open within the agents' field of vision. Angeline was not dressed in the villagers' complex folk costume, hence it was easy for the agents to identify her.
"Come here," an agent ordered fiercely.
Angeline walked over anxiously.
She was frightened out of her wits. Her hands that were hidden under her sleeves began trembling as fine beads of sweat covered her forehead.
"Come with us," the agent ordered.
Zayne threw himself forward. "Don't take my sister away."
He waved his vigorous and tough fists at the agents.
Angeline looked at her brother, tears gushing out of her eyes.
Her brother had been gentle and weak ever since he went through the surgical operation. He had never behaved this viciously before. Her big brother would only turn frenzied for her sake. An agent suddenly raised his muzzle and aimed it at Zayne.
Angeline yelled, "Kill him and I'll bite my tongue and end my own life."
The agent wanted to keep Angeline as a hostage, hence they had scruples about shooting Zayne. They simply launched a kick and sent Zayne sprawling to the floor.
Zayne ignored the pain and threw himself forward, hugging the agent's leg firmly. "Let my sister go."
Sis Shirley covered Baby Zetty's mouth firmly so she would not say a word.
Josephine pushed her way out of the crowd, but when she rushed up to them, she was held back by the villagers. Judy reprimanded her, "You're seeking your own doom." Josephine cried aloud, "If I have to die, then I'll die with him. Let me go!"
Chapter 1542
Chapter 1542
Sis Shirley cried out, "Angeline, Zayne!"
Angeline saw how much they were suffering because of her. She gritted her teeth and stomped her feet as they hurriedly left.
Jay came from the other side of the passage and saw Zayne lying on the ground, riddled with scars. Josephine and Sis Shirley were sobbing on the side. Suddenly, his heart turned anxious. "Where's Angeline?" Jay asked in a panic.
"Little Sister was taken away by those b*stards," Josephine cried out.
Jay staggered and almost fell to the ground. He angrily glanced around the other untouched elderly, women, and children. A harsh voice rang out in his heart, 'Why did they have to take my Angeline hostage?' Judy looked at him, somewhat ashamed. Her gaze was evading his as she did not dare to face him at this moment.
Jay suddenly went crazy and ran forward.
Judy ran up to him hurriedly. "It's dangerous, Brother Jay."
Jay looked back and gave her a death stare. Judy had never seen Jay despising her in such a manner before. His eyes were filled with resentment, and it made her back off in fright.
Judy was clearly capable of dealing with those agents, yet she chose not to save Angeline. This made Jay feel extremely scornful at her cold-blooded heart.
When compared with Judy's selfish and narrow outlook on love, Jay certainly preferred Angeline.
Angeline's 'love me, love my dog' attitude was what he loved the most.
It was like when Angeline had chosen to sacrifice her own safety countless times to save Josephine. She loved Jay, and she wanted to protect everyone who loved Jay. Judy did not possess such qualities as Angeline.
Her type of love was catastrophic, and Angeline's love was salvation.
"Don't follow me," Jay reprimanded her viciously.
The expression he had in his eyes as he looked at her was pure abandonment.
He then rushed out like an arrow from its bow.
The passage's exit was a cliff cave, and the escape route could only be used by wires or climbing tools for both going up and down.
Jay stood at the cliff cave's entrance as he had no clue
which way Angeline had gone. Utterly exasperated, he slammed his fist against the stone wall and let out a screaming howl.
After a moment of dismay, he pulled himself back together and began searching for her.
Not long after, Angeline was brought to Sis Thirteen by the agents.
Seeing Sis Thirteen, Angeline's nervousness and panic calmed down.
Sis Thirteen looked at her, and the kid's face was clearly filled with innocence. However, Sis Thirteen's expression was so mature at that moment that Angeline had an illusion that she was an older adult who had experienced the vicissitudes of life.
"Your son has taken my daddy. So, taking you is merely fair," Sis Thirteen said. Her tone was utterly lacking in emotions.
