Chapter 3587: Chapter 3589

When William saw the appraisal result, he felt a complex emotion.

He was relieved, but at the same time, he felt heavy-hearted knowing that Jasper would be disappointed.

As expected, Jasper was stunned for a moment after learning the appraisal result. “Roger, it’s really not Lawrence?” he asked.

“No, it’s not,” William replied, handing the appraisal report to Jasper.

She took the report with a slight tremble and carefully examined it. After a moment, her eyes became misty and soon after, tears flowed from her eyes like pearls.

“Originally, he really isn’t…” Jasper muttered with a choked voice.

William took out a tissue from his side and carefully wiped away the tears of the person in front of him.

“Don’t cry, he’s not gone forever. We can keep searching and one day, we’ll find him!”

At this moment, he would rather Roger be Lawrence!

If at least Roger is telling the truth, then Jasper wouldn’t be so heartbroken, right?

Jasper suddenly let out a cry and hugged William tightly, burying her head in his arms and crying, “What if we can’t find him? What if I never find Lawrence? What if Lawrence is already…”

She couldn’t bring herself to say it out loud, even though she had thought about the possibility countless times. She was afraid that if she said it, it would become reality.

“It won’t happen! Lawrence will be okay, we’ll find him,” William reassured her.

After a while, Jasper’s emotions finally began to calm down. “Thank you, William. You always comfort me,” she said.

Over the years, he had comforted her countless times.

He always acts as her stabilizer when she is emotionally unstable. Without him, she might have suffered even more.

“Can I lean on you a little longer?” she asked, leaning on his chest, feeling a sense of comfort and letting the pain in her heart slowly sink into a corner.

“Sure,” William replied.

She leaned on him, almost putting her entire weight on him.

He remained still, allowing her to lean on him. He was like a steadfast harbor, embracing her like a small boat that seemed to be overturned by the strong winds and rain, keeping all the storms away from her.

After a long while, Jasper slowly lifted her head and said, “I’m much better now.” Her eyes were still red, making her slightly pale face look even paler.

“Your eyes are still red,” he said, as he gently brushed his finger over the corner of her eye.

“Remember to put some ice on them when you go back, or they’ll swell up tomorrow.”

“I know,” she said. “William, you’re so good to me.”

Whenever she was sad or upset, he would always be there for her. Even when they were separated by distance for a long time, he would immediately video call her when he found out, and sometimes even rush to Emerald City overnight.

Sometimes, she even felt that perhaps the person who understood her the most in this world was not her parents or siblings, but him!

“I just hope you can be happy,” William said. She knew that as long as she was happy, it would mean everything to him.
