Still Wanna Escape After Stealing My Heart? novel Chapter 1599

The old lady froze as soon as she heard the top elite of Kidon City called her 'Mom'. She had not expected Alex to be someone so approachable, and in that moment, Alex's presence managed to wash away most of the despair she felt from losing her son.

Jane could not help but cast a glance over at Alex and he took the opportunity to grin at her in a flattering manner.

"..." Jane did not say a word.

"Sleep, child. You've gone through hardships in the past few months. You couldn't really sleep all that time and the car just now probably isn't comfortable t o sleep in as well. There's a bed in this car. Go to sleep. Mom will watch over you," the old woman said with concern.

Jane nodded. She felt grounded with her mother next t o her, and laid down obediently, but then, she sat back up again right away putting on the blanket.

She looked at Alex and bit her lip. "Thank you, Alex. U m... My mom..."

"Once we get to Kidon City, we will bring her to the best hospital to fix her heart condition. You need to rest properly now so that your mom's heart won't suffer any further stimulation!" he replied impatiently. 1

"Oh..."

"Go to sleep!"

"Okay," she said. And soon, she was asleep again.

Kidon City was not too far from Bay County. It took another day of driving for the car to arrive back at Kidon City. Alex did not head home immediately, but instead took Noah's ice coffin directly to the cremation field and found him the best spot for his grave.

After a month of having his body exposed in the wild, Noah could finally rest in a graveyard. Jane and the old mother sobbed before his grave, but at the same time, felt reassured.

After giving Noah a proper burial, Alex took Jane with him and drove all the way back to the Poole residence.

It had been four months, and Jane felt strange revisiting the place. She never felt that she belonged. She never had a sense of belonging for the past seven years or so. Back then, she cared about nothing but Alex and so home was simply wherever Alex was, but now things were different. Her heart had been emptied out. She knew what Alex had done for her and she believed that Alex had been searching for her in the past few months. However, her heart could no longer be restored to how it was before. Having Noah's death in between them cast aside, she knew better than anyone that the only reason she chose to go back to Alex was to save her mother. She intended on focusing on her mother and the unborn child in her belly for the rest of her life, and as for Alex, she could not be less interested. Hence, even after she had rested well and felt great physically from Alex's attentive care, she still appeared ill and distant from everyone. She knew everyone in the Poole residence. None of them thought much of her four months ago and after she had come back, everyone, including the head of the family, Old Master Poole, and every servant in the household did not dare to neglect Jane. They all knew how much effort it took for Alex to find Jane. On top of that, Alex brought Jane back in the most dramatic manner possible with the intention to show Jane how much she meant to him, to the point that even his second uncle heard about it.

When Alex approached the Poole residence with his arm around Jane, who was pregnant, a shadow darted toward them from their side.

"Sister-in-law, you are finally back?" that person said i n a flattering manner.

Once she saw who that person was, Jane's expression instantly darkened. "Go away! You disgust me!"
