Still Wanna Escape After Stealing My Heart? novel Chapter 1160

With that, Jane looked at the old lady who took care of her throughout the night, and called out to her in a gentle voice. "Ma’am, thank you. Initially, I planned to stay here for some time, to take care of the both of us and repay your kindness. But now, someone is after m e, so I have to go. I will repay your great kindness in the future."

The old lady cried until her vision was blurred. “Dear child, why do you have such a hard life? You're just like my son, both of you live such tough lives."

Jane smiled sadly. She looked at the old lady with a slightly confused expression, then looked at Noah in front of her. However, the simple man smiled gently and said, "Why not I'll carry my old mother on my back, and we can leave this place together? Shall we head north?"

Jane looked at him. "...Noah, what...what do you mean?"

Honest Noah said, "I can tell from your accent you're not a local. South City is in the south, we speak with a Southern accent, but your accent is a typical northern accent. To tell you the truth, I'm from the north too."

Jane was surprised. "You...you're not a local on this mountain?"

Noah shook his head. "No, my mother and I only

stayed here because we were desperate and had nowhere else to go. I thought I would spend my whole life this way, catching some wild animals every day and feeding them to my mother as medicine to help her recover, and I would just live like this for the rest o f my poor life."

Jane asked, "Noah, did you have a hard time too?"

Honest Noah smiled a sad, depressed smile. "Not much better than you."

Jane looked at Noah sympathetically. At the same time, a sense of dependence blossomed in her chest. She looked at him and listened as he told her his story. His legal name was not Honest Noah, it was the nickname given to him when he married into his bride's family. His wife came from a rich family, and she was her parents' only child. His legal name is Noah Hill.

Noah was born in a small mountain village up north into a poor family. Not only that, his father passed away from an illness when he was a young child. Because of his father's illness, their family owed a large amount of debt. His mother raised him alone, life was difficult but even so, when the other children went to school, his mother tried her best to make ends meet and sent him to school too. Unfortunately, when the other children had shoes to wear, all he had to wear were ill-fitting shoes that exposed his toes.

But Noah achieved excellent results in school. From his physical appearance itself, he looked like a simple, and honest and obedient child. He was also smart and intelligent and performed well in school. That's why his mother never wanted to deter him in his studies. His mother worked very hard to send him to school. However, when he was in high school, his mother's health deteriorated. Until the point where she could barely climb out of bed, not to mention work in the fields.

Only then did Noah realize his mother often sold her blood on the black market to support his studies. Back then, Noah, who was already a high school student, kneeled in front of his mother’s bed in pain and heartache. He swore he would quit school immediately. So what if he did not attend university? Even though attending university was the only way for a village boy like him to change his future, if his mother lost her life as a result, then he would lose his only family. What was the point of having a better life then?

No matter however badly his mother reprimanded or beat him up, Noah refused to return to school. He wanted to work and to earn money to support his mother. Initially, it was difficult to find a high-earning job in a small county town in the mountains. Back then, the real estate industry was not developed either, he could not even get a job on a construction site.
