No Way Back

Chapter 423

Jane Fowler naturally noticed.

She let out a sigh silently.

It was just as she had expected.

Hugh Croft knew his father, Levi, was at Santio Church.

He cared about his biological father, after all.

Of course, how could he not care about him? Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.

No matter how ruthless his father was to him, they were still blood-related.

Not to mention…

Levi had his reasons.

Jane wondered if Hugh knew about it.

She thought of Levi’s concerns.

Yet she could not tell Hugh the truth about his father abandoning him to Victor Croft to raise him.

However, Jane made up her mind this time around.

“Hey, Hugh, have you ever thought about what will happen if we get married in the future?” she asked.

There was no answer.

Hugh glanced at Jane in surprise.

It was as if he could not believe what Jane had just said.

Jane pouted and said, “Hugh, we’ve hugged, kissed, and done everything imaginable between a man and a woman. Don’t you dare go back on your word and not marry me!”

Hugh panicked and quickly replied, “No! Please don’t take it the wrong way, Jane! I look forward to this ***more than anything else. We can register our marriage now if you wish!”

Seeing Hugh’s nervous expression, Jane chuckled and pinched his face playfully. “Relax, I’m just pulling your leg. I understand your feelings for me after spending so much time together.”

“I’m glad you do. Shall we go and get our marriage license right away?”

Hugh was anxious and could not wait to fill in Jane Fowler’s name on their marriage license.

“Hugh, it’s only a matter of time before we register our marriage, but we have more urgent things to take care of, haven’t we?”

Jane looked at Hugh intently.

Hugh grabbed her hand and pleaded, “But that has nothing to do with us registering our marriage. We don’t have to reveal our union. I promise not to let anyone know about our marriage registration. As for the wedding date, you can decide.” “What kind of premarital love storyline is this? We are not some D- list celebrities in the entertainment industry for crying out loud!” Jane thought.

Yet she could not bring herself to say it aloud.

Hugh’s gaze was so moving it made her knees weak.

What about the marriage license?

Jane was already **********prepared that the man before her was her Prince Charming for the rest of her life.

Jane was never an indecisive person.

She would prefer to cut the Gordian knot quickly. That was her personality.

“Hold on. You’ll have to meet my three senior brothers first. Before we can do anything else, I must look for my teacher and introduce you to him too.”

“By the way, Hugh, I asked you to help me locate Master Humphrey Mitchell. Do you have any luck so far?”

Jane had almost forgotten about this matter.

In fact, Jane and her three senior brothers knew their teacher was still alive and well somewhere.

Jane had not given up on looking for him all this while.

As a member of the Red Star Team, Jane even exercised the state authority to search on the server and satellite map, but to no avail.

There was still no trace of the Teacher.

After all, he was a legendary figure who taught Jane and her three senior brothers all they knew.

Humphrey Mitchell could have deliberately hidden his whereabouts and not wanted to be found by them.

In that case, it would be impossible to locate him, no matter how hard Jane tried.

Although Jane was not hopeful, she had asked Hugh about finding her teacher in passing.

Surprisingly, Hugh gave her an unexpected reply. “There’s been some progress.”

“What?”

Jane’s eyes suddenly widened. “Hugh, what have you found about Master?”

“I’ve already sent someone to investigate. I don’t want to tell you until I’m sure as I don’t want to disappoint you, Believe me, Janie, I’ll do my best and inform you as soon as there’s any news.”

Hugh had always kept his promise to Jane and had never forgotten it.

He did not say anything to her because he was not sure yet.

Jane nodded vigorously, and her eyes sparkled like the stars. “Of course, Hugh, I believe you! I’ll leave everything to you!”

Finally! They had come this far!

Regardless of the outcome, there was finally some hope!

“Janie, what do you think is the best reward for making a man work hard?”

Hugh’s brushed his fingertips gently across Jane’s lips.

It was very suggestive.

Jane smiled knowingly. She sat on Hugh’s lap and grabbed his lie.

With a gentle tug, their lips met.

Jane preferred to take the initiative in matters of the heart.

On the following day, Aaron Fowler, who had been unconscious for several days, finally woke up.

When Peter Fowler saw Aaron regain consciousness, he quickly woke his father and the others resting. “Dad! ***! Aaron has woken up!”

Jack, Anna, Quinton, and Madelyn Fowler immediately gathered by Aaron’s side. “You’re awake, Aaron. How are you?”

“Dad. ****.”

Aaron looked at his family in confusion. His eyes were turbid. “I… Why am I here?”

Jack was stunned. “Don’t you remember anything, Aaron?”

“I… I only remember that we went to Cloudnine Restaurant for dinner. What happened after that… I really don’t remember anything… Oh! My head hurts!”

Aaron covered his head in pain. Anna comforted him, “All right, Aaron, don’t think about it if you can’t remember. Maddie, send for the doctor immediately. Quinton, pour a glass of water for your brother!”

“Yes, ***.”

Madelyn brought the doctor to the ward, and the latter thoroughly examined Aaron.

“Aaron must have suffered a huge shock back then to have lost his memory. He is fine now after the checkup and can be discharged today if Mr. Fowler wishes to proceed. Recuperating at home will be beneficial for his recovery.”

Jack heaved a sigh of relief and said gratefully, “Is that so? Thank you, doctor.”

“Don’t mention it, Mr. Fowler. Let me know if you need anything.”

The doctor left the ward.

The family fussed around Aaron to make sure he was comfortable.

Aaron felt a little tired and fell asleep while on a drip.

Jack and the others left the ward soon after.

“It’ll be good for Aaron to forget about the whole matter. Otherwise, he will suffer even more.”

Jack was thankful that Aaron had lost that part of his memory.

Otherwise, he might recall that he suffered from hyperventilation because of the argument between Anna and Jane.

He would feel guilty for sure.

Anna blamed herself. “Jack, it’s all my fault. Aaron suffered because of me.”

Jack comforted her. “All right, Anna. We’ve already talked about this before. You’ll make Aaron suffer even more if he sees you this way. Do you want that to happen to him, huh? It’s all in the past. We have to move on, right?”

“That’s right, ***. I feel terrible to see you like this. I’m the one who hurt this family. I hurt Aaron, ***, and Janie,” cried Madelyn.
