A long moment passed.
Jasper Sherwood's thin lips parted. "Then use my health in exchange for her recovery."
Misty was silent for a long time before asking, "Are you sure?"
"I'm sure."
"No regrets?"
Jasper Sherwood shook his head. "No regrets."
"Just make sure I stay alive. I want to grow old with Nina Donovan."
His request was simple: he wanted to grow old with Nina Donovan.
"I understand," Misty said. "You two will be happy. Oh, and by the way, after I do this one last thing for you, I'll be disappearing. I'm so glad I could walk this path with you."
It circled around Jasper Sherwood.
In the ten years Nina Donovan was gone from this world, it had almost always been by Jasper Sherwood's side.
Watching him fight for power, watching him carve out his own empire in a cutthroat world, watching him go from having nothing to being feared by all.
He had walked a lonely and dangerous path for these ten years.
His ultimate goal was simply to have enough power.
