Returning from the Dead: His Secret Lover novel Chapter 1051

“But… when Shin looked at the picture, he fell into a trance, and he ended up getting shot.”

Rufus was on the verge of crying as he spoke the last word.

At that time, Shin took the photo and collapsed in front of him before he could even utter a word.

By the time Rufus snapped out of his daze and rushed to him, Shin was already starting to lose consciousness.

“After that, he took out the bloodstained medal with his trembling hand. He then told me to give the medal to Frieda so that she could bring it to you. However, we failed to do so in the end… After she learned that Shin was gone, she went crazy before she could give birth to the child.”

A heavy silence instantly blanketed the previously bustling playground.

At this very moment, Jonathan was sitting there motionlessly in a daze as if time had stopped for him. All of Rufus’ words escaped his ears except for one particular sentence.

He then told me to give the medal to Frieda so that she could bring it to you. He kept hearing those words echoing in his mind.

Why did he do that? Is it because he had never suspected that I would do something to him?

Tears welled up in Jonathan’s eyes before they streamed down his cheeks.

“Old Mr. Jadeson.”

Rufus was shocked by Jonathan’s reaction.

However, Jonathan waved his hands dismissively, gesturing for Rufus to keep silent.

“I knew that a lot of people wanted to take Shin down due to his impressive performance in the army. It’s just that I never expected to be the one who caused this.”

“What?”

Rufus was left dumbfounded, For a moment, he didn’t know what to say.

“Old Mr. Jadeson, what do you mean?”

“Look at them. They are really having a great time.” With teary eyes, he pointed at the kids who were playing at the playground.

Rufus looked in the direction of his finger.

Again, he was taken aback.

“I was too eager for success in the past. I always thought it would be best if my descendants could be at the pinnacle of power. But it seems that we could be happy too by leading a simple life.”

“So, do you mean…”

“It’s good that he stays with the Hayes family.”

Jonathan finally uttered the last sentence.

Rufus heaved a sigh. “Whether it’s the Hayeses or the Jadesons, they are all your grandchildren. This place is his home, and so is Jadeborough.”

“Yeah…”
