Feel the Way You Feel, My Love Chapter 1311
Stubborn On The Lips
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
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtJacqueline’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
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmway 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.
