Jeremy clasped her hand and caressed it, saying, “Inigo Montoye is in Solana City. I need to find him as soon as I can. I don’t want further trouble.
“Oh, there’s Jeffrey Snyder as well. We need to interrogate him and make him rat out Sophia. My health is not the priority in front of all these missions.”
Although Jeremy and Alyssa did not display much physical affection, their souls seemed to be one.
She complained, “But you can’t push yourself too hard! Health is everything. Why would you care about all that stuff? Do you know how worri-“
Did he know how worried she would be?
Jeremy, feeling bitter, held on tighter to her hand. He understood her unspoken words.
Jeremy chimed in with concern, “Jeremy, you’ll have ample chance to take revenge. Do focus on your recovery for now.”
Smiling gratefully, Jeremy replied, “Thank you for your concern, Mr. President. And thanks for donating your blood. I owe you a huge favor. there, and I’ll be sure to repay your kindness one day.”
“Just chill! We’re family now. Just see me as your brother-in-law,”
Jeremy spoke freely, his easygoing behavior around his family a stark contrast to his demeanor in the Kontina political scene.
Miley gently poked Jeremy, who was oblivious to the situation. Still, Jeremy agreed with Jeremy and addressed him, “As you say, my brother-in-law
Alysse promptly blushed as she pressed her lips Axel glared at Jeremy and grumbled, “Don’t get carded away”
Jonah calmly suggested, Jeremy you may leave the hospital if you wish, but letting the Walsh’s learn about your health is not wise I’ve arranged for you to stay in a VIP room at the Taylor General Hospital. It’s much nicer and private over there
“Lyse, you shouldn’t worry too much. The trip from Tsulu to Solana
City is only five hours, and the private jet comes with first-aid equipment. It will be fine.”
Julien proudly lifted his chin. “That’s right! What’s there to worry about with a famous doctor like me on board?”
Landon teased, “You will never beat Lyse in terms of fame.”
Frowning, Julien wondered, “What’s that supposed to mean?”
“She’s Dr. Burton. Did you not know?”
Following the revelation, Julien stared agape at Alyssa, who seemed unfazed. He turned to the others and realized they did not react to the news at all.
Was he the only one oblivious to Alyssa’s identity? Had he been showing off in front of the true master without knowing it?
Freezing up, he stiffly turned his back to the others and held the wall, his head hung low. Landon scratched his head, puzzled. “What’s wrong with him?”
Axel crossed his arms on his chest, replying, “No idea. I guess he’s in despair because Lyse is too great of a doctor.”
The next day, Alyssa, Jeremy, and the others took a private jet back to Solana City. Only Jeremy and Miley opted out because they had to return to Kontina as soon as possible.
During Jeremy’s stay in Tsulu, his secretary bombarded him with calls due to the mounting workload awaiting his attention. Jeremy and position of power, time was a luxury
Alyssa was concerned for the couple because they traveled light. without much security. Therefore, she requested that Axel see them home for safety.
Julien was the only one who napped on the plane because he was not used to waking up early. The other passengers gathered with serious looks on their faces.
“Jeremy, Jonah said you had a hunch about who Inigo Montoye worked for. Who is it?” Alyssa finally blurted out after being tortured by the mystery.
Jonah and Landon stared expectantly at Jeremy.
Jeremy knitted his brows and cast a serious look at Alyssa. Hel wondered, “Would you believe me if I told you the truth? I’m worried you might refuse to accept my answer.”
The look in her eyes deepened. She asked, “Is it Jameson?”
Jonah and Landon appeared taken aback by her wild guess. Jas eyes wavered as he gasped. “How did you know?”
“Miley and Jeremy had a long talk with me when you were in a com They, too, suspected that it was Jameson who colluded with Inigo Montoye. After all, Jameson was frequently in touch with the Tsulian forces when he was staying in Kontina.” After that, Alyssa continued telling them about Jeremy and Miley’s struggles over the years.
“Damn it! So, it was that bastard’s doing. I knew it. He has a villain-like face,” Landon hissed.
Alyssa, sick in the stomach, clenched her fists and questioned, “I understand why Jameson would want to harm Jeremy, but why Jonah? Jonah has never crossed him.”
“It appears like that on the surface, but I have a history with him,” Jonah answered with a smirk. “I clashed with him a few times in private, but it was mostly verbal arguments, nothing physical.”
Astonishment flashed across Alyssa’s face. She had no idea Jonah. had a fallout with Jameson.