When Angeline heard this, a smile appeared in her eyes.
Baby Robbie and Jenson had taken control of the overall situation?
Knowing that her sons were safe, Angeline forgot that she was in danger as well.
She smiled relaxedly. "What's the point of capturing me? Do you think the people in Yorks Stronghold will give up the safety of 100,000 people just for me?"
Sis Thirteen retorted coldly, "No. But Master Ares
might."
Angeline was dumbfounded. She did not expect such a young child to have such a quick-witted perception.
Sis Thirteen looked at Angeline. The cruelty that should not belong to a child emerged in her eyes. "My daddy said that if this revenge plan fails, then the only option we have left is to destroy you. Because if you're dead, Master Ares won't live well either. Your children will also have a taste of not having any parental love. This can be regarded as the Boyes' revenge."
Angeline was stunned. "So, we've guessed it right after all. You really are descendants of the Boyes."
Sis Thirteen became emotionally unstable when she heard the word 'Boye'. "Us Boyes would have been prosperous and wealthy for a whole lifetime. But because of the Ares and Yorks families' greed, the Boye family was destroyed."
Chapter 1543
Chapter 1543
Angeline sighed sorrowfully and sat down beside Sis Thirteen.
She said with much regret, "Sis Thirteen, do you think that only the Boyes were ruined? The Areses had the same fate, didn't we? Didn't the Yorks as well? I truly hope that the older generation's grievances will come to an end and innocent children will not be affected anymore."
Sis Thirteen lowered her head, and her eyes were dark and unpredictable.
The gunfire on the mountainside gradually subsided, and the fierce battle seemed to have come to an end.
Angeline saw Sis Thirteen's boundless and empty gaze.
Angeline hated this war and despised the older generation's greed, but she could never hate this child.
She suddenly stretched out her hand and held Sis Thirteen's tightly as she comforted. "Don't be afraid. Even if the military intelligence division loses this war, I won't let Doomsday hurt you. But you have to promise me, you'll give up on this enmity and turn over a new leaf. Live your own life."
Sis Thirteen looked at her in a daze.
Angeline's gentle and loving kindness made her feel a burst of warmth inexplicably. It was like the shadow of Mommy who she cherished in her heart.
"For as long as I can remember, my dad told me that I have no grandparents and no mommy because the Areses and the Yorks killed every single one of my relatives. I have known since I was a child that my mission is to avenge the Boyes... Now that everything has come to an end, I don't know how to go on living my life in the future. It would be better if I die."
Angeline smiled. "Silly child. Your daddy may be a good leader, but he's by no means a good father.
Although parents are the ones who gave birth to their children, they should not interfere with their child's lives. Lil Thirteen, after the war is over, you can be yourself again. Live like a normal child, go to school, make friends, and enjoy your time in class. You'll live a carefree life. I think you'll love it."
A carefree life?
Sis Thirteen's eyes were filled with a longing light.
However, even this kind of longing for joy was a luxury for Sis Thirteen.
Soon, the military intelligence division's agents ran back battered and exhausted. They announced to Sis Thirteen, "Miss, the division can't come for reinforcements. We're run out of options, so the brothers are ready to sacrifice themselves now. Miss, are you..."
Sis Thirteen closed her eyes, tears rolling from the corners of her eyes.
When she reopened them, there was a sad smile on her face. "Don't worry, I'm not one to drag out an ignoble existence."
Angeline's face turned pale.
It turned out that the consequence for failing the military intelligence division's mission was to be punished by death.
"You don't need to die, Lil Thirteen. Listen to me, the war is over. There's no more military intelligence division anymore. You're no longer their agent, so there's no need to abide by their lousy rules..." Angeline was somewhat anxious, so when she spoke, it seemed unreasonable.
Sis Thirteen looked at Angeline and suddenly smiled.
Then, she ordered the two agents who followed her, saying, "Take her. Let's go."
