ffrey had been apprehended, and news of his capture spurred utu’s military and police into action.
Now, all involved were captives within the country, stranded and unable to return to Solana City, much less accompany Jeffrey back.
No extradition treaty existed between Cyrris and Tsulu. Even if Cyrus were to plead with his superiors in Solana City, he wouldn’t be able to secure assistance from the Cyrris police force.
The situation had become even more intricate.
Since they could not return to Solana City immediately, Alyssa was no longer in a rush. After leaving Shelland Island, she drove straight to the hospital.
She planned to watch after Jeremy day and night.
Axel was in one vehicle, along with Jeffrey, who was tied up. Alyssa and Jonah were in the other vehicle.
Alyssa clutched Jonah’s hand tightly throughout their journey, and he gently placed her icy hand against his warm chest. His worried expression never wavered as he kept a close eye on her.
The color had drained from Alyssa’s face, a manifestation of her overwhelming anxiety.
He could feel that her palm was damp with cold sweat. It was as if he was holding a block of ice. No matter how he tried, he could not warm her hand up.
He called out to her softly, “Lyse.”
She looked up, her eyes swollen and red, still brimming with tears.
She stared at him blankly.
She was still alive.
Yet, it felt as if Alyssa’s soul had gone over to Jeremy’s side. All that was left was a beautiful outer shell.
Jonah let out a quiet sigh. He unbuttoned one of his shirt buttons and reached into his collar. He retrieved a silver cross, which he wore at all times.
“Give this to Jeremy when he wakes up.”
He placed the chain into Alyssa’s palm and closed her fingers around
“Jonah, this… This is…” she stammered in surprise, her eyes reflecting a sense of astonishment.
“This chain isn’t worth much, but it holds significant meaning to me. I’ve been wearing it for over ten years. Mysterious as it may seem, it has protected me all these years. Whenever I find myself in danger or get into big trouble, it has helped me get out of those situations.”
Jonah smiled bitterly, but he had a burning determination in his eyes at the same time.
He continued, “Now that it has come to this, there is nothing else that I can do. It is all up to God. We just have to wait and see if Jeremy is strong enough to get through this. As for me, I can only pray for him. I’ll place my hope in God. I hope you won’t laugh at me, Lyse.”
Alyssa sniffled. Unable to hold back her tears, she started crying again, burying her head into Jonah’s arms and sobbing like a devastated child.
“Jonah, thank you. Thanks…”
“Don’t be silly. I’ll be angry if you don’t stop thanking me,” Jonah
Mixed feelings welled up in Alyssa’s heart, and she bawled her eyes out.
“Lyse, once Jeremy regains consciousness, you should treat him well. At the very least, stop making things difficult for him. Don’t be mad at him anymore.”
Jonah gently stroked the top of her head. He sighed, “He has really tried his best for you. I don’t think I could have done the same as he did if it were me.”
Once again, the scene when Jeremy rushed to her and shielded her from the arrow flashed across her eyes.
“Lyse, don’t cry…”
She closed her eyes tight, but tears continued streaming down her face.
The Taylor family arrived at the hospital and entered the underground parking lot.
When they arrived, Landon was already there, waiting for them.
The moment Alyssa got out of the car, she ran toward him with an anxious and worried look in her eyes. “How is Jeremy?” she asked.
Landon explained, “He’s in the emergency room. His surgeon is someone you know.”
“Someone I know… Is it Julien?” She was sharp and figured it out in a heartbeat.
Then, she turned back to look at Jonah.
Jonah looked back at her calmly. Simply from the look in his eyes,
“Yeah. He has been in surgery for about three hours.”
Landon was very concerned. He felt compelled to object.
“Lyse, I heard that Dr. Lovelace is a relative of Mrs. Taylor. Is he reliable? He looked so goofy. It’s like as if he is here to play. Why does he look so unreliable?
“Would it be better if you were to take over in person? You were the one who operated on Jeremy’s brain last time, weren’t you?”
Alyssa was at a loss for words.
“Play? I’ll show him what play is.”
Axel put his hand by the car window with a cigarette between his fingers. He couldn’t help but mock, “He’s a fop. Seems like the Harper family failed to teach you about that.”
“Good on you for knowing what it means, smarty pants,” Landon scoffed in response.
Landon simply pouted and mumbled to himself because he was
Alyssa’s brother. He would’ve lashed out a long time ago if it were. someone else.
“In Mosgravia, Dr. Lovelace’s medical capabilities are comparable with Dr. Burton’s.”
Jonah furrowed his brows slightly. He then asked in a voice cold enough to make anyone shiver, “You are also from a wealthy and reputable family, Mr. Landon. You should be able to comprehend that there is always someone better than you out there, right?”
Alyssa and Axel were rendered speechless.
Jonah’s tone suggested he was upset.
Was he standing up for Julien?
Landon was Cornelius’ eldest grandchild. He grew up with a silver spoon in his mouth. He never had to answer to anyone.
However, even he, who wasn’t sensitive to these things, could sense the trace of anger in Jonah’s cold gaze.
He let out an awkward laugh. “I-I-I’m just asking. I’m sure Mr. Jonah invited a miracle doctor. I worried for nothing.”
“Mr. Landon, Dr. Lovelace is a better doctor than me. Don’t worry. The operation is in good hands.”
Alyssa choked slightly as she said it. Her eyes reddened. “Once Jeremy gets over this, I still have to rely on Dr. Lovelace for his care.
“He is an expert in neurology. He should know what to do with Jeremy’s physical complications.”
Upon reaching the end of her statement, her tone softened, and her eyes betrayed a sense of guilt.
Landon’s breath quickened.
He was careless with words, so he didn’t dare to comfort her. He was worried he would upset her by saying all the wrong things, consequently making things worse.
