"What—" Jed's sentence was cut off midway because the chills increased and his eyes drooped. He just wanted to let go.His body system was weakening and shutting down slowly. The pain was unbearable.Just like that time where he had been shot in the rain, he wanted to close his eyes and fall into that dark, bottomless abyss.As if to serve as a boost to his morale, Vendetta chimed.Ping![User has to remain conscious. You have just one more day to complete your ultimate task!]Jed bit back a bitter laugh. What does the ultimate task matter now? In the first life, he strived but still lost.This time, he planned everything so meticulously but still failed to the enemies.Splash!"Ugh," Jed's eyes flew open as he was doused with cold water. The chill grew worse and his body froze.He trembled violently. Anna's lips twisted with a smile, "You don't fall asleep until I tell you to."Jed was barely conscious now but he still heard her words."Selena, that slut tormented me when she was aliv

Cullen got off her, adjusting the bed covers just enough to display Jane's naked body which was covered with marks.Drawing in the sight of her naked body, his eyes deepened again and he smiled."I just feel happy tonight." After receiving the news that that bastard Jed would finally be out of their life forever, he was over the moon.His smile was infectious because Jane smiled in return, she hooked her arms round him."Anything that makes you happy makes me happy too." She changed their positions and was now on top of him.As she caressed his body with kisses, Cullen sneered softly. He would see if this bitch would still repeat this when she finds out Jed is gone.****The next morning, Scarlett yawned as sun rays slowly sipped into the room casting their halo on her.She wanted to stretch her hands but suddenly realized her entire body ached that she couldn't even lift up her hand.Her eyes flew open and she groaned a little. She couldn't think of what had happened the previous nig

Five months laterLiana was sitting by the bed side quietly. She tried to focus on the book in her hands but then gave up. She looked up at the boy lying peacefully on the bed with a serene look.These past six months that he's been unconscious, his face seemed to have aged a bit and he looked more mature than when he had first fallen unconscious."Look at you sleeping there so peacefully," She poked him and drew her seat closer. "If you don't wake up sooner, I'll graduate before you and you won't have anyone to compete with you in class anymore."The ward was silent and Liana sighed. She brushed away her hair fringes and told him, "At least, it's better than you gone. I wouldn't be able to bear it if you were."She held his palm which was pale and thin but at least the doctor said he was now receiving treatments."Why have you always been so troublesome? Jed, do you know that time... the other time you were abducted in front of the school just when the news of you being th

Liana summoned the captain of her bodyguards and briefly explained what happened."Missus, I've been supervising myself. None of us have left the hall not to mention meeting the butler. We didn't see the butler come up."Liana arched her brow and opened up her phone. There was a virtual sketchpad on it and she quickly sketched out the outlines of the guard she had encountered earlier.Even the guard was surprised to see the result. He didn't know his young missus could draw.He looked at the sketch that didn't give off much information but was enough and shook his head."I have never seen this person before. But there was indeed a guard that walked in earlier. It was my mistake for not paying more attention. I'm sorry young mistress."Liana was pretty lenient. "Don't let this happen again. We knew they would strike but for so long, they only decided to do something now. Tighten the security around.""Yes ma'am!" The captain nodded and walked out. Then Liana called the butler who was o

"No, I didn't. But I did hear the part where you mentioned you hate me so much," Jed placed her palm on his chest so she could feel its heartbeat.Her palm rested on the hard contours of his chest. "Do you really hate me? I'm so sorry for making you worry."Because Liana was too flustered, she didn't realize Jed just read her thoughts and tried to pull her hand."Let go. What if someone sees?" Her face was scarlet red and Jed couldn't look away. He smiled.All those times he was in darkness, he didn't get to see this beautiful face. Now that he's received another chance, he would cherish it."It doesn't matter," He grunted softly as he raised her palm and brought it up to his lips.The nasogastric tube brushed her palm softly as he planted a kiss on it. This time, Liana blushed so hard, her skin was literally the color of a tomato."You..." She quickly snatched her palm, feeling the tingling sensation. "How can you shamelessly seduce me while on the sick bed?"Jed would have laughed i
