Night of Destiny ( Anastasia Tillman )
Chapter 2400: Through the Screen

Chapter 2400: Through the Screen

That was a piece of cake for Jasper, who immediately hacked into someone else's account and used it

to log into the satellite system. Soon, he began looking through the surveillance footage.

He did not see any traces of Willow in Presgrave Residence, so he immediately checked the

surveillance in his villa. He merely wanted to know if she had been there, but when he checked his

room, he was stunned.

She was sitting on the couch in his room, her countenance much paler than usual. Although the

footage was blurry, he could see that her eyes had turned red and swollen. She wiped her tears from

time to time, looking like a beautiful yet lifeless puppet for a long while.

Jasper's breaths quickened, his heart aching so much that he could not catch his breath. He quietly

gazed at the girl through the lenses, heartbroken.

However, at that moment, Willow's phone rang. She hastily wiped her tears and adjusted her

expression before answering the call. "Hello, Mom? I'll be right back. I'm fine. I just went out for a walk."

She knew Anastasia had not eaten or slept for her sake in the past few days. Her mother had gotten

much frailer, so she knew better than to make her worry even more. Although suffering in her heart,

she tried to look happy before her family members. She could not let them suffer with her just because

she was in pain, could she?

"Alright, Mom. I'll be back soon. Don't worry about me." Willow pursed her lips and forced a smile. After

hanging up, she picked up her bag and looked longingly at her surroundings, finally departing.

Gazing at her figure, Jasper knew she had survived the worst period of her life. At least she listens to

her family now.

Just then, someone unlocked the room to his door before Antoine rushed in. When he saw his nephew

on the couch, he said in exasperation, "Can't you just talk to me about it?" With that, he sighed again.

He knew Jasper could not hear what he was saying, so he took out his phone and typed some words.

'You can rest at home, but promise me that you won't come into contact with anyone from the

Presgrave Family.'

Jasper was just done checking up on Willow and nodded at his uncle. "Okay, I promise I'll give myself

time."

'I booked an appointment with a specialist, so you'll get your ears checked tomorrow. Rest well, and

don't overthink it.' Antoine patted him.

Jasper nodded. He could not meet Willow like this, anyway. He was not the perfect version of himself

right now, and if he lost his hearing, he would have to live a brand-new way. Perhaps he would not

have to go on missions anymore, but that also meant he would become more redundant. I won't even

be able to protect her or hear her voice.

For the longest time, he believed he was out of Willow's league. Now, he started to feel inferior again.

Perhaps Antoine's decision was right. Jasper should not be with Willow anymore because he might

prevent her from leading a better life. She was the young lady of the Presgrave Family who would fulfill

all her desires. Her life would be wonderful even in the future.

At that moment, Jasper was feeling a little down, and Antoine could see that as well. Picking up his

phone, he typed out some words. 'Trust me. I'll make sure you recover.'

Jasper did not want his uncle to be worried about him, either. After all, Antoine had a more pivotal

mission awaiting him. He nodded, signaling his trust to his uncle.

In truth, Antoine could not take better care of Jasper; he was shouldering the burdens of the country.

Just then, his phone rang. He glanced at it and then left.

Jasper returned to his laptop and switched the screens. Cars from the Presgrave Family were shown

on the monitor, escorting Willow home. Although he could only see her through the screen, it was

enough to comfort his heart. At least she's in one piece.

When Willow arrived home, tears remained on her face, after which she took a tissue and dried her

tears. Then, she forced a smile so she could talk peacefully to her family.