"Where are we going?" Angeline stood up. Perhaps it was because she was dominated by nervous emotions while fleeing, her body began to react out of sorts.
She dragged her weak pace and sauntered.
Sis Thirteen was in a wheelchair, and an agent was responsible for pushing her forward. The other agent was holding a revolver to watch out for enemies who would suddenly appear around them.
Sis Thirteen said in a calm tone, "Aunty, I'm going to find a place where I can rest peacefully."
Angeline's legs became weaker. Facing the impending death, she was much more fearful than Sis Thirteen.
She was afraid of dying.
She was afraid that her children would become as lonely as Sis Thirteen without their mother.
Chapter 1544
Chapter 1544
She was even more afraid that if Jay could not find her, his heart would be broken into pieces.
Sis Thirteen took her into a cliff cave where the leaf branches were luxuriant and the mountains were lush and green. It looked like a forest in its original form as there were no traces of humans whatsoever. Sis Thirteen explained to Angeline, "This is Mount Pearl's paradise. There are tigers and beasts around, so very few people from Doomsday would come here. I think this will be my last home."
Sis Thirteen stretched out her hand, and the agent with the gun handed the revolver to her.
She raised the gun and pointed the muzzle to her temple.
Angeline suddenly held her hand and knelt as she begged, "Child, Aunty is begging you here. Please cherish your life, okay?"
Sis Thirteen looked at her with tear-filled eyes.
"They all say that I'm a demon who kills people without batting an eyelid. They say I don't have a heart. Aunty, aren't you afraid that you'll repel the others if you save me?"
Angeline said, "I only know that no one arbitrated the
previous generation's grudges and resentments. And we're all victims of that catastrophe. I don't want anyone from the Boyes, the Areses, or the Yorks to pay for previous grievances. Let us forget the past and live well from now on, alright?' 1
The two agents next to Sis Thirteen had a cold light in their eyes.
Suddenly, one of the agents viciously grabbed Angeline's hair, tugging on her entire scalp painfully. At the same time, another flew up and kicked Angeline's stomach.
Angelina curled up on the ground while she hugged her belly. Her face had turned pale from the pain.
"Miss, Angelina Severe is doing everything possible to prevent you from being loyal to the military intelligence division. We should kill her."
Sis Thirteen nodded.
She turned the revolver in her hand, and the gun made two loud bangs. The two agents' temples suddenly had a bloody hole in them each. Before they even had the chance to condemn Sis Thirteen's betrayal they fell silently to the ground.
Angelina was dumbfounded.
She finally witnessed Sis Thirteen's cruelty and heartlessness.
Sis Thirteen threw the pistol down the cliff. Staring at the frightened Angelina in a daze, she said, "Now do you still think that a person like me will fit in in those simple and pure schools?"
Angeline could not recover her senses for quite some time.
Afterward, Angeline proceeded to nod.
"This is a place where the sun does not shine, so you're able to kill in the dark without fear. But a school is a beautiful place that can wash away your impurities. I believe you'll be able to live like a normal child, one who has an ordinary yet extraordinary life."
Sis Thirteen stretched out her hand and tried to pull Angeline up.
However, Angeline was curled up on the ground, and her whole body's strength was completely drained.
Despite this, with her strong belief, she tried her best to raise her arm.
Angeline smiled at Sis Thirteen. "Perhaps Aunty will not have the strength to help you through all your ups and downs, but Aunty is willing to be your listener forever."
"That's enough." Sis Thirteen abruptly fell from her wheelchair. She slowly crawled toward Angeline and lay in her arms.
She suddenly smiled and asked Angeline, "Can I call you 'Mommy' once?"
Angeline smiled and replied, "Of course."
"Mommy," Sis Thirteen called out softly.
She was like a swaddled baby learning her very first word. It was somewhat shaky, yet she felt more than satisfied.
Chapter 1545
Chapter 1545
Angeline merely embraced Sis Thirteen as she curled up in her arms. She was like a child who was conceived in Angeline's womb.
