Chapter 752 We Have Never Given You Weeds
The rain kept pouring down in sheets.
Seeing four people bowing their heads in the rain, apologizing, was heart-wrenching.
Adeline looked at the four figures in front of her, and tears instantly fell from her eyes.
Her heart wasn't made of stone.
Parting from Jasper, she couldn't bear to leave him, nor could she bear to leave the three children.
But Adeline knew very well that she couldn't keep any of the three children.
Even the one in her belly, she couldn't keep by her side.
Daisy was Molly's older sister.
Adeline was well aware of what Molly had done to her children.
But... this time, she had returned to the Phoebe family with a promise to Oliver to remove Daisy, the cancer, from the family.
If Daisy got a hold of her weakness again, she would have no chance of winning.
So, she had to harden her heart.
Whether it was Blake, Bennett, Lauren, or the child in her belly, she couldn't keep any of them.
Thinking of this, Adeline looked coldly at Jasper, "Are you sure you want to stand here with the kids?"
Adeline's words made Jasper's heart ache slightly.
He frowned and turned to glare coldly at the three little ones beside him:
"Lift your heads!"
Lauren stubbornly said, "If Daddy doesn't lift his head, we won't either."
"Bringing Mommy home is not just Daddy's wish, it's ours too!"
Adeline closed her eyes, her heart feeling like it was being twisted by a knife.
Just a little more, just a little more.
If Jasper had come half an hour earlier... she would be going home with them now.
But now, she had already announced to the public that she was returning to the Phoebe family.
If she went back on her word now, how could she face herself in the future?
How would the Phoebe family face public opinion?
Would Zara's condition worsen from the stress?
If she returned to Jasper, would he treat her coldly again next time?
She didn't dare to gamble, couldn't gamble.
So... Adeline closed her eyes, "Late affection is worth less than grass."
"Jasper, lift your head."
Seeing this scene, Howard sneered as he walked over, grabbing Adeline's wrist and turning to look at Jasper with disdain:
"The Foster family shouldn't be so humble."
"You and Adeline are not meant to be, no amount of apologies will change that."
"We've investigated how you hurt Adeline before, and maybe this is the best outcome for both of you."
He glanced at the three little ones kneeling in the rain beside Jasper:
"Leaving the three kids with you, Adeline has been more than fair."
"Go back, Jasper."
"From now on, Adeline is the child of your enemy. Apologizing to your enemy, you're dishonoring your ancestors."
With that, he pulled Adeline and turned to leave.
Just before getting into the car, Adeline looked at the family of four standing in the rain and couldn't hold back.
She took off her high heels and rushed over, hugging the three children tightly.
In the pouring rain, everyone was cold.
Adeline held Blake, Bennett, and Lauren, softly telling them to take care of themselves.
Jasper remained kneeling quietly in the rain, his gaze heavy as he watched the four of them.
He knew that Adeline really didn't plan to come back.
These three kids meant the world to her.
But now, she was saying goodbye to them.
To avoid being with him, to return to the Phoebe family... she was even willing to give up the children she had given birth to and raised for six years.
What else could he do to make her stay?
"Adeline!"
After a long pause, Howard sighed from a distance and called out Adeline's name:
"It's time to go back."
"It's cold, the kids will catch a cold."
Adeline nodded, reluctantly letting go of the children and leaving.
The Phoebe family's car roared away in the rain.
Lauren hugged her brothers, and it was impossible to tell if the water on her face was tears or rain.
Blake and Bennett, who usually seemed mature, also had red-rimmed eyes from crying.
When the car finally disappeared from sight, a loud crash made everyone turn their heads.
Jasper had collapsed, falling to the ground.
Jason and Ryan hurriedly helped him up and carried the three children back into the car.
"To the hospital!"
Jason shouted in the rain, "To the nearest hospital!"
"Come to my place."
Suddenly, a cold male voice rang out.
Jason frowned and looked up.
In front of him stood a man in a blue robe, holding an umbrella.
Beside him was a little girl with pigtails, carrying a medical kit.
Jason frowned, "You are..."
"I'm Dennis."
Dennis walked over with the umbrella, his voice calm, "Going to the hospital would attract too much attention. The Phoebe family and the Torres family have spies in all the major hospitals in Oceancrest City."
"Jasper's identity and his current condition make him an easy target."
"I'm a pharmacist, skilled in medicine. I can treat him at my place."
Jason stared at the man who called himself Dennis.
"You..."
He was Dennis!
Then who was the flamboyant man with the spiky hair he met at the airport?
"Don't hesitate."
Dennis walked over, gently feeling Jasper's forehead, "He's already running a fever."
Jason was silent for a moment, then finally nodded:
"Alright, lead the way."
"I have some questions for you!"
Dennis nodded and got into Ryan's car, leading the way.
The convoy drove through the heavy rain and finally arrived at Swan Villa in the south of the city.
Blake, Bennett, and Lauren all had fevers.
Jasper's condition was the most serious. After days of unconsciousness, his strength was already low, and now, after this blow and the rain...
As Dennis treated Jasper, he frowned, "Why didn't you tell Adeline about his condition?"
Jason sighed, "He wouldn't allow it."
Dennis paused slightly as he administered the treatment, "Why?"
"First, he didn't want Adeline to worry and be sad."
"Second..."
Jason sighed, "He was afraid that if he never woke up, he would become a burden to Adeline."
The room fell silent.
Dennis examined Jasper carefully, then sighed deeply, "Even if he didn't find the Crag Root Herb and got injured, he could have told me the truth. Why deceive me with a weed?"
Dennis, being a doctor, could tell from Jasper's condition that he had been injured and unconscious for a long time.
"We never gave you a weed."
Jason frowned at Dennis, "If you're Dennis, then who was the man with the spiky hair at the airport?"