Jonah explained, “I found out early on that Jameson had resorted to underhanded tactics to pursue you. He did that out of his love for you, but I found it repulsive. That’s why I strongly oppose any relationship between you and him, and I warned him many times to stay away from you.”
Jeremy’s heart sank. After multiple exchanges with Jameson, he gained a better understanding of Jameson’s character than Alyssa.
Unlike Alyssa, he had no lingering sentiment for Jameson from. childhood. He knew Jameson was a vindictive man and a ruthless. one at that. In other words, Jameson was petty and extreme in his revenge.
“A relationship devoid of integrity is inherently meaningless,” Jonah expressed, showing his concern for Alyssa. “The idea of you with Jameson filled me with worry because he has no principles and would do anything to get his way.
“Who knows if he’d do the same to you? Lyse, you’re my beloved sister. I cannot risk letting you date a problematic man.”
Alyssa teared up at Jonah’s genuine brotherly love for her. “Jonah.
He gently stroked her hair and turned to address Jeremy, “Mr. Walsh, why didn’t you tell me it was Jameson Schmidt’s doing when we were on Shelland Island? If you had done so, we could have found a way to exploit his weakness.”
With a long sigh, Jeremy explained bitterly, “I might despise Jameson, but I cannot point a finger at him without solid evidence. Speculation remains just that-a speculation.”
His reply stirred up some inexplicable emotions in Jonah, who developed a newfound respect for Jeremy’s morals. This was the reason he always believed Jeremy was a better man than Jameson, despite Jameson’s best efforts to win Alyssa over.
Jameson might appear gentlemanly and capable on the outside, but he was rotten and evil within. Jeremy might have his faults, but he do pincipicu.
“Besides, Jameson is an important friend of Alyssa’s,” Jeremy added. without delving further.
Feeling pained, Alyssa wondered, “Did you keep your suspicions to yourself because you didn’t want to upset me?”
“Yeah,” Jeremy admitted with a bashful smile. “I might be too much of a coward. I had planned to investigate him after leaving Shelland Island, but I nearly lost my life there. It’s all my fault for being reckless.
He acted humbly in front of Alyssa despite his esteemed status as he was scared to upset her, which would be a waste of his previous efforts in winning her favor.
“You’re a fool, Jeremy,” Alyssa muttered.
Alyssa stared at her feet. Her eyes became misty, and her heart. ached. In retrospect, her arguments with Jeremy over Jameson. seemed rather ridiculous.
Fortunately, Jeremy’s love did not waver. Any other men would have. given up on her out of anger.
The private jet traveled back to Solana City on a smooth journey. In the silent cabin, Landon had fallen asleep due to fatigue.
Alyssa and Jeremy sat side-by-side, leaning against each other. He pinched her soft and warm hand, feeling an electric charge passing through his body.
All of a sudden, he furrowed his brows as he noticed something odd with the joint of her pinky finger.
He asked, “Lyse, what’s wrong with your pinky finger? Was it injured
She held her breath and quivered in his embrace. Confused by her response, he panicked, wondering, “What’s the problem, Lyse?”
Meanwhile, Alyssa contemplated if she should tell him the truth. She wondered if she should tell him that she was that woman who fought. off the enemies with him. Should she also let him know that she lost functionality in a finger because she had dragged his severely injured. body back to the barracks?
After a brief internal struggle, Alyssa decided to keep it a secret.
Right now, Jeremy was filled with guilt and remorse. Of course, she was glad that he showed remorse for what he had done to her in the past, but she did not want him to risk his life once more to make amends.
All she wanted was for him to light up her life. The last thing she wanted was to burden him with more guilt. This was her subtle way of expressing her love.
Jeremy’s chest tightened when he noticed that she had turned white. Holding her shoulders, he inquired, “Lyse, are you okay?”
“I’m fine.” She beamed at him. “I injured my finger climbing a tree as a kid. It’s not a big deal and doesn’t affect my life at all.”
Nevertheless, Jeremy felt sympathetic toward her and gently held her pinky finger. “Why didn’t any of your brothers take better care of you?”
“They did, but I was a troublemaker who refused to listen,” she replied with a pout.
He couldn’t resist giving her a peck on the lips as she was tool adorable. He promised, “You don’t have to trouble your brothers anymore now that I’m with you. I’ll take care of you and protect you.”
She blushed. He swallowed hard at her shy response as desire stirred in him.
