With that, Shane threw the handkerchief onto Jackson's face and turned around for the elevator with both hands

tucked inside his own pockets.

Silas did not immediately follow suit. Instead, he gestured at Jackson with a finger to the two security guards so that

they would watch Jackson, just to make sure Jackson did not do anything foolish. Only afterward did he go after

Shane.

Although Mr. Shane was not explicit about wanting to stop Dr. Baker from seeking death, he must not actually wish

to see the doctor dead. Otherwise, he would not have bothered to make the trip and to bring up Dr. Baker's parents

at all. All in all, Mr. Shane must just be stubborn on the lips.

When they stepped outside the entrance to the hospital, Shane suddenly paused. Amidst Silas' confoundment, the

former took out his phone to make a call.

Very quickly, Silas realized who he was calling. Shane had called Jackson's parents and told them everything; about

Jacqueline's death, Jackson's resultant anguish, as well as his desire to end his own life over it.

Jackson's parents nearly fainted from their aggrievement over that.

Knowing well what sort of person Jacqueline was, they had never approved of Jackson's infatuation with that

woman. That was especially the case in a recent couple of months past when Jackson and Jacqueline started seeing

each other in earnest—a situation that they met with fervent opposition. The debacle with Jacqueline went as far as

to drive a wedge between their son and themselves.

However, parents could never outduel their own children. In the end, they compromised and allowed Jackson and

Jacqueline to date. That was because they knew that Jacqueline was not serious about Jackson, to begin with. They

reckoned that she only meant to use Jackson by agreeing to be with him and would kick him to the curb as soon as

she was done with him.

Their thinking was that Jackson would have swallowed a bitter pill by then and be able to see Jacqueline as who she

really was. That was why they relented to permitting them to be together.

Things unfolded exactly as they had predicted. Jackson and Jacqueline broke up shortly after, and that came to

Jackson as a massive blow. As pained as they felt as parents, they were even more relieved that Jacqueline had

been mercifully quick to dump their own son. Otherwise, it would have hurt him even more if she had done so after

she deemed him completely surplus to requirements.

Initially, they were in the belief that Jackson would be able to walk out of the shadows of his heartbreak soon after

they parted ways. Never did they expect that Jacqueline would emerge as the culprit behind the killing of Shane's

parents. Also, they had never expected that Jacqueline would cajole Jackson into setting her free after she had

been held captive by Shane, leading to the dissolution of the friendship between Jackson and Shane, and

subsequently, the disintegration of relations between the Thompsons and the Bakers.

All of that only fueled their contempt for Jacqueline. As though it's not enough that Jacqueline took her own life, how

could she try to drag Jackson down with her?

The very thought of that drove Jackson's parents mad with rage.

Jackson's father promptly said, “I hear you, Shane. Thank you for informing us of this. We shall head down to

Stanford Hospital and bring that rascal home right away.”

Shane grunted in acknowledgement and hung up the call.

It was as Silas thought. Shane was nonetheless unable to simply allow Jackson to perish alongside Jacqueline the

way he declared.

First and foremost, it was because Jacqueline was not someone worth doing that for as far as Jackson was

concerned.

Secondly, Jackson was a friend Shane grew up with, and even Jackson's parents had been great to him, enabling

him to feel the care and love that came from his elders. Hence, no matter what, he was not going to allow Jackson

to die just like that.

Shane had said whatever he could to console Jackson. The rest would be up to the latter's parents.

If even Jackson's parents could not sway their own son, then he would not go any further trying to persuade Jackson

from seeking death. Shane had tried and done everything that he could to prevent that. If Jackson were to remain

insistent on the course that he had set himself on, then it would mean that he was not someone worth the effort.

“Let's go.” With a frown, Shane slipped the phone back into his own pocket and strode down the steps and toward

the car parked by the side of the road.

As usual, Silas stayed close behind. Upon nearing the car, he picked up his own pace to get ahead of Shane to open

the door for him. “After you, Mr. Shane.”

Shane bent down and got inside the car, and Silas took his own place in the driver's seat. Then, the car rolled out

and departed from Stanford Hospital.
