Were they even close?Jekyll did not find this outrageous at all. He smirked and suggested, "I think I'm better than your ex-husband anyway. I've sharpened my skills from experiences."A sickening taste swelled up in her stomach. Sage resisted the urge to vomit and slammed on the accelerator.Jekyll looked at the rapidly passing scenery and narrowed his eyes. "You're just a woman. How are you so brave? Are you not afraid of death?""How can anyone not be afraid of death?"Sage held the steering wheel and speeded quickly. She drove fast but not steady. She almost hit the railing several times. If she could not brake in time, the whole car would fall just like this.Jekyll had never been on a roller coaster before, but he somehow felt like he was on top of one.Sage continued, "But I'm afraid of dying meaninglessly."Sage's voice was icy. "My parents, for example, were killed on the elevated highway like these. Their bodies were burnt, and they died, leaving no corpse behind."T
Sage's head hurt badly. The world seemed to blur, and she could barely keep her eyes open.She could vaguely hear Jekyll's low and helpless voice sounding in her ears. "You're such a desperate woman."After that, countless headlights came near. Many people rushed toward them. She vaguely heard a familiar voice calling out to her, "Sage, Sage…"Someone seemed to have picked her up, and she fell into a very warm embrace.She was so tired, so tired. She tried to love something with all she had. She tried to live her life well. She tried to protect her family… but she still could not find her parents.When Sage woke up again, she opened her eyes and smelled the smell of disinfectant."She's awake! She's finally awake!"A group of people surrounded the bed.Sage felt a little dizzy and closed her eyes. When she opened them again, she saw Jace so close to her.She stared at him and suddenly muttered, "Huh? Your hair is longer?"There was only silence.Jace was half leaning against
Seth pointed outside. "Tim is still lecturing him.""He's not done lecturing him yet?"Sage pursed her lips. "Luther is so miserable." Nigel gave her a look. "And you dare to laugh at him. Who made him miserable?"Sage chuckled guiltily."You better be ready."Nigel gave her a glass of water and warned, "When Tim is done lecturing Luther, it'll be your turn next."Having too many brothers was also a problem.When she thought about Tim's power, she suddenly lost appetite again.Not long after, Luther returned with a depressed look. His face paled, his nose red, and his eyes were red like a rabbit. Clearly, he was crying.When he came in, Kane, Seth, Nigel, and Sage all looked up at him.Luther sniffled and handed the phone to Sage. "Tim wants to talk to you."Sage fell silent. She looked at the phone and involuntarily wanted to escape. She shook her head and waved at Luther. The phone in Luther's hand was like a bomb to her. She refused to answer it.However, Tim seemed to
Jace sat on the bench outside the ward. He was awake all night. The blue under-eye bag was showing on his face.Yoel just had a phone call with his father. After a long explanation of the series of questions, he could finally retreat.He strode over to Jace. "Why are you sitting outside? Didn't you bring the lunchboxes to eat with Sage?"Jace's voice was raspy. "I'm not hungry."Yoel glanced into the ward and understood. He snorted, "Why are you not hungry? Did they kick you out?""No." Jace grimaced, "I'll make the air tense inside.""Right. Looking at you, I don't think Sage's brothers can eat."Yoel laughed at his friend's misery from the bottom of his heart. As he sat down on one side of the bench, Jace suddenly got up without warning. Yoel almost tumbled over with the bench."Holy cr*p." Yoel steadied himself with a grimace, then glared at Jace. "You're too vengeful!"Jace sat down again with a stern face.Yoel looked at his grim face. He made Jace upset, so he had to co
Jekyll was arrested by the police for the earlier bombing and kidnapping case, in which Sage was the injured party. Sean represented Sage as her lawyer. He made a trip to the police station for her.As an internationally wanted fugitive, Jekyll's arrest was a big deal. However, Sean did not look optimistic. He told Sage, "Jekyll's case is far more complicated than we think."Sage's eyebrows twitched. She suddenly had a bad feeling.Sean explained that Jekyll was wanted by Interpol as a Class A criminal. He might have committed crimes here, but there were many forces behind him. For a felon like him, no matter which Interpol member or non-member countries caught him, he should be handed over to the country with jurisdiction as required. He could not be executed without permission.Sage frowned, hearing Sean's explanation. "You mean Jekyll can't be executed here? He must return to his home country?"Sean nodded. "That's right.""What?"Luther jumped in anger. "Then Sage hurt her
"Huh?"Everyone was shocked.Laura almost choked and hurriedly rephrased her sentence, "No, it's a change of heart! Now, I don't hit people as much."Sage chuckled, "You don't fight ordinary people, do you? Brothers, be careful. Laura works for the special force. She's a female machine gunner and one of the people who rescued me in the jungle operation."Laura was a female machine gunner in the special force and saved Sage's life before! When Sage mentioned these points, it was awe-inspiring and immediately captured all their hearts."Laura, right? Come and have a seat. Don't just stand there."Nigel was the first to send a friendly signal.Kane hissed, "How dare you call her Laura?"Nigel was confused. "Huh? What else can I call her?"He observed the look on Kane's face and tried seriously, "Should I call her Tyrant? Or, how about calling her just Mrs. Hudson?"Seth smiled warmly. "I think it's okay."Luther also echoed, "I agree!"Kane fell silent and went beet red. No on
No, not just a little. He was extremely nervous!"Kane."Laura was also anxious, but she had always been straightforward. She was so used to being with men in the military that she would just say anything on her mind.She mustered her courage and looked up at Kane. Her heart thudded loudly inside her chest at his handsome face and deep gaze."I think you're pretty good-looking."Kane was stunned. "You really think so?"Laura smirked and said, "Yes! I don't mind having a son like you."Kane felt his brain buzzing.'I wanted you as my wife, but you see me as your son?'Kane's lips twitched. He was about to lash out at her when Laura blurted, "You're handsome, and I like you very much. Let's date!"Kane was confused and at a loss for words at first, but he was stunned when he realized that he had been confessed to!The situation had gone entirely out of Kane's control. He heard white noise, and he stood frozen in place for a long time before he could react.Jace sat on the ben
Jace sat on the chair. His eyes never left Sage's forehead.Her forehead was still wrapped in gauze. Nigel was the one who bandaged it for her, and he even cut out the shape of a rabbit and pasted it on her forehead. It was adorable.If only the skin behind the bandage was not a wound.Sage ignored his worried gaze and asked, "Have you been tracking Jekyll?"That he could arrive so quickly was surely not a coincidence. Sage found from Laura that Jace had been tracking Jekyll's whereabouts.Not only did Jace request help from his ex-comrades for help, he even spent a massive amount on hiring a group of special forces.After the car accident, Sage was unconscious and had no idea what had happened at the scene.She was relieved when she found out that Jekyll had been arrested.Sage thought it was her men who caught him, but Luther told her that when they arrived, it was chaos.Even though Sage had her own men, Jekyll had his men too. Both parties got physical at the scene.At th
