Chapter 128 Johnathan

"J… Jack? How is that possible? Are… aren't you inside there?" Angy stuttered as she looked at Jack before pointing at the ward. She was sure that Jack was inside there and he was wounded.r

How the hell was he out of the ward? And what's more, how come he wasn't injured? There wasn't even a scar on him!r

Angy was in disbelief. What else would happen if not this? She could still remember clearly that she had seen Jack being taken into the ward. Furthermore, he was full of injuries. But the Jack in front of her was completely healthy.r

Could it be that the one that she had taken in was the imposter or was the one before her an imposter? Thinking things through, she thought that it might be possible.r

If there are two people who look the same, then one of them had to be an imposter. And the one with the highest probability of being an imposter was the one in front of her.r

Perhaps he had wanted to kill Jack so that he could take his place. Now that he heard that Jack wasn't dead, he was here to finish him off. The more Angy thought of this, the more vigilant she became.r

Her gaze became sharp, observing the movements that he was making.r

Looking at the girl's expression as she looked at him, Jack was dumbfounded. What was wrong with this girl? Had something happened?r

Shaking his head to dispel the questions in his mind, Jack looked at Angy and asked once again, "Are you sure about what you just said? After all, I'm right here but you're claiming that I'm in the ward."r

Hearing Jack's question, Angy didn't know how to respond for a moment. She was silent and now, she felt the three gazes on her. She was the only one that had seen the person that was in the ward.r

Wendy arrived when the doctors had already taken him in the emergency department and were already working hard to infuse more blood into him. As such, they were not allowed in even after they transferred him to the ward.r

"I'm no longer sure what's going on here. I'm sure that the person that I took inside there is Jack. But at the same time, I can see that Jack is in front of me. I'm completely confused." Angy shook her head as she sat down on the bench.r

"Jack, do you have a twin brother?" Celine thought of something and asked.r

"A twin brother? I don't think so. As long as I can remember, it had always been me and my mother. Had I been having a twin brother, how could I have not known till now?" Jack shook his head in disagreement.r

He couldn't believe that he had a twin brother. That was something that he deemed impossible. If it was true, then he would have grown up with him.r

As for the matter of the separation of twins at birth, that thought never occurred to him at all. When he was born, his mother was already in the Alfonso family. So, he didn't think that there was a nurse or doctor who would have any designs on someone from the Alfonso family in Crystal city.r

Additionally, he didn't believe that the Alfonso family would play such a trick on him. If that was so, they would have simply gotten his twin brother to marry Wendy, since he, Jack wasn't agreeing with them.r

Hearing Jack's answer, not only Celine, but even Wendy was startled. Jack simply said that he had only been with his mother since he was growing up. He didn't mention father, did that mean that his father never treated him well?r

They weren't sure. But all the same, they were sad for him. To only grow up with love of a single parent, one could already imagine what would happen.r

It was also at this moment that they understood why Jack claimed that he was no longer part of the Alfonso family. It turned out that the Alfonso family never treated him fairly.r

Johnathan POV.r

I'm not sure what is going on at the moment. At first, someone called me Jack, he said that he was there to kill Jack. But, I'm not Jack, I'm Johnathan.r

When I saw the image in the phone of that assassin that was sent, I thought that it was just a matter of Photoshop. I had not wanted to get involved in a fight as my strength was low at that time. But, it seemed that that guy was serious about killing me. r

So, although it was difficult for me, I still managed to kill him. With my background, it's not the first time that several assassins have been sent to eliminate me. In the end, none of them left after they came.r

So, the sight of blood and killing a person didn't stun me at all. I felt nothing as I was used to this since I was sixteen years old.r

After killing, I decided to leave the scene after informing my subordinates to clear it up. I had thought that the injuries that I had suffered from wouldn't cause me much problem.r

In the end, I had overestimated myself. As I edged towards the end of the forest, I could feel my consciousness blurring and I immediately knew that I was going to lose consciousness. And if that happened, as long as I didn't receive first aid immediately, I would die from losing much blood.r

It would have been better if my subordinates found me. But in the end, with the way that things were, there was no way that I could go back as I had walked too far from the scene. The only choice that I had at that moment was to continue forward.r

