Chapter 194 - She fainted...
As car sped off into the shadows of night Jean closed her eyes feeling exhausted. Though the night was so exciting and hilarious she didn’t enjoy much because of the probing pain of her migraine, it is like someone is hammering her skull endlessly, the pain is so intolerable....and it is getting worse for every day.
Her nightmares are becoming gloomy and sad, it is mostly about her future... the fear of loosing someone she loves....
But by the end of the day, she is contented and pleased by the outcome. But the only thing she missed was being with Scott, she knew how hard he worked to make this banquet turn favorable to her.
Scott is glancing at her feeling remorse. He promised her that he would support her and stay in her sight when she faces her family, though her brothers were always with her it is still different from him being with her.
But he is more guilty because he will not be revealing who the hacker is, in the first place Jean will never know that he found the hacker. Settling this matter is what consumed his time. But he couldn’t say about this to her at any cost.
Not because he wants to save Ethan but also because he don’t want Jean to be stressed thinking how deep and dangerous this matter had gone. He don’t want her to take the blame on her shoulders.
He sighed thinking what this will turn into, what Ethan had known is nothing but a dead end. He couldn’t help but pity his brother.
Jean saw his face which looked very tired. He even have dark circles under his eyes, what she doesn’t know is that after coaxing her to sleep he would mostly spend all his night in study room searching for hacker and arranging proper help for her to reduce her stress and work load...
Despite all of this she is also pestering him so much in her health matters, when it comes to eating she is worse and more stubborn than a child. He should patiently wait till she opens her mouth again....still he don’t say anything to her because he know how tastless the food is.
Jean felt guilty for making him even more restless, she couldn’t do anything but to comfort him. Feeling sad she gently placed her head on his shoulders looking heavily at him.
Just like her he is feeling guilty for how exhausted she is looking now. He should have stayed by her side and should have supported her more, he should have not let Jasor off his hooks that easily... he truly underestimated him.
Looking at her teary eyes and pale face, Scott felt even more sad. He sincerely wanted her to allow him to reveal their relation soon. So in that way no one will dare to approach her with ill intentions again. After she becomes the daughter in law of Summers, none of them can reach her let alone harm her.
Who will have guts to harm the pampered wife of fearfull Scott Summers. Who will try to harm her if she is beloved daughter in law of former mayor of capital city.And how can anyone think of framing her if she is loving princess of most powerful tycoon of country...Thinking of their marriage his lips curved up in alluring angle.
Looking at her adoringly, Scott caressed her head and kissed her forehead tenderly. Then gently combed her hair with one of his hand and lulled her to sleep. After seeing her exhausted face he became even more determined to convince her to reveal their reaction.
Till now she excused saying that she wants to be low key. But now she is famous enough after revealing who her brothers are... after this banquet she will become center of attention and might attracts even more flies and also unknown problems.
After reaching his mansion he carried her inside ever so gently as not to wake her up. The house staff is already very habituated to this kind of lovely behavior of their aloof master and no one dared to even make a small sound, as he took her to their bedroom.
Scott tenderly changed her into sleep ware and placed her on the bed before covering her protectively with quilt. He then exited the room quietly after staring at her for few minutes and then went back into his study.
He closed his eyes helplessly, remembering what Ethan had said to him.
Even Ethan doesn’t know who his boss is. They communicated directly through satellites which are bound to be impossible to track the IP addresses. It is electrical voice system and they are not even sure whether it is a woman or man.
They were provided with advanced technology to find out more information about Scott and his friends.
And after finding it Ethan has to send it to his boss, who will direct him what to do next. According to Ethan, his boss is weird and aggressive. And tough to predict, no one can imagine how his boss’s brain works...
It is like Ethan will be ordered to leak everything about Jean and Scott, then all in sudden he will be yelled at by the same boss not to do that.
again...
He will be commanded to reunite Jean with her friends and keep all of them safe, then again he will be ordered to expose something that might cause rifts between them.
Which might make them have some serious misunderstandings
This is how Aria was risked in assassination. That day Ethan is asked to send Aria’s location to Nathan enemies and when she is in verge of getting attacked and killed, Ethan was again hurriedly ordered by his boss, to save her by sharing the location to Jean’s elite team. Who were searching for her then.
It is totally confusing, why a same person is giving two opposite commands at the same time.
This happened at every single opportunity. But somehow their boss use to conclude whether to harm or help them. However Ethan is just one of the pawn in his boss’s hands.
Now, Ethan’s girlfriend is under their control. He was blackmailed to do this, to betray his brother in order to save her from getting tortured.
If he resisted to any of their decisions he will get a video how brutal they are while beating her up.
To save his girlfriend Ethan killed his heart and betrayed a person who gave him a second chance in life....but no one could blame him for trying to save love of his life. If Scott will be there in that place he accepts he will do the same. No one is precious than his Jean....
So, Scott didn’t have a heart to force any more further information from Ethan after listening to his heart wrenching pain. Scott knows how it feels, how it eats up the heart silently shattering persons sanity.
When he is deep in his thoughts, pair of smooth cherry lips kissed his cold ones. Instantly making him feel better. As he opened his eyes he saw Jean sitting on his lap with her head on his chest. She looked worried and afraid...
"What is it, baby. Is anything wrong. Did something happend" Scott kissed her forehead and started massaging her temples. He don’t want Jean to blame herself for plight of Ethan.
It is very distressful to think that he and his friends are the real reason for Ethan’s sufferance. If it wasn’t for them Ethan would have been happy with her by now. But still Ethan didn’t blame any of them.
Seeing Scott space out again Jean tightened her arms around his neck and buried her head deep into his chest. She is afraid what’s making him this worried. Small part of her knows he is keeping a secret from her.
Feeling Jean’s struggle, Scott forced a little smile on his face. He kissed her lips passionately and held her tight in his embrace savoring her unique scent and comfort.
"Every thing is fine right." Jean whispered against his chest as she rested onto his bare chest after removing his shirt. Her head is burning. She just woke up because of nightmare, only to see a empty side of bed and not being in his embrace made her panic.... a fear of loosing him too.
"You are burning." Scott said worriedly as he hurriedly held her head in his hands. He didn’t notice but her eyes are actually in deep shades of red.
Her nerves at temples are slightly bulged up. And her forehead started to drench with sweat. She looked pale and is slightly shivering. These are signs of severe migraine.
"I had a nightmare that my grandfather died. It was so horrible that I was standing helplessly as he got dragged into mortuary. So weird that I was the one who killed him." Jean sardonically laughed. Her tone is so bitter and painful.
"Hush.. It’s only a nightmare. Nothing like that will happen ever in our life, please stop thinking so much. It will only trigger your migraine" Scott comforted her and hugged her tightly to his chest.
His heart ached by seeing her tear strained face. Never in his life he thought he would love a person this deeply, that their tears are enough to shake him to his core.
"But it almost happened Scott, I-" Jean sniffled a sob and started crying. "He... he was poisoned because of me, if.. If the antidote was not there in my laboratory at that time I... I don’t know what would have happened"
"Scott I almost thought I lost him. I couldn’t think of my life without you. This made it so difficult for me, I-" Jean sobbed continuously as her eyes became deep red and she shivered involuntarily and tightened her arms around him, but there was no trace of strength in it.
Even before Scott got alerted Jean fainted in his arms. Sending his heart into waves of panic...
Then at the same instant Scott got a message on his phone.
[ I will be watching you people always, now there is no uncertainty in my thoughts]
Then his phone got switched off. Later a tiny smoke excluded out from the mother board of his mobile. His phone got hacked and then blanked out.
Sweat slowly dropped from his handsome face.
