NovelEnglish8/4 Chapter 393 Tension Beneath the Surface Chapter 393 Tension Beneath the Surface +5 Free Coins Sierra went over her memories again. There was, in fact, an upcoming collaboration with a foreign university, but it was an annual event—a global academic exchange involving sof the world's top institutions.
This year, it happened to be their school's turn to host, and a large number of scholars would be attending. The event was scheduled to take place in about half a month.
After thinking it over, Sierra decided to mention it. Johnathan's expression darkened immediately.
His injuries were severe. In half a month, he might not even be fully recovered-he might just be getting discharged. With so many people coming, if someone with ulterior motives managed to sneak in...
Sierra understood what he was thinking. She held his hand and said, "If they really do sneak in, it might actually be our opportunity." She looked at Maddox and Shen Qingchi. "We might even get a lead.” 1 "-Sierra." Johnathan had just opened his mouth to speak when Sierra turned to him. "Mr. Yaeger, I won't let them get away with it." They had nearly taken Johnathan away from her. She would never let that go.
Her eyes were filled with cold fury.

Was he... being protected by Sierra? He had to admit-it felt good. Even someone like him couldn't help but enjoy it.
Off to the side, Maddox thought for a moment and said, "I think Sierra's right. Instead of staying on the defensive, we should take the initiative. You can't live your whole life on guard.” He said it out loud, but they all knew the final decision would rest with Johnathan.
Sierra and the others didn't expect him to give an answer right away. There was still half a month to go. No rush. For now, the most important thing was for Johnathan to recover.
Since Johnathan had just woken up, Maddox and the others didn't stay long. They urged him to rest and said that Stone and Mateo would cby in the evening.
"They're good people," Sierra said to Johnathan.

"Yeah." Johnathan didn't deny it. He trusted them more than anyone.

If yesterday's attack had been aimed at Sierra, there would have been no way to prevent it.
As much as he wanted to lock Sierra away somewhere safe, it was impossible to keep her isolated forever. He couldn't be by her side twenty-four hours a day. Even he could be caught off guard. So the best plan really was to turn defense into offense.
The only problem was, his body might still be too weak when the tcame. He was afraid something unexpected might happen.
Sierra knew Johnathan well. One glance was enough to tell what he was thinking.
"Stop overthinking. Right now, what you need most is rest.' "It's still early." Johnathan nodded slightly.

They'd already passed the most critical phase. The experiments only required routine monitoring now, and there wasn't much Sierra needed to do. With Professor Martin overseeing everything, she could rest easy.
He and Autumn had both asked about Johnathan, and Sierra simply said it was a car accident.
During those few days, Chase visited almost daily to check on Johnathan. Though Johnathan Yemained aloof, he was far less hostile than before. To Sierra, that was a welcchange. One day, Chase didn't stay long.
"Jose's leaving the country tonight. I'm going to see him off." He said it deliberately, for Johnathan to hear.
When he heard Jose was leaving, Johnathan furrowed his brows but didn't say much.
Seeing that he had no particular reaction, Chase sighed. "Then get srest." 2/4
After he left, Johnathan made a phone call right in front of Sierra-he didn't try to hide it. She clearly heard him asking someone to look into Jose's recent activities. When he hung up, Sierra asked, "You suspect Jose?" "I know his personality. If he weren't hiding something, he wouldn't be leaving." Susie had tried to send him away before, and he refused. But now, he was leaving so cooperatively-it was suspicious.
