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
Was it purely because they didn’t want to break the law?Sage observed Jace quietly. She looked at his crew cut and cold face, thinking that he looked way better when he was not being all emotional with her about their past relationship.Jace's assumption was correct, but she had no intention of explaining the details to him.Sage said, "You're right that Jekyll must be kept alive for now. As for why, I have no intention of telling you. Please just leave me and stay out of my business."Jace frowned slightly upon hearing that. "No can do." Sage scoffed, "That's because you have no idea how much bullsh*t I have on my shoulders."If he knew, he would have been so terrified, and he would have fled far away.Love was never unconditional.Sage had witnessed countless couples who had sworn to 'love unconditionally', 'forever and always', but when trouble came knocking, they would always prioritize themselves over their partners.They would reconsider how much their partners were wo
Sage fiddled with the 'easy kneeling pads' in her hands and chuckled awkwardly."Thank her for me, but will Tim allow me to use this?"Everyone raised their heads upon hearing that question, and they looked defeated.Luther said, "I wouldn't dare use it even if you asked me to. If Tim found that I wore knee pads while I was being punished to kneel, he would have me kneel for a whole year."Nigel replied, "Heh! You're too naive. One year? He'd probably have you kneel for the rest of your life until you break your legs."Suddenly, Luther quivered.He felt grateful that he had only gotten some scolding and had his car confiscated. Tim had surely gone easy on him.Sage cowardly stuffed the knee pads back into Seth's hands. "I'd better not wear them then."Sage did not want to risk pissing her eldest brother off any further. The last thing she wanted when she arrived at Yathein was to receive more punishments.Kane was in a rotten mood and said agitatedly, "Why not? You were asked
