"She wasn't abducted, sir," Jian answered, his head down."And she's not sick either," he added quickly, head still down as if he didn't want to look at Jeremy."Then what exactly is wrong if none of these is happening to her?" Jeremy frowned slightly, staring at Jian."Five days ago, she just slept and has refused to wake up ever since," Jian answered slowly, his voice low, as though he was afraid Jeremy and Jasper wouldn't believe what he was saying.Jeremy's expression changed slightly and he sat up, looking even more serious now."I've called the best doctors over, but they couldn't tell what's happening and they couldn't wake her up either," Jian continued after a while, the sadness in his voice could be felt even more.He had been looking for a way to find treatment for his daughter until he heard Jeremy was back in Silver City.He had seen their powers the last time they had rescued him and he knew about cultivators and how their powers transcended anything he knew.So he had c

"I... I... am sorry," the old man quickly bowed to Jeremy and Jasper, but his gaze was fixed particularly on Jasper."I didn't know you had guests, Mr. Jian," the old man said again, apologizing for the second time."I'm sorry, Sir Jasper," the old man apologized again, turning to Jasper this time."I'll take my leave," he added and turned around, wanting to hurry out of the private room."Wait a minute, old man," Jasper chuckled, stopping the old man in his tracks."Do you know him, Jasper?" Jeremy raised his brows, looking at Jasper."Yes, sir; don't you know, it was his granddaughter the government hired us to save," Jasper answered, nodding."But since you didn't come with us, he didn't see you, so he didn't know who you were," Jeremy carried on."Also, he's the head of the Ravencroft family, Jacob Ravencroft.""Oh," Jeremy nodded and then turned away, letting Jasper ask the old man what he wanted to.Jacob, on the other hand, felt his heart was about to burst out of his chest.Th

"Sir, you're wearing a suit; that's quite rare. What's the occasion?" Jasper chuckled lightly, staring at Jeremy, who was sitting relaxed on the sofa.They had gotten to the restaurant and were now waiting for Mr. Jian."And they feel so darn uncomfortable," Jeremy rolled his eyes, looking down at the suit on his body.He hadn't exactly changed since yesterday. He didn't really have any spare clothes.The Raven family had made sure to throw the one he wore the day before away. So he had no other choice but to keep wearing it."Besides, I got married yesterday," Jeremy added, a grin spreading onto his face."Married?" Jasper froze, not believing his ears as he stared at Jeremy."Alright, stop acting as if you've never heard something like that in your life," Jeremy scoffed, waving his hand at Jasper, who immediately snapped back to his senses.Jasper sighed and didn't know what to say. If all those ladies in the wasteland who were after Jeremy heard the news, who knew what they would d

Sarah's expression changed the moment she heard this. How could she bear to accept this bet?It was all a trap and she knew it. Mr. Jian of the Bai family was not someone who was easy to meet or please, not to begin talking about matters of investment."Are you going to accept it or not?" Denis's mocking voice came, pulling Sarah back to her senses."Fine..." Sarah bit her lower lip, her hands clenched into a fist; a flash of determination rose in her eyes.Jeremy had restored her face and given her a new life. Even if she had to crawl to hell, she would be willing. She couldn't allow her family to get what they wanted.When she was disfigured, they were the same set who had nearly forced her to despair, and now they wanted her to abandon the only man who didn't mock her and even helped her.The liquid he had used on her—who knew how much it had cost? She knew money couldn't buy something like that.Besides, she had three days to prepare. With her capabilities, she was sure she would

"Huh?" Sarah blinked, not believing her ears."Grandmother, I don't quite understand?" She frowned, her expression already darkening like the cloud."I said divorce him," Mabel repeated, not caring about the frown etched on Sarah's face."Why?" Sarah questioned, her fist clenched tightly as she stared at her grandmother."Because I said so," Mabel snorted, her voice cold as she stared back at Sarah."I'm sorry, I can't," Sarah refused, shaking her head."How dare you disobey me?" Mabel's brows narrowed as she stared at Sarah."He's just an illegitimate son of the Raven family, destined never to achieve anything in this life," she scoffed, her gaze landing on Jeremy."Divorce him and get married to Kelvin instead; that way the bond between our families would become even stronger," she urged, her tone laid with urgency."I'm sorry, but I can't do that," Sarah refused, shaking her head, her voice firm, leaving no room for arguments."What exactly do you see in a loser like him, huh?"

Sarah stared at her face in the mirror, still not believing what she was seeing.Her hands moved as she gently touched her smooth, white, jade-like face which had been restored.No, this was even smoother and clearer than the past.In just one night, he had accomplished it. The face that everyone had belittled her for five years.Everyone had treated her like she was unworthy of living and yet, that same face she thought had no cure had been solved by this seemingly very ordinary husband of hers.Tears streaked down Sarah's face as she touched her face gently, still not believing what was happening.Jeremy, on the other hand, was rummaging through his bag, searching for something.A minute later, he fished out a picture. Quickly, he stared at the picture, then raised his head and looked at Sarah.Jeremy blinked, as he couldn't believe what he was seeing. Instantly, he rubbed his eyes and took another look at the picture, then at Sarah.After a while, Jeremy collapsed back to the bed.
