Chapter 1401

If Kurt hadn't died, at least her daughter would still have a father. Perhaps things wouldn't have turned

out like this.

The doctor dressed Jack's wounds and exited the room. With an inquisitive look, he asked, "Miss, this

man has a lot of scars on his body. Who is he?"

Marina gave him a stack of cash. "Don't ask anything you shouldn't. This is your fee."

The doctor's eyes lit up at the sight of so much money. He understood that Marina had to be someone

important, and he should just take the money and shut up.

"Understood, miss. His condition is stable. He just needs to rest for a while."

"Thanks."

Marina called Tim over. "Send the doctor back."

She went back to the bedroom.

Jack was topless and lying in bed. She could see his bandaged arms while his torso was covered by a

blanket.

The lighting in the basement was bad, so she hadn't gotten a good look before. She finally had a

chance to get a good look at Jack.

He almost looked identical to Kurt. Marina couldn't tell the difference between the two despite having

known Kurt for many years and being quite familiar with him.

She remembered from their night together that Kurt had a gunshot wound on the left side of his

abdomen.

Marina grabbed a corner of the blanket, but Jack gripped her wrist tightly as she was about to pull at

the blanket.

She cried out in pain.

Jack had already opened his eyes.

Marina was sure that the man before her wasn't Kurt the moment he opened his eyes. Kurt would

never look at her like that.

His gaze was cold and distant. Then, realization struck.

"It's you." Jack's voice was different from Kurt's as well.

Marina was disappointed when she realized he wasn't Kurt.

"You know me? Who are you?

Jack knew about everyone Kurt was close with, as Kurt would tell him everything.

He had already seen a photo of Marina the first tKurt told him he had someone he liked.

"I've fallen for a proud young lady. She's stunning when she dances. She's like an elegant swan.

"Here, take a look. I took this picture in secret. She gavea good beating because of this."

Jack remembered how excited Kurt was when he talked about Marina.

"I'll work hard so I can marry her. Why won't she fall for me?

"She turneddown again. She threw out the sand I brought back from the desert. She said she

would ground my bones to dust if I ever brought her sand again."

One day, he visited Jack with a big smile on his face.

"You'll have a nephew soon. After I return from this mission, I'll visit the Carltons and ask for Marina's

hand in marriage.

"Then, I'll leave this life behind and start a business. I don't want to risk my life anymore.

"She said I wasn't romantic. I heard that Ethan built a whole garden of white roses for Olivia, and she

loved it.

"I'll build Marina a garden of black roses. I'll propose to her when I cback."

In the end, Kurt never got the chance to propose.

Jack knew all about what happened between Ethan and Marina. Honestly, he didn't like this woman

much.

He would think she was disgusting and vile if not for Kurt.

"Who is Kurt to you?" Marina met his cold and unfeeling gaze. She could clearly sense his animosity.

"He's my older brother. My nis Jack."

Marina was stunned. "He never toldhe had a brother."

"Well, now you know. Did you save me?" Jack remained cold.
