Chapter 1384: A Carefully Planned Scam

Chapter 1384: Chapter 1384: A Carefully Planned Scam

Jacob Powell suddenly choked up, his eyes full of sadness and reluctance. He took a deep breath and said, "Xaviera, I love you too! But I’ve been with her day and night for over a decade. She’s the most important person to me, and I can’t abandon her. If you come back, she will lose everything."

In her dream, Xaviera lowered her head. At this moment, she seemed to not care about Jacob’s feeble explanation. Her only thought was to survive, and she was looking for a chance to escape.

When she ran out of the hospital, she had stolen a gun. She raised it and aimed it at Jacob’s head, her eyes full of pain.

Being betrayed by someone she trusted, even someone as strong as Xaviera couldn’t accept it, let alone Jacob being her brother, who now wanted her life.

Jacob was not afraid of her gun. He even slowly walked towards her, "Xaviera, you don’t know how painful these years have been for her. On the surface, she’s the glorious daughter of the Powell family, but in reality, my father has given her all the material comforts, only no love, not even allowing her to step into your room, always reminding her that she’s just your stand-in. If you could come home, the name Quinn Powell would no longer belong to her, and she would be abandoned, even driven out of the house immediately."

He smiled bitterly, "She’s been weak and sickly since she was a child, and her medical expenses every year are not affordable for an ordinary family. If she leaves the Powell family, can she survive? Both of you are my sisters, but you’re so healthy, and so many people love you. Quinn only has me. All I want is for her to live well. Xaviera, can you understand me?"

"Because of you, she’s suffered a lot in her life. Now it’s time to make it up to her, alright?"

Xaviera, like a soul floating in midair, coldly watched the scene, and couldn’t help but sneer.

—Quinn was her stand-in, so her life was filled with pain?

But what did that have to do with her? Quinn was an adopted daughter of the Powell family. Even if Quinn was really suffering, it wasn’t her fault; it was Robert Powell and the other members of the Powell family’s fault.

To her, the Powell family were just strangers. Even if there was a blood relationship, they had no right to morally kidnap her!

Quinn’s suffering wasn’t caused by her, so why should she be the one to make up for it? If everyone in the world had to make up for others’ suffering, who could blame her for what she went through?

Jacob’s eyes were filled with heartache, "Xaviera, I’m sorry, it’s all my fault, don’t blame Quinn, she’s already pitiful enough. From now on, let’s each live our own lives, and never appear in Yittaland again."

"Luckily, our father doesn’t know you’re still alive; you’ll never see him again. I’ll help you erase this memory, and soon you’ll forget this painful past. When you wake up again, you’ll have completely forgotten about me, and everything that happened in Yittaland, and you’ll start a new life."

"Xaviera, put the gun down and come with me. I’ll find a chance to send you away."

All of a sudden, the scene in front of Xaviera shattered, turning into countless images that flashed before her eyes one frame at a time. She saw herself being held down on the bed, her blood rapidly being drained, her body growing colder by the second. Jacob stood by her side, his eyes bloodshot but also showing a hint of reluctance, "Xaviera, close your eyes, don’t look. It’ll be over soon. Quinn has suffered so much for you, now it’s time for you to repay her."

Xaviera, why are you so heartless? Quinn is about to die, only you can save her. It’s not like she wants your life, just your blood!

I’m sorry, Xaviera, I can’t let you go for now. Quinn is still waiting for your blood to save her life. If you leave, she will die!

I know you’ve contacted the miracle doctor Saint Hand, but Yittaland is Powell family territory, even if they come, they won’t be able to find you. Don’t waste your efforts.

The doctor’s voice reached her ears: Mr. Powell, we can’t continue. If we keep going like this, Miss Evans will die from excessive blood loss.

Jacob walked to the bedside and gently stroked her sweat-soaked hair, whispering, "Xaviera, hang in there a little longer. Quinn is really about to die, and she needs your blood."

Forgetting this memory is the best outcome. From now on, we’ll never see each other again. You’ll forget your hatred and live a happy life, while Quinn will recover her health. Now she’s become more cheerful, and the Powell family really likes her. She can finally become the true daughter of the Powell family, so...don’t show up again.

Xaviera, I love you, but I have no choice. I can’t bear to watch Quinn die...
