Rebirth of the Wife in Despair

Chapter 276

Chapter 276 You Have Feelings For Me

“Have you forgotten who you’re working for?” The man’s tone was icy.

A hint of hesitation appeared in Jasper’s eyes, yet he was still overwhelmed by the decision deep within his heart. He knew the consequences of his actions today, but he had no other choice.

“She will understand.” After saying that to Fabian, Jasper drove away from the company.

Fabian pursed his lips. “I only hope that you won’t regret this time! In truth, if Ms. Eileen had any other choice, perhaps… she wouldn’t have chosen this path of engagement with Mr. Smith. Her sole purpose was to escape her current situation. With her abilities, she got into the Hulbury Central Art Academy. The day will come when she no longer needs him, and by then, Mr. Smith will only be filled with regret.”

The scene on the highway was a complete mess, with only the two silver sedans involved in the accident. The perpetrator had already disappeared.

“Mr. Smith… when we arrived, the car had already exploded.” Jasper grabbed the policeman by the collar, his eyes wild like a crazed beast. “Who told you to chase her!”

The others quickly separated them, with one person saying, “Mr. Smith, even though you are a powerful man in Hulbury, you cannot disregard the law. Assaulting a police officer is a serious crime. Someone has already explained to you over the phone that Nancy Mulligan is in a mental hospital, suspected of murder. We are also acting in accordance with the law.”

“A mental hospital?” How could she possibly end up in a mental hospital when she was clearly in prison?

“Yes, we are still investigating the specific reasons. We will record the matter regarding Nancy when we return. Furthermore, we will intensify our search. If there are any developments, Mr. Smith, it would be

best if you report to us promptly. After all, we’re dealing with a mental patient, and there’s no telling what she might do next.”

The scene of the car accident had already been handed over to other relevant departments.

Jasper’s heart had turned into a tangled mess, torn between Eileen on one side and Nancy on the other. It was only when something had happened to Nancy that she occupied all his thoughts.

A light rain began to fall from the sky, immediately shrouding the atmosphere in a veil of gloom. Jasper sat in the car, wearily resting his head on the steering wheel. Nancy is dead! It’s all my own doing.

Just then, a text message alert sounded from the phone on the passenger seat. He read the text and his face grew even more serious. He pressed hard on the accelerator, driving straight into the rain.

In a mansion in the western suburbs, Nancy looked at the long-unseen living room, feeling as if a lifetime had passed. This place held all their memories. Every corner of the mansion, from the cozy couch to the bustling kitchen, and the serene rooftop terrace, had been a silent witness to their shared intimacy. In those moments, their deepest desire had been to dissolve into each other, to become an inseparable entity.

Nancy sat quietly on the couch, waiting for his arrival. Indeed, she was all right. She had staged a car crash scene on purpose just to see what Jasper would be like if he thought she was dead. She had photos of Jasper going crazy for her at the scene and already knew the answer.

An hour and a half later, the mansion front door was opened. The password for the villa was her birthday. Look, he still remembers.

Upon seeing Nancy, Jasper was consumed by rage. He had assumed she was safe and unharmed until he

saw the scars on her face and arms and the mental patient uniform she was wearing. Jasper’s fury instantly dissipated, and he just stared at her, not looking good either. “Who let you out of prison? I don’t have time to play these boring games with you.”

Jasper was about to turn around and leave when Nancy’s hysterical voice stopped him. “Why do you think I was released? It’s all because of you! Do you know how much I’ve suffered because you sent me to jail with just your words? They pinned me to the ground, slashed me with sharp knives across my body and my arms, and called me a delusional and shameless person, a b*tch! They treated me like this just because I said we were once together. I was treated like a madman, and everyone was free to trample on me. I was severely beaten, teetering on the brink of survival. Had it not been for someone finding me when I was down to my

last breath and sending me straight to a mental hospital, what you’d be seeing now would have been my dead body. What on earth have I done wrong, Jasper? Why are you treating me like this? Have you forgotten? In the past… you never allowed me to get hurt. Whenever I was bullied, you would always stand before me.”

Tears streamed down Nancy’s face, slipping off her chin. At this point, she felt no different from a madwoman. Her heart had already become twisted and irreparably broken long ago.

Jasper had no idea about all that Nancy had been through. He was at a loss for words, unable to utter a single sentence.

“I was sent to a mental hospital, forced to take injections and medication… I’m not sick, but they simply wouldn’t listen to me…” Nancy kept pouring out her grievances to him, feeling as if she could only feel better by telling him everything. “I wanted to get out, but I couldn’t. Even if I’m not sick, I have to take the medicine. I could only cooperate with them…”

Her trembling voice and mournful cries echoed throughout the silent mansion.

Jasper replied to her indifferently, “What kind of compensation do you want? Is five million enough?

Upon hearing this, Nancy burst into a fit of hysterical laughter. “Five million! Jasper… do you truly believe that the pain I’ve suffered can be offset by monetary compensation? Does this money of yours also include the price for my life? If you’re just going to dismiss me with money, I’d rather have died in that car accident. It would be better than hearing these heartless words from you. I have nothing left anyway. If I die, it will just be the end of everything. Without me, you can peacefully get engaged to another woman, without any unnecessary obstacles in your way.”

The wounds on Nancy’s body were nothing compared to the pain she felt in her heart.

The rain outside intensified. She stepped into it, letting the downpour wash away the blood on her. However, it wasn’t her blood; it was Ronald’s.

Jasper followed her closely, guiding her from the rain into the living room. “Enough! How much longer do you plan to continue like this? You made the choice to leave. You shouldn’t have returned.”

“Well then, I’m leaving now. I won’t be a bother to you anymore. After all, I’m just considered crazy I don’t care how others perceive me.” Nancy was about to depart, but Jasper pulled her back. “You’ve taken a life. Where do you think you’re going?”

Nancy suddenly burst into laughter. “Jasper, is it truly so difficult for you to admit that you have feelings for me? If you truly don’t care about me, why did you come here today?” Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

Nancy reached out to caress his face, her eyes filled with affection and tenderness. However, they were both drenched to the bone at the moment, appearing a bit disheveled She stood on her tiptoes and passionately kissed him. Jasper pushed her away, but Nancy seized the opportunity, releasing her frustration by biting his lip forcefully
