Jasper tipped Lucas a wink. Lucas immediately got it. He patted Jasper on the shoulder, pretending to be sorrowful, and said, "Forget it, Jasper. Brothers seem to be more reliable than women at a critical moment. Emmett is going to die. We shouldn't waste our time here. If she doesn't go, then let her be. I'm afraid that if we are late, we will fail to reach Emmett before he dies."
As he spoke, Lucas turned away his face, his shoulders trembling.
Actually, he was gritting his teeth to suppress his laughter.
Jasper nodded seriously. "Alright. I know that they have actually broken up. Even if Emmett is dead, it has nothing to do with Elaine. We are so stupid that we still come here. Let's go back to the hospital as soon as possible."
They turned around and walked towards their cars.
Elaine was left behind, standing alone. Her eyes filled with tears opened widely and blankly.
What did they say?
Was Emmett going to die? Perhaps even if they rushed over now, they would not be able to see Emmett alive.
No!
Elaine shook her head and suddenly raised her head to look at the two men walking slowly. She screamed and ran to them.
She didn't know when they heard her panicked footsteps behind, they smiled at the same time and Lucas even made a "V" sign towards Jasper.
"No. You can't die. How can you die?"
Elaine muttered and surpassed Jasper like a tornado. She pulled open Jasper's car door before Jasper, hopped in and took the passenger seat.
Jasper and Lucas were stunned for a moment and then smiled at the same time.
Jasper got in the car, still with a long face. He said coldly, "Didn't you just want to leave Emmett alone?"
"Who said that? I do care about him! How can I not care about him!"
***
"But didn't you break up? We don't know why, but you did split up, didn't you? Then you shouldn't care if he's alive or dead. Don't pretend to be considerate. Get off the car!"
"We indeed broke up, but it's not my real intention. How can I ignore him? If he dies, I'll die with him! I've lived a hard and colorless life. If Emmett passes away, then I should go with him."
Jasper had started the car and locked the door.
What he said was to provoke Elaine's worry. If Elaine wanted to get out of the car, he wouldn't let her go.
This time, he must take her to see Emmett, even if he had to kidnap her!
"I don't understand. Since you care so much about Emmett, why were you still insisting on breaking up with him? Do you know that ever since you and Emmett broke up, Emmett has moved through his days like a zombie? You feel good to torture him, don't you?"
"No. I don't want to torture him. I've also had a very bad time these days... He is too good for me. My family has let him down! How can someone like me be worthy of being with him... Besides, Emmett was with me not because he loved me, but for revenge..."
Jasper said with a sneer, "How ridiculous! You said that Emmett was with you for revenge. That's the funniest thing I've ever heard! Was Emmett insane? Why did he take revenge on you by dating you? He's powerful in both the political arena and the underworld. If he wanted to seek revenge on you, would he need such a complicated process? He could just give a command and your place would disappear as an accident overnight! If he wants to take revenge on you, why did he do the superfluous work, exhausting and hurting himself? It would be much easier if he directly found someone to kill all of your family members."
"Do you know how Emmett spent the days when you disappeared in Iceland? He looked for you day and night and was almost mad with anxiety. He personally dived into the deep sea, and he stayed there for so long that he spit out blood! He was seriously injured. I don't understand what you women are thinking. What are your brains for? How can you not understand such a simple truth? What a fool!"
Elaine was stunned. After a long time, she sniffed and muttered in the grievance, "Emmett has always scolded me. Don't make me feel worse."
"I'm telling the truth. You're indeed a stupid ass!"
Elaine twitched her lips and pulled out tissue after tissue from the paper box in Jasper's car. She blew her nose, wiped her tears, and sobbed, "No matter what, Emmett can't die. I won't let him die. I can't bear to part with him. Why didn't the doctor save him? Why didn't the doctor think of some other way to save him? How can such a strong person die? Scheming Jasper, you should do something about it."
Jasper almost hit a utility pole.
She called him ... Scheming Jasper?
Damn it...
Jasper gritted his teeth and said, "Actually, Emmett doesn't have any serious problems or no problem at all. He is so fit. He is doing this purely on purpose! He just wants to die! Look how powerful you are! Our greatest young master wanted to die because of you! You're even more poisonous than poison!"
Elaine threw the dirty tissue to Jasper. "He's dying. Stop talking nonsense. Tell me how to save him! It's urgent! Also, why don't you drive faster? What if I can't reach him before he dies?"
