Surprised Wife With Twins novel Chapter 1436

Chapter 1436: This is Probably Despair

By this time, the heavy rain had stopped.

The ancient town after the rain was more like an ink painting, where one could vaguely see the scenery across the river. The stilted buildings leaned against the mountains and overlapped layer by layer, with the distant mountains shrouded in clouds and fog.

On this side of the river, even after the rain stopped, Rowan was still kneeling there. He was already soaked through, tears streamingdown his face, his heart shattered on the ground.

"Mr. Li." The bodyguard bent down to take the large black umbrella that Jennifer had been holding up for him.

Jennifer squatted in front of him, reaching out to hold Rowan's shoulder.

Even for a Doctor of Literature, at such a time, she didn't know how to console him.

Because any profound words seemed pale and powerless.

"Shall we go back to the inn and take a bath?" Jennifer's voice was very soft, as if she was discussing with him, "You will catch a cold like this."

Rowan slowly focused his gaze on her, and said sorrowfully, "It's my fault. I failed to protect her."

He felt incredibly guilty, towards Claire and towards the Russell family.

"But you can't blame yourself." Seeing him like this, Jennifer also felt a compulsion to cry, "No one wanted this to happen. Daphne Wells will receive the punishment she deserves."

Mentioning Daphne Wells, a seed of hatred sprouted in Rowan's heart.

"I know you're in pain, we're all in pain," Jennifer told him, "But... but if you continue like this, you'll ruin your own health. Whether Claire is alive or not, if she knew, how heartbroken would she be? She loves you so much."

Mentioning Claire, Rowan felt so heartbroken he could barely breathe.

She felt sorry for Rowan, and almost pleaded with him, "Can we go back to the inn first? They won't stop the search, and they'll tell you as soon as they have any news."

At this moment, Rowan seemed to have aged a lot overnight.

He was no longer that brilliantly dressed, extraordinarily handsome, genius doctor with a halo above his head. His chin was covered with rough stubble, and his dark eye circles cast a gloomy shadow over his face.
