"I''m fine, really," ude said as he gently removed her hand from his arm. "How have you and Jacob


    been doingtely? Honestly, I hope Jacob keeps a close watch on you because of your impulsiveness.


    I wouldn''t want you to identally say something inappropriate to the media."


    "I''ll keep an eye on her, Mr. ude," Jacob reassured.

    ude smiled at him. "You''re probably the only one who can, I''m afraid."


    "Is there anything else you need help with?" Jacob asked, making his loyalty and position clear to


    anyone paying attention.


    ude gave him a long, thoughtful look. Jacob met his gaze earnestly.


    "Just take care of Sophie for me," ude finally said with a smile. "You don''t have to worry about me."


    "Well, I guess that''s true. Sophie and I feel better knowing you''re alright," Jacob responded sincerely.


    "You should go home with him," ude told Sophie.


    After hearing that ude was okay, Sophie was ready to leave, but she feltpelled to add, "You


    know, everything that happened is in the past. We all hope it doesn''t bother you anymore," she said.


    "Please. We were all so worried about you."


    ude patted her head. "You''ve really grown up. But you should go home with Jacob. I''m going to stay


    here for a bit longer."


    Sophie looked around. The ce looked like an old shack. After thinking it over, she said, "Alright. We''ll


    be waiting for you at home."


    They talked a bit more until Sophie felt reassured about his mental state. Just as she was about to


    leave, she turned back and said, "I know you called Olivia."


    Jacob''s eyes flickered briefly. He watched ude, who hadn''t noticed his look. After a pause, ude


    admitted, "Yes, I did. I told her to take care."


    Sophie was about to speak again when Lh interrupted, "Let''s go for a walk, Ms. Sophie. The air is


    great outside."


    Sophie agreed and they left. Jacob started to follow, but ude stopped him. "Jacob, please stay. I''d


    like to talk to you."


    Jacob turned to ude. Sophie also looked back, hopeful that this was a sign of ude mentoring


    Jacob.


    The fact that he was told to sta"


    meant this was a good start. She then walked away, leaving them alone.


    "I understand what you''re trying to say, Jacob," ude started.


    Jacob bowed his head slightly. "I''m here to help."


    "I know. You''re smart, and I can tell you''ll be one of us," ude remarked.


    "I''m honored to hear that."


    "I heard Olivia was your ex."

    ude nodded, satisfied. "That''s good to hear. I trust you''ll look after Sophie well. I''d prefer it if you

    Jacob understood the implication. He kept his humble expression and said, "Understood."


    ude smiled as he sipped his tea. "Good."


    Meanwhile, Sophie walked around outside the monastery, waiting for Jacob. She kept ncing toward


    the gate, watching for his return.
