Chapter 0040 I think Id better go with Jasper , I told her .
Hes been patiently waiting all this time .
And we needed to talk .
At Cathys nod , I turned away and walked with Jasper down to his car .
Once we were safely inside , he started the engine , turned to me , and asked , How in the world has Lucian not found out ? So he did know .
Closing my eyes , I exhaled deeply .
You cant tell him .
Or anyone .
Opening my eyes again , I stared at him , hoping he could see the seriousness in this the severity if I were to be found out .
Calebs family was just one of many who would do anything to get the medicine I developed .
If the truth were to get out , my entire life would be upheaved .
I wont say anything .
Jasper said .
You swear ? I do , he replied and drew an invisible cross using his finger over his heart .
I didnt know why , but I believed him .
Relaxing slightly in my passenger seat , I sighed .
What are you going to do , though ? Jasper asked .
Returning his attention to driving , he put the car in reverse to back out of the parking spot .
Then , in drive , he pulled forward .
Are you going to give Caleb the medicine ? I dont know , I admitted .
From the outside , he doesnt appear to be in good shape , but as hes not awake , he cant advocate for himself .

It was a tough case made tougher by Calebs inability to respond You dont have to give him the medicine if you dont want to , Jasper said .
Since its your medicine , you are the one who gets to make the choice .
I dont know how Ill live with myself if I make the wrong one , I said .
I hate having to make these choices .
Theres never easy answers , and sometimes theres regrets … Dont let the family bully you , Jasper said .
We all know they just want to keep their dad alive so they can continue to use his reputation for their own financial gain .
Im not sure theyre considering the guys feelings at all .
If I keep him alive , perhaps a cure could be found for what is truly wrong with him in that time .
If we could bring him out of his coma , he might have a few more years of enjoyable life left .
Even as I said the words , I kept imagining the man who had spoken to Lucian three years before .
Hed wanted to see his wife again , even then .
Was it right to keep him alive how ? A headache formed in my brow .
Rubbing at it did little good to ease the throbbing pain .
This had been an exceptionally long day .
I wanted to go home , go to bed , and not worry about anything again until the morning .
Jasper pulled his car up to the sidewalk in front of Cathys house .
Cathy wasnt back yet , but the front porch light was on as was the one in the living room .
Shed likely wanted to have light waiting for her when she returned .
Thank you for the ride , I said .
And for your promise to keep things quiet .
Jasper grinned .
Of course .
Maybe being a good boy could earn me another date ? Rolling my eyes , I opened the car door and stepped out .
I dont hear a no ! Jasper called after me .
Goodnight , Jasper , I said and slammed the door .
Chapter 0040 +25 BONUS As he drove off down the street , I approached the front door of the house .
Nearing it , I noticed a folded scrap of paper tucked in near the doorknob .
Grabbing it , I flipped it open and read the words written within .
This was Calebs handwriting .
1 Aria- Im not giving up yet .
I refuse to go along with the divorce .
