Don't Try to Escape, My Wife! novel Chapter 1285

Tears fell down from the corner of Jarrod's eyes. But no one saw it.

What did his father just do?

How ridiculous!

Jarrod was in great pain as if his body was falling apart. He felt that he might die in the next moment. However, the pain just kept tormenting him. He couldn't speak or move, like a corpse on the ground.

He didn't expect to end up being like this when he ate the Golden Bug. He thought that he could withstand the gnawing of the bugs and cleanse his body of the bug poison. He would no longer be manipulated and controlled by Aaron if he succeeded.

He also knew that the Golden Bug was extremely violent. He would die if he failed to endure it.

Jarrod made up his mind after Samuel and others left. He didn't have any back-up plan. Now, at the gate of death, he finally realized that Aaron was indifferent and ruthless towards him.

Aaron had raised him for thirty years. Although Jarrod didn't feel much warmth form Aaron, he still regarded Aaron as his father.

But Aaron disappointed him.

He was Aaron's son!

It had been 30 years. People would have developed a close relationship with their pets as time passed, not to mention human.

But Aaron treated him like a rag that could be thrown away at any time. He didn't even give Jarrod a coffin. Instead, Aaron asked people to throw him into the bugs' vat to stay with his mother, who had died long ago.

Was Aaron really his father?

What was he to Aaron?

Jarrod was heartbroken, but he also felt a bit relieved.

Aaron had left so Jarrod had no anticipation now.

The relationship between him and Aaron had come to an end.

He would repay Aaron's caring with his death today.

Jarrod closed his eyes and tears flowed down his cheeks.

There were no other people here so no one would see him being vulnerable and upset. Jarrod didn't need to hide his emotions here. He could finally cry.

Jarrod felt pain and coldness all over his body as if he was in an ice cellar.

If he couldn't make it through, he would die here. He wondered how Amelia was now. Was she worried about him?

Jarrod was regretful as he thought about what they had experienced.

He should have spent more time with Amelia.

He knew that Amelia liked to hanging around, but he never had time to go out with her. Many women had been pursuing him in the past years, but he didn't want to let Amelia down.

He still remembered the time when he was seriously injured. It was Amelia who pulled him out of the pile of dead people. She was desperate and crying. But she managed to carry him to the town and found a doctor.

That doctor said he would not save Jarrod unless Amelia slept with him. It was the first time Amelia had killed a person. She killed a person because of him.

Jarrod still remembered how helpless and sad she was. He remembered the sound of the doctor tearing Amelia's clothes. He even remembered how hoarse her voice was when she cried.

However, there was nothing he could do. He could only watch.

Finally, Amelia picked up a scalpel and killed the doctor in front of him.

When the blood sprayed all over his face, he saw Amelia trembling in panic. But even so, she still found iodine and medicine from the doctor's office and treated his wounds carefully.

Jarrod did not know how he had survived those days. There was gunfire and chaotic outside. The terrorists were everywhere. Amelia and Jarrod hid in that office for more than a week.

He had a high fever so Amelia held him and kept talking to him. She had given him all she had.

Jarrod started to see Amelia as someone important from then on.

They had been together for a long time and had experienced danger and troubles, but they did not have children. Jarrod felt that he owed Amelia too much. He didn't know if he would have another chance to shelter her. Fortunately, she had Samuel around. He might take care of Amelia.

Jarrod was miserable as he thought about it. The sentries outside had left. The ancestral hall was so quiet that he could hear his faint breathing clearly.

He suddenly felt pathetic.

If he died here, people would not know it and his corpse might not be found. Perhaps when they came here one day, there would be just a skeleton in the vat.

Jarrod forced a bitter smile as he thought about his death.

After Aaron left the ancestral hall with anger, another message came from his subordinate, saying that Morgan had entered the ancestral hall of the Harper Town and hadn't come out. And he didn't know what she was doing there.

Aaron was a little anxious.

"Follow me."

Aaron decided to face her personally this time. He went there with his persons.

If he caught Morgan and got the ancient book, he might be able to find the entrance to the ore vein.
