Chapter 1471

Zayne seemed to have realized something and walked to Josie. "Don't be angry, Josie. I've thought things through and it doesn't matter if we don't have children. Instead, I'll just raise you like my own daughter."

Josephine laughed wildly... and her belly full of anger dissipated.

Zayne touched the back of his head and smirked.

A woman's brain was indeed a strange thing. One should never reason with them when they were angry. Using an absurd method to tease them would be the correct option.

Josephine took Zayne's hand and sincerely said, "I know you like children, Zayne. I'll try my best with the doctor's treatment. If we're unable to conceive at the end, let's go to the orphanage to adopt a child." Zayne replied candidly, "We'll go according to your plan."

Time went by calmly in the mountains.

With such rare leisure time, Angeline took out some yarn from the bedroom. She said with a smile on her face, "Sis Shirley's belly is starting to show, so I have to quickly prepare a couple of things for her. The baby

will need a small sweater and small bedding... Also, we'll need to prepare those hospital bags for labor in advance to avoid chaos when the baby is born."

Angeline threw the yarn over to Zayne and Jay. "You two idlers help me untangle the yarn." 1

Zayne reluctantly muttered, "You can buy ready-made baby clothes. If you ask the crown prince to untangle yarn for you, isn't this what you call a waste of natural resources?"

Angeline replied, "A hand-made item is not the same as those store-bought ones."

Zayne teased, saying, "Of course not. The ones you buy will look good, are of great quality, and saves time and effort. As for your little sweater... It's still unknown whether or not it can be worn." Angeline retorted, "Are you looking down on me? Baby Robbie and Baby Zetty wore a lot of sweaters that I knitted when they were younger..."

Josephine felt inspired and felt that she should give her future little nephew some warm and commemorative gifts as well.

Josie said, "Zayne dear, Sis Shirley has been nothing but kind to us. We should do like Sis Angeline and prepare gifts that would make Sis Shirley happy and feel moved by it."

Zayne looked at Josephine somewhat fearfully. "Then, what are you planning to make?"

Josie said, "I'll also knit a sweater."

Zayne looked at the yarn that had become a tangled mess in his hands and drooped his head. Finally, he took the determination to turn the tide and persuaded Josephine with all his heart. "Josie, listen to me. We shouldn't be doing the same thing as Angeline. Think about it. Things that are the same can't escape from being compared to one another. Angelina's a pro while you're just a novice. If your sweater is a lot worse than hers, wouldn't you feel embarrassed?"

Josephine nodded. "You do make a lot of sense. Then, should we change the gift?

"But, what should we do?" asked Josephine.

"Let me think about it."

Zayne glanced at Jay who had been silent the whole time. Seeing him and Baby Zetty successfully working together to untangle the yarn made him feel envious.

Unexpectedly, Jay walked over to Angeline with the yarn and said, "Angeline, let's not knit a sweater as well."

Angeline asked dumbfoundedly, "Why not?"

Jay stared at her bright and beautiful fawn-like pupils with a distressed expression on his face. "It's not good for your eyes."

Angeline smiled and said, "I'll know when to rest."

Jay was still reluctant. "Children grow up so fast. The little sweater you work on will not last very long, so your labor value's not fully maximized."

Angeline said, "I get what you mean, but..."

Jay looked at her with many grievances. "I can't bear to see you work so hard..."

Angeline was in between laughter and tears. "But I... have to do something for Sis Shirley?"

Jay uttered bitterly, "No one helped you when you

were pregnant."

Angeline was slightly startled...

Looking at Jay's pitiful puppy-like gaze, Angeline silently placed the ball of yarn back into the box...

Chapter 1472

Chapter 1472

She knew better than to knit sweaters in front of these two men in the future.

Suddenly, they heard an earth-shattering thumping sound coming from the gates of Green Plum Town.

Everyone in the living room was caught off guard, and their expressions turned to panic.

"What's happening?" Zayne asked nervously.

"I'll go take a look." Baby Robbie was still somewhat calm.

Baby Robbie jogged all the way to the front. When he opened the door, he saw Judy standing by the door in a panic. She was out of breath when she said, "I need to see Brother Jay." Afterward, she tried to drill herself through the entrance.

