Whispers Of Betrayal (Anastasia and Alastor)

Chapter 188

“Wait for the results of the police investigation. I’ve also asked Jayden to investigate the case.” Jason motioned for Anastasia

to rest well.

Anastasia nodded and closed her eyes drowsily.

She thought, ‘Now that my child is gone, I don’t have any weaknesses left. NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.

These people want to drive me crazy.

Well, then. Bring it on.

From now on, I won’t be afraid of anything.

“Anastasia!”

“Is Annie okay?”

Outside the ward, Kimberly rushed over in tears. Kimberly sobbed miserably as she tugged Jason’s shirt.

Jason shook his head. “She has passed the critical phase for now.

“How could she suddenly encounter such a thing?” Kimberly cried as she tried to enter the ward, but Jason stopped her.

“Let her have a good rest.” Jason shook his head.

Kimberly nodded and sat on the bench with Jason. “Did you find anything abnormal when you sent her back to the hotel after our meal?”

Jason shook his head, feeling guilty. “I was careless.”

“It’s not your fault. You couldn’t have guessed so much.” Kimberly took out a lunch box from her bag. “You haven’t eaten yet, right? I made you breakfast.”

Jason was stunned for a moment and glanced at Kimberly. “I’m not hungry.”

“How could you not be hungry? Are you going to work later? I’ll take care of this here, so you should go back to work,” Kimberly assured Jason, so he would not worry. “Alastor also called me and asked me to take care of this. Alastor will come after dealing with the police, so you don’t have to worry too much.”

“No, I’ve already asked for leave. If Alastor came to take care of her, I’d be even more worried.” Jason spoke in a low voice. “Jason, there’s something I didn’t tell you. You know my relationship with Anastasia. We are best friends. I know her as well as she knows me. I’m not telling you this because I have a good impression of you. What I’m saying are facts. Anastasia has no feelings for you. Anastasia only sees you as her brother. She loves Alastor, but there were too many barriers and misunderstandings between them.”

Kimberly looked at Jason, obviously asking him to give up. “Jason, there are many options in life. Men and women have the same choices. Choosing Alastor can save a lot of detours. This is the only shortcut to success for families like Anastasia’s.”

Jason frowned. “She is not like that.”

“I’m not badmouthing her. This is the truth, and I would say the same thing even in front of Annie because she is no longer a child. Anastasia is an adult who knows what she is doing. Anastasia likes Alastor not only because of his family background. After four years of marriage, she has spent too much time on him.” Kimberly sighed.

She continued, “You probably didn’t know that Anastasia is afraid of fire because her mother ignited the gas for cooking to burn themselves to death when she was a child. Hence, even if she lived in a rental house, she rarely cooked with because

gas she was afraid of the gas stove and everything that might catch fire. Yet, not only did she overcome her fear for Alastor’s sake, but she also carefully studied many dishes.”

Jason clenched his fingers, his eyes trained on the ground.

“Anastasia will not love you because you can’t give her the sense of security she wants.” Kimberly looked at Jason and added, “But I’m different. Although my family is not particularly affluent, my father has also made a lot of money in the past few years. He can help you invest and start your own business. It’s not a problem for us to give you a shortcut to success.” What Kimberly said was very realistic. “Besides, my family has five or six properties in Hork. Three are under my name. If you get together with me, it can make a big difference in your career.”

Jason stayed silent for a long time. Then, he responded in a low voice, “Is this Anastasia’s idea or yours for telling me this?”
