Chapter 1436: This is Probably Despair

By this time, the heavy rain had stopped.

The ancient town after the rain was more like an ink painting, whereone could vaguely see the scenery across the river. The stiltedbuildings leaned against the mountains and overlapped layer by layer,with the distant mountains shrouded in clouds and fog.

On this side of the river, even after the rain stopped, Rowan was stillkneeling there. He was already soaked through, tears streamingdownhis face, his heart shattered on the ground.

"Mr. Li." The bodyguard bent down to take the large black umbrella thatJennifer had been holding up for him.

Jennifer squatted in front of him, reaching out to hold Rowan'sshoulder.

Even for a Doctor of Literature, at such a time, she didn't know how toconsole him.

Because any profound words seemed pale and powerless.

"Shall we go back to the inn and take a bath?" Jennifer's voice wasvery soft, as if she was discussing with him, “You will catch a cold likethis.”

Rowan slowly focused his gaze on her, and said sorrowfully, “It's myfault. I failed to protect her."

He felt incredibly guilty, towards Claire and towards the Russell family."But you can't blame yourself." Seeing him like this, Jennifer also felt acompulsion to cry, "No one wanted this to happen. Daphne Wells willreceive the punishment she deserves."

Mentioning Daphne Wells, a seed of hatred sprouted in Rowan's heart.“I know you're in pain, we're all in pain,” Jennifer told him, "But... but ifyou continue like this, you'll ruin your own health. Whether Claire isalive or not, if she knew, how heartbroken would she be? She loves youso much.”

Mentioning Claire, Rowan felt so heartbroken he could barely breathe.She felt sorry for Rowan, and almost pleaded with him, "Can we goback to the inn first? They won't stop the search, and they'll tell you assoon as they have any news."

At this moment, Rowan seemed to have aged a lot overnight.

He was no longer that brilliantly dressed, extraordinarily handsome,genius doctor with a halo above his head. His chin was covered withrough stubble, and his dark eye circles cast a gloomy shadow over hisface.

Finnley stood behind him, and seeing him like this, he also feltparticularly uncomfortable.

"Dr. Watson." He also squatted down, holding his other shoulder, "Let'sgo back to the inn and take a bath first. Even if you fall ill, Claire'ssituation will remain the same. Regret is useless.”

Yes, regret is useless.

But what is useful?

God, could you tell Dr. Watson what he should do now to bring hisClaire back?

Rowan couldn't help but cover his face and sob... "I didn't even get achance to love her properly... she was always the one accommodatingme." He was filled with regret.

He really had no way not to regret!

If he had been more decisive in dealing with Daphne Wells, directlysending Daphne Wells back to the countryside, would things have beenbetter?

Actually, no, as long as Daphne Wells was alive, she would seekrevenge, her personality had already been twisted.

Finnley and Jennifer exchanged a glance, and the two of them forciblyhelped Rowan, whose legs had gone numb from kneeling, to get upand took him to the inn.

Ivan Marsh stood in front of the river, his handsome face cold. He waswaiting for the results of the salvage team.

After a while, in the small alley paved with bluestone slabs, Jenniferand the others ran into Tristan and Monica who were coming head-on.Everyone stopped when they saw each other, and they all lookedsurprised.

"Bro?" Jennifer squinted at them, "Are you guys okay?" She was awareof Daphne Wells’ assault on Miss Swain and Tristan's heroic act ofjumping into the river to save her.

"We're fine." Tristan walked a few steps to Rowan, and seeing him inthis state, he was both shocked and sympathetic, "Here, let me help!""Hey, you..." Monica was anxious, weren't you injured too?

But Tristan and Finnley were helping Rowan towards the inn.Concerned Monica stepped aside to make way, the alley was really toonarrow.
