No Way Back (Jane and Hugh) by Anna Mac novel Chapter 28

Chapter 28

At that moment, an angry voice rang out.

It was Lila.

Lila glared angrily at Peter. “If you dare to bother Janie, I’ll make sure you pay for it!”

Lila had a bad feeling when she saw Peter.

Peter had broken his word by hitting Jane in the face.

Based on the Fowler family’s attitude toward Jane, it was almost certain that Peter had come to make things difficult for her.

Although Jane appeared unperturbed, as her best friend, how could Lila have not known?

In reality, Jane was scared of being lonely. She was afraid of the cold and being alone.

Jane craved her family’s warmth, embrace, and care more than anyone else.

After much difficulty, she finally found her family. In the end, it only brought her more pain and mis*ry.

Jane only appeared strong on the outside.

Her heart had been pierced thousands of times by the Fowler family, which had made it numb.

Lila could not allow Peter to hurt Jane again.

Peter knew that Lila was Jane’s best friend. Thus, he pursed his lips, choosing not to explain further, and walked away.

“Stop right there!”

Lila wanted to chase after Peter, but she was stopped by lan.

“Lila, class isn’t over yet. Do not simply run off.

“That’s other people’s business. I know you’re on good terms with Jane, but

I don’t think you should interfere now.”

“But, Professor Henderson, Jane is already…”

Lila paused in mid-sentence.

All she could do was watch furiously as Peter walked away.

Lila could not say aloud that Jane had already severed ties with the Fowler family and moved out. Jane no longer had any relations with the Fowler

family.

If this news got out, a person with ill intentions might use it to hurt and make fun of Jane.

“Peter Fowler, if I find out about you bothering Jane again,” Lila thought, “I won’t let you get away with it!”

Peter wanted to find Jane.

Unfortunately, the University of Oricle was huge.

Also, according to the professor, lan Henderson, Jane seemed to have left for a while.

If she left the University of Oricle and had no way of contacting her, it would be a difficult task to locate her in the vast Stormton City.

Peter did not have Jane’s contact details.

He also did not know where Jane liked to hang out at the university…

Or where she would go if she had left the university.

Back when Jane took her things and left the Fowler family’s villa, where had she stayed?

Had Jane moved into Lila’s place or a hotel or rented a place?

Peter had no idea.

That was when it suddenly hit Peter.

He had been very heartless.

How could he have been so heartless to the biological younger sister who had been lost for 19 years?

He did not even bother trying to understand her.

He regarded her with disgust and verbally abused her. He kept her far away from him and refused to let her come close.

Even after using Madelyn as an excuse, it still did not hide how Peter had failed Jane as a brother.

Jane’s favorite food, the clothes she wore, the places she went to…

Peter did not even know that Jane had such an amazing hidden talent.

Peter slowly came to a halt.

He was wavering. He was scared.

He was harboring such an attitude while searching for Jane.

When Peter found her, what could he say to her?

Peter felt hesitant and conflicted.

Just then, his phone chimed.

It was a message from Larry.

Larry’s message read, [Peter, some classmates said they saw Jane sitting out in the sun by Lake Visu in school.]

Peter replied, [Thanks.]

Peter put away his phone and took a deep breath.

Peter was not going to meet Jane as her brother.

He would go as a job seeker.

As long as he went with such an attitude, things would not get too awkward.

At least, Peter hoped so.
