Snare of Love

Chapter 613 She Disappeared

The two looked at each other, and at the same time, they thought that she would do something to

herself silly. They walked in quickly together and found Jasmine Burke fainted on the ground.

Boyce Shawn checked her condition. Fortunately, she wasn’t out of hand, but maybe she fainted

because of too much sadness.

As he picked her up and headed out, he looked back at that person, “I might have to take her to the

hospital. Call me if something happens at the office.”

That person said yes.

Boyce went out of the office holding her. He put her in the back seat of the car parked in front of the

door, sat on the driving seat and started the car.

On the way to the hospital, Jasmine woke up to see where she was, and asked with a hoarse and

weak voice, “Where are you taking me?”

Boyce looked back at her and said, “To the hospital.”

“I’m fine, I don’t want to go to the hospital.” She propped herself up to sit up and Boyce pulled over to

the side of the road and turned to look at her, “So where do you want to go?”

Jasmine was lost. Except for the school, she didn’t have any place to live outside. She suddenly

realized that she had nothing. She tried her best to make a living, but life was too hard for her. Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

Even the last of her family had been taken away.

“I think that in my past life I must have been a horrible person. I hurt so many people, that’s why I’m

receiving so many punishments now. Otherwise, how could God treat me like this?” She sobbed, and

tears ran down her cheeks.

Boyce didn’t know how to comfort her, “Don’t say like that.”

She clasped her hands around her knees and curled up, “If not, then why has God treated me in that

way?”

“There are many people who are less fortunate than you. You have been admitted to a good university,

so after you will have a good life,” Boyce persuaded.

Jasmine chuckled in a daze, “What does this mean? Before I wanted to go to a good university, have a

good job after graduation, make a lot of money and let my mother have a good life. But after, why

should I still work so hard to make money? Who should I give it to?”

Boyce pursed his lips.

‘She definitely must feel very lonely, but she still should make efforts to keep living.’

‘You can only live once. No matter what’s the reason, you can’t give up.’

“If you have no place to go, then come to my place. I wait for you to calm down, and after I’ll bring you

over.” Boyce was afraid that she wouldn’t be able to get over it alone, so he wanted to take her back to

his place to watch her and prevent some accidents to happen.

“I don’t want to,” Jasmine refused. She just wanted to be left alone. She pushed open the car door and

got down.

Boyce followed her, “Where are you going?”

“I want to stay alone, don’t follow me.” Jasmine walked quickly because she was afraid of being

stopped by Boyce. She didn’t notice the steps under her feet so she accidentally tripped on them and

almost fell down. Boyce grabbed her arm with a quick movement, so that she didn’t fall down. When he

was about to speak, the phone in his pocket rang.

He took out his cell phone and answered. It was Officer Miller, who wanted to see him.

He looked at Jasmine and said, “I’m outside…”

“No matter if you are outside, come back as soon as possible.” Officer Miller’s tone was very solemn.

Boyce had to go back immediately. “Just ten minutes.”

He murmured and hang up the phone. He didn’t want to leave Jasmine alone, so he decided to take

her with him. “Let’s go back to the office together, then we’ll come out again.”

“I don’t want to,” Jasmine refused again.

Boyce said patiently, “Where are you going alone?”

She didn’t reply.

Because she had nowhere to go.

Ignoring her refusal, he pulled her forcefully into the car and stuffed her inside, then he quickly locked

the door. “You can’t stay outside alone. It’s too dangerous. We already know each other, so I can’t

ignore you.”

And with that, he started the car.

Jasmine didn’t cry, but nestled quietly in the back seat, without saying a word.

Boyce looked back at her and, seeing that she didn’t refuse, he stepped on the accelerator and drove

the car away.

Back to the office, Boyce took her to his bureau, poured her a glass of water and put it on the table.

“Wait for me a moment.”

Jasmine didn’t speak, but looked dumbly at that place without focusing, like an inanimate puppet.

Boyce knew that she couldn’t listen to him, but didn’t say anything, turned out of the room and closed

the door softly.

He went to the office of Officer Miller, knocked on the door and opened it only when he heard someone

inside saying to come in.

Officer Miller saw him coming inside, put down his things, walked out from his desk and asked him, “Do

you want to drink something?”

“No,” Boyce said.

Officer Miller went to the reception area in front and said, “Come here and sit down.”

Boyce came over and sat down. “Why did you call me?” he asked.

Officer Miller pondered a while and asked, “Are you going to get married with that Jasmine?”

Boyce looked at Officer Miller surprised. Although he cared about him like his father, he found strange

that he could suddenly ask such a question. “Why do you ask me this?”

“I’m going to get a glass of water.” Officer Miller stood up, picked up a cup from his desk, brewed a cup

of tea and sat back, watching Boyce. “I didn’t know until today that Jasmine’s mother was a criminal.”

“She doesn’t have any background and it’s no benefit for you to marry her.”

“I know” Boyce said.

“Even so, are you going to go out with her?” Officer Miller asked.

Officer Miller did it purely for Boyce. According to his abilities, he would definitely not be limited to hold

a deputy’s position, but he would go further in the future.

‘If he married Jasmine, a girl without any family background and who had such a mother, his official

career would be affected.’

‘If his wife had a strong background, he would go easier in the future. If that wife is Jasmine, that is to

say, she would not be helpful to him and it would be harder for him.’

Boyce got what Officer Miller meant. He never thought to rely on his wife to carve out a niche for

himself.

Although he was very ambitious, he just wanted to rely on himself.

“I don’t have so many requirements for my wife. As long as two people get along, the family

background is not so important.”

‘Officer Miller was not very surprised. He already expected that answer. If Boyce broke up with Jasmine

because of that, he would not value him so much.’

He stood up and patted Boyce’s shoulder, “Get prepared.”

Boyce gave a hum.

“I have always admired you. I wanted you to be my son-in-law but we don’t have that kind of

connection. But regarding the professional career, I will always fight for you as far as I can.”

Officer Miller took his hand back, “Okay, just do your stuff. She has been suffering a lot. Try to comfort

her, be nice to her.”

Boyce looked up to Officer Miller to clarify his relationship with Jasmine, but at that crucial moment, he

preferred not to talk about that, but only said, “I know, I’ll go then.”

Officer Miller waved his hand, “Just go.”

Boyce went out of the room back to his office, opened the door and realized that Jasmine who had

been sitting on the sofa before disappeared. The office was empty and the water on the table had not

been drunk.
