Chapter 197
She hugged the little guy’s head and printed a kiss on his forehead, her eyes were already wet, “Baby, take me to find that uncle, okay? Mommy wants to see him, Mommy wants to see him…”
“Okay, Mommy, I’ll take you there!”
The little guy simply thought that Jean just wanted to meet Uncle Mask, and wanted to thank him and apologize in person.
He led Jean to the mask’s camp.
However, before he could get in, he was stopped by Laila.
“Baby, take your mommy back to rest!”
Jean glanced at Laila, nodded hurriedly, thanked her in English, “Thank you very much, thank you for saving me and my child.”
Although, she didn’t know why they wanted to save them.
Because she didn’t have time to ask her son.
“No. We should.”
Laila “rubbed” the little guy’s cerebellum.
They are just fighting for their allies!
The little guy was a little guilty and didn’t dare to continue this topic, but said, “Aunt Laila, my mommy wants to see Uncle Mask!”
“Baby, let’s tomorrow! The mask is not in good condition now, and has suffered a little injury, and is now asleep! We should fly to the camp after a little rest. Besides, you two don’t have to apologize to him specifically, that person will not care.”
“Such…”
The little guy blinked, raised his head, and looked at his mother.
Jean nodded, her eyes filled with regret and loss, but she knew that she shouldn’t embarrass others anymore.
“Miss Laila, is the mask seriously injured?”
“Not too serious, don’t worry.”
“That’s good.”
Jean felt relieved a little, and her worry was also let go a little bit.
She glanced at the opposite Laila and seemed to have something to ask, but in the end, she stopped talking.
“Ms. Glover still wants to ask anything?”
“I…”
Jean hesitated a little, glanced at the camp behind her, and finally shook her head, “No, there’s nothing to ask.”
She wanted to ask about the face of the man inside.
However, now she is not sure that the person is him at all. If she rashly inquires about other people’s affairs in this way, it seems a bit unreasonable.
Jean followed her son back to the camp in a muddle-headed manner.
She has been thinking, if the mask is him, then why doesn’t he recognize her?
Does he not recognize her, or does he not want to recognize her? Or… he isn’t, what about that person?
Jean is lost!
“Mummy…”
The little guy pulled at the hem of Jean’s clothes, blinked a pair of innocent eyes, and looked at her curiously, “What’s wrong? Why do you look so desperate? Is it because you came out, aren’t you used to it?”
Jean looked down at her child.
She wanted to tell him that Uncle Mask might be his daddy, but she didn’t say anything.
She was afraid of giving the child hope, and in the end, let him down again, that feeling would make him uncomfortable!
“Well! I just came out, I am not used to…”
Jean took the little guy into her arms, hugged him, and buried his face in her soft chest, “I’m really… so happy to be able to breathe the air outside!”
She never knew that the air outside turned out to be so fresh…
This feeling of being rescued is so happy, so happy…
So happy, almost unreal!
“Baby, where do you want to go next?”
Quill, the little guy asked her.
There is some guilty conscience in words.
He lowered his head and hesitated for a while before he said, “Actually, they are willing to save us because I made an agreement with them…”
“Agreement? What agreement?”
Jean was surprised.
“I… I said, as long as they rescue us, I promise to join their ‘Ball’.”
The little guy’s voice became lighter and lighter.
Jean’s face became paler and paler, “Baby, do you know that they are…the hired group…”
“I know…”
The little guy nodded knowing his mistake.
“The hiring group… keeps their heads on their waists at any time! They can’t even control the future! You…”
Jean’s eyes were already red.
Because she knew, what the little guy promised would not change easily.
He is a man, and the man keeps his promises. He has always done what he says, just as he once said that she must be rescued from the AU.
Now, he did it, and successfully rescued her, but as a result…
But because of her, he sold himself again!!!
Jean closed her eyes tightly…
She “forced” tears into her heart.
“Baby, don’t cry! Don’t cry…”
The little guy was so anxious that he almost cried, “I know I’m wrong, I shouldn’t be the boss! But…only then will you be free! Don’t you want to find Daddy? Baby, if you want to add, I will let Uncle Mask take you back! If you miss me, come and see me, okay? We will be free when we come out, you don’t have to be locked in that small house anymore! You can go wherever you want to go!!”
Jean cried harder because of the child’s apology and sensibility.
“What about you? Can you go wherever you want?”
Of course not!!!
Jean knew that he was reluctant to leave her, but only in this way could she be free…
And his freedom… as if in his eyes, it is no longer important!
