Chapter 441

“Where is she?” Tristan was stupefied when Sonia was out of sight.

Franco's face turned grim when he 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 upto 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 her down.

Right that instant, she took the chance to bite him hard on the arm. Grasping the jade pendant in her

hands, she stared at him with anxiousness written all over her 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 him with her eyes.

Undeniably, Jared went after them because of Sonia's jade pendant. However, he never had the

intention to snatch it from her. Now that she misunderstood him, he could not resist mocking, “Hmph!

How ridiculous! You seem to treat this jade pendant as an invaluable treasure, don't you?”

The next moment, he turned and left, paying no heed to her.

Gazing at his retreating figure, Sonia was dumbfounded and stood rooted to the spot.

When she finally came to her senses after quite some time, Jared was already a distance away from

her. She gritted her teeth and quickened her pace to catch up to him.

Jared shot her 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 her without slowing down.

Nevertheless, Sonia continued to trail behind him closely with her head lowered.novelbin

Jared was utterly speechless. He stopped abruptly and said, “What on earth are you trying to do?”

Sonia looked at him eagerly. “Could you please send me back? I'm scared of bumping into those

people again!”

Her gut instinct told her that Jared was no ordinary man. Since he managed to save her on the spot

without Tristan and Franco's knowledge, she was sure as h*ll that his formidability was beyond

imagination.

“Where do you stay?” Jared finally heaved a sigh as he did not have the heart to reject the pitiful lady.

Sensing that Jared had relented, she 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 he saw Sonia,

he 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, she whipped out a few black pills and was about to let him swallow them.

Nonetheless, Jared stretched out his hand to stop her at once. After sniffing the pills, he told her

solemnly, “Apparently, your dad has sustained an internal injury. Hence, he 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 him hesitantly, “D-Do you know how to treat his medical condition?”
