Female Novel
Chapter 816 A Nightmare
“Amber!”
Jack woke up from his sleep in shock.
His whole body was covered in sweat. Anxiety could be seen on his face.
This shout from him had caused a change in expression in Amber, Mr. Ward and the rest who were on
the plane. They quickly rushed over to him.
“Honey, you’re awake. Did you have a nightmare?”
Amber snuggled into Jack’s arms and gently stroke his chest that was heaving fervently.
At the same time, Mr. Ward and Brent had already knelt on the ground.
“Young Master, it was my decision. I’m willing to accept any punishment!”
Mr. Ward said seriously. He took the blame for Brent, for knocking Jack out and bringing him back
forcefully on himself.
Brent, who was next to him lowered his head without saying anything.
This was the decision they made after getting on the plane while Jack was unconscious.
Even Steve and Rosie agreed with Brent and Mr. Ward’s plan.
In their opinions, Jack’s plan to head back and save the mysterious man when they were at the airport
earlier was too hasty.
However, Jack ignored Mr. Ward’s words.
He was scanning around the plane in a panic as he panted.
After confirming that he was already on the plane and everything he saw earlier was merely a dream,
Jack calmed down eventually.novelbin
He could feel the tiny hand that was rubbing on his chest.
Lifting his hand slowly, Jack then pressed Amber’s slender hand onto his chest.
“What kind of nightmare did you have?”
Amber looked at Jack in concern.
“It was a terrifying one.”
Jack told her in a deep voice. The beads of sweat on his forehead were evident, and it was as if the
nightmare had taken all his strength away. He whispered to Amber, “You were struggling in my dream
and even broke your wrist because of that.”
As soon as his words came out, Amber froze a little.
Her gentle eyes in an instant became erratic.
Mr. Ward and the others looked at each other in confusion.
Was the nightmare…so real?
But after they thought about how important Amber was to Jack, they could understand his fear a little.
This was normal to Mr. Ward, Brent and Daisy.
Their young master could even go crazy when it came to Amber!
Hence, it was expected that he was terrified from just a nightmare.
“Thank god it was just a dream.”
Jack smiled in relief.
“Yeah, you’re right. I’m still good here, am I not?”
Amber nodded with a smile. Then, she took a piece of tissue and wiped away the sweat on Jack’s face.
While she did so, she whined, “Look at you being so scared because of a dream, are you really a
man?”
“Don’t you know that I am a real man or not?”
Jack stared at her deeply, and his words carried a hidden meaning to them.
“What?”
Amber’s movement froze, and her face turned as red as a tomato a second later. She looked down
shyly and landed a soft punch on Jack’s chest as she whined again, “Hey, what are you talking about
with so many people around?”
Everyone on the plane, including Mr. Ward, Brent, Daisy and Amber’s parents were caught off guard
and felt slightly awkward because of Jack’s words.
Then, Jack’s gaze fell upon Mr. Ward and Brent who were still kneeling on the ground.
He sucked in a deep breath, suppressing the images from his nightmare in his mind.
After that, he said slowly, “You can get up now, you guys are not to be blamed for what happened.
You’re just doing your job.”
Upon hearing that, everyone breathed out a sigh of relief.
Once they stood up, then only did Jack ask, “Is there any news from the mysterious man?”
“None at the moment. We can’t get in touch with him.”
Mr. Ward shook his head solemnly.
Jack’s heart stopped for a beat, but he still managed to force a smile and said, “This is not that bad too.
Weren’t there occasions when he was safe and sound but we couldn’t get to him too? He has always
been a lone ranger. He’ll contact us when he feels like it.”
His words were a little far-fetched, but they had no other choice but to hope for the best right now.
It had been quite some time since the mysterious man started to protect Jack secretly. They had met
each other many times before too.
However, the mysterious man was the one who approached Jack first every time.
There were a few times when he left his contact information with them, but once their mission was over,
the mysterious man went back into hiding again. His old contact information would become useless
too.
Since they couldn’t get to the mysterious man now, they assumed he was either dead or had escaped
danger but decided to not contact them for the time being.
To be honest, Jack would rather believe the latter.
As he stretched, he looked at the sea of clouds out the window.
Then, he asked, “We should be landing soon, right?”
“We’ll be landing in five minutes at suburban airport. I’ve got everything prepared there.”
Mr. Ward bowed and said, “Upon landing, we will not head back to the TM Villa District. For safety
reasons, we will go to Four Impressions Club under tight security right away.”
Four Impressions Club again?
Jack let out a bitter smile and rubbed his nose, “We’re going to trouble Minister Mable again.”
“Don’t worry about it, I’ve informed him beforehand.”
Steve comforted Jack, “We are in a Bloody Trap now. Even if we had returned here, we should always
keep on guard now. Four Impressions Club is indeed much safer than TM Villa District.”
“Yeah Jack, just stay there with Amber for the time being. I’m sure Minister Mable wouldn’t mind your
presence.”
Rosie put her hands together and said worriedly, “While we were at South Maine for the past few days,
Steve and I had been worried to death about any unexpected situations. We even…”
“Hey, you definitely talk too much, don’t you think so? Get ready, we’re getting down now.”
Steve interrupted Rosie, took their luggage as he pulled Rosie away with him.
In fact, the few days at South Maine were indeed difficult for them.
When a knife was pointed to their throats, Steve and Rosie decided to protect them without even
discussing it earlier.
As their parents, they could sacrifice everything for their children. Including their lives!
Just as the two elderly turned away, Jack called out to them.
Jack rubbed his nose and said after a short moment of hesitation, “Dad, Mom, it’s a little rude of me to
say this, but judging from the situation now, it’s best if the both of you return to the other side of the
ocean right after we get down from the plane.”
What?
Steve and Rosie stared at Jack in astonishment.
Amber who was in his embrace looked up at him too, unable to understand his intention.
As for Jack’s subordinates, Mr. Ward and the rest, they did not have that much of a reaction.
Jack explained apologetically, “In this Bloody Trap. There is danger everywhere around me. I’m afraid
that if the both of you stayed here, it would increase your chances of getting hurt. Leaving now would
be the best way to protect you guys.”
“But what about you and Amber after we leave…”
Steve’s expression changed and said worriedly.
However, before he could finish his words, Mr. Ward interrupted, “Mr. Knight, you don’t need to worry
about them. We are here to protect young master and madame. If we need help in the future, I will
definitely inform old master to send men over here for more manpower. But young master is right, it will
only put your lives in danger if the both of you stay around him. Plus, it will make it more difficult to
protect everyone too.”
“Young Master is the cause of all this danger, so as long as the both of you stay away, then we can
assure your safety.”
Mr. Ward might seem like he was making an explanation, but he left no room for negotiation with his
determined tone.
That was the truth.
Right now, it was best to lessen the number of people on board. That way, everyone else could be
more protected.
Amber hesitated for a moment before telling her parents, “Dad, Mom, I think what Jack said makes
sense. As your children, we can not bear to have the both of you suffer through all the danger with us.”
It was quiet in the plane.
Steve and Rosie took their time to think about the plan.
Finally, Rosie took a step forward and said gently, “Okay then. But your dad and I don’t want to leave
right away. We want to accompany you for another day.”
“Sure.”
Jack agreed to the request right away. Spending another day together wouldn’t matter. Plus, Rosie was
injured, so she could use this extra day to take a good rest.