Baby Robbie had quick reflexes. His back was leaning against the door frame as he stretched his long leg toward the opposite edge to block Judy's path.

"What's going on?" Baby Robbie was acting unruly at this moment, but he was still smiling warmly.

Judy had no other option but to tell him the truth. She anxiously said, "My father has been poisoned. It's by n

o means one of Doomsday's poison, so I came to ask for Brother Jay's help. Perhaps he'll be able to recognize it since he's quite knowledgeable..."

Baby Robbie knew the seriousness of the matter, so he straightened up his back and said to Judy, "Come on it."

Judy rushed into the living room and said, "You have to save my father, Brother Jay."

Seeing Judy, Jay had instinctively stood up and walked toward the back of the room, avoiding her like the plague.

After hearing her words, his long legs froze in place as he turned his head to ask, "What's wrong with your dad?"

Judy burst into tears. "I don't know. After I came home from Green Plum Town, I realized that there's something wrong with my father. He couldn't speak, so I thought he was sick and gave him some medicine... But my father's complexion turned darker and I realized he was poisoned."

Jay thought of the assassin currently hiding in Doomsday and his heart sank.

He walked outside immediately without saying a word.

Only when he walked out the door did he think of Angeline. He stopped to look at her. Angeline waved a t him, throwing her jealousy out the window. She was being sensible and said, "Go quickly, Jaybie." Jay proceeded to nod.

When he reached the gates and saw Baby Robbie, Jay said, "Come with Daddy."

Baby Robbie looked gloomy and nodded.

Judy wondered why Jay made such an arrangement and glanced at Baby Robbie a few more times.

He was wearing a black trench coat, a white scarf, had soft flowing hair, and a harmless expression. He was clearly merely a cute child.

How could he possibly be helpful in this situation?

The three quickly rushed toward Judy's house. Zechariah was sitting cross-legged on the ground, perhaps attempting to force the poison out. His complexion appeared dark, most possibly due to the blood rushing up. It was different from the color of the flesh on his neck.

Baby Robbie immediately cried aloud when he saw Zechariah, "Ack!"

Jay turned his head to look at Baby Robbie, the surprise in his eyes not dissipating.

"Have you seen this poison before?" Jay asked.

Baby Robbie explained, "I've heard of it, but I've never seen it in person before."

"Tell me more." "They call it the Phiz Poison. The poisoned person's face will gradually turn from green to black. When their face turns black, even the best doctors on the planet wouldn't be able to heal them."

Baby Robbie looked at Zechariah. "The time a victim has from when they first get poisoned to their death is only eight hours. It's the most effective type of cruel torture performed by many gangsters on their enemy. After being poisoned, the body slowly becomes paralyzed and their consciousness will soon be uncontrollable. Very soon, they'll lose their communication abilities and that'll be the best time for torture.

Chapter 1473

Chapter 1473

Judy's initial impression of Baby Robbie was that he was so young and she had contemptuously looked down on him. Now that she knew how much knowledge Baby Robbie had, she showed admiration for

him.

"Do you know the solution for this poison?" Judy asked humbly.

Baby Robbie shook his head. "The composition of this poison is complex, and it's difficult to find all the formulas in a short time. Unless the one who poisoned him is found and we're able to get the antidote, he won't be able to recover."

Jay walked toward Zechariah and tried to communicate with him. "Uncle Zechariah, can you tell us who poisoned you?"

Zechariah stared at him with a pair of bloodshot pupils. The white part of his eyes seemed to be covered with black tree branches. It was a terrifying sight.

Perhaps due to his high martial arts skills or Zechariah's strong willpower, he abruptly started speaking in an unclear manner.

"Jay, take care of Judy for me."

Perhaps he knew that his time was coming to an end, s o entrusting Jay to take care of Judy was his last concern.

Jay hesitated slightly, but he held onto Zechariah's hand and said, "Don't worry, Uncle Zechariah, I'll take care of Judy for you."

Zechariah could no longer utter another word afterward.

Judy went mad and cried out in grief, "Father..."

Jay acted as a patriarch and said to Judy, "This is not the time to be upset, Judy. We must quickly look for the assassin and get the antidote to save your father. Think, where has your father been to?"

