“It's me.” Hearing that voice made Willow stop struggling, and she willingly followed him. When she felt a wall
behind her back, she quickly removed the clothing on her head and stared at her savior in disbelief. “It's you?”
The surprised woman looked at the man before.her, wondering why he was there. “Why are you...
She happily asked, but halfway through her question, Jasper covered her lips with his palm, stopping her from
speaking. That was because he sensed someone approaching them. Since they were in a corner, she could feel
him moving closer and leaning against her, rendering her no choice but gulp.
At this point, both were closely leaning against each other, and she even felt a little breathless from the pressure
on her chest. However, she obediently complied and stayed quiet. She knew there was danger wherever this
man was, and the explosion from earlier was no simple matter. What's going on?

Meanwhile, Jasper narrowed his eyes and waited for the frantic footsteps to disappear before looking at the
woman in his arms. When he did, he noticed her blushing cheeks and the faint shyness in her sparkling eyes.
Suddenly, Willow's phone rang, startling her. She quickly took it out and saw it was Mae calling her. Before she
could answer the call, the man took it away and switched it to silent mode.
“Follow me.” Once he said that, he grabbed her hand and led her to the back of the cafe. There were usually
service elevators at those places.
Willow followed him, taking twists and turns while making their way to the hallway behind the kitchen. Despite
her situation, she was happy because that man always appeared whenever she was in danger. How could a
woman like her not fall for him? This was simply a scene that would only appear in her dreams!
In the meantime, Jasper accurately analyzed their route with just a look and quickly brought her toward the
service elevator. At that moment, many were waiting for the elevator as well. Though the shopping mall had lost
power, the elevators had a backup power supply, so they were still working.
When he saw the crowd, he decided against taking the elevator with Willow. He led her away, and she willingly
followed. While walking along the mall's hallway, she noticed she had never been to these places. Still, she was
not in the mood to look around because her eyes were focused on the man before her.
However, the two men planning on kidnapping Willow were chasing after them. They had stuck a tracking device
on her backpack when they passed by her long before. However, they did not expect the young woman to flee so
quickly among the chaotic crowd.
Jasper and Willow arrived at the entrance to the stairs, and while he was leading her down, he frowned upon
hearing footsteps from above them. Since he had quite an accurate sixth sense, he had a hunch that someone

Suddenly remembering that those men were not ordinary, he believed they would find a way to keep their target
in sight no matter what. Then, he immediately pulled Willow closer. With his strength, he tugged her straight into
his embrace. Following that, she felt a large hand moving from her neck to her clothes. Her eyes. widened
slightly as the man examined her hair and even her hands.
Nonetheless, Willow did not make a sound and allowed him to check her body. Soon, the man. took her bag and
scrutinized it, ultimately finding a tracking device stuck under it. It was as small as a grain of rice, so it was
easily undetectable. Jasper quickly took the device off and opened the second-floor door before tossing it
through. Afterward, he continued to lead her downstairs.
In the meantime, the woman stayed quiet as she followed him to an exit at the back of the building, where she
saw a crowd, along with police officers and firefighters who arrived at the scene right after the explosion.
She followed the man until he opened a car door and pushed her inside before getting in too.