"Thirteen, Mommy's going to bring you home." Angeline patted her gently.
However, Sis Thirteen did not respond to her.
Angeline felt that Sis Thirteen was a little too quiet, so she reached out her hand to poke her nose. However, she felt blood beside her mouth.
"Thirteen!" Angeline howled heartbreakingly.
Sis Thirteen had committed suicide by biting her tongue.
The gunshots had ended at an earlier time.
After Mount Pearl experienced that fierce battle, there was an atmosphere of suppressed darkness everywhere.
Blood was spilled and there were corpses everywhere.
Fortunately, after paying a hefty price, they finally won the war. This was a blessing in misfortune.
Jenson and Baby Robbie brought their spoils of war. Meanwhile, Grand Old Master Yorks led the residents of Yorks Stronghold to the village gates to greet them.
The Corvettes carried in eight injured beautiful girls in front of them.
Chloe, who was sitting in a wheelchair, was being pushed forward by Jordan.
Jenson and Baby Robbie were walking behind Jordan.
The Corvettes' captain dashed toward Spencer and the grand old master. He said, "Patriarch, these beautiful girls are the military intelligence division's agents. They were all injured from trying to save Lil Admiral, s o Lil Admiral instructed us to take them back for treatment."
The grand old master's sharp gaze swept across the eight girls' beautiful faces one at a time. Then, a smile appeared in his eyes as he nodded. "Since they're all friends of my great-grandson, then we at Yorks Stronghold must treat them with hospitality. Quick, please send them to the medical clinic for treatment. Tell the doctor to give them the best of the best and don't leave any scars on their faces."
Spencer bewilderedly looked at the grand old master. The old man's excessive concern over the enemies held captive was making his imagination run wild.
"Dad, they're all the military intelligence division's agents."
From Spencer's point of view, it was already nice of them to spare their lives. Who would care whether or not their faces were scarred?
Grand Old Master Yorks rolled his eyes at Spencer and reprimanded him, "How do you lack so much emotional intelligence even at your age? Look at these girls. Each and every one of them has been beaten up into this tragic sight. That means they all like Baby Robbie. I'm telling you, one of them has got to be my future great granddaughter-in-law."
Spencer quickly realized it now and hurriedly commanded the Corvettes, "Didn't you hear our grand old master? Promptly send them to the hospital. Find the best doctor and treat them with the best medicine."
"Yes."
After the girls were sent away by the Corvettes, the grand old master was caught off guard from looking at Chloe.
Although her muscles were reduced to a state of atrophy and she looked rather senile, the beauty of her past was still there. Her delicate and prominent facial features were still particularly recognizable. When the grand old master saw her, he was immediately petrified.
"Spencer, take a good look at that lady over there. Is she your sister?" The grand old master's voice began to tremble.
Spencer was choked up. "Dad, it's Sis."
The grand old master began trembling, and Spencer hurried over to support the old man. The two then hobbled toward Chloe.
"Papa," Chloe burst into tears when she saw her father whom she had not seen in a long time.
"Is that really you, Chloe?" The grand old master was pleasantly surprised.
Chloe nodded. "It's me, Papa."
Chapter 1546
Chapter 1546
The grand old master looked at his sunken and now odd-looking daughter in a ghastly manner. He inquired with much sorrow, "What happened to you?"
Chloe's eyes were filled with a vicious aura. "It's a long story. I'll tell you about it slowly in the future, Papa.”
Chloe looked around and did not see the son she was eager to see. She hurriedly asked, "Where's JJ?"
Jenson and Baby Robbie also searched around for their daddy and mommy in the crowd for quite some time but could not find them. Not only that, but even their uncle, aunt, and other familiar faces were nowhere to be seen.
Baby Robbie asked while wondering, "Great-grandpa, where's my daddy and mommy?"
"Your mommy has gone missing, so your dad's looking for her with the Ghost members," the grand old master said sorrowfully.