Judy was overwhelmed with sadness as she sobbed." Father would usually wander around 108 Stronghold's Hilly Road at this time. He wants to ensure the safety of 108 Stronghold before he heads home so that he can rest with peace of mind."

Jay turned around and walked out. "I'll go take a look around Hilly Road."

Judy said, "Brother Jay, you're not familiar with the terrain around here. I'll go with you." She followed suit after speaking.

Baby Robbie glanced at Zechariah solemnly. There was a touch of imperceptible guilt in his eyes. He suddenly turned around and walked outside.

Baby Robbie did not follow his daddy because he wanted to find the assassin on his own. There was a lot of confusion in his heart about Sis Nine and the truth about the military intelligence division.

Jay hurriedly arrived at Hilly Road and Judy was extremely curious as to why Jay was so familiar with Mount Pearl's topography.

Jay glanced at Judy and said to her rather bluntly," Judy, your dad's critically ill. You should be keeping watch over him. I don't need you here."

The tips of Judy's ears turned crimson. It was a rare opportunity to be alone with the man she was obsessed with, so how could she be willing to miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity?

Judy said with much confidence, "Brother Jay, my father is the most powerful martial artist in Doomsday and he's known as Mount Pearl's patron saint. So if a mere assassin is able to hurt my father, you know how strong the assassin truly is."

She sniffed and said sourly, "I'll be worried if you're all alone."

Jay said with a stern face, "If you stick with me, I have to take care of you. I don't need a piece of baggage by my side."

Jay gritted his teeth and said these words cruelly.

Unexpectedly, Judy smiled back. "Although I may appear young, I have great martial arts skills. My skills are better than the young master, Brother Jay. I'm considered the new generation's leader."

Jay was unable to shake her off, and his handsome face appeared gloomy. He could not help but feel heavy in his heart. If Angeline found out about him sticking so close to Judy, she would get jealous again. "Since you have great combat skills, then you won't need my protection, Judy. Let's go our separate ways to look for the assassin. You go down and I'll head up-"

Judy suddenly ran up to him, holding him tightly with one hand. She said pitifully, "Brother Jay, I don't want to go in a separate direction from you. I know you're afraid that your wife will get jealous..." Jay replied somewhat distastefully, "I'm even more afraid that she won't be jealous."

Then, he abruptly shook Judy's hand off as if he was avoiding a plague and strode forward.

In the dark, a pair of sharp eyes, like souls crawling out of an ancient well, looked at Jay with much resentment and hatred. There was a wicked sneer on their thin lips.

Chapter 1474

Chapter 1474

Green Plum Town.

Angeline stood on the road in front of Green Plum Town, eagerly looking into the distance with an anxious expression. "Why hasn't your daddy returned, Baby Zetty?"

Baby Zetty sighed sorrowfully. "Yeah, it's getting dark out. Doesn't Daddy know that we'll get worried about him?"

Angeline was utterly anxious. "He returned late a couple of days ago and I already gave him a small punishment for it. He should've learned his lesson already. I wonder if he's caught up in something since he's late again today."

Zayne tightened his lips into a fine line. "I don't think he's caught up by something important, but more like someone important."

Zayne was relentless when it came to belittling Jay.

He deliberately raised Judy's position in Jay's heart by several steps.

Women were always suspicious beings, so Angeline was immediately enraged upon hearing it.

"This is no good. I'm heading out to see what's keeping

him." Afterward, Angeline dragged herself toward the mountain.

Josephine and Baby Zetty silently glared at Zayne. "Are you never afraid of the consequences?"

Zayne chuckled dryly...

Josephine added angrily, "Aren't you going to chase after Sis Angeline?"

Baby Zetty smiled wickedly. "Uncle, if Mommy slips or falls somewhere, guess how my daddy will torture you?"

Zayne was shocked to realize that he had committed a catastrophic disaster earlier.

"Come back, Angeline." Zayne hurriedly chased after her.

"I was talking nonsense earlier, Angeline. The most precious person in dearest Master Ares' heart is only you, so let's not be jealous."

Angeline looked upset and said, "I'm not jealous, I'm just worried about him. I heard that the old man Zechariah is Doomsday's patron saint, and if he's in trouble, then Jaybie might be..."

Angeline could not continue her words as tears rolled down her face. They streamed down her face lovingly, and one could only feel pity toward her.

