Chapter 639 No One Can Take You Away (2/2)

Sean was a bit take aback, but held his composure. He brushed her cheek and with narrowed eyes, as he quietly asked, ”Is that so? And what did he say?”

Emily looked at Sean and said, ”He said that you're not a good person and that you do bad things. He also warned me to be careful and to stay away from you.”

A dangerous gleam quickly flashed through Sean's eyes. He said between gritted teeth, ”Oh, really? And what did you say? Did you believe him?”

”No! Of course not. You are my older brother. I

”How could you say that?” Vedder wasn't affected by Jacob's nonexistent display of expressions. He was only concerned about the results. He continued as if Jacob didn't say anything, ”So, will you be needing my help for the next mission? You provided me with quite enough anyway. It's sufficient and I would be able to help you. I could dispense you with what you need.”

”Thank you but I don't think I'll be needing it anymore.” Jacob rubbed his sore temples. He kept thinking about that young girl. He couldn't get her out of his head.

Though he knew it was impossible, he desperately wished that that young girl was actually Emily. He longed for her to have lived a happy and carefree life. She deserved much more than just to leave this world.

She would not just suddenly turn and look like that of a fifteen-year-old girl. All things considered, unless there was a medicine that could turn your age and appearance around...

Hold up! Wait... Medicine?!

Wasn't Sean a crazy guy who liked to meddle and perform out of this world experiments? So if he actually succeeded in developing this kind of medicine, it would make sense for him to apply this on Emily! It wouldn't be impossible for Sean to go to this extreme length to make Emily unrecognizable!
