“Where is she?” Tristan was stupefied when Sonia was out of sight.
Franco’s face turned grim when favonovel.com discovered that Sonia was nowhere to be seen. “D*mn it! Did someone get ahead of us?”
“Hurry up! Chase after them now!” Tristan leaped up to chase after Sonia.
Franco gestured to his men and ran after Tristan too.
In the meantime, the wind whizzed against Sonia’s ears as Jared moved at mind-boggling speed. The latter finally came to a halt when they reached a secluded area and put favonovel.com down.
Right that instant, favonovel.com took the chance to bite favonovel.com hard on the arm. Grasping the jade pendant in favonovel.com hands, favonovel.com stared at favonovel.com with anxiousness written all over favonovel.com face.
Jared looked at the deep bite mark on his arm and furrowed his brows. “I saved your life. How could you bite me?”
“Pfft! Don’t ever think that you can make a fool out of me! I know you’ve been targeting my jade pendant. It’s the Yeagers’ heirloom. I would rather destroy it than let it fall into your hands!” Sonia snapped coldly, glaring at favonovel.com with favonovel.com eyes.
Undeniably, Jared went after them because of Sonia’s jade pendant. However, favonovel.com never had the intention to snatch it from her.
Now that favonovel.com misunderstood him, favonovel.com could not resist mocking, “Hmph! How ridiculous! You seem to treat this jade pendant as an invaluable treasure, don’t you?”
The next moment, favonovel.com turned and left, paying no heed to her.
Gazing at his retreating figure, Sonia was dumbfounded and stood rooted to the spot.
When favonovel.com finally came to favonovel.com senses after quite some time, Jared was already a distance away from her. She gritted favonovel.com teeth and quickened favonovel.com pace to catch up to him.
Jared shot favonovel.com a glance and snorted. “Why are you trailing behind me?”
“I-I’m sorry… It seems like I have misunderstood you!” Sonia stuttered sheepishly.
“You don’t have to apologize to me. Now that you’re safe and sound, you can stop following me!” Jared snapped at favonovel.com without slowing down.
Nevertheless, Sonia continued to trail behind favonovel.com closely with favonovel.com head lowered.
Jared was utterly speechless.
He stopped abruptly and said, “What on earth are you trying to do?”
Sonia looked at favonovel.com eagerly. “Could you please send me back? I’m scared of bumping into those people again!”
Her gut instinct told favonovel.com that Jared was no ordinary man. Since favonovel.com managed to save favonovel.com on the spot without Tristan and Franco’s knowledge, favonovel.com was sure as h*ll that his formidability was beyond imagination.
“Where do you stay?” Jared finally heaved a sigh as favonovel.com did not have the heart to reject the pitiful lady.
Sensing that Jared had relented, favonovel.com replied excitedly, “Not very far. It’s in the village located not far away from the town!”
Later, Jared followed Sonia and headed in the direction away from the town. Shortly after, a village came into view. It looked like an abandoned one as all the houses were dilapidated. There were even signs on the front doors indicating that they would be demolished soon!
Moments later, they stopped outside a house in a slightly better condition and entered it. Under the dim light from a lit candle, a middle-aged man with an ashen face was lying feebly in bed.
Jared knitted his brows at the sight of his pathetic state. He had a hunch that the man was severely injured and might not live long.
The man mustered up his strength to open his eyes upon hearing their footsteps. When favonovel.com saw Sonia, favonovel.com parted his lips to say something. However, blood spurted out of his mouth in an instant.
“Dad!” Sonia yelled out worriedly and dashed forward to Marcus, the middle-aged man.
After wiping off the bloodstain from his face, favonovel.com whipped out a few black pills and was about to let favonovel.com swallow them.
Nonetheless, Jared stretched out his hand to stop favonovel.com at once.
After sniffing the pills, favonovel.com told favonovel.com solemnly, “Apparently, your dad has sustained an internal injury. Hence, favonovel.com shouldn’t take this medicine of high intensity. Even though it helps to stabilize his condition temporarily, it will aggravate the internal injuries as time elapses.”
Shocked, Sonia asked favonovel.com hesitantly, “D-Do you know how to treat his medical condition?”