So, I hurried my pace and managed to arrive at the edge of the forest. Then, I felt that I couldn't hold on anymore. But at that moment, I heard someone shouting at me.r

"Jack! What happened to you?!" It was a lady who asked after she screamed. Just as I was about to fall, she caught me on time.r

But there it was again, I was being mistaken for Jack. At first, it could have been a coincidence or someone was simply plotting against me. But the second time, not to mention that the person showed no malicious intentions, she even showed concern towards me.r

At that time, I thought that, maybe, there was someone called Jack. He was the reason as to why I was attacked, but also the reason as to why I was saved. All the same, I still had a question in mind, what was going on for me to be confused for Jack? Then, everything went black as I lost my consciousness.r

Now, I can feel that the pain that I was facing had been greatly reduced. I can feel that my consciousness was coming back. I can now feel things.r

To me, it was like I had been in a short period of slumber. But, I know that it might even be an hour since I lost my consciousness. And feeling that there are things that are wrapped around my arms and other parts of my body that were wounded, I can already tell that I'm in a hospital. After all, just the smell of medicine in the air is enough proof.r

I release a sigh of relief. Then, I try opening my eyes. And as I look at the white ceiling, I'm forced to take a deep breath as I think of how I came here.r

Something happened back at home. I was attacked just like usual. But the attacker at that time was far stronger than the ones that came before. Additionally, this person had some kind of poison that when he used on me, my strength plummeted.r

Had it not been for the fact that my most trusted subordinate arrived in time, I might have been killed at that time. To hide from the danger, I decided to stay away from home for a year so that I could recover.r

Although I wasn't sure when I would recover, at least I felt that I would need at least a year for that drug or poison that is infecting me to be dispelled from my body.r

As for antidotes, I tried looking for them but I never managed to find any. At the end of the day, I had to use time to save myself.r

During this one year, I have been staying in the western province, roaming from city to city, making sure that I never stayed in the same city for more than a month.r

But, there was only one city that I had stayed in for more than a month. It was called crystal city. Of course, I never stayed there for two consecutive months, but I always stayed there for a month before leaving for two.r

During one of the months there, I had managed to save a girl. And although I had met many girls back at home, this girl felt special. But, I decided not to get involved with her, lest she fell in danger.r

But all the same, I always found myself back at the place that I had saved her. Perhaps that was the reason as to why I found Crystal city interesting? A question without answers.r

Tap! Tap! Tap!r

I'm suddenly jolted back to reality from my memories by the sound of footsteps approaching my bed. Turning my head, I can see that it is a man with a white coat. I assume this is the doctor that is attending to me.r

"Mr Jack, how are you feeling?" The man asks. "Is there any abnormality that you think should be taken care of?" The doctor asks again.r

"Ahm, I think I'm good." I reply. As for the second question, I have an impulse to reply that he should take care of the issue of naming. I'm Johnathan and not Jack!r

All the same, I manage to hold back my impulse and remain silent.r

After hearing my reply, the doctor nods and picks up a file that was placed beside my bed on a small cabinet. After writing some things, he looks at me and says, "You have a few people here, including the one that brought you here, do you want to see them?"r

I think there's no harm in knowing what was going on and who this Jack was. I have to at least clarify that I'm not Jack. So, I nod my head in response.r

Seeing this, the doctor leaves the room without saying a word. Seeing that nobody was going to come in for at least a minute, I decide to look around the ward.r

At least, it's not shabby. I think to myself. The room that was used as my ward only had me in it, not sharing it with other patients. And currently, there's still blood being injected into my body in drips.r

Had I been in my peak state, I wouldn't have needed this as my regeneration could make up for the loss of blood as long as I rested enough.r

At this time, I hear the door being opened. Then, one after the other, four people step in. The first one was the girl that had saved me. She still had the same clothes that had blood marks on it.r

The next one gave me a surprise. She's actually the girl that I had saved back then!r

As for the third person, she too was a beautiful lady, I can't help but stare at her for a few more seconds.r

The last person….I immediately get up and sit on the bed as I stare at the young man that had entered the ward.r