Jenson and Baby Robbie were so frightened that they broke into a cold sweat. The awful speculations they had re-emerged in their hearts once more.
"How long has my mommy been missing?" Jenson's nervousness overflowed from his body.
"A day and a night," replied Grand Old Master Yorks.
Jenson said to Grand Old Master Yorks in top speed," I'm handing these prisoners over to you, Greatgrandpa."
Afterward, he and Baby Robbie ran up into the mountains.
Grand Old Master Yorks raised his voice to the top of his lungs and said, "Jens, Robbie, stay safe out there."
"We got it."
At this moment, Chloe Yorks, Doomsday's former admiral and the daughter of Yorks Stronghold, once again set foot on her homeland. She was receiving a warm welcome from all sides. Chloe's old friends had come to visit her, and whenever a few women got together, they would, of course, chat about ordinary daily life.
Chloe soon learned from these folks about the love dispute between Jay, Angeline, and Judy.
Of course, these women were biased, so when they talked about the love triangle, they merely showed one -sided condemnation toward Angeline. They mentioned that she was spoiled and had a domineering character. She would keep Jay all to herself, preventing him from marrying the young and beautiful Judy.
As Judy was the daughter of Chloe's master, Zechariah, Chloe naturally had a deep affection toward her. When she found out how wronged Judy was, Chloe felt somewhat exasperated. "Angeline's such an ignorant child. Isn't it normal for a man to have a few wives and mistresses? Not to mention such an outstanding man like Jay." Chloe snarled.
The women added fuel to the fire and said, "Chlo, we also heard that Angeline has a strange disease. Her body turns weak at any given moment, so Young Master Jay has to wait on her every day. Don't you think that she's a burden to Young Master Jay? If he marries Judy, at least he'll be able to share the workload with her so he wouldn't be as tired."
When Chloe heard these, she immediately slammed her hand on the table to let her attitude be known. "As long as I'm around, I'll never let that Angeline ruin my son JJ. Men aspire to travel far and make their mark. How could he stick around at home because of her? Does that even make sense?"
The green mountains were vast and filled with grass.
Cole was with Jay, and they finally reached the uninhabited forest.
Before entering the forest, Cole solemnly instructed everyone, "There are ferocious beasts here. When you enter the forest, fire your shots for help if you encounter danger."
Before Cole finished speaking, Jay took the lead and ran into the dense forest with ridges and verdant mountains.
Zayne and Cole quickly followed suit.
However, there were no road tracks. The hills were green and the bushes were dense. It did not take long before everyone got separated.
Jay was walking in front. He had not closed his eyes for a whole day now. Traces of dark eye bags were starting to appear under his eyes, and it made his thin face look haggard.
"Angeline!" No one knew how many times he had shouted her name out loud. His voice sounded hoarse now.
He yelled and ran at the same time...
Perhaps the heavens were kind to those who were resolute.
Chapter 1547
Chapter 1547
Jay found Angeline on a random steep mountain road.
Not too long ago, the hungry and tired Angeline carried Sis Thirteen on her back and crawled through the dense forest. Finally, her body gave in and she fainted.
When Jay saw Angeline lying on the ground motionless, his mind went nuts. His breathing was shallow and raspy.
"Angeline!" Jay's face went pale as he ran over in a panic.
He knelt on the ground and checked for signs of life on Angeline. When he finally felt her faint breathing, Jay's tense nerves finally relaxed slightly.
"Angeline." He separated Sis Thirteen and Angeline, then held Angeline in his arms like she was the most precious treasure in the world.
He wrapped his windbreaker around her, worried that she would be cold.
When Zayne and Cole got there, they saw Jay glancing at Sis Thirteen with a complex expression on his face. He said to them, "Bring Sis Thirteen home." Cole and Zayne reacted indifferently.
Cole muttered, "This kid is already killing people at such a young age. It would be a pleasure to watch her have an agonizing death."
Jay said, "She can't die just yet."
