Chapter 789


    He felt his world break apart the moment Angeline hit the floor. It was as if the world was ending


    and he was living on borrowed time. That was the first time he had ever tasted fear.


    For that short second, his brain ran wild, fleeting from one thought to another. He even prayed to


    God and was willing to venture into the nine circles of Hell if it meant that she would make it out of


    this alive.


    He had never expected such a fearless evildoer as he t o finally be afraid of something.


    Carson staggered into the house after the effects of the anesthetic wore off. He found himself


    slightly stunned at the sight of the young master sitting so despondently.


    "Jay Ares and Finn Gagher are rather strong, Young Master. They’re not to be underestimated."


    "I know." Having fought with Finn, Cole had concluded that it would be difficult to crown a winner


    within a hundred moves should the two fight with their bare fists.


    Carson consoled, saying, "It''s alright, Young Master. It’s hardly that we fight people empty-handed


    in our line of business. With our lethal weapons, even 100 Jay Areses would still be no match for


    us."


    Cole lifted his gaze and replied weakly, "It''s over for m


    e, Carson. I''m screwed."


    Carson grew nervous. "We''ve sent people out to look for your Aunt Chloe everywhere, Young


    Master. The people left to watch over the vi are castaways and inferior subordinates. We don’t


    have to be ashamed about losing to Jay Ares."


    Cole suddenly spoke. "Master said that the most detrimental thing to happen in our line of work is to


    fall in love. What I feel for Angeline Severe is no longer within my control."


    Carson was struck. This was indeed a meddlesome turn of events.


    However, he could not bring himself to believe it either. The young master had gone through routine


    training, not unlike the taming of lions in cages, ever since he was a child. It was difficult to imagine


    the young master who was disgusted by everyone to one day act like amon person who was


    willing to give their life to cherish the woman they loved.


    Carson responded, "Young Master, I believe Teacher''s words were that we''re allowed to find a


    woman to satisfy our physical needs. However, we must be able t o choose ourselves without


    hesitation when faced with the decision of their life or ours. Only then can w e be the unfettered


    evildoers."


    Cole nodded, desperation swimming in his eyes.


    "I made a deal with God when Angeline got hurt. I’d go through the nine circles of Hell if it means


    that she


    makes it out of this alive.”


    Carson gaped in shock.


    The young master''s infatuation with Angeline Severe had indeed strayed far from the guidelines of


    their work.


    Jay carried aatose Angeline back to Garden Of A Diary. In a quick moment, a doctor made


    their way over to give Angeline a full body check-up and concluded that Angeline suffered damage


    to her ribs and lungs.


    To treat Angeline, Jay turned the first floor of Garden 0 f A Diary into a hospital.


    He took the role of a guard on 24-hour duty.


    His thoughts ran wilder than Cole Yorks.


    He med himself greatly as he watched Angeline suffer through so much pain in the name of love.


    He wanted nothing more than to lock her by his side so that he could protect her without any


    distance between the two of them.


    Although the idea of the Ares family''s treacherous secrets quickly banished such thoughts away. He


    was reminded of his mother... How Chloe Yorks had lived her life locked away in the Underground


    Pce, her muscles suffering from atrophy as she lived every day in the dark.


    He was reminded of Grandfather’s elite guards within the walls of Chateau de Selene.


    He was reminded of Angeline''s car crash, of her falling off a building...


    The fear he felt was unparalleled.


    Caressing the side of Angeline''s face, his attractive eyes glistened with tears.

    His cold heart hadpletely thawed.


    "What should I do with you, Angeline? What more must I do to keep you safe?


    "Please... stop throwing a tantrum with me, okay? Just give me some time. Let me clear your path


    of obstacles. Grand Asia and Imperial Capital will be yours. I''ll give you the world should I be


    fortunate enough to survive this, I promise. But on the off chance ... that your grandfather''s words


    turn into sad reality... I need you to be strong and I need you to live well.


    That is my only dying wish."


    Three dayster, Angeline''s consciousness finally cleared and she woke.


    Sitting in front of her and watching her silently was Jay.
