Punished by His Love (FULL book) novel Chapter 1528

Chapter 1528

Alex was stunned for a moment, and then he asked eagerly, “What happened?”

Garrett had a catch in his throat. “Madam...no, I mean Miss Jane and her fiance, they are not...in Bay County.”

“Where are you now?” Alex asked.

Garrett immediately said, “Master Alex, I followed your orders and came outside of the mansion in Bay County. However, there was no one there. The interiors of the entire mansion seemed like it was ransacked.”

Alex asked, “How could this be?”

It was actually Sabrina’s idea to let Garrett go to Bay County in advance. Twelve days ago, Alex had locked himself in the Poole residence in Kidon city once he had returned from the northeastern area. No one knew what he had done all alone in the study for two whole days and nights. He was actually liquidating his assets. Throughout his whole life, he had been fighting hard for his parent’s glory from a young age. He also thought that he could get everything he wanted through his own hard work in this life.

However, the first time he had suffered a blow was being dumped by his first girlfriend. He was still young at that time, so even if he had been dumped by his first girlfriend, he still held on to his faith. He had spent ten years waiting for her to come back to him. Also, not only did he not waste the decade, but his career was also thriving.

He once thought that he only had Lily in his heart.

After he had met Lily in his life, all the other women were nothing to him. There was no need to consider them. To put it bluntly, the reason for him to keep Jane by his side was solely for his physiological needs. Throughout the entire decade, Alex had always thought that he had been relying on the idea of waiting for Lily’s return to support himself. However, after he had kicked Jane out, only then did he realize that he had long been inseparable from Jane. 1

The reason why the past decade of waiting was so easy to endure was that he had Jane. The continuous stream that quietly flowed seemed to have no trace, and it seemed that it had never left a mark in his heart. In fact, it had already hollowed out his heart unconsciously. The succulents that she was growing in that corner of the living room. The spider ivy she had placed on the balcony. That small pot of bell pepper on the kitchen windowsill. Also, the closet was full of shirts that she had ironed for him, how each style should be matched were placed properly. After she had left, his closet turned into a mess. There were countless maids in the house, but none of them could do as she did. she knew and understood him. she also knew how he coordinated his clothes every day. 1

Later on, Alex’s knees suddenly became sore and painful during one cloudy and rainy day. The soreness of his knees had been a recurring issue for many years. It was a condition he obtained after a particular war abroad that he had participated in. Later on, he had seen the military doctor after returning home, but the condition could not be completely eradicated. Lily’s father had taught him a method to manage the condition. He asked Alex to watch the weather forecast, and requested him to sweat it out on a dry and warm place before a rainy day, and then apply hot compression on his knees.
