“Okay. Her family wille to pick her up. Before that, you have to protect her well.” “Does her family


    have such great influence that even you have to listen and obey them?”


    “Anyway, your most important task now is to protect her. Put everything else aside. She is the top


    priority and she cannot be harmed.” The person on the other end hung up after that.


    Jasper turned back to look at the girl on the couch. He had underestimated the capabilities of her


    family. He narrowed his eyes and thought for a moment, Her family name is Presgrave. Soon, a family


    name popped up in his mind. Could she be from that family? The connections of that family were


    indeed strong.


    “What’s your father’s name?”


    “My father’s name is Elliot Presgrave,” Willow answered. Jasper breathed a sigh of relief. He was


    unsure if he was relieved or speechless. In any case, protecting her from harm had been the best


    decision he had made in a while from the moment heid eyes on her until now.


    “Do you know my father?” Willow asked curiously. He replied calmly, “I don’t know him.” He didn’t have


    the opportunity to get to know her father. “Who was on the phone just now?”

    “My superior.” Since she realized that he wasn’t fond of chatting, she let her imagination run wild. “Did


    your boss tell you to protect me well and that my father will send someone to pick me up, or will he


    come himself instead?”


    Jasper sat down, and at that moment, Willow suddenly felt difort in her stomach. She then turned


    to the nearby trash bin and vomited. He immediately walked over and asked in a voice deep with


    concern, “What’s wrong with you?”


    “Please give me a ss of water.” She was feeling unwell. He quickly fetched a bottle of water and


    handed it to her. After drinking the water, she felt slightly better. Then, she looked at the pieces of bread


    she had eaten, picked one up, and felt like crying. They were expired.


    Jasper looked at her expression and found it somewhat amusing. He sat down and asked, “Is there


    anything else bothering you?” Willow shook her head, but she felt a bit aggrieved. “I’m a bit hungry.”


    He remembered his uncle’s words about taking good care of this youngdy. The supplies in the safe


    house might not be regrly updated. He nced at the time and said, ‘I’ll go out and buy something


    for you now.”


    She looked at his wound and said, “No, you’re injured. You can’t go out recklessly. I can endure my


    hunger.” Jasper got up and walked toward a room. Soon, he changed into a new set of clothes, came


    out, and was ready to go out.


    “Don’t go, Jasper. It’s dangerous outside. What if they capture you?” Willow couldn’t help but worry. His


    life was more important than her empty stomach! However, he said to her, “Don’t leave this room. I’ll go


    out and buy some things.”


    Willow couldn’t stop him from leaving, so she could only watch as he left. This man had just finished


    tending to his wound, and it would be best if he didn’t encounter those bad guys.


    She sat on the couch, her heart filled with worry for Jasper. This worry made her sigh, prop her chin up,


    and asionally nce out the window.


    An hour had passed, and finally, there was movement at the door. She stood up and hid in the kitchen


    until she saw Jasper returning with tworge bags of food before she let out a sigh of relief and


    approached to take the bags.


    Her first instinct was not to see what food there was. Instead, she rushed forward and pulled at the


    man’s clothes to check his wound in a moment of impulse. Jasper stiffened for a moment as he saw


    Willow grabbing his T-shirt and staring at his wound.


    “Luckily it’s not bleeding or torn.” She breathed a sigh of relief and was unaware that her actions had


    caused a certain man’s gaze to narrow in nervousness. She turned her head and caught a whiff of a


    pleasant aroma. To her surprise, this man had. bought desserts and coffee for her..


    “Did you buy these for me?” Willow asked happily. “Yeah!” Jasper said as he picked up a bottle of


    mineral water, sat on the couch, and started drinking it.


    She brought the desserts and coffee over as well and asked, “Is it safe outside?”
