Night of Destiny (Anastasia and Elliot) novel Chapter 2398

Willow took out one of his shirts from the closet, held it in her arms, and cried uncontrollably.

Elliot and Anastasia waited in the living room outside for a long time, but their daughter did not come out. Ellen also wanted to be with her, but Willow locked herself in her room.

She was in so much pain that she could not control herself. In this very room, all the memories she had shared with Jasper surrounded her. It was as if she could turn around and see him sitting on the couch, working diligently, or she could close her eyes and feel his breath beside her; when she opened her eyes, she could see his deep gaze locked onto her.

However, all that remained now was the cold air, and this feeling was driving her crazy. Her tears flowed incessantly, and her heart was bleeding. This sense of despair and helplessness enveloped her tightly.

...

At the military hospital, Jasper had just regained consciousness. Antoine had been by his side all along and had just wanted to close his eyes for a while when he heard a shuffling. He opened his eyes and saw Jasper conscious.

"Jasper, you're awake," Antoine exclaimed as his eyes turned red.

Jasper spoke hoarsely, "I can't hear, Uncle."

Antoine immediately typed on his phone. 'Don't worry, it's temporary. You'll recover.'

"Is Willow okay?" Jasper's voice was extremely hoarse.

Antoine nodded. "She's fine and doing well. You did an excellent job on this mission."

Jasper closed his eyes, and the corners of his mouth lifted slightly. It seemed as though he did not care about his hearing loss and injuries; all that mattered was that Willow was safe.

Antoine looked at him and felt a pang in his heart. This foolish nephew of his had indeed fallen deeply in love.

Did Jasper not care about his well-being? It was heartbreaking for his family to see him like this. However, there was one thing Antoine was grateful for—Jasper had not lost his memory, and his brain seemed to be intact, except for the hearing loss.

He typed on his phone and showed it to him. 'Rest well, and don't overthink.'

Jasper nodded. At that moment, the world had become incredibly quiet, almost as if there were no sounds at all.

After being pulled down by Calvin, Jasper did not fall into the sea along with him. Instead, he grabbed onto a rock halfway down, and when the explosion occurred, he lay flat on the rock and blocked the tremendous impact. As a result, the blast shattered the rock he clung to, and he fell into the sea.

Had he not grabbed that rock and fallen into the sea with Calvin, he would have disappeared from this world.

Antoine wrote many words on the phone and finally handed it to Jasper, who took over the phone and read them. Then, he looked up at his uncle. He made a serious gesture of refusing to negotiate with Jasper and indicated that the words he had typed on the phone were his orders.

Jasper said hoarsely, "The Presgraves are onboard, too?"

Antoine nodded.

Jasper suddenly shot up in a panic. "How will Willow bear this?"

Antoine gently pushed him back down, then picked up the phone and wrote, 'You will have no contact with the Presgraves from now on. They will handle it.'

After Jasper read it, he closed his eyes, but the pain was still evident on his forehead. He could not imagine how much pain Willow would feel when she received this news. He could refrain from contacting or disappearing from her life, but he did not want to bring her a life of pain.

Antoine typed another sentence. 'I will arrange for you to take a vacation and receive treatment. During this time, you must forget about her.'

After Jasper read it, he turned his face away. Antoine knew his decision was hard for his nephew to accept, but he had to do it.

Soon, Sirius also arrived. "Persuade him, will you?" Antoine told him.

He nodded and sat beside Jasper, relieved that everything seemed okay. Jasper had taken on all the dangers in this mission and saved his life.
