Sir Ares, Goodnight novel (Jay Ares and Rose)
Chapter 942

She was like an empress standing on a giant's shoulder looking condescendingly at her subjects.

"Have you drank the waters of Lethe, Jaybie? And crossed the bridge to the underworld? Would you still remember me?

"I'm sorry, I can't join you yet. I need to stay here and finish what you started and find our son. Also, I want to stay here and wait for your return."

A gust of wind rose from the ground, taking away the rustles of the autumn and welcoming the harsh cold of winter.

Like winter, Angeline turned colder and colder as she waited.

Using ruthless and unsparing methods, she quickly forced the Titus, Bell, Ares, and Severe families into submission.

A few years later.

In a fishing village.

A woman was picking freshwater mussels by the river with a four-year-old child on her back. Several women gesticulated at her and said, "That's her, the woman who picked up a wild man a few years back and married him. I heard that the man has also brought with him a man in a vegetative state. In the past few

years, she not only has to earn money to support her family but also has to take care of her useless husband. Her family drove her out because they were displeased with her."

"Well, you can't blame that useless man for having such good looks, can you? If I met a man like that, I'd pick him up and hide him in my house too," a young woman sneered, sounding like sour grapes. 1 The woman did not say anything and went home after picking a basket full of mussels.

The woman's house was located at the end of the fishing village where there were only a few broken fenced houses. The houses were extremely shabby and would start leaking whenever the rain poured continuously, so pots and pans would be used to catch the rain.

When the woman came home, she started the fire dexterously and began cooking.

Her man was sitting at the end of a stove in the other room. Although he was wearing clean old clothes, they had failed to conceal his natural elegance and nobility.

There was another good-looking man lying on the bed, but he had been sleeping for many years. Although there were still vital signs that showed that he was alive, he was no different from a dead man. Soon after, the woman walked in with a bowl of mussel stew. When she noticed the man staring at Tempest, who was lying on the bed, she could not help but tease. "He won't wake up even if you stare at him all day. From what I can see, it's better to send him to a nursing home. At least a doctor can perform checkups for him every day."

The man's charming face turned sullen. "No one's allowed to take him away as long as I'm here."

The nursing home in the fishing village was a place for old widows and widowers. He went there before, and the place reeked so badly because no one was taking care of the elderly's personal hygiene. The man lying on the bed was his savior. The woman once told him that the man had used his own body to shield him beneath his own, and that was why he had only suffered a slight concussion and lost his memory.

On the other hand, the man had entered a vegetative state.

When he bathed him and wiped him dry, he noticed a small grass tattoo on his shoulder blade, hence he named him Tempest.

The woman handed the mussel stew to him and sighed weakly. "It's been three years. We have no money to treat him and can hardly make ends meet ourselves. Our son will start school in two more years. Are you planning to live like that for the rest of your life?"

The man put the mussel stew on the table, his charming pupils turning deep and profound.

"I'll find a way to earn money, Marilyn Auberge."

The woman named Marilyn Auberge laughed bitterly." Fishing has been the major source of income in this fishing village for generations. You have mysophobia and can't stand the stench of fish. How are you going to earn money?"

The man fell silent and said nothing.

Marilyn said, "My parents have some money, but they're extremely snobbish and only care about my elder sister who has married into a well-off family. I went to borrow money from them yesterday but they were unhappy to see me and refused to lend me any money."
