Tears fell down from the corner of Jarrod's eyes. But no one saw it.
What did his father just do?
How ridiculous!
Jarrod was in great pain as if his body was falling apart. He felt that he might die in the next moment. However, the pain just kept tormenting him. He couldn't speak or move, like a corpse on the ground.
He didn't expect to end up being like this when he ate the Golden Bug. He thought that he could withstand the gnawing of the bugs and cleanse his body of the bug poison. He would no longer be manipulated and controlled by Aaron if he succeeded.
He also knew that the Golden Bug was extremely violent. He would die if he failed to endure it.
Jarrod made up his mind after Samuel and others left. He didn't have any back-up plan. Now, at the gate of death, he finally realized that Aaron was indifferent and ruthless towards him.
Aaron had raised him for thirty years. Although Jarrod didn't feel much warmth form Aaron, he still regarded Aaron as his father.
But Aaron disappointed him.
He was Aaron's son!
It had been 30 years. People would have developed a close relationship with their pets as time passed, not to mention human.
But Aaron treated him like a rag that could be thrown away at any time. He didn't even give Jarrod a coffin. Instead, Aaron asked people to throw him into the bugs' vat to stay with his mother, who had died long ago.
Was Aaron really his father?
What was he to Aaron?
Jarrod was heartbroken, but he also felt a bit relieved.
Aaron had left so Jarrod had no anticipation now.
The relationship between him and Aaron had come to an end.
He would repay Aaron's caring with his death today.
Jarrod closed his eyes and tears flowed down his cheeks.
There were no other people here so no one would see him being vulnerable and upset. Jarrod didn't need to hide his emotions here. He could finally cry.
Jarrod felt pain and coldness all over his body as if he was in an ice cellar.
If he couldn't make it through, he would die here. He wondered how Amelia was now. Was she worried about him?
