Forgotten Romance: Take Me Back To You - Chapter 165

It’s the last day of the medical mission and almost everyone is wishing the day won’t end. All the more, the children keep on wishing and praying for the team to extend their stay. Not that they still need to be treated with any illnesses but they want to spend more time with the team.

They’ve just spent five days but they’ve already developed a strong bond with each other.

Jade could see the sadness in the children’s eyes but she tried her best to explain the matter to them. It’s hard to say goodbye, yes, she knew that better than anyone else. However, goodbyes are a part of life, it’s a part of growth. Nothing is permanent in this world and extending a few more days won’t ease the feeling of loneliness, rather, it will prolong the agony even more.

The children seem to understand but still, they can’t help but get sad over the thought of being separated with the team. The medical team could also see the sadness in everyone’s eyes, but what can they do? Every journey has an ending.

After explaining the matter to them, Jade started to help out with the preparation for the victory party. All throughout the day, she didn’t feel Jess’ presence bothering her. It looks like he was actually avoiding her! Well, good for her though, because she doesn’t know how to face the man after what he did last night.

She even bragged about him in front of Marcus. Once Marcus finds about what he did to her, he will surely laugh at her foolishness.

Speaking of Marcus, Jade didn’t see him the whole day. Did he possibly go back to Benjamin City? She let out a bitter-crack smile at the thought of not able to see him for the last day. Although that has been her wish since the start of the medical mission, she’s been unconsciously looking for him among the crowd.

The last time she saw his face was during the bonfire last night. She’s been stealing glances from time to time. She’s not sure why though.

Maybe because of the guilt she feels within her. Since mother Tess mentioned that Marcus deserves to know the truth about their son, she’s been plaque with guilt and conscience. She’s in conflict with herself on whether to tell him or not. But what for? She’s been pushing him away so what’s the sense of letting him know about their son?

He has his own family to tend now and she doesn’t want her son, Elijah to feel outcast…an illegitimate son of the lone heir of Enchanteur.

She heaved a heavy sigh. Jade should be happy that this day marks the end of her tormenting days. But a part of her feels empty…

Unknown to her, the reason why she can’t spot the two guys is because they’re in a place where nobody could see them. They went inside the forest, located at the east side of the town.

“Why’d you call brought me here?” Marcus raised his brow as soon as Jess stopped from his tracks.

Yeah, Jess halted from his tracks as soon as he secured the area. No one would know where they are. Even if they kill each other, no one would even notice it since it’s a very secluded area where no one else, beside them, have the courage to go further inside the forest.

“Did you perhaps set up an ambush here? cause if you do, I’m afraid you’ll be the one who will end up lying down on the ground.” Marcus proudly stated. There’s no sign of fear in him.

“Do I have a reason to dirty my hands?” Jess arrogantly answered.

“Yes, you do have all the reason to.” Marcus gave a mocking gaze and Jess seems to understand where it’s coming from.

Jess smirked. “Should I really be concerned?” He laughed. “Well, if you’re pertaining to Jade then I bet you’re already at disadvantage.” He grinned meaningfully as he wet his lower lip with his tongue. His gesture irritates Marcus. How he wanted to kill him right away.

Marcus doesn’t want to give him the reaction he wanted to see so he turned around meaning to leave the arrogant guy.

“I really don’t care.” Marcus stated and was about to take a step away but he froze after hearing the guy’s word.

“You sure?” He laughed pompously. “Well, I understand why you keep on pursuing her. She’s totally different from other women in the city. his innocence and sweet aroma would make you wanting for more of her. She’s shy-looking but a total chic under her clothes. She tastes… WONDERFUL!”‘

Marcus curled his hands into a ball when he remembered what he saw last night.

“She resisted but don’t you think women are more attractive when they stubbornly fight back?” He laughed like a madman.

BLAGGGGG! THUDDD!

It was so fast and Jess didn’t know how he ended up lying on the ground with a bloody mouth and a broken jaw.

“You——!” He was about to say something when Marcus gave him another blow on the face. This time, it was a hard punch than the first one.

He couldn’t say a word because Marcus kept on punching him. He couldn’t counterattack due to the man’s strength. Jess didn’t know Marcus is a fighter!

