Chapter 1598
Never had Jane imagined that she would wake up to arrive at the place where her lover Noah had died.
Noah passed away merely a month ago, just before his body completely decayed.
‘No, is his body still here?’ she thought, as she stumbled toward the spot where Noah had fallen.
Before she could take off, Alex grabbed onto her arms and said, "slowdown. Don't injure yourself."
He supported her weight from behind gingerly, like he was offering his arms for a queen, she did not pay attention to a word he said and hurried over to the other side. The sound of someone wailing was heard even before they arrived and Jane noticed that it was her mother's voice.
The old lady's voice was getting closer and closer. " What could an old hag like me do to deserve this?? My grandson died, and now my son. My son... Mommy has arrived late, why couldn't I have died in your place?"
The wailing was getting closer and, after making a turn, Jane saw a group of workers in jumpsuits working. If she was not wrong, it was an ice coffin that was in front of those workers and the old lady was leaning on the ice coffin, wailing.
"Mom!" Jane darted toward her in tears.
Seeing that Jane had arrived, the old woman immediately opened her arms and wrapped them around her. "Jane, I thought I was never going to see you ever again."
"It's alright, Mom. We are saved. You are okay. I will take care of you for the rest of your life and the child in my belly will be your grandchild. Mom, please don't go and commit suicide again. What am I to do if you die? How am I supposed to live on by myself?" Jane looked at her mother in tears. 1
The old lady suddenly smiled despite the tears on her face. "Jane, Noah... He..."
Jane glanced over at the ice coffin and saw that the person in it was still in one piece, she could not believe it.
Just then, the people who were in charge of searching for Noah's body reported to Alex and said, "Master Alex, the temperature in this area on the mountain could drop to twenty to thirty degrees below. Most of the smaller animals have all gone into hibernation. There were once wolves in this mountain a couple of decades ago but now they are all gone. The body is perfectly fine, except for the fact that it's frozen into a statue of ice."
A stern expression appeared on Alex's face. This is the man that was his love love rival, but deep in his heart, he respected Noah for the man he was. If Noah was still alive and if not for Jane loving him so deeply, Alex might have recruited the man as his subordinate. But he was dead, and he came close to taking Jane's heart with him. Bitterness and jealousy filled Alex's heart, but for Jane's sake and to pay his respect to the dead, Alex came here to collect the body of his love rival in the end.
Garrett, who followed closely behind them, was so shocked that his jaw dropped. He finally realized the reason why his master chose to drive here instead of taking the plane; Alex was here to collect his love rival's body. Instantly, Garrett respected Alex even more than he did before.
