In the urgency of the moment, Alyssa exerted all her strength and wrapped her arms around Jasper


    from behind, securing his tense waist tightly.


    “Jasper! Lyse is right!”


    Cyrus also stepped forward, blocking Jasper’s way. He looked into thetter’s pale face. The sadness


    in his eyes made Cyrus feel deeply distressed.


    “Taking a life demands a price. You’re a good person. Why give your life for these wicked animals? If


    you really want revenge for your mother, you have to stay rational and clear-headed.

    “Yes, Sophia deserves to die. But if you take action, it just means one life for another. Is it worth it for


    that bitch? If something happens to you, what about Lyse? Have you thought about her?”


    Cyrus had said so much, but it seemed like only thest two sentences acted like a strong and effective


    sedative for Jasper.


    Alyssa was exerting all her strength on Jasper’s back. She closed her eyes, tightly holding onto his


    waist. Even though her face was soaked with cold sweat, she pressed against his back, not moving.


    She could feel his breath and racing heartbeat gradually calm down. Even so, she refused to rx a


    bit.


    She understood him. If it had been her mother, she would have probably reacted even more terrifyingly


    than he did.


    After some time, Jasper finally regained his rationality. He gently covered her red, clenched hand with


    his cold one.


    His voice was trembling and hoarse as he said, “Lyse, I’m sorry. I


    Alyssa’s heart wrenched, and she shook her head with closed eyes.


    Jasper was sometimes so silly that it made people feel sorry for him. Even at a time like this, he was


    still apologizing to her. What was he at fault for?


    He was clearly the most miserable person in the world at this moment.


    “But Lyse, what should I do?”


    Jasper’s eyes, numbed by pain, continuously shed tears. He stood stiffly, as if his heart had been dug


    out and thrown into a dark and boundless abyss, freezing his core.


    “Why am I so stupid? The murderer who killed my mother was right in front of me and lived with me for


    20 years, but I knew nothing about it.


    “Lyse, tell me. Besides killing her, what should I do? How can I get justice for my mother?”


    “It wille. Justice will be meted out soon.”


    Alyssa gently stroked his trembling back. Her voice was gentle, soothing his soul, which had been torn


    apart by hatred.


    “I hate Sophia and Betty just like you. I want them to pay with their lives too. I’ll help you, Jasper. I’ll do


    everything I can toplete this revenge with you.


    “I will be with you the whole way and bear all the unknown dangers with you. We must both be fine and


    watch the evildoers go to hell.”


    Jasper had tears in his eyes and closed them tightly, firmly holding onto her hand.


    I will be with you.

    “Mom, if you’re in heaven, please bless me once,” he prayed.
