No Way Back by Anna Mac

Chapter 210
Jane was shocked. “What? What stranger’s smell?”
What the ******! Was Josh’s sense of smell more acute than a dog? He could even detect Hugh’s odor?
Even though Jane pretended to be calm, her voice still gave away her guilty conscience.
Josh and Yale were even more suspicious now.
It was just impossible to hide anything from their sharp eyes,
Not even for Jane.
Then again, Josh and Yale did not put much thought into it.
Perhaps the hotel staff had been there.
As Josh and Yale did not ask further, Jane pretended to be famished and concentrated on eating her breakfast, throwing other matters out of the window.
Four days passed in the blink of an eye.
Sam was officially discharged from the hospital.
“How is it, Sam? Do you still feel unwell anywhere?”
“Quinton, when did you become so long-winded? Where’s the man of few words? I could have been discharged two days ago. It was so boring in the hospital.”
“You’ve become bolder since studying overseas. How dare you talk to me like this? Huh!”
Quinton squinted. An ominous aura exuded from his eyes.
Ranked number six among the siblings, the younger Sam did not dare to be impudent. “Ahem. I’m sorry, Quinton. I know you’re only doing this because you’re worried about my health.”
Too bad, Sam was the sixth among the siblings! Other than Peter, who was younger than him, there was no one else he could ***. The other siblings were older than him and also more capable.
There was nothing he could do about it. Except for his sister, the status of one’s standing in the Fowler family got lower with the age.
“I’m glad you know.”
Quinton diverted his gaze and walked out.
“Quinton, where are we going now?”
“We are going skiing!”
“Are you sure? I just got discharged!”
Sam was dumbfounded.
He had thought that his brother would bring him for a walk.

After all, the weather was quite good today.
It snowed yesterday and the snow had yet to melt.
And the sun was out today.
It would be a good day to visit Fousm.
Instead, Quinton wanted to drag Sam to do such an intense sport.
Quinton glanced at Sam. “Why? Are you afraid? Didn’t you say that you had recovered long ago?”
Sam rolled his eyes. “I’m not afraid, Quinton. Not that I’m bragging, but I’m actually very good at skiing.”
“Get in!”
“Let’s go!”
The only ski resort in Fousm was in the suburbs.
Sam crossed his arms and looked out the window. He stared at the snow covering the roads and the trees. No one knew what he was thinking.
Sam pursed his lips. “Quinton, you didn’t come here just to see me, right?”
Quinton was upfront about it. “Seeing you is just out of convenience. I know that Jane is still in Meridonia and hasn’t returned. I’m here to see Jane.”
Sam was speechless.
Although Sam had more or less guess the answer, it was still disheartening to hear it from Quinton.
They were biological brothers who grew up together. Why was that betrayer of the Fowler family, Jane, so coveted after?
He could not figure it out!
However, he knew that Jane was currently the jewel of the Fowler family.
Sam would be scolded badly if he spoke any more than he should.
Therefore, he wisely chose not to say anything.
He would just sit back and wait for the show to unfold itself.
What exactly did Jane have up her sleeve that made all his brothers in the Fowler family miss her so much?
For Jane, they did not even care about Sam.
“But Quinton, what does finding Jane have to do with us going skiing?”
“I’ve pulled some strings the past few days. Since Jane is still in Meridonia and hasn’t left, there’s a high chance that she’ll visit famous scenic spots.”
“There’s only one ski resort in the suburbs of Fousm. That is the only place to go if you want to ski. I got my friend to keep an eye on and let me know in case Jane bought any tickets there.”
As an internationally famous genius composer, Quinton had many connections with many powerful figures.
Among them was the mayor of Fousm of Meridonia.
Through this channel, Quinton set his eyes on this ski resort.
Jane would definitely come here to ski since she was still in Fousm.
And finally, this was the day.
Sam seemed to have thought of something. He asked in shock. “So you got me discharged today because you knew Jane was going skiing and not because you were worried about my health?”
Quinton replied, “Both.”
Sam was speechless again..
His status in the Fowler family had dropped again.
At the ski resort.
Jane had just finished putting on her attire and arrived at the snowfield with Josh. She bathed in the sunlight and stretched comfortably.
“Phew, this is my first time skiing in Fousm. Unfortunately, Yale still can’t come.”
They had originally agreed to go skiing together on this day.
However, No. 7 Scientific Research Organization suddenly sent an urgent message last night.
The team members had found a serious bug in the self-made lithography machine during one of the experiments.
No one except Yale could resolve it.
Technical guidance from Yale’s remote videos was far from enough.
Hence, he had to rush back to the No. 7 Scientific Research Organization.
Yale wanted to stay with Jane badly.
However, considering the situation, he had to put aside his personal emotions for the sake of the country. After Jane learned about it, she quickly got Yale and the others on a private plane back to Crucsia.
After the photolithography machine was successfully developed, he could have fun however he wanted.