Only the gods knew how anxious she had been since Jay left Green Plum Town. The more time passed, the more her anxiety grew and became severe.

"Zayne, come with me to Judy's house." "Sure." Zayne knew how stubborn Angeline was, so he no longer tried to discourage her.

The two slowly trekked the mountain road. Angeline had weak health while Zayne was a frail person to start with, so they stopped a couple of times before finally reaching Judy's house. Judy's house was already crowded.

Due to Zechariah's virtue and prestige, he was highly respected by the stronghold's villagers. A lot of people came to visit him once they heard the news.

Judy's door was almost impenetrable due to the crowd.

Inside Judy's house, Cole had brought Carson and a few doctors over who were working in full swing.

"Let us through." Zayne looked at the dense crowd, and they were unable to move forward at all. Hence, he came up with a terrible idea. "We can cure Mr. Zechariah's sickness, so let us through."

Instantly, the crowd made way for them to cross.

The villagers were ecstatic. "Uncle Zechariah is saved now!"

Chapter 1475

Chapter 1475

"Uncle Zechariah is saved!" The stronghold's villagers applauded.

Cole and Carson looked at each other, and Carson asked in surprise, "Could it be a genius doctor?"

When Zayne supported Angeline to the guest room, Cole looked a little confused when he saw them. "Do you guys have a way to save Uncle Zechariah?"

Zayne smiled awkwardly. "No. But if I didn't say that, there's no way we could get in."

Carson's face turned gloomy as he muttered in a low voice, "I want to choke him to death."

Cole whispered, "I agree, but you'll have to do it behind Angelina's back."

When Angeline entered the guest room, she did not see Jay nor Baby Robbie. A sense of loss appeared on her face. When she saw Zechariah lying on the couch, her face instantly sank. Angeline was even more frightened and pale.

Cole saw the panic across Angelina's face and knew that she was in poor health, so he did not want her to suffer from shock. Then, he said with a gloomy expression, "Send them out."

Angeline walked toward Cole and asked weakly,"

Where's your cousin?"

Cole felt somewhat suffocated.

He had used his most humble ways to love Angeline silently. He was going mad in his heart, but on the surface, he had to act as if he was turning a blind eye toward her.

This was the only way so that he would not create any more trouble for her.

However, Angeline was always cruel toward him. She had never tried to conceal her concern for Jay in front of him.

"He's with Judy," Cole replied dimly.

Angeline was stunned. Her round and black pupils froze as irritation slowly overflowed from her eyes.

"What are they up to?"

"Tracking the assassin."

Angeline heard this and turned around to walk outside.

Zayne glared at Cole fiercely and gave him a thumbs up. He added sarcastically, "Great job."

Cole realized he had done something wrong and ordered Carson, "Go and protect her."

At Hilly Road.

Jay seemed to be walking side by side with Judy gracefully and calmly. The relationship between the two appeared to be tight-knit from a distance, just like lovers walking in the moonlight. A blissful smile appeared on Judy's face.

She always knew that Jay could not resist her charms. When no one was around, he did not need to disguise his feelings and could allow her to get close to him.

They were so close that their bodies were almost touching one another.

"I knew you liked me back, Brother Jay," Judy said shyly.

Jay was not speaking, but his handsome face was as tight as an ice sculpture. One could not see his expression, let alone his frame of mind at the moment.

Judy plucked up the courage to lean toward him and this made Jay's brows frown slightly. The disgust in his eyes disappeared in a flash.

He had fully focused his attention on the vast darkness at the moment. His keen intuition told him that he was being followed.

This person was roving around him, and their skill was still immeasurable.

In order to protect Judy and not inadvertently alert the enemy, Jay reluctantly acquiesced in allowing her to get near him.

"Jay Ares, you're dead. How dare you go on a date with another woman behind my sister's back?! You're truly

disappointing me right now."

Suddenly, he heard Zayne's voice ringing from behind.

Jay turned around and saw Zayne standing not far from them, looking angrily at him.

Next to him was Angeline.

Angeline wore a fluttering white dress as her black hair flowed with the wind freely. Her face appeared pale as paper, and due to her frail body, she looked like a ghost standing from afar. "Angeline?" Jay's handsome face turned pale in fright.

