Grief, Betrayals, and a Core of Blaze

Chapter 553 Two Mothers

"I’ll pass." Jensen snorted coldly and turned his head away. Rachel saw he was ignoring her and didn't press the matter. As long as I leave Ocean City, the sky’s the limit. I can reclaim my son whenever I want. With both lost in their own thoughts, the car fell into a rare silence. Jensen felt anxious but couldn't let it show. The car drove all the way to the airport. Perhaps it was his guilty conscience, but Jensen felt the airport seemed especially empty today, and the atmosphere was oppressive. Rachel observed her surroundings, her brow furrowing slightly. "Why aren’t there many people at the airport today? Aren’t there supposed to be discount flights tonight?" Jensen was surprised by Rachel's sharp observation, but he said coolly, "How would I know about airport business? I just park my private jet here; I didn’t buy the whole airport." After speaking, he started walking inside. "Wait!" Rachel tried to grab Jensen. Just then, Hansel suddenly appeared with several men. "Mr. Jensen!" Hansel ran over quickly and immediately grasped Jensen’s hand. When Rachel saw that the men with Hansel were all Luke family bodyguards and no one else seemed to be around, she secretly chided herself for being overly suspicious. "Jensen, don’t think you can ditch me just because your Luke family people are here. The poison in your body cannot be cured without my antidote. If you want to live, you’ll obediently send me out of Ocean City." Rachel’s words made Jensen’s eyes narrow abruptly. He saw the seriousness in her eyes. So, Rachel really did poison me! Heh! A woman who is very likely my biological mother abandoned me for over twenty years. Now she’s using my connections to escape, and she’s still ruthless enough to poison me! What do I need a biological mother like this for? A trace of coldness flashed in Jensen’s eyes. The poison was real. After all, Jensen had felt weak and powerless ever since Rachel had taken him. He had assumed it was a sedative, thinking perhaps he hadn't drunk enough water to metabolize it. Only now did he realize Rachel had actually poisoned him. "I won’t go back on what I promised you. But when will you give me the antidote for the poison?" Jensen’s gaze held no warmth. Rachel was surprised and felt a pang of sadness. Being treated so coldly by her own son truly made her feel awful, but she had no choice. She hadn't told Jensen his true identity. Even if she did, she couldn't guarantee he would help her.To escape, to survive, this was all she could do for now. She hoped Jensen could understand her. "As long as I leave Ocean City, I’ll send someone to deliver the antidote to you. You know I still have people here." Jensen’s expression was grim, but he said nothing more. Hansel grew anxious. He never imagined Jensen had actually been poisoned by Rachel. What should we do? If Rachel is captured, is Jensen finished, too? Hansel’s eyes filled with anxiety. He gripped Jensen’s hand tightly. Jensen sensed his agitation and gave him a reassuring look. Just then, Loretta popped out from seemingly nowhere. "Rachel, you bastard! How dare you hold my son hostage?" Loretta, whose public image was always noble and elegant, rushed over like a shrew, grabbed a handful of Rachel’s hair, and began slapping her face repeatedly. "Ouch! Loretta! You dare hit me? You old bitch, you really think I won’t fight back, do you?" Rachel was so furious she shouted Loretta’s name. With her hair being pulled, she couldn’t see Loretta’s face or movements at all. She could only flail her arms instinctively to counterattack, but she kept missing. Rachel shrieked in frustration, "Jensen, are you just going to stand there and watch her hit me?"When Loretta heard this, she froze for a moment. What did that mean? Did her son know his true identity? That bastard Rachel, didn't she swear she would never tell him in this lifetime? Damn it! The son she had meticulously raised for over twenty years was being snatched away by this old scoundrel? In the brief moment Loretta hesitated, Rachel found her opening. She pushed Loretta to the ground, straddled her, and swung her arm, slapping Loretta hard across the face. "Old bitch, you dared to hit me! I’ll kill you today!" Rachel’s face was contorted with ferocity and killing intent. Although Jensen was weak, he roared when he saw Loretta being humiliated. "Are you all blind? Someone is bullying my mother, and you’re just standing there watching? What use is the Luke family paying you for?"
