He Never Noticed Me Until I Loved Someone Else novel Chapter 396

Terrified by the chaos, toddler Jarrod had tumbled out of his crib and severely cut his head. Shaking and weeping, Jeanette threw on a coat and rushed out into the night, carrying Jarrod toward the hospital. In her highly traumatized state, she didn't check the road before stepping out. A speeding car struck them.

In the split second before impact, she shielded Jarrod with her entire body, absorbing the lethal blow so he wouldn't suffer a single serious injury. She died instantly on the asphalt. When Benedict arrived and saw his wife's mangled body, he completely lost his mind and nearly beat Silas to death on the spot, only stopping just short of a fatal blow...

After that, Silas fled the country, and Benedict's spirit was entirely broken. He left Jarrod in Arthur's care, withdrew from the world, and joined a monastery to wait for death.

The tragedy remained Arthur's deepest, most agonizing secret. He had never spoken of it to anyone, not even to his second son, Edward.

Arthur genuinely believed Silas hadn't married all these years out of profound guilt and penance for destroying his brother's family.

He never could have imagined that Silas felt zero remorse, twisting the narrative to blame an innocent toddler for the catastrophe!

"Have you completely lost your humanity?" Arthur swayed, practically collapsing without his cane. "Your brother shouldn't have shown you mercy. He should have beaten you to death right then and there— *cough, cough*!"

Arthur coughed violently, clutching his chest in pain.

"Hahaha!" Silas threw his head back in deranged laughter. "I wish I had died with Jeanette that night! But God kept me alive for one reason: to destroy this little bastard!

"I've lived in pure agony every single day! Watching him grow up, watching him inherit everything... my hatred only multiplied! If it wasn't for him, Jeanette wouldn't be dead! I will strip him of everything and force him to choke on the same agony I've suffered!"

"Since the whole family's here, let's all go to hell together!"

Screaming like a maniac, Silas jammed his thumb toward the detonator—but blinding agony exploded in his wrist! Jarrod, who had been feigning defeat on the floor, launched an explosive strike perfectly targeting Silas's nerve. The detonator slipped from his paralyzed fingers and clattered onto the concrete.

In a heartbeat, the SWAT team surged forward, tackling Silas to the ground and securing the remote.