Chapter 1476

Chapter 1476

His falcon gaze scanned the area as his ears listened to the most abnormal noise. Angeline's safety fiddled with the most nervous chord in Jay's heart at this moment.

Zayne thought about how he and Angelina made a long and challenging journey to look for Jay with much trouble. Meanwhile, Jay was taking a stroll with beauty. He could not contain his anger and said," Angelina trusted you, and you're here taking a walk with Judy under the moonlight?"

Jay looked at Angeline guiltily, yet he did not make any sudden movements and just quietly stood there.

Angeline, who was unclear of the situation, merely thought he was standing still because of his guilty conscience.

All of Angeline's worry turned into resentment within seconds. She was thoroughly enraged.

Judy acted like a rooster that had just won a battle and reached out to hold Jay's hand as she provocatively looked at Angeline.

Jay pushed Judy's hand away and was about to lift his foot to stride toward Angeline.

Suddenly, a cold light flashed behind Angeline and

Jay's pupils froze. He looked straight at Angeline's background and saw the black shadow hidden in the jungle. It was the one that had been trailing them for a long time.

The person was wearing black from head to toe. Jay could barely make out the cold blade in his hand that was coincidentally directed toward his Angeline.

That was a warning to him.

Jay did not dare to make a single move.

His whole world became quiet instantaneously, and there were no sounds to be heard. He could merely make out the picture and the cold blade that was becoming clearer in sight.

Angeline waited for Jay's explanation, but she never thought that Jay would choose to stay silent.

Silence meant that he acquiesced to Judy's provocation against her.

Angeline felt so aggrieved that she started shedding tears.

Judy became even more and more aggressive. "Sis Angeline, men like a gentle woman. Brother Jay has been thoroughly suppressed by a fierce wife like you for so many years. Now that he has found a kind and pleasant woman like me, he knows just how good I truly am. He doesn't want to go back with you today, so go home!"

Angeline was unspeakably disappointed in Jay. "Do

you truly like her, Jaybie?"

Jay did not speak, his pupils completely focused on the cold, sharp blade.

Judy pleaded, "Sis Angeline, please wake up. Just let him go, alright?" It was as if she was already Jay's new wife.

Angeline was so indignant that she turned around and left!

At this moment, Carson came over with a large number of troops. "Are you alright, Miss Severe?"

"I'm fine," said Angeline.

The shadow in the jungle flashed off.

Once Angeline was out of danger, Jay let out a sigh of relief.

"Carson, search the mountain immediately," Jay stepped forward, pointing toward the dense forest as he said mightily, "The assassin is in there."

Carson's eyes widened in astonishment. The Corvettes had searched Mount Pearl for the whole day now and found no trace of the assassin. Did Jay collide with the killer so easily?

Could there be such a coincidence?

"Head into the mountains immediately." Carson did not dare to neglect the order. With a single wave of his hand, the Corvettes started an inch by inch search.

Jay proceeded to stride toward his wife.

"Angeline."

Angeline ignored him and ran forward.

Jay's long legs chased after her. He grabbed her hand and apologized. "Jaybie wasn't purposely ignoring you earlier. It was a dangerous situation."

Then, he proceeded to scold Zayne, "Why did you bring Angeline out?"

Zayne retorted, "You weren't home when it was getting dark outside. Don't you know that your darling wife will be worried about you?"

Jay hugged Angeline in his arms and coaxed, "The assassin was behind you just now and if I made any sudden movements, I was afraid he might do something to you. Please, don't be angry. I'll make it up to you later... Okay?"

Zayne started to pester. "You're not fooling anyone."

Jay gave him a death stare and Zayne abruptly shut his trap. 1

Chapter 1477

Chapter 1477

Angeline might be narrow-minded, but she was not unreasonable. After listening to Jay's explanation, her anger dissipated immediately. She asked Jay with concern, "Why is the assassin following you, Jaybie?"

Jay did not want Angeline to worry about him, so he pretended to look relaxed. He squeezed Angeline's cheeks and smiled. "He injured Uncle Zechariah. I think he's here to hurt Judy."

Jay then steered Angeline toward tragic cases of familicides, which diminished Angeline's concerns and worries tremendously.

The night was hazy, so the rugged mountain road became difficult to navigate. The road downhill was especially steep and precipitous.

