Jonathan’s face fell in an instant. He darted toward Walter and snatched the letter from him. Undeniably, nothing was more horrendous than the devastating truth. He swayed on his feet as though he was going to collapse at any second.

Nevertheless, that was not the worst moment for him. Franklin added fire to the flame by uttering deliberately, “Old Mr. Jadeson, let me tell you something. When Shin attempted to flee many years ago, he was worried that you would hold his letter. Hence, he posted a copy to me, asking me to pass it to his brother. Have you ever thought about the possibility that your eldest son could be the only person among all the Jadesons who knew best about Shin’s condition at that time?”

Jonathan could hardly breathe, aghast at hearing more devastating secrets that he was going to unveil.

“Later, right after he was assigned by you to the front line, Charles headed straight to Avenport to finish off your daughter-in-law and her son. Were you the one who instructed Charles? If not, how could he know about their exact location in Avenport? Have you ever thought about that?” A malicious-looking Franklin added insult to injury by enunciating the words. He was indeed rubbing salt in Jonathan’s wound cruelly and stabbing his vulnerable heart constantly with his vicious words.

Unable to fight off the stabbing pain in his heart, Jonathan clutched his chest, his vision turning blurry. Due to utter breathlessness, his face gradually turned purple.

“Old Mr. Jadeson!” the Chief Prosecutor yelled out nervously; his face turned ashen. He rushed down hastily toward Jonathan, but it was too late.

 

Urk! Blood spurted out from Jonathan’s mouth before he wobbled and was going to collapse at any moment.

There was reverberation of squeal in the congress hall.

 

At the eleventh hour, a figure moved as quick as a bolt of lightning and stretched out his hands.

In the twinkling of an eye, Jonathan had landed safely in his arms.