“Baby, you don’t have to worry about me! Uncle Mask and Uncle Checker are very good! Look at Uncle Mask blocking bullets for us…”
Jean hugged the little guy and said in a choked voice, “Baby, where are you, mommy is there!! Even if there is only a house of tens of square meters, I don’t care!! Mommy cannot be free, but must… Want you!! Mommy knows that I can’t stop you, but you must protect yourself! You are not a person without a home, you still have Mommy! You can’t just abandon me, you know?”
The more Jean said, the more emotional she became, and in the end, she couldn’t help crying out loud.
“Baby…”
The little guy loves his mother.
With his small arms open, he hugged Jean full of arms.
Tears also fell with her.
Here, in the camp.
The mask sat aside, smoking non-stop.
Checker also accompanied him, “You don’t smoke a little bit, it hurts, it’s not good for your health!”
“It’s okay.”
The mask said nothing, just continued smoking.
“Hey! Mask, what are you doing today! That’s not your style.”
“What?”
The mask looked up at Checker pretending.
“Why block the bullet for them! You know, it’s not an ordinary bullet, it’s white phosphorus, and it will almost kill you when it hits you!!”
“I like that kid!”
The mask answered for granted.
“No! He has his mother blocking him, so you don’t need to do anything else! You don’t just want to protect the kid, you also want to protect his mother! Why? Are you interested in her?”
When Checker asked this, Laila happened to walk in from outside.
When she heard this, she paused suddenly, with a strange expression on her face, but quickly adjusted her emotions, stroked the hair on her forehead, and smiled, “What are you talking about!”
“I’m asking why he blocked this terrible phosphorous bomb for the mother and son!”
“It’s nothing.”
The mask was unwilling to answer.
“Do you like that woman?”
Although Checker didn’t believe that the indifferent mask would fall in love with someone so easily, he had to admit that he blocked the bullet for her, it was a kind of romance.
Love, at first sight, is not impossible.
The mask chuckled, “What are you kidding?”
On the opposite side, Checker’s face was a bit strange and his expression was a bit awkward, “Brother, what are you talking about!”
“I’m not worried about him! Don’t even want to kill for a woman, is it worth it?”
“Okay! Go out and let him rest! Somehow they are wounded.”
“Ok!”
Checker went out of the camp, Laila did not rush to leave.
“They came to you just now.”
“Ok?”
The mask looked at her puzzled.
“Just the mother and son.”
The faintly blue eyes of the mask shrank a few times, and layers of ripples appeared under the eyes…
“Why are they looking for me?”
“I don’t know.” Laila shook his head. “I said you want to rest and block them.”
“Ok…”
He nodded, looking in a daze.
“I don’t want to see her now…”
In his mouth, the so-called her is not him, but her!!!
It is in English.
Laila said slightly, “Do you like her? Or do you know her? No! Don’t you remember anything? Mask, do you think of something?”
“No!”
The mask denied and shook his head. The horrible face under the cloth was still a little sad, and she heard him say dumbly, “I just don’t want to scare her anymore!”
In a word…
Laila was silent.
Yes!
That woman’s reaction probably really hurt the mask!
“Do not do that…”
Laila squeezed his hand, “Mask, not everyone in this world cares about your appearance.”
The mask smiled faintly, a little astringent, “But nine out of ten people will be scared to scream by my terrible face, and even… will cry.”
Laila was silent.
A kind of suppressed silence.
“Well, Laila, I want to rest!”
He issued an eviction.
“Hmm! Good. Then I’ll go out first.”
Laila turned and left the camp.
On the bed, the mask tossed and turned, but couldn’t sleep.
The scared eyes of that woman are all in his head…
Heart unconsciously grabbed…
Hand, holding his chest!
He has to admit, in fact, here…
It hurts!!!
No one would want to see him like this, no one would want to see him more!!! Even if, just one glance.
Just one glance, he can scare a child to cry, can scare a woman out!!!
The feeling of chest tightness made his bet that he could never sleep again.
He just got up and went out of the camp to change shifts with the guards.
Anyway, idleness is also idleness, it would be better to let them in for a break.
He changed shifts with a member of the group to take care of him. After standing for less than half an hour, he felt that the grass area not far in front moved strangely.
He subconsciously tightened the gun at his waist and leaned slowly towards the grass…
After only a few steps, he stopped quickly.
The guns were put down, and all defenses were relaxed.
Under the gauze, those blue eyes became deeper and deeper.
Because…
The opposite is nothing else, but that woman!!!
That, the woman they rescued today!!!
That, the woman who was so scared that she passed out!
He immediately turned around and walked back, as if he hadn’t seen the person walking towards him at all.