Zayne came to his senses and replied, "That's right! My sister was her prisoner. If she really poisoned my sister, I can torture her to gain intel about the antidote."
Cole rushed forward and carried Sis Thirteen. They then hurriedly headed back.
Cole got the best doctor in Yorks Stronghold to take a look at Angelina as soon as Jay brought her back to Green Plum Town. The doctor examined Angelina and said, "Mrs. Ares doesn't have the strongest immune system to start with, and she's in shock after not eating for a long time. She'll be fine after some rest, don't worry."
Jay never left Angelina's side. She eventually woke up.
Angelina had a cold. Her weak and delicate body was broken down by hunger and cold.
She had a fever on and off. She was also hit with waves of lethargy.
Jay did not dare to relax for even a moment. He stayed by her bedside and took care of her.
"Jaybie, I'm sorry, I made you worry about me again." Angelina smiled and apologized when she woke up.
Jay held her soft hand. His handsome face was a little haggard, but he looked happy.
"You have a cold. My dearest Angeline, you'll get better soon."
No one knew how afraid Jay had been when he searched for Angeline all over the mountains and plains. He was so scared that he would never see her again. He felt like the luckiest man in the world when he finally found Angeline.
When the doctor announced that Angeline was okay, he was relieved and overjoyed.
No matter how tired he was, it was all worth it because Angeline was safe and healthy.
Angeline looked at the bedroom door and asked in a weak tone, "Where are Jens and Baby Robbie?"
Jay was excited and said, "Angeline, they're safe and back home. Our family is reunited."
Angeline feared up. "Mm."
Jay went out and called out to Jens and Baby Robbie," Mommy wants to see you."
Jens and Baby Robbie, who had been waiting outside, excitedly ran into their mommy's bedroom.
"Mommy!"
When Angeline saw Jens and Baby Robbie, she laughed happily even though she felt fatigued. Perhaps because she was in a good mood, Angeline's condition gradually improved.
"Jaybie, help me get up." Angeline reached her hand out to Jay.
Baby Robbie wanted to go up to help Mommy, but Jens grabbed him and said, "Don't be a busybody."
Baby Robbie was taken aback.
"How am I a busybody? That's our mommy. It's only natural for us to take care of her?"
Jens gave him a look.
Chapter 1548
Chapter 1548
Baby Robbie saw that his daddy had helped Mommy to sit up. The two of them had this look in their eyes that was full of love and smiles. Baby Robbie facepalmed himself.
Well, it seemed like he was being a busybody after all.
Baby Robbie touched the back of his head embarrassedly and muttered, "Daddy and Mommy, are we being third wheels?"
Jay was not sure what to say.
Angeline smiled and replied, "Oh, my boys are all grown up and are going through their first dawning of love?"
Jay was speechless once again.
"Angeline, let's be serious for a moment," Jay said with a stern face.
Angeline said, "There's nothing serious to talk about. I was just thinking, Jens and Baby Robbie should lead a normal life. So, I want them to take the high school entrance examination with Baby Zetty this year."
As soon as Angeline's voice fell, the three similarlooking handsome faces all showed a petrified expression.
Jenson had graduated from the Legendary Youth Academy. His stellar academic achievements set him far apart from those who went to Ivy League schools. It would be a waste of his time for him to go for the high school entrance exam.
Although Baby Robbie was a child with a very high IQ, his heart was set on martial arts. In the future, he could become a martial arts master. He did not have to follow the academic pathway of ordinary children.
Angeline listed her reasons. "The intention behind getting both of you to go to high school is not to learn. I just think that Jens is introverted and it would be good for him to make some new friends in school. That way, he won't be living a boring and mundane life anymore. As for Baby Robbie, no matter how good he is in martial arts, he needs some cultural education so he doesn't become a boorish fellow with a simple mind."
Angeline looked at the three men who had a look of resistance on their faces.
Jenson and Baby Robbie looked at Daddy pitifully, hoping that their daddy would intercede and make Mommy give up on this plan.
