No Way Back

Chapter 462

Jane had yearned for kinship so much back then. She was submissive and never dared to resist.

However, it was as if she had suddenly becorne a different person one day. She decisively cut off her kinship with the Fowler family and bloomed into her own.

From then on, Jane was still the same Jane, but her soul was different.

Because she had experienced a most tragic ending in her previous life, and she had been reborn.

From the beginning…

The Fowlers never stood any chance of asking for Jane’s forgiveness.

They had owed Jane many years of torture and abuse. Jane could not even rest in peace after her death.

Even the word “death” was far from being able to describe the pain Jane felt in both her lifetimes.

Jane still did not speak.

Quietly, she looked at Johan.

“At this point, we understand that no one in the Fowler family has the right to ask for your forgiveness. In fact… After knowing what happened, we no longer dared to appear before you again.

“Compared to that alternative ending, at least we’re doing much better. No one has died. Dad is in jail, while ************is disabled. She even contracted hypertension and other diseases because she had been so stressed. We lost the Fowler Corporation and became nothing…

“I shouldn’t have come to you. No, I don’t have the right to come to you. Coming here to talk to you is shameless of me. It’s just that I promised that I would tell you about this alternative ending. This is the only closure I can give you.

“From now on, the Fowlers will never appear in front of you again. Don’t worry.”

Johan finished speaking.

Without hesitation, he turned around and left.

Jane looked at Johan’s silhouette.

He gradually disappeared from her sight.

Afterward, she took a deep breath.

She continued walking.

From then on…

Jane and the Fowler family became like two parallel lines.

There would be no more entanglement between them.

That was the last time she had seen anyone from the Fowler family.

After knowing what became of the Fowlers in her previous life…

They completely disappeared.

They would never appear before her again.

On the other side…

Johan walked back to his family.

Johan told a small lie.

When Johan told Jane the truth…

The Fowlers were silently watching them from afar.

At first, Johan wanted to come alone.

However, the Fowlers insisted on coming with him.

Perhaps…

Jane had sensed it long ago, too.

But it no longer mattered.

Other than Jack, who was still in jail….

Everyone else was there.

It was because of Johan’s dream and Jane’s method of killing Madelyn….

That they learned the truth behind Jane.

That was the last time they returned to Stormton City.

From then on, they would never come back.

They did not even have the right to catch a glimpse of Jane.

The Fowler family owed Jane too much.

If they appeared before Jane again, kneeling and begging for her forgiveness…

They felt it would be a sin that would throw them into the depths of ***************.

The best way forward was to never see each other again.

Anna sat in her wheelchair. Suddenly, she could not help but tremble. She fell forward and fell to the ground.

“*************************!”

Henry and the others were about to hold her up when they saw Anna kneeling on the ground on her own. Her tears fell incessantly, like beads of a broken pearl necklace.

“Jane, I’m sorry. I’m sorry… You’re right. You shouldn’t have been born into the Fowler family. You wouldn’t have suffered that much pain and torture if you weren’t my child. I’m sorry… I’ve let you

down…”

Anna’s voice was hoarse and heart-wrenching. She had so much regret. When she knelt and burst into tears, she felt a deep despair toward her blind and *************self, who trusted Madelyn. Anna chased away her flesh and blood, her daughter, Jane. She was incompetent and useless… She could only feel an unbearable sense of despair.

“****************************…”

Anna felt her sorrow deep in her bones. It went straight to her soul. Even the brothers could sense it,

too.

The Fowler family’s seven sons knelt in unison. With tears streaming down their faces, they paid their respect as they watched Jane leave.

“We’re sorry…”

“Jane…”

“I’m sorry…”

“My own sister…”

“I’m so sorry…”

“We’re not worthy… to be your brothers.”

“From now on, forget about us. Forget about the Fowler family. Go and pursue your true family and

happiness.”

“Even if we no longer have the right to, we will pray for you always.”

“We’ll pray that you, Jane, will find your happiness.”

Jane kept walking.

She seemed to have seen someone.

Her eyes, which were as calm as a quiet lake, began to radiate. Her gaze shone brightly.

She waved at the figure and jogged over.

“Hugh, I’m sorry to have kept you waiting.”

Hugh hugged Jane and rubbed his chin against Jane’s head affectionately. He said gently, “I didn’t wait for long.”

“The dignified Mr. Croft has especially taken a day off to go out with me on a date. This is such a rare opportunity. How could I keep you waiting? Let’s go, Hugh. Let’s have fun today.”

Jane blinked at Hugh.

“Anything you say, Janie.”

Hugh lowered his eyes slightly.

Just now, Hugh saw… Jane and Johan together.

However, Jane did not say anything..

So Hugh did not ask.

This was a tacit understanding between the two of them.

If they wanted to say something, they would naturally tell each other about it.

If they said nothing, it meant that the matter was insignificant.

As long as they trusted each other, they would live happily ever after, hand in hand.

That was enough.

They would hold each other’s hands.

And grow old together.

They would never let go of each other again.

