Sir Ares, Goodnight novel (Jay Ares and Rose)
Chapter 552

"Nobody's going near," Tempest ordered demandingly.

"We can't beat up the young master, but we can beat this fella up. Let's go." Then, more than ten people surrounded Tempest.

"F*ck!" Tempest cursed as he leaned his back against the wall as the punches from those men rained on him.

Jay slowly walked inside, going past a path made of wooden planks to see a row of rooms. Jay's heart inexplicably started beating rapidly.

He pushed open the only door that was shut. On the bed was a woman with a thin figure. Before Jay could take a good look at her, she speedily hid under the covers.

Jay gulped before his heavy footsteps led him to the bedside.

He saw a lock of long hair sticking out of the covers. He was feeling indescribably nervous.

Jay cleared his throat before his deep and mesmerizing voice echoed in the room. "I won't harm you. Please come out."

The woman stuck her head out of the blanket. When Jay saw her face, he stumbled in shock.

Time had not erased the beauty of her youth, but her

face appeared thin and shriveled, like a ghost.

The woman shed a tear before hiding under the covers once again.

Her body was seen jerking under the covers and Jay could hear her baby-like sobs. He was taken aback to realize that his reaction had hurt her feelings. He remorsefully said, "I'm sorry, I'm not afraid of you. I'm just feeling heartbroken for you."

The woman stopped crying, and this time, her voice was heard from under the covers. "Child, just go."

When she said the word 'child', it was not clear, but Jay's eyes became watery.

"You're my mom, aren't you?"

When she heard the word 'mom', she became emotional and pulled away from the covers, revealing her small and sickly figure.

"My son?" she cried harder.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry." She repeated it countless times.

Jay grabbed her hand and gently asked, "Why are you apologizing?"

"I've frightened Jens. I didn't do it on purpose. I just wanted to get a look at him..." It seemed that she had limited vocabulary and found it difficult to express herself. Thus, each word she uttered needed to be analyzed by the receiver.

Jay thought about it and managed to guess her meaning. "I don't blame you. If Jens knew the truth, he wouldn't as well. We're all grateful that you've continued to love us in the dark all these years." Jay sat on the bed and said, "Let me piggyback you out."

The woman shook her head. "No, no, I won't go out."

Jay tried to persuade her. "You need treatment!"

The woman suddenly smiled comfortingly. She clumsily ruffled Jay's head. "I've got no regrets even if I were to die now."

Jay became agitated. "What rubbish are you uttering? You must live on. I'll take good care of you."

He then realized that he had been too fierce and lowered his tone. "Can you bear to be apart from me when we've just only met? Don't you want to watch Jens grow up into a healthy boy?" The woman cried as she shook her head and climbed up Jay's back.

When Jay carried her out, the man from earlier returned. He furiously stood in front of Jay and said," She's mine. I won't allow anyone to take her away."