“Arthur!!”
Chapter 198
“Arthur!!”
Behind him, Jean hurriedly yelled when she saw him walking quickly.
The steps under her feet hurried to catch up.
In front, the steps under the mask gave a sudden pause, but, in just a second, he moved forward again and walked forward.
He even didn’t look back at Jean behind him.
“Jack!!”
“Jack!!”
He walked so fast that Jean couldn’t catch up with him.
But, just looking at his figure, her eyes were unconsciously wet…
That familiar back figure appeared in her dreams countless times, she will never forget it!!! Not to mention seven years, even ten years, she can’t forget it!
Even if his appearance changed, his temperament remained.
It’s him!
It’s him!!!
“Jack, it’s you, right? You stop!!! Stop…”
She shouted excitedly, her voice choked.
The teardrops came out of the eye sockets uncontrollably…
For so many days and nights, she was looking forward to meeting this man again…
At last…
The frontman stopped.
He turned and looked at the emotional woman opposite.
The blue eyes were calm and waveless as if there was no mood swing.
Sword’s eyebrows raised slightly, he asked, “Miss Glover, who are you calling? Call me?”
He “fucked” fluent English and asked her.
And the sound…
It was surprisingly hoarse.
Jean strangled, almost reluctant to believe…
Because…
The man’s voice…
It’s not a voice she is familiar with at all!
This voice is not from Jack!!!
How… how could this be?
She was reluctant to accept this reality!
“My name is a mask!”
The dumb voice corrected his name.
“Also, don’t walk around outside the camp at night. An accidental watchman might kill you as an enemy!”
He confessed to her alienated.
But Jean has been staring at his faintly blue eyes all the time…
Those eyes are familiar to him!!!
“Are you Jack?”
Jean insisted on asking him again.
The mask took a deep look at her, and directly denied, “No.”
Jean felt her chest choked, and she felt like someone was hollowed out in an instant…
“So, you don’t even know me?”
She asked again, her voice trembling violently.
“Yes!”
The mask nodded.
A dark light flashed across the eyes…
Jean’s tears finally couldn’t help falling again…
She apologized, “I’m sorry…”
She apologized for her rudeness, “I thought… I thought you were him… You guys are so alike…”
The mask only stood opposite her, blue eyes staring at her tearful…
The eye pool shrank a few times…
In the end, he didn’t say much, but said, “Go back and rest!”
“Thank you for saving me and Jackson.”
Jean thanks.
She didn’t want to just leave like this…
She doesn’t know why, she always has a feeling…
She feels that the man in front of her is the man she has been looking for!!!
Therefore, she was reluctant to be so deterred!
The mask pursed his lips, and said, “Your son, very smart!”
“Thank you! He is more like his daddy!”
As Jean said, she secretly glanced at the opposite man.
However, what disappointed her was…
He has no response!!!
Jean’s heart was frustrated.
In response to her answer, the mask was silent.
This man seems to be not good at words at all, or he has no intention of continuing to communicate with her.
This made Jean wonder what to do for a while.
She’s not going to go, but she’s not going to stay here.
Forget it…
Jean took a deep breath without a trace.
She seems to be here, just embarrassing him! What’s more, he is still vigil now!
“Then I will go first…”
Jean nodded, walked around him, and walked forward…
Every step is so difficult…
With every step, it hurts more in her heart.
Is he her Jack? But…
Why? Why are they so similar…
“What…”
Just when Jean was thinking about it, she felt a pain in her ankle.
She couldn’t help but exclaim.
Even when she hadn’t had time to know what was going on when she was a child, she only felt a cold wind sweeping towards her behind her.
In the next instant, her whole body was swept over by a powerful arm, and he lightly fell to the ground and sat down.
A pair of icy big hands quickly rolled up her trouser legs…
After that, he simply helped her take off her shoes and socks.
The movements in his hands are very neat, his expression is still surprisingly calm, and his eyes are focused on Jean’s bleeding ankle.
At a glance, he knew that it was the most common venomous snake in Africa that bit her.
And this toxin spreads quickly.
The poison must be taken out immediately, otherwise, this leg may be scrapped!
Jean was sweating profusely from the pain, but she just gritted her teeth and refused to cry.
Unexpectedly, she only felt that the injured ankle was warm…
“What…”
A damp feeling came…
She realized that her wound had been held in his mouth by the man in front of her!!!
There was a feeling of the blood being sucked out in an instant…
And he…
The man called the mask in front of her…
He lifted the gauze on his cheek with one hand and kept sucking the toxin out of the body for her…
“What are you doing? No! Don’t be like this…”
Jean kept shrinking her legs, but was helplessly caught by his big hand, “Don’t move!!”
