Chapter 515
“No, I don’t trust Jasper Beckett! Mr. Jonah needs to hear about this!” Sean hurriedly
pulled out his phone
to give Jonah call.
When the line connected, Jonah instantly asked, “Did something happen to Alyssa?”
Maybe it was because of their sibling bond, but he had felt off all day. Now that Sean had
called him, he was sure something terrible had happened to his sister.
“Sir!” Sean cried, “Ms. Alyssa is… You need to send someone to Crater Mountain Park to
save her now!”
Jonah had been over 300 miles outside Solana City when he received the call from Sean.
He was
currently in Leichtown’s military department.
Since he’d stopped by, he naturally had to pay his brother Liam a visit. His mother had
birthed the four of them, including Alyssa, so his love for all his three brothers and his
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtsister went unrivaled.
However, Liam had to live apart from their family, given that he had become a colonel at
the age of 28.
He had to be stationed in Leichtown, where he headed the local military force.
That was why Jonah would always take the opportunity to see his third brother.
“Something has happened to Lyse, Liam. I need to return to Solana City right away.” Worry
colored
Jonah’s eyes.
“What did you say?” Liam leaped up from the couch he was sitting on, instantly becoming
alert. His
usually cool and calm demeanor had dissipated in seconds upon hearing that his sister
was in trouble.
Jonah replied hoarsely, “Our beloved Lyse has gone to volunteer as a park ranger once
again.”
Liam cursed aloud, marching back and forth worriedly. If any of his subordinates saw him
right now, they
would probably think they were dreaming.
“I’ve told her countless times to just donate money instead of going on those ranger
patrols. All she does
is put herself in harm’s way! But she never listens!” Jonah huffed.
“I don’t understand why she insists on going there. Are there any mineral mines, or does
she visit some
hermit to learn the arcane arts there?”
Liam scowled. All of a sudden, he appeared so much like their father, Winston.
Jonah shot him a long look. “Did you forget what happened to her when she was 11?”
“Of course not!” Liam’s eyes narrowed as he heaved a sigh. “That… bastard Jasper kid!”

“The longer I live, the more I’m convinced Mom gave birth to the four of us so we could
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmprotect her.” Jonah also heaved a sigh. He turned to leave. “I need to go save her. We’ll
talk again soon, Liam.”
“Wait up!” Liam cried, putting on his cap. “I’m coming with you!”
It was unclear how much time had passed before Jasper eventually stumbled upon a small
cave in the
mountainside for their shelter.
Trembling violently, Alyssa sought refuge against the rock wall, her arms wrapped around
her in an
attempt to stay warm.
The sight of her looking so fragile tugged at Jasper’s heartstrings. He went up and gently
cupped her
frigid cheeks.
His expression darkened. Alyssa was burning up.
“You’re having a fever!”
“I’m… I’m okay. I can handle it.” Alyssa allowed herself to feel the coolness of his touch on
her skin, not
shying away for once.
