Chapter 118 - Who are you? (3) (1/2)

Jackson took a step forward and stretched both of his arms sideways as if welcoming his upcoming death. This sudden move of him made Cefei's men more alert. But without their Young Lord's command, they wouldn't pull the trigger just yet.

”You may kill me now, just as long as you promise me this.” Jackson stared at the man in front of him with pure resolution.

Cefei was confused and torn between what he supposed to do or not. This was really something out of his expectations. Did that mean that Jackson had real feelings for April?! He couldn't help but look at the woman in his embrace. What exactly did happened on this Island?

”Don't...”

Just then, April made a noise. Although her brain was aching really badly from fainting and from the sudden flashes of memories in her head. Jackson's voice woke her up. Still, she couldn't even open her eyes. She was sweating profusely, her breathing was uneven and pulse was erratic.

Seeing her poor state, Jackson threw a bottle to the man in front. ”Make her take it! Or else, she wouldn't be able to handle the drugs inside her system!”

Cefei caught the bottle, it was a clear bottle and he could see white pills inside. ”Why would I trust you?! You made her into this state!”

Jackson sighed heavily and said. ”I did it to save her! Sal had found out that she was alive. It was only a matter of time before they would take her and experiment on her! The only way to save her was to erase her memories! If she recalls everything, it would be the death of her.”

Cefei froze, his hands turn cold. April was still murmuring 'don't' several times. For whatever she was asking don't for, it looks like she really was in pain. Still, he didn't want to take the chance. His club knew several prominent Doctors in all sorts of fields. Surely, they will be able to find out what's wrong with her and save her. He would not trust this lowly man!

As soon as the Helicopter arrived, as well as the boats, Cefei immediately carried April into the Helicopter Lift. Disregarding Jackson and his men. No matter what, Jackson was surrounded by guns.

As soon as April was being lifted up, Cefei looked back at Jackson. Jackson's eyes didn't left April's. ”For her sake, I'll leave your life for today. After this, you better not show in front of her anymore. As soon as I'll find out, your neck would no longer be needed to be attached to that body of yours.” Cefei gritted his teeth and clenched his fist as he said this. He was never the soft guy with his enemies, yet he believes that Jackson indeed didn't want April to get hurt. Although it was puzzling, he didn't want to bother. April's safety was on the line. He then turned away and started climbing the ladder going up the helicopter.

Jackson could not even reply and only watch them leave. One of Jackson's men finally couldn't help but ask his boss. ”Are we just gonna let them leave like this, boss?”

Jackson chuckled. ”What can I do? It's better like this. I'm too ashamed to see her.” After that, he didn't wait for the party to leave and decided to leave himself. He turned around and went back to the villa.

The men followed him and replied. ”Do you know of their identities? If they are not from the Hawthorne's side, who then? Her profile didn't involve anybody else. She had a pretty tight social group.”

Jackson shakes his head as he walked. ”If my guess is correct. They should be from the Black Dragon Club.”