Jay bent down and said, "I'll carry you home, Angeline."

Zayne rushed forward, putting all of his weight on

Jay. He said with an annoying smile, "I'm also exhausted from having searched for you all day, Big Brother. Why don't you carry me too?"

Jay grabbed his shoulders and performed a beautiful shoulder throw, smashing Zayne to the ground while snarling. "Get lost."

Zayne yelped in pain.

Angeline climbed onto Jay's firm and solid back, letting out a dazzling smile.

Judy, who was left out in the cold, looked at Jay and Angeline while twisting her hands together. The unwillingness pouring out of her eyes grew more and more intense.

She did not understand why Jay, an angel with otherworldly good looks, superior IQ, and cold and lofty aura, would indulge and pamper Angeline so much. Judy was obsessed with this gentle side of Jay, and that gave birth to a feeling of intense greed. She wanted to replace Angeline and become Master Ares' favorite.

She was sure that Brother Jay did not like her competitive character, hence she would imitate Angeline by being a weak and frail girl.

"Brother Jay." Judy suddenly staggered forward and looked around with a pale complexion. "I'm scared."

Judy thought that Jay would care for her but did not expect him to reply without even looking back, "Didn't you say that you have really good martial arts skills? What are you so scared of?"

Angeline curled her lips and smiled slightly. Jaybie was definitely a male chauvinist in front of other women.

"She wants you to care for her." Angeline moved her mouth closer to Jay's ear, her moist lips brushing his earlobe.

Jay smiled. "I'm old, my strength is limited. I've got my hands full just taking care of you."

Angeline put her arms around his neck and let out an extremely contented smile.

"Zayne, take care of Judy," Jay ordered.

Before Zayne could say anything, Judy looked at him with contempt. "I heard that you're a weak and sickly man. I'd be grateful if you can take care of yourself. I don't need you to take care of me." Zayne warned her sternly, "Remove the word 'sickly'. I'm just weak, not sickly."

The duo quarreled the entire way...

It was as if they were trying to liven things up for Angeline. Even Angeline grew excited and mischievous.

"Jaybie..."

"Mm." Jay tilted his head slightly as he listened to her voice that was as faint as a mosquito.

"I love you."

Jay felt as though he had won a five million lottery ticket. His attractive and sexy thin lips broke into a grin. In an instant, it was like a field of flowers had blossomed in his heart. His heart was filled with sweetness and bliss.

"How much?" he asked her.

They did not notice that Zayne and Judy had stopped quarreling.

"Much more than my life."

Jay's eyes were moist. "Mm. I know."

Angeline had other things in mind when she said this to him.

Chapter 1478

Chapter 1478

She was trying to remind him to protect himself when his life was at stake.

If Jay was gone, then she would not have the will to live anymore either.

She wanted Jay to cherish his life.

Judy pouted and snorted.

Judy refused to believe that Angeline would love Jay s o deeply.

When they came to a fork, Jay said, "Send Judy home, Zayne."

Zayne had been quarreling with Judy the entire way and was eager to get rid of this annoying girl. "Why me?"

Jay said confidently, "Because I need to take Angeline home."

Zayne whimpered and dropped his head, saying, "I'll take Angeline home. You can take Judy home."

Jay glared at him...

Angeline suggested, "Jaybie, we're not far from Judy's house. We can send her home on the way." Jay accepted Angeline's suggestion.

Judy looked extremely abashed. Jay's aversion to her had sent a substantial blow to her self-esteem.

When Judy came home, Cole walked out with a sullen face and reprimanded her, "Your father's life is in danger. Aren't you worried that he won't be able to die in peace if you're not by his side?" Judy rolled her eyes at Cole. Already upset to begin with, she took it all out on Cole. "I know you like Sis Angeline. That's why you're afraid that I'll pester Brother Jay and upset your sweetheart." Jay's dashing face turned icy. He turned around and left with Angeline on his back.

Cole sneered and said, "See that? That's the result of your enthusiasm?"

Judy pouted without a word.

Cole said, "Go in and see your dad. If the doctors hadn't resuscitated him in time, he would've gone to see his creator by now."

Judy came to Zechariah's bed and complained tearfully, "You must hold on, Father. No one in this world will love me anymore if you're gone."