Jay believed that education should be in accordance with one's aptitude. He did not agree with Angeline's view on this matter. After all, it was a decision that would significantly affect their children's lives. "Angeline, let's revisit this a little later?"
"Why?" Angeline was agitated and coughed.
Jay quickly patted her on the back in an attempt to soothe her.
Then, his position on the matter changed in an instant. He said to Jenson and Baby Robbie, "Your mommy's right. Would you like to consider it?"
Jenson and Baby Robbie were afraid that their mommy's illness would worsen when they saw her almost out of breath from coughing...
Baby Robbie was especially considerate of others. He pulled Jenson to the side and pleaded, "Jens, Mommy is not in good health. Let's make this promise to her. Let's not make Mommy unhappy." Jenson nodded.
"Mommy, we'll do as you say," Jenson and Baby Robbie said in unison.
Angelina's coughs stopped abruptly.
"Then, it's settled." Angeline smiled cheekily.
All three of the Ares family men were speechless.
They felt like Angeline had set them up.
Angeline waved at them and said, "Go, I'm tired and need to rest now."
Jenson and Baby Robbie looked at each other. Mommy was leaving them in the lurch after she achieved her goal.
Jenson and Baby Robbie walked out of the bedroom in frustration.
Inside the bedroom.
Jay looked at the smiling Angeline and could not help but to squeeze her face. He said, "It's pretty cool what you did. The three of us were no match for you." Angeline pursed her lips and snickered.
Chapter 1549
Chapter 1549
Angeline was awake for a bit, then slowly fell asleep. She looked peaceful and had a wide smile on her face.
Jay looked at her, and his handsome eyes that had always been covered in ice and snow could not help but burst into a happy smile.
For Jay, true happiness meant being together with the whole family where everyone was healthy and safe.
He finally felt such true happiness.
While Jay was taking care of Angeline, Chloe Yorks, who was in the half-mountain villa, was beyond furious.
"Does he not care about me? What is with that wife of his who's always sick? I've been back for a few days and I haven't seen him take the initiative to visit me, his mother! I'm nothing to him!" Chloe said angrily.
Jordan comforted her the best he could. "Angeline is sick, and it's normal for Jay to be unable to leave her side right now."
Chloe was reaching the menopausal age. If she was well taken care of and received treatment, her situation may greatly improve.
However, in the past few years, Chloe had been locked up in the underground palace of the military
intelligence division. That caused her to become more and more irritable. She had no outlet to let out her frustrations, so her temper became even more peculiar while she became self-centered.
Chloe yelled, "Didn't the doctor say that Angeline only has a mere cold? She's so squeamish just because she has a cold? Does Jay need to be by her side 24/7?"
Jordan said, "Chlo, if you want to see Jay, then we should take the initiative to visit him in Green Plum Town. We can also send our regard to our sick daughter-in-law."
Jordan felt that this was the best way to resolve the tension between Chloe and Jay.
He soon found out that he thought wrong.
Jordan brought Chloe to Green Plum Town. When Chloe saw that the scenery here was full of traces of Imperial Capital's Tourmaline Estate and there were beautiful blue jacarandas all over, her blood immediately boiled.
"Jay really loves that woman, huh? He transformed this place into something that's neither fish nor fowl for Angeline." Chloe was very jealous.
Jordan did not dare to even squeak.
"Let's go in."
When Chloe's wheelchair rolled into the courtyard of Green Plum Town and they went unimpeded into the wide-open living room, everyone looked at the uninvited guests in shock.
Everyone felt the anger that radiated off Chloe, and no one dared to open their mouths.
Chloe was very upset, so she questioned them, "Why? Am I not welcome here?"
Jenson stood up from the sofa and said in a neutral tone, "Even if we don't welcome you, you've welcomed yourself in anyway."
Chloe looked at Jenson and said angrily, "Robert Loyle, I'm your grandmother! How dare you talk to me like that?"
