Chapter 1000: Chapter 992: Second Brother’s Past Life 6

"After I die, bury me together with Laura."

The butler couldn’t bear it and hurriedly comforted, "General, you won’t..."

"Listen to me, now that the country is at peace and the people are safe, I have no worries, except for Tiana. No matter what, everyone in General’s Mansion must ensure her lifetime safety."

Tears glistened in the butler’s eyes, "From now on, Tiana will be our little mistress."

"You may leave."

"Yes."

Inside the room, only he and Tiana remained.

Jensen pressed his lips together and quietly asked, "Are you sad?"

She dared not speak, afraid of scaring him, and could only answer him in her heart.

It’s more than sadness; it’s a heart-wrenching pain.

"I know you have spiritual sensitivity. Now that I’m leaving, there are things I must tell you."

He leaned against the bed, slowly sat up, and as usual, held her in his arms, gently stroking her fur with a tender voice, "Tiana, saving you was something I do not regret."

In her heart, there indeed was a sense of guilt, thinking that if he hadn’t saved her from Leon Windsor’s grasp, perhaps the tragedy of annihilating the family wouldn’t have occurred.

"Leon Windsor has always seen me as a thorn in his side. Even if not for you, one day he would destroy my entire family. I just didn’t expect he would choose to do it while I was on a campaign. Laura saved you, for you, and for me."

"She knew you would find me, and as she wished, I didn’t return triumphantly like before to meet my end as I gained the opportunity to personally end Leon Windsor, and for turning the General’s Mansion against him, we too should thank you."

Tiana looked up at him, rubbing her little head against his chest, telling him that she was incredibly dependent on and reluctant to part with him, hoping he would survive.

"I know you understand. These past few days, I had a dream where you were a fox spirit by my side, helping me through a calamity. Without you, Laura would have been raped in the brothel, prompting her to commit suicide by poison. You gave both her and me beautiful years."

He lowered his head, gently kissed her forehead, and said, "In the dream, Leon Windsor used the same method to execute me and several of my loyal subordinates."

She was slightly taken aback, not quite understanding.

He continued, "After Leon Windsor ascended the throne, he was dim-witted and incompetent, causing the people to be displaced, and eventually leading to the destruction of the nation. Your presence allowed me to survive, rebel against Leon Windsor, and now, Hector Windsor is the emperor and governs the country well. This is all your doing, while I merely got to live a few more years because of you, and you made the people of The Capital safe."

Only then did she understand why, after Hector Windsor ascended the throne, she successfully became a deity.

As it turned out, all of this was already predestined.

But since she helped Jensen through his calamity, he should have lived on. Why must he die?

He saw the reluctance and pain in her eyes, and gently reassured her, "Tiana, don’t be sad."

How could she not be sad?

This feeling was too painful.

He had a slightly pampering smile on his lips, "It’s a pity I haven’t seen your human form. Surely, you’re as beautiful as Laura, right?"

"Jensen, wait, I’ll show you."

His warm voice lingered in her ears, carrying a hint of reluctance, "Silly Tiana, in the next life, when you see me, call me brother."

She didn’t look at him, leaped off the bed, transformed into human form, and rushed to his bedside, "Jensen, Jensen..."

However, he had already closed his eyes and hadn’t had the chance to see her human form before his soul departed.

She cried uncontrollably, "Jensen..."

"Jensen..."

She murmured, calling out as she sobbed in anguish, simultaneously suffocating from the fear of losing a loved one, and suddenly, her eyes flew open.

The glaring light stung her eyes, the white ceiling, and the smell of disinfectant in her nose.

She was now in a hospital.

She breathed heavily, tears streaming down her face. Despite her effort to restrain herself, the pain of loss was overwhelming.

"Tiana, are you okay?"

"Tiana, you’ve been asleep for two days and one night."

It was the voices of her brothers. She had returned to reality from the dream.

The events she experienced in her past life were deeply ingrained in her mind, as if it all happened just yesterday.

Second Brother...

Jensen...

He was Jensen.

She suddenly grabbed Aiden Shaw’s hand, her eyes full of reluctance and fear, and asked, "Aiden Shaw, where is my second brother? How is Second Brother?"

Aiden Shaw looked at her and wiped away the tears at the corner of her eyes.

Yet those tears could not be wiped dry, falling one drop after another.

"He’s still in the ward."

Upon hearing this, Tiana hurriedly ran out. The pain of losing Jensen in her past life was magnified infinitely in her heart, and she feared the repetition.

She let go of his hand, got off the bed, and dashed out without even putting on her shoes.

Aiden Shaw squatted down, picked up her shoes, and chased after her.

Theo Ford watched his somewhat lost figure, lightly frowned, feeling a mix of emotions, and looked toward his elder brother, anxiously asking, "Brother, do you know who Jensen is?"

He shook his head, "I don’t know."

During the two days and one night she was unconscious, Tiana kept calling out a name.

Jensen, Jensen...

But in his memory, Tiana did not have such a friend. He even asked May Sloane, and she claimed not to know.

A name called repeatedly in a dream must hold significant importance to Tiana.

Maxim Ford said, "Don’t worry, Aiden won’t overthink it. Perhaps there’s some misunderstanding."

"Hmm."

Tiana ran barefoot to Julian Ford’s ward, only to find him still unconscious. Her eyes were red, and she could no longer control her emotions, crying aloud.

As she cried, she said, "I’m sorry, I’m sorry I realized it was you so late."

Then cautiously called his name, "Jensen, don’t die, please wake up. In my past life, I couldn’t keep you, am I going to lose you this life too?"

Before his death, Jensen had said they would meet in the next life and to call him brother.

He did, becoming her real brother, but why did she, as his sister, hurt him.

Only through personal experience can one understand the fear and anxiety of losing someone and how overwhelming it is.

She promised herself she wouldn’t cry, but at this moment, she couldn’t help it, "Jensen, Second Brother, I’m sorry, how could I forget you? I’m sorry, I’m begging you, please wake up, okay?"

He still showed no sign of waking on the hospital bed.

Tiana couldn’t control her emotions, tears falling onto his cheek, "Didn’t you say you wanted to see what I look like in human form? I’m right here by your side. Wake up, open your eyes and see if I’m as beautiful as Laura. Jensen, I’m sorry..."

"Second Brother, it’s me, Tiana, the little fox... Jensen, I’m your sister..."

Aiden Shaw arrived at the doorway with the shoes in his hands, and upon hearing her cries, he didn’t catch what she said before, only the last four words.

His heart ached, unwilling to step forth and disturb her.