Cole teased her. "What are you talking about? Grand Old Master, Patriarch, and everyone in Yorks Stronghold loves you. It's precisely because too many people are spoiling you that you're behaving like you own everything in the world and must get your hands on the things that you have set your eyes on.

Unfortunately for you, my cousin is like the moon in the sky. Do you think someone will go up the sky and pick the moon for you?"

Judy flew into a rage. "Brother Jay isn't the moon.

He's a human. If Angelina can win his heart, why can't I?"

"That's because you're not Angelina."

"What's so good about Angelina? She's old and weak, nothing but a sickly princess who's a burden for Brother Jay-"

Smack!

Cole slapped her across the face in fury. "Don't you dare slander Angelina like that."

Judy clutched her blazing face and roared. "What did I say wrong?"

Cole clenched his teeth. "Listen up. Master Ares will love her despite all her shortcomings. At 17 years old, Master Ares fell in love with Angeline at first sight when she was only ten. He kept her in a safe bubble since, painstakingly nurturing her. You can say that Master Ares is the one who made Angelina into who she is today. She can be like a trumpet vine when she's gentle and a kapok tree when she's tough.

Master Ares is the reason why she's physically weak... Not only would Master Ares not hate this version of Angeline, but he'll only indulge and pamper her even more."

This was the first time Judy had heard about the touching love story between Jay and Angeline. She was feeling both jealous and astonished.

She was aware of Jay's kindness toward Angeline but was surprised to learn about the love behind his indulgence and pampering.

Jay's love for Angeline was so passionate and intense that it was driving her crazy.

Chapter 1479

Chapter 1479

It was already three in the morning when Baby Robbie returned to Green Plum Town.

Jay was sitting on the couch in the living room sipping coffee in a seemingly elegant manner. Despite that, his charming eyes were covered with a trace of worry and it was clear that something was weighing o n his mind.

The door of the living room made a creak and Baby Robbie was seen tiptoeing inside. After taking just several steps, he was startled when he caught sight of Jay.

"You didn't go to bed yet, Daddy?"

Jay eased up his tightly-knitted brows before standing up and pretending to walk upstairs. "I'll go to bed now."

Baby Robbie was stunned. Daddy had been waiting for him. He was clearly worried about him.

"I have something to tell you, Daddy," Baby Robbie said.

Jay turned around with a big smile on his mesmerizing face. "Sure."

He wanted to know if anything special had happened to Baby Robbie yesterday. Baby Robbie taking the

initiative to talk to him was proof of their healthy father-son relationship.

"I'd like to bring a little girl home," Baby Robbie said.

Jay asked vigilantly, "Is she a military intelligence division agent?"

Baby Robbie nodded. "Mm. She's severely injured and still unconscious. She's currently recuperating secretly in Maya's house. I fear that she'll be discovered by Doomsday's Corvettes or be harmed by the villagers."

Jay's eagle eyes narrowed slightly. "Are her injuries very serious?"

He recalled the person following behind him yesterday. That person walked with feather-light and swift steps. It was certainly not someone who was suffering from severe injuries. Who was it?

Baby Robbie nodded. "Yes, Daddy. She's suffering from comminuted fractures in many areas, which will take a long time to recover."

Jay saw the pleading look in Baby Robbie's eyes and nodded because he did not want to disappoint his child. "I can take her in, but you must remember who you are."

After a pause, he exhorted, "If your identity is revealed, then it'll bring devastating damage to Jens."

Baby Robbie nodded resolutely. "Don't worry, Daddy.

The person at the military intelligence division is Baby Robbie and I'm Jens."

"Mm." Jay's face eased up.

Baby Robbie suddenly stepped forward and threw himself into Jay's arms. "Thank you, Daddy."

The next day.

Jay sent someone to fetch Sis Thirteen back to Green Plum Town.

After a night's rest, Sis Thirteen had regained consciousness but was still unable to move. There was helplessness in her lucid pupils as she studied the strange environment around her.

The sight of the scrawny and frail Sis Thirteen aroused Angeline's pity when she recalled how she was taken away by the military intelligence division a t such a young age and lived a life where no one cared for her or loved her.

"Don't be afraid, my child. You can live here from now on. We won't hurt you," Angeline said softly.

