hapter 157 Finding My Way Back

Jude sent his last message.

“Your problems are the most important thing to me right now. They’re my top priority.”

Finished

Tilda sighed. “Jude, my head’s a mess right now. You guessed it right. Yesterday was a really bad day. I finally started to feel a little better today, but then I realized, my life shouldn’t be like this.”

She wanted to escape the Jensons. Somehow, she kept getting pulled back in, stuck in this muddy swamp of

hate.

Getting revenge felt good for a moment, but Tilda knew her life should be more than that

She once had bigger dreams, but she’d forgotten them. She shouldn’t let that happen. The pain from her family had taken up all her energy and pushed everything else aside.

Jude messaged her, “If you’ve forgotten your real dream, do you want me to remind you? Hugs emoji. ”

For once, the dominant CEO didn’t just use his usual smiley face emoji.

Tilda replied, “Yes, please.”

Suddenly, she started to look forward to his message.

What would Jude remind me of?

He seems so confident. Jude understood everything about me.

Logically, Jude couldn’t know more than what was on the surface.

Tilda was confident in her skills as the dark web’s top hacker. She knew how to hide.

Jude replied, “You once said you wanted to use your talents to serve your country.”

To be honest, when Tilda first read Jude’s message, she froze.

For a moment, it felt like a shadow in her heart was suddenly pierced by light. It broke through the clouds and warmed the dusty, hidden corners inside her.

Jude’s words echoed in her mind. “You once said having this kind of talent was a gift–a blessing from above, You wanted to use your skills to serve your country. That’s what your mentor hoped for, too. You believed you owed it to the world to do something good with your abilities.

“You also said it didn’t matter if nobody ever knew your name. Even if you were just an unsung hero, as long as you had a clear conscience, that was enough.

“You promised you’d never hurt innocent people, never cross the line for money, and never do anything to shame your country. Isn’t that right, Queen?”

Tilda almost typed, “How do you know all this?”

She found her reply sounded silly, stopped herself, and deleted it.

Of course, Jude could figure it out.

He knew Queen had the rare Omega blood type.

Jude also knew Andy was a broker on the dark web and that Andy and Tilda were close.

It wasn’t hard to put the pieces together–people with Omega blood were rare, after all.

Finished

Jude wrote, “You’re welcome. If you ever want to pay me back, just buy me a meal sometime.”

Tilda laughed and wrote back, “Of course! We’re friends now, aren’t we? Sticks out tongue emoji.”

When Jude saw Tilda’s message, he almost forgot to breathe.

His heart was pounding. For the first time in his life, his hands shook as he typed.

He took several deep breaths before finally sending his reply.

“Yes. Thank you, Tilda, for calling me your friend.”

He’d thought it through carefully. His reply doesn’t come too fast nor too slow, just enough to make Tilda happy, but not too much.

A smile slowly spread across Jude’s face.

If someone tried to put it in simple, cheerful words, it would go like this: “Oh my God! Tilda finally said something nice about me–she even called me her friend!”

Honestly, if anyone who really knew Jude saw his face right now, with that big smile, they would’ve been completely stunned.