“No! You will die like this!!”
Jean was so anxious that her eyes were red.
She kept pushing him away, just trying to break free of his imprisonment, but the strength between men and women was so great that Jean couldn’t hold him at all.
Due to her restless struggle, the gauze on the mask’s face kept falling, so that he could not safely take drugs for her.
He only hesitated for a second…
The next moment…
Without saying anything, he tore off the piece of gauze covering his face.
She only heard him muffled, “Don’t look at my face.”
There was a sudden pain in Jean’s heart.
Watching him keep taking drugs on his legs, then vomiting…
That kind of desperate appearance made her eyes red again.
And the twisted scars on his cheek…
It was as if it had been drawn on her own heart, a piercing pain!!!
“Don’t do that, okay? I beg you…”
She didn’t want him to ignore his life for her!!!
That moment…
She seemed to see Jack in her dream…
Such a familiar face and such an enchanting smile completely overlapped with the man in front of her.
There is a feeling that tells her that this man is him, really the person she is looking for!!!
“Jack, it’s you, right?”
Why?
Why is he willing to sacrifice his life for her and his son, but he still refuses to recognize them?
The mask that helped Jean suck blood did not say a word until he felt that the toxin was almost coming out, he finally stopped.
At this time, Jean felt that she had lost too much blood, she was groggy and couldn’t walk at all.
And the mask, probably because of taking drugs for her, his head was a little dizzy, but fortunately, he could hold it.
Stopping her weak and delicate body with an arm, he walked to the camp, “I will take you to Laila! You have to hold on!”
Jean was tilted in his arms, her eyes moist, her head resting on his familiar shoulders, she was breathing his unique taste…
Seven years…
For seven full years…
After so many days and nights, when she meets him again…
Jean realized that she still remembered his taste and feelings clearly!!!
He’s him!!!
He is him!!!
Tears blurred her eyes…
However, she no longer asked why he refused to recognize her, why he refused to recognize their son, he was a good boy!
It doesn’t matter if he remembers them or not, but as long as he can stay by her side like this, that’s enough!!!
Isn’t it?
What else can make her happy than this moment?
Her son is by her side, and her beloved man…
Also by their side!!!
She seemed to feel the hot gaze that she had been focusing on his face, and the mask felt a little uncomfortable.
Pulling the gauze with one hand, busy blocking his cheeks.
He is very unwilling to show himself in front of others!
He is…inferiority!!!
That, always aloof, Jack…
Unexpectedly, he will feel inferior…
There will be such a state of mind!!!
Jean’s heart hurts.
Her heart, as if it were torn apart by someone, it hurts to death!
If she could, she wanted to tell him…
No need for this, no need for inferiority…
Because people who love him, no matter what he becomes, always love him as one!!!
Thinking of this, Jean remembered the shock when she first saw him last night.
Her heart was choked, full of guilt hit her chest…
“I am sorry…”
She buried in his arms and apologized softly.
“Ok?”
The mask is still a bit unclear.
Jean’s head lowered, “I shouldn’t have been so scared that day. I mean…”
“I know what you want to say.” The mask interrupted her directly.
His voice was still dumb as if it came from a deep well, “It’s okay, I don’t care.”
Because he is used to it!!!
Faced with the shock of others, the fear of others, and even the disgust of others…
In the end, he chose to treat people with a mask.
“I won’t let you see me like that again!”
He continued.
There was a pain in Jean’s heart, and tears almost poured out, “Are you angry with me?”
She asked him choked up.
“No.”
He answered truthfully, his voice was calm, and it did not seem to be angry.
“I don’t want to scare you anymore!”
“No!!”
Jean denied it, and she stood still, feeling a little excited, “Following…no, no, Mr. Mask, I didn’t mean that! You don’t need to be like that even if you don’t wear a mask, it’s true. It’s okay! I won’t be afraid…”
The mask also stood still.
His eyes looked deeply at Jean on the opposite side.
After a while, he said, “Miss Glover, I think you have misunderstood something. I am afraid that it is not only you who scared me but…everyone who saw me!”
After finishing speaking, he ignored the embarrassing blush on Jean’s cheeks, swept his long arms again, took her into his arms, and did not move forward.
Jean was so embarrassed that she just wanted to find a hole to bury it.
She just wanted to encourage the man in front of her, but she didn’t expect that when she said something, it seemed to change.
Just like…
She proudly thought that this man was wearing a mask just to prevent him from frightening her!
Alas, Jean, she acted like a narcissistic wife!!!
