Against Cruelty, She Grew Strong (by Anastasia Glover) novel Chapter 639

Chapter 639 Irreplaceable Joy And Hidden Longing

This was not their real goal.

Both he and she wanted to pull the entire Langstrom family out by the roots.

To do that, they needed conclusive evidence that could destroy the Langstrom family completely.

And that was exactly what Jasper could not get his hands on right now.

He had no right to stop Tatiana.

“Tatiana.”

“Say.”

“Will you grow falling in love with Liam?”

Tatiana spun around abruptly, staring at him like he was an idiot.

Jasper instantly regretted asking the question the second the words left his mouth.

How could he have said something so foolish?

Finished

Probably because in all the scenes he’d witnessed, they looked so well–matched. Her smiles had been so bright, her gaze so sincere.

She had fooled Liam, and she had fooled him too.

“What nonsense are you talking about? If a dog bites me, am I supposed to grow fond of it?”

Jasper felt embarrassed and lowered his head, coughing twice.

“Anyway, I’m going to keep going. This injury can’t be for nothing. Compared to Jack, Liam is easier to break through. I’ll push things forward soon. Let’s split the work and team up. Is that alright?”

She held out her uninjured hand.

“Jasper, I won’t always be the one hiding behind you waiting for protection.”

Jasper hesitated for a moment, then clasped her hand in his.

“Fine, but you have to promise me you’ll stay safe. Stop everything the second you’re in danger, understand?”

“I promise.”

Their hands interlocked.

Tatiana went to pull her hand away, but his grip tightened firmly.

Jasper looked straight at her earnestly, “You will always be the most important person to me. Everything else comes second to you.”

Tatiana froze, then tugged her hand free sharply, “Save those words for the day the Langstrom family falls.”

Tammy pushed a wheelchair for a stroll in the hospital garden.

Lucas sat in the chair, noticeably much thinner, his hospital gown hanging loose on his frame.

This handsome, elegant gentleman now looked like a fragile doll that could break at any touch.

Tammy huffed and puffed as she played his devoted protector.

“Want to check out that side over there?”

“Sure.”

She heaved the wheelchair around on the spot with brute strength and rolled it forward, eyes sparkling with excitement.

A bad premonition washed over Lucas.

It stemmed from the obvious mischief shining on Tammy’s face.

“Hold on tight!”

“Wait a second! Tammy, what are you-”

Before he could finish his sentence, the wheelchair suddenly accelerated and shot forward, racing down a steep slope ahead.

The slope was quite steep, making the ride thrillingly fast.

Tammy had been holding back for ages and could restrain herself no longer. She steered the chair onto the slope, treating it like a skateboard as they zoomed downward.

“Whoa!”

She planted both feet on the back panel of the wheelchair.

“Let’s go!”

The wind swept her long hair flying, and her clear laughter echoed all around.

Lucas’s initial fear faded little by little, replaced by pure delight. He savored the wind brushing his cheeks, the fresh outdoor air, this fleeting taste of freedom, and her unbridled happiness.

“Hang on! We’re speeding up!”

Tammy thought they weren’t going fast enough and pushed off hard with one foot to gain

more momentum.

She treated the wheelchair like a toy, and Lucas like he wasn’t even a patient–no, like he wasn’t a person at all.

“Hahaha, isn’t this fun?”

Lucas couldn’t help shouting along with her, “It’s amazing!”

All the gloom weighing on him from days stuck in the ward melted away in that instant.

At the fastest point of their descent, Lucas glanced back at Tammy behind him.

Her bright, beautiful face was split into a wide grin, shining brighter than the sun itself.

She was always like this.

Somehow, she became his rock whenever he needed one most.

They reached the bottom of the slope, and Tammy slammed on the brakes hard.

“Phew, that was awesome. Wanna go again?”

“Absolutely.”

She quickly wheeled the chair back up the slope, never once complaining about the weight or exhaustion, then zoomed back down with Lucas once more.

They were having such a great time that neither noticed a figure standing silently hidden in the tree shadows, his features swallowed by darkness.

It was Norman, who was supposed to be enjoying himself in Las Vegas.

He had flown back the previous day, tracked them down, and come straight here.
