Chapter 482 Did You Lose Your Memory (1/2)

Emily slightly lowered her head. Magee could not see her expression but an idea occurred in his mind. ”Let them continue with their job. We shall wait here for them. What do you think about it?”

After a few seconds of hesitation, Emily agreed it seemed like a good idea. ”Okay,” she said with a slight nod. Looking into Magee's eyes, she said, ”Thank you, Magee.”

Listening to her touchy words, Magee moved away his eyes and cleared his throat. ”I'm not doing it for free. I have my own purpose,” he responded.

”If I really find Jacob, I am willing to do anything you want. As long as I am capable of doing it, I will do it for you. This is my promise to you,” Emily said in a low but firm voice.

”Emily, don't boast please,” he said. Magee humphed slightly but did not say anything else.

Soon, Magee sent out all his subordinates to find the village hidden in the woods and came back to accompany Emily.

The weather was acting strange. Clouds were rumbling in the sky and there were signs of impending storm.

”Let's go to take shelter from the rain, shall we?” Magee suggested.

Emily nodded and Magee immediately cuddled her up again. Emily did not struggle out of his arms even though she still felt embarrassed. She knew he wasn't doing it in an inappropriate way.

Now Magee walked carefully on the curve roads to get rid of the plants that would have scraped Emily. He seemed particularly careful as they passed through the thorn bush.

While they walked, Magee sometimes tightened his grip over Emily because he was worried about her. She was as light as a feather and could be blown away any second.

Under the circumstance, Magee started to feel that worry overtook him. Now he began to doubt whether he had made the wrong decision.

Emily was evidently in poor health and she needed time to recuperate. As Jack had hidden a lot, Magee was not sure about the extent of her suffering.

If he had known it was so bad, he wouldn't have told her the news of Jacob so soon. In fact, he would have waited for her to get better.

However, what had to happen had already happened. Now Magee could do nothing but make sure her condition didn't worsen.
