Still Wanna Escape After Stealing My Heart? novel Chapter 1496

Never had Alex imagined that a fragile woman who had only ever said 'Yes' or 'Yes, Alex" in front of him; who only said 'I'll leave' with a smile on the day h e chased her out, could be so logical and good at defending her case. Her mind was clear and organized, with no resemblance of the woman that had been by his side for the past seven to eight years. On top of that, Alex realized that everything she said was true.

"'That's right! I blamed her for finding someone else after four months away from me, but how did I manage to forget that I was the one who chased her out without any hesitation? Have I thought about where she was going to stay? Or that she could tell the directions? Or how helpless she would feel when I tossed her out hurriedly without even giving her identification card? I haven't, because I've always thought that her love to me was natural and when I showed her even the slightest adoration, that's supposed to be some sort of a gift,' he thought with a frown, as he stared wordlessly at the woman sprawled across the ground.

Jane's tears continued to fall and her hair flew and became entangled in the wind. Her face had only grown paler by the second and all color had been drained from her lips. Her doe-like eyes shivered in the tears that gathered in her eyes, making her look as

enduring as ever. Apart from that, her pregnant belly had been exposed entirely from the tear of her top just now when two of the buttons fell. By kneeling on the ground, her legs were just in the right place to support her belly, but at the same time, it made her look even more pitiful and fragile than ever.

Alex's gaze trailed down to the old cotton pants she was wearing and felt as though there was a knife slicing pieces of his heart, one bit after another, and the pain was worse than death.

The woman kneeled before him like a common beggar with her eyes filled with anticipation as she pleaded," Please, okay? Kill me and let my Noah go. I... I'll go with you. I'll go with you right now. I'm serious, really, Master Alex, you... you can do anything to me. I'll be happy to comply. Find people to rape me. I'll be happy to comply. I'll be happy to!"

The earlier desperation and eagerness in her voice had returned, as though that was the only way she could protect her beloved Noah.

The man behind her shouted from the top of his lungs, "Stop it, Jane. You've suffered so much, Jane, don't beg for his mercy because of me. We will die together! You, my mom and I, along with the child in your belly, we will die together, okay? At least we can keep each other's company that way, Jane... Stop begging him..."

Noah, too, felt like he had been stabbed in the heart. H e had always known about Jane's past, but he did not know how miserable she truly had been. After hearing Jane's accusation to Alex, he was more determined than ever to protect the poor woman, especially when she was willing to give everything to save him.

She said that she had never been loved or treated fairly, but how was Noah any different? He married and took his wife's last name for all the years he worked in South City. He had always been giving, but i n the end, he still lost his wife and son. On top of that, his mother had suffered gravely from it. It was not until he met Jane that he finally realized what it felt like to have a woman who truly cared about him.

Noah had been alive for over forty years and life had been more or less hopeless to him, but then he met such a wonderful woman, which was why he did not care if they lived or died. For people as tortured as they were, living was merely a form of suffering.
