Dangerous Love: You Are My One and Only Bride novel Chapter 1064

Jackson nodded and pulled her back to their table, beckoning her to finish her meal while he swept his troubles under his mental rug.

He regretted mentioning Ethan’s name and frightening Tiffany like that. To be fair, he had not at all expected her to take it so badly—and now he wished he could tell her with absolute conviction that Ethan died in South Africa. But things always refused to go as smoothly as one hoped.

The weekend came. Jackson sent Tiffany away to Lilian’s place for the day and promised to come back for her at night. Then, he went straight to the Tremont Estate.

He recounted everything he knew up to this point to Mark, who, for his part, took some time to comb through the information before saying, “It’s not that hard to find out whether Alejandro Smith is or isn’t Ethan Connors—we just need to do a DNA analysis. He’s currently staying in a hospital, right? That makes it easier to get a hold of his blood sample.”

“What if he is, without a doubt, Ethan?” Jackson demurred.

Mark’s lips thinned. “My philosophy has always been to leave people who aren’t troubling me alone, but to those who wrong me? I’ll hurt them, no quarters. Quite a simple life principle, really, and it’s one that cannot be deterred by a little blood relation between the transgressor and me. Hmph, I’m the one who wants him dead the most—and he should have been… back in South Africa.”

“Jackson, this is a crucial step that you simply must make,” Mark added. “I’m sure you already know this, don’t you? If he is Ethan, then you know that everything he does revolves around Tiffany. In other words, the one who’s most in danger isn’t me—it’s you.”

Jackson nodded. “I’ll have someone get to it as soon as possible. The people working for the Smith family are notoriously hypercautious, and their bouncers now protect the hospital that bastard is in. I’ll probably have to contact some healthcare workers I know to obtain his blood sample, then. I hope nothing sh*tty happens... Honestly, if he really is Ethan, it’s only gonna be a pain in our a**. ‘Alejandro’ is probably an even more bothersome character to deal with than plain old ‘Ethan’ because the former has the protection-through-association with the Smiths.”

“Either way, I gotta jet. Tell Arianne to tell Tiffie nothing about my visit, got it? I don’t want her to know,” Jackson finished.

Mark patted his shoulder in consolation. “I understand very well. Don’t worry.”

After leaving the Tremont Estate, Jackson put his plan to action. He hesitated a bit before deciding that, in lieu of requesting help from doctors he knew, he would ask a nurse to help. A bigshot like Alejandro would have a specialized doctor meant only for him, meaning other physicians would likely be barred from coming into contact. Nurses, however, were different. Jackson figured that they presented a choice with lower risks.
