Natalie nodded, but for sreason, she felt an unusual ambivalence about this cell, as if she was reluctant yet
compelled to approach.
Seeing Natalie's complexion change, Tina asked, "Mom, do you want to go in?"
Natalie snapped out of her reverie, "No, let's move on."
They reached Jasper's cell, where he was exercising in a ten-square-meter room. He had also requested cleaning
supplies and had kept the small room spotless, even the toilet was free of any odor.
"You seem to be enjoying yourself," Natalie remarked neutrally.
If Jasper hadn't been the second-in-command of GTO, Jasmine's double, perhaps Natalie could have become
good friends with him, much like she was with Christopher. Jasper's thoughts often coincided with Natalie's, their
understanding seeming not forced but genuinely intuitive.
While exercising, Jasper's body visibly stiffened, his back tensing. He didn't dare turn around, the shock of
hearing a familiar voice rendering him speechless.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtJasper wanted to look back to see if he had misheard.
But he didn't dare.
The possibility of turning and finding nothing, realizing he had indeed misheard, would be suffocating.
Tina glanced at Natalie, said nothing, and quietly stepped out.
She could tell how much Jasper liked Natalie; otherwise, he wouldn't have repeatedly let himself be
disadvantaged. Yet, his so-called deep affection was something Natalie neither cared for nor appreciated. Tina
decided to step away, feeling it was impolite to stay since Jasper was, after all, an old flof Natalie's.
Natalie protested, "He's not my old flame! | only love your father!"
Tina replied, "Sure, sure, you and my dad, whom I've never met, are perfectly in sync."
After Tina left, Natalie grabbed a chair and sat down. "Old friend, long tno see."
Hearing her voice, Jasper couldn't hold back anymore. He spun around abruptly. When he saw who it was, he
walked forward in disbelief, his hands gripping the fence that blocked his path. The weak electric current from
the fence made his hands go numb and his nerves ache, but he didn't let go.
It was her, really her! She hadn't died; she truly hadn't died! What a relief!
A tear fell from Jasper's eye as he slowly reached out, wishing to touch his beloved's face as he had done in the
past. But now, the rail with its flickering weak current reminded him. Between them lay insurmountable
distances. Jasper's hand paused mid-air, then sadly dropped.
Natalie maintained her usual smile. "I didn't expect that the first three things said upon our reunion would all be
from me."
Jasper let go, the electric current suddenly ceasing, giving him a momentary feeling of suffocation. "How have
you been all these years?"
His voice was hoarse, and despite his efforts to conceal it, his tone trembled, revealing his vulnerability.
Natalie nodded, "I've been well, thank you for your concern."
Jasper looked down, chuckling, unsure of what to say next. Millions of words clogged his throat, yet he couldn't
bring himself to speak them.
After a moment of silence, Natalie spoke again. "I didn't chere to reminisce today. | cto ask you, do you
know Asher Vance?"
Jasper snapped back to reality. "Asher Vance? Sounds familiar. When | was sold to GTO by the Reed family,
someone from the X Bureau tookand eleven others from the base. I think his nwas Asher Vance. What
about him?" "Don't you remember me?" Natalie furrowed her brow.
Jasper looked bewildered. "What does that have to do with you?"
Natalie pulled out a photograph. "There's a photo from back then, you and | are both in it."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmJasper leaned in to look at the photo, a flicker of recognition in his eyes.
"You really are in it!" Even though Natalie was only ten at the time, she had grown proportionally, making it easy
for Jasper to recognize her in the photo.
"My memories of that period are very vague," Jasper admitted. "I only remember being injected with drugs daily
and having blood drawn for medication. | definitely don't have much of an impression of you. What about you?
Do you remember me?"
Natalie shook her head. "I didn't even realize | had taken this photo back then."
Jasper's eyes widened, then he understood.
"It seems that Five Poisons injected us all with amnesia-inducing drugs. No wonder, Five Poisons must have been
right there, finding other ways to keep from being exposed."
"How can you be so sure Five Poisons was there at the time?"
Jasper smiled. "GTO was just growing step by step back then; there weren't many people, and Five Poisons had
to get involved personally."
"I was bought by GTO as a child, like the other kids, to be used for human experiments," he continued. "I
remember suffering from various drugs until | was sixteen, when a woman said my physique wasn't suited for
the experiments and instead trainedas an intelligence agent. Later, at eighteen, | made a deal with Jasmine
to help them use the Reed family and finally managed to return to the Reed family."
