"I don't think Francis has any grudges against Harper. You should know that she cured him." Shawn refused to believe that Francis would be so ungrateful as to do such a thing.
"Francis loves Harper devotedly, but she only has eyes for Uncle Matthew. She even set a trap for Francis because of him. Francis had become vicious after Harper did that, and he couldn't get over it. He became determined to kill her. I came to the imperial capital to warn her, and it would be fine if you can tell this to her. Well, I've said what I wanted to say. I'm leaving now." Jason then flicked the dust off his robe and prepared to leave.
"Wait! Whose side are you on? Who on earth are you trying to help?" Shawn asked, stopping Jason in his tracks.
With a bitter smile on his face, Jason looked at his right hand and said, "Both the palm and back of my hand are nothing but flesh and blood. Who do you think I'm helping? I care about both of them and as much as possible, and don't want anything bad to happen to them."
"If there is only one between the two of them who should survive, who will you choose?" Shawn suddenly asked. He wasn't a vile person, but he had to be cautious when it came to Harper.
"If you can only save one person, who will you chose, your sister or Harper?" Jason asked with a small smile.
Shawn frowned and said, "That's different!"
"It's the same for me. One is my brother and the other is someone I had so much to share with. I can already consider her as my sister. I won't give up either of them! Shawn Shen, a lot of things in this world are difficult to deal with. I don't know when it will happen to you. So until then, just think about your feelings now and enjoy your life," Jason nonchalantly said.
"Why don't you go and see His Majesty? He is kind-hearted. He didn't blame you for everything that happened. Instead, he put all the blame on Prince Francis. It's obvious that His Majesty doesn't want to have you executed. Prince Francis is your brother, so is His Majesty. He understands what happened. If possible, just go and see him. Perhaps you will change your mind," Shawn advised.
Jason didn't respond and disappeared soon enough. No matter what, he couldn't go and see the emperor. He felt guilty for the countless things that he had done in secret these past few years. Everything he had done was unforgivable. Not only the emperor, but Harper would be right in not forgiving him. Therefore, he didn't want to face them, or actually, he wouldn't dare to.