His eyes were blazing with rage. He looks like a tiger ready to exterminate his prey.

“How dare you defiled her against her will!” Now Marcus is mad and has set in his mind to kill the man.

After a few more punches, Marcus let go of him and stood up. Seeing how bloody and deformed his face made him stopped. It’s not yet the right time to kill him. He will do it slowly and painfully… To the point that he will beg him to kill him instantly instead.

He turned around and was about to leave the helpless man when he heard him speak weakly. “Do you really think I touched her against her will?” He sneered before letting out a weak laughter. “She enjoyed it mostly at the end! Hahahaha.”

Marcus could have killed him instantly at that very moment but he chose to control his urge and went back to town. But he made sure to wash up at the nearby stream before going back to his tent. It’s not good for the children to see his bloody hands.

****************************************

She is leading a fast children song and she could see all the happy faces. However, the faces of the doctors started to change… from joy to fright.

Is she doing it wrong?

Why?

But the children are all happy as they sing and dance with her lead.

Don’t they like what she’s doing?

She thought, but still kept a happy face not showing a bit of her confusion.

THUDDDDDD… BLAGGGGGG!!!!!

Blood scattered everywhere and a lifeless form fell on the ground.

CHAPTER 166:

It was all an act! That man did not defile his woman… But he tried!

He didn’t mean to listen but he overheard Mother Tess talking to Jessa.

Jessa came to the mountainside to ȧssist Jade for the final event. She may not be present the past few days but she came this morning holding the tokens meant for the medical team.

“W-what do you mean, mother? Please tell me you’re lying!” She’s overly worried for her dear friend.

Hearing Jade’s name, Marcus stopped from his tracks and leaned on the bamboo fence outside the children’s room.

“Let’s be thankful that nothing bad happened to Jade, but I need you to watch over her from now on. Since Jess did it once, he might do it again especially when he finds an opportunity. Do not let him defile Jade.”

“How dare that bastard ȧssault my bestfriend! That is considered attempted rȧpė. I will definitely sue him!” Jess is burning with rage upon hearing what the old woman said. “‘What a jerk! A two-face jerk! I thought he was a good man not knowing that he is a wolf in sheep clothing.”

“Now don’t be hasty with your decision, Jessa. You know there’s a reason why she can’t report him to the police, you do understand where she’s coming from, right?”

Jessa frowned in disappointment upon realizing what she meant. Jade’s case will only be dumped in the trashcan because Jess is considered as one of the socialites in the city. No one knew Jade so it is more likely that she will be blame for what happen once the public comes to hear of it.

“Damn that social status discrimination!” She voiced angrily. “Poor Jade, she doesn’t have a choice but to remain silent. How terrible that could be for her!” Jessa teared up.

Marcus doesn’t want to hear more about it. He is too mad at the moment that he could wipe out an entire city due to rage burning within him.

That bastard lied to him purposely. But even so, how could he try to defile his woman?! This is unacceptable.

Marcus went back to his tent to change into a casual outfit and he could hear the woman’s voice welcoming the guests. Her voice sounds beautiful enough as she couples it with her smile. Though he could not see her, he knew that the woman must be smiling from ear to ear according to the tone of her voice.

After knowing the truth, Marcus regretted not talking to her. If only he knew what really transpired that night, then probably, he might have chased the woman to hug her, to comfort her. If only he knew.

After wearing an all-white collared shirt, he came out to the tent and slowly made her to the second row seat near the stage so he could have a clear sight of her.

Everyone was happily singing and dancing as she leads everyone. However, he froze after spotting some red dots on her ċhėst.

Those red spots…. His eyes widened in surprise as he looks around. Where is it coming from? He was trying to find the culprit who was trying to ȧssassinate the woman but he couldn’t see one from the crowd.

Few seconds later, a loud thud on the ground was heard.

Blood was scattered everywhere.

S-Someone was shot!

Someone is dead!

“Noooo!” A loud cry was heard as soon as the body lied on the ground. Blood was all over him.

“N-no… Marcus!” Jade fell on her knees, frozen. She couldn’t take her eyes of him.

“M-marcus?!” She shakingly extended her hands towards the man lying unconsciously when everything was dawn to her.