Hugh and Jane had a good day at the amusement park. Hugh had reserved the entire park to themselves.

The sky gradually darkened.

It was already ten o’clock, almost midnight.

Hugh interlocked his fingers with Jane, and they walked side by side on the street.

Her hands were soft.

His heart was warm.

Passion was in the air.

Their souls were becoming closer to each other.

“Janie, if I propose to you right now, will you say yes?”

Hugh suddenly asked.

Jane thought for a ******************. She said, “Proposing is fine, but getting married… I still want to wait a little longer. There are so many things I want to do.”

Such as looking for her Teacher and having him witness Jane’s wedding.

Besides, Yale’s illness had completely recovered. Eden had helped treat Hugh so that Levi and Hugh could reconcile with each other as father and son.

She also wanted to start a company with Lila, working on game design and forming an eSports team.

She would also lead Red Star Team to continue to shine, exploring the unknowns of the world to protect the country.

Oh, my god, Jane thought.

On second thought, she felt dizzy just thinking about those things.

Jane’s delicate face turned sour.

There were so many things to do….

She suddenly felt that her and Hugh’s wedding would be prioritized very far behind.

Jane wondered if she should arrange a suitable date for the occasion.

At this ***********************…

Hugh suddenly held Jane’s hand.

He knelt on one knee.

He took out a diamond ring.

“Hugh?” NôvelDrama.Org content.

Jane was shocked by Hugh’s gesture.

Under the moonlight….

Jane looked at the simple diamond ring in Hugh’s hand.

She could see the traces of time left behind on the ring.

It did not look like something Hugh would choose at all.

“My dad gave this to me… It’s the only heirloom my *******************left behind. It’s also the ring my father used to propose to my mother. My father and mother designed it together. It’s a ring that would only belong to the bride for the rest of her life.”

Jane’s heart skipped a beat. “Hugh, do you…”

Did Hugh already know Levi’s difficulties?

No… For the sake of Hugh’s life, Levi would not tell Hugh the truth until everything was confirmed.

Perhaps…

Hugh had already sensed something all the same.

He was only waiting for the day when Levi could tell him.

After all…

They were father and son.

Even if Levi did not say it outright….

They would still miss and think about each other.

It was different for Jane.

“I’ve thought of designing a new ring for you myself, Janie, but this is my first time proposing to someone. I think… I should propose to you through this ring.

“This way, I feel that my mother in heaven would bear witness to my love for you.

“Miss Jane Fowler, are you willing to accept Mr. Hugh Croft’s proposal and stay by his side no matter what happens in the future?”

Facing Hugh’s scorching, sincere, and starry eyes… Jane pursed her lips and could not help but smile.

“Mr. Hugh Croft, do I have a chance to say no?”

“Of course not, Janie. You’re my woman. You won’t be able to escape for the rest of your life.”

Hugh’s lips curled into a determined smile. He reached for Jane’s hand and slid the ring on Jane’s finger without saying anything.

The size was just right.

“See, it’s like my *******************is saying-we’re meant for each other.”

“Nonsense… But if you want to marry me, Hugh, you still have a long way to go. You’ll have to earn the approval of my three senior brothers, and you’ll have to find my Teacher and the others…”

Jane put up her fingers to count how many tests there would be for Hugh.

Before she could finish speaking….

Hugh had taken her by surprise, kissing her.

It was a deep kiss.

After a long while, Hugh finally let go.

Jane panted heavily and pouted. “Hugh, you’re breaking the rules.”

“Janie, if it’s for you, even if I have to pluck the stars and the moon, I’ll go through **************and high waters for you. I don’t care how long or difficult this road is or how many tests there are. I only care about… whether your heart would accept me and if you’d let our hearts beat as one.”

Hugh’s words were very tender.

He seemed to have used all his strength to utter every single word. They sounded extremely gentle.

They came from the bottom of his heart.

The cry from the depths of his soul resonated with Jane’s soul.

A man and a woman who loved each other deeply could understand each other’s feelings without needing to say anything.

Jane took a deep breath.

At this ***************-

Swoosh!

.

Fireworks soared into the sky.

Sparks flew.

Countless dazzling sparks bloomed.

It was such a wonderful atmosphere….

Jane could not let it go to waste.

It was time for a young girl to show her feelings to the man she loved deeply.

Under the bright lights…

Jane blushed slightly.

She pulled on Hugh’s tie.

She took the initiative to tiptoe.

And she kissed Hugh on the lips.

This gesture allowed Jane to take the initiative.

After all…

Jane was about to give Hugh her answer.

It was just one word.

It was a simple word.

It meant their hearts would beat as one. They would never hesitate to hold each other’s hands and spend the rest of their lives together.

“Yes.”

They had promised each other, after all.

For as long as time itself…

They would never separate.

Under the witness of the dazzling fireworks and countless lights…

Their kiss traveled across space and time.

It was a kiss that lasted forever.

They hugged each other, basking in each other’s warmth..

Forever and ever, never leaving each other’s side.

She wanted to be one with the wind, falling into his embrace for the rest of eternity.
