“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 Sna 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 sister went unrivaled.


    However, Liam had to live apart from their family, given that he had be 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 Sna City right away.” Worry colored


    Jonah’s eyes.


    “What did you say?” Liam leaped up from the couch he was sitting on, instantly bing 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.”


    This is property ? N?velDrama.Org.


    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 protect 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’ming 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.
