Therefore, dead or alive, staying together was the most important thing. Noah cried out to Jane over and over again, but Jane couldn't seem to stop her tears from falling.
"Noah, stop talking, Noah. Listen to me. You are only forty; after saving up for three to four years, you can still find yourself another wife. Mom wants a grandchild so bad, Noah, you have so much more to live for. A man as kind-hearted as you will live a long life with plenty of children and grandchildren. Just remember to set a grave up in my name then and come to visit every now and then, and I'll be more than satisfied," Jane said with a smile that shone with contentment. She did not need much. She wanted so little, very little, to the point that she would be happy a s long as there was someone who thought of her in this world.
"By the way, Noah," Jane added. "Will you please return the money Sabrina lent me after my death? She is my savior, the best girl I've ever known in this world. You have to help me return the money to her. She is a girl that has suffered a lot as well. She has a child and will definitely need the money for something in the future."
"Jane..." Noah sobbed.
Jane turned back around to look at Alex, her pleading
became even more eager, ":et Noah go, hm? Let him go and I'll go with you right now, okay? Please, Master Alex? Please? Master Alex?"
She referred to him as 'Master Alex’ repeatedly and every time she did, it was like a sharp blade had plunged itself into Alex's chest. He remained quiet for a while, before finally opening his mouth to speak, and a frightening hoarse voice that sounded like someone had destroyed his throat came out. "You... You really love Noah?"
Jane nodded, as her teardrops fell on the ground with the motion. "Of course! I love him very, very much! So please, Master Alex... I'm begging you. I really won't resist anything you want to do to me, really!"
Alex bent down and inserted both his hands under her arms. Startled, Jane twitched, before smiling bitterly. "So... So you are going to... Strip me naked right now so that they can have their ways with me? Okay, that's fine! I... I'll do it myself."
He squeezed his eyes shut and gritted his teeth until they were making noises. After that, he said, "Go back."
"Wh--What did you say?" Jane could not believe her own ears.
"Go back to the man you love."
Enraged, Jane glared at him fiercely and said, "You... You are still unwilling to let him go? He didn't do anything to you! He didn't know that I was your pet when he rescued me! He didn't know! How could you take the life of an innocent, Alex Poole? Do you really think that I won't dare to kill you?"
He watched the vicious expression that appeared on her pale face and was suddenly hit by a feeling that this was the most adorable face on the planet. This was his woman. But she would never belong to him ever again and he had missed his chance with her. He swallowed the bitterness in his heart and gazed up to look at Noah, who had been restrained by a few of Alex's subordinates. "Do you love her?" he asked.
Noah sneered. "Kill us if you want to!"
"You are indeed a responsible and poised man. It's no wonder Jane loves you so much."
"Wh--What did you say?" Noah asked.
