Mentioning the events of that year seemed to cause Jack great pain. He took a deep breath and continued,
"When Brother Jayden had only his last breath left, Martina Autumn found us. She said she knew a doctor who conducted underground human body research and might be able to save him. At the time, I was very opposed to it, fearing that Martina Autumn would use Brother Jayden's body for some illegal research. But... Brother Jayden... he wanted to live."
The phrase "he wanted to live" was like a sharp sting, penetrating the hearts of Jesslyn Derei and Amanda Jenkins, causing their eyes to redden.
Beside them, the bright eyes of Lucas Griffin also dimmed.
"He said he couldn't bear to leave you all." Jack paused, "Even if there was only a glimmer of hope, he wanted to try..."
"Then what happened?" Jesslyn Derei looked at Jack with tear-filled eyes, blaming herself for not being by Brother Ethan's side during his most painful moments.