Jenson said, "I'm Jenson."
Chloe was taken aback.
She felt a little guilty toward Jenson. When Jenson was young, she had scared him so much that he got autism traits. She felt a pang of immense guilt whenever she saw him.
On the other hand, Baby Robbie, who was very grateful to his grandmother for quietly protecting him when they were in the military intelligence division, stood up and said politely, "Grandma, Grandpa, please come i n."
Chloe was very satisfied with how courteous Baby Robbie was. When she spoke again, her tone was significantly softer.
"Where's your daddy?"
"He's with my mom," Baby Robbie replied weakly.
Chloe frowned and said, "Is your mommy very sick?"
Baby Robbie shook his head. "No, my mommy is feeling better now."
Baby Robbie wished the best for his Mommy.

Chloe tried to hide how displeased she felt. "Since she's recovering, why is she still insisting that your daddy stay by her side 24/7?" She thought that Jay had not visited her in the past few days because Angeline would not let Jay out of her sight.
Jenson said in a chilly tone, "My mommy is sick. Do you think she has the strength to make my daddy do what he doesn't want to do?" In other words, Angeline did not try to exert control over Jay.
Jay, who was in the bedroom, heard the noise outside. He walked out, putting his long legs with perfect proportions on display.
Jay was slightly startled when he saw Chloe and Jordan.
"Dad, Mom..." Jay could not hide the surprise in his eyes, and his voice could not hide the joy he felt.
"Jay." Jordan was also very happy.
Chloe, on the other hand, felt very distressed when she saw Jay's haggard face.
"Jay, you lost weight."
Chloe was infuriated. "I understand that Angeline is sick, but there are so many servants in the household. You don't need to take care of her all by yourself. You need to take care of yourself. You're my baby." Jay smiled and said, "I don't trust others when it comes to taking care of her."
"The villagers told me that you're bending over backward for Angeline. I didn't believe it when I first heard it. But now, it seems that the rumors are true. Jay, you should never pamper a woman. One day, when she exerts control over you, you'll regret it."
The corners of Jordan's lips twitched a little. He agreed with what Chloe said.
Jay smiled as he looked at his father who had gone through a lot with his mother, then at his mother who was furious.
His father had accommodated his mother's every whim since they first met, so his father was used to being the beta. He was just happy to be wife-ridden.
Jay thought of Angeline who was still ill in bed. He said bitterly, "If Angeline were to bully me, I'd be so happy."
He liked to see Angeline lively and full of energy.
Chloe looked at Jay in distress and said, "Angeline is not in good health and can't even take care of herself. How is she able to take care of you? I've decided that Judy will be your mistress."
Jay was immediately put off and said, "Mom, I can't accept the pedantic feudal ideas that have corrupted Yorks Stronghold. Please don't impose such foolish traditions on me."
Chloe replied angrily, "How is this pedantic feudalism? Anyone who was someone from your grandfather's generation has a few wives and mistresses!"
Jay looked at Jordan almost beggingly and Jordan quickly stepped in. "Chlo, Angeline is in poor health. It's not a good time to talk about this." Chloe kept her mouth shut.
Some shuffling sounds came from the bedroom.
Jay was afraid that Chloe's words would trigger his poor Angeline.
He quickly changed the subject and said, "Mom, has the doctor attended to your muscle atrophy? What did the doctor say?"
Chloe said bitterly, "I'm not as delicate as your wife. It's just muscle atrophy. I won't die from it."
Jay did not know what to say.
The bedroom door opened and Angeline walked out wearing lounge clothes.
Her slim face was the size of a palm, and her pale skin was clear and smooth. Although she was ill and her spirit was weak, her smile could still light up the room.
Jay hurried over and said, "Angeline, don't catch a cold. Go back to bed and get some rest."
Angeline looked at Chloe and noticed that her mother and father-in-law were noticeably anxious. She was somewhat at a loss and said, "Jaybie, why didn't you tell me that Mom and Dad are here?"