Sister Thirteen squeezed a grateful smile at Angeline and said in a hoarse voice, "Thank you, Pretty Aunty."

Angeline was slightly stunned. She realized something when she heard the familiar voice. "Are you the little girl who took care of me that day?"

Sis Thirteen nodded.

Angeline doted on Sis Thirteen even more now. "This

will be your home from now on, my child."

Jay gave Angeline a suggestive glance. He was caught between laughter and tears. He was feeling a little helpless too. Angeline was a soft, adorable, and particularly grateful person. If others treated her kindly, then she would return their kindness tenfold.

However...

Jay's gaze fell on the little girl again, his dark pupils glowing with an obscure glint.

At what age did this child enter the military intelligence division, he wondered?

Like a beast that had left its pack, she was now domesticated by someone else, losing her original self entirely.

Not wanting Angeline to take unknown risks, Jay stepped forward and pulled Angeline toward him. His seemingly gentle and harmless eyes carried a meaningful smile.

"The child has severe injuries, Angeline. We should let her rest."

Angeline looked at Sis Thirteen with a reluctant gaze." I need to stay and take care of her..."

"Argh!" Jay suddenly clutched his stomach and furrowed his brows.

Angeline instantly shifted her attention to Jay, asking anxiously, "Is your stomach acting up again, Jaybie?"

Jay nodded. "Help me into the house to rest."

Hence, Angeline supported Jay outside.

Jay had just taken a few steps when he suddenly turned around and ordered Grayson and Finn, "By the way, Grayson, Finn, the two of you will live here from now on. Spring is nearly here and Baby Zetty and Jens have fallen far too behind in their studies. Please stay in Green Plum Town and help them catch up in their studies. I want you to draw up a timetable for me by tonight."

Finn and Grayson exchanged glances at each other. When their eyes met, they could read the implicit meaning of Master Ares' words from each other's doubtful eyes. They then replied reverently, "Yes, Maste Ares."

Angeline helped Jay into the bedroom.

Jay lay on the bed, his back leaning against the headboard as he stared at Angeline bustling about for him with a languid gaze. His mesmerizing face was adorned with a blissful smile.

Angeline found a moxibustion box and lit up a moxa stick. The burning dried mugwort sent tears to her eyes.

"What is this?" Jay asked curiously.

Angeline explained with a smile, "This is the moxibustion method I learned from the villagers. It can warm you up and make you feel better!"

She walked over with the moxibustion box. In front of the copper alloy moxibustion box was a beautiful purse embroidered with a pair of doves.

Jay's eyes fell on the pair of poorly embroidered doves and laughed. "Are these doves or wild birds?"

Angeline blushed with shame. She was terrible at embroidery and this was her first time learning it, hence her doves looked hideous.

Angeline said shyly, "Well, that depends. Do you want them to be doves or wild birds?"

Jay suddenly stretched out his long arms and took her into his arms, saying affectionately, "Why don't you sew me a dove buckle so I can wear it on me?" Angeline immediately pictured an elegant and noble man swaggering around with a clumsy-looking buckle... She blushed and shook her head. "They'll laugh at me." Jay covered her lips. "I won't show it to others..."

Angeline was flabbergasted. "Is your stomach not hurting anymore?"

Jay stopped immediately and covered his stomach with both hands, his gaze falling on the moxibustion box. "How does this work?"

"Lie down."

Jay followed Angeline's instructions and lay on the bed.

Angeline put the moxibustion box on his stomach and covered him with a blanket.

The moxa fragrance that was exuding from the moxibustion box smelled very refreshing.

Jay took a whiff of the moxa fragrance and stared at the gorgeous woman, his cold and steely heart gradually melting.

Angeline lay on the bed cupping her cheeks in her hands, her eyes filled with worry. "Your stomach problems haven't acted up for so long. Why the sudden recurrence?" Jay reached out and stroked Angeline's well-defined chin.

"I'm not sick."

Angeline widened her almond eyes. "Why are you lying to me, then? Do you know how worried I was?"

Jay said, "I just want you to care about me."

Angeline,"..."

She then pinched Jay's nose and reprimanded him, "I think Zayne's right about you being childish. You're just three years old at most, Jaybie."

Jay let out a dazzling smile, one that carried a trace of mischief and demonic charm.
