John was about to ask about something when Sierra cut him off first. "It was me."His brows furrowed at once, and he rejected it immediately.The girl who had saved him that day had been left with a scar on her thigh. Sierra's skin was smooth, without a mark on her."I know what you're thinking. I had the scar removed in the hospital when I was in university," Sierra said calmly. "If you don't believe me, you can ask the doctor who did the treatment at the time."John dismissed it without hesitation. "This isn't funny."But Sierra went on. "Pamela couldn't tell you what I was wearing that day, could she? Because when I told Holly about it, I left out those details. They didn't matter. But I remember. I was wearing a pink princess dress, and my hair was styled like a princess's too. I got that scar on my leg while I was dragging you to shore."Sierra told him everything that had happened that day.She knew he had to remember. He had always cared so much about that childhood p

John kept looking in the direction Sierra had gone.Robin watched his face grow paler and finally said, "You still have to go back to Jade City tomorrow. You should return to the hospital and get that wound fixed first."John gave a faint nod.Robin left with John. With so many people around, he did not hold John. He was worried someone would use this against him.Sierra watched them the whole time. Even though John showed no obvious sign that anything was wrong, she knew his wound was most likely bleeding again.But this was something that had to be said sooner or later.Better to say it all at once."Sierra?" Holly walked over and called her name several times.Sierra only came back to herself after John left the ballroom.Holly could tell something was wrong. She tried to look at what Sierra was looking at, but saw nothing. "What did Maxwell say to you? Why do you look so pale?""That obvious?" Sierra asked."That obvious." Holly nodded.Sierra lowered her eyes and hid t

"If there's nothing else, I'm hanging up," Lucy said. She had no intention of saying more to Kenneth. "I still have things to do."Kenneth frowned. "You're really not going to do anything about him?""He's a grown man. Does he still need someone to look after him?" Lucy said.Kenneth fell silent."If you want to micro-manage him, do it yourself. I don't have that kind of free time."John had never really gotten over what happened in the past. He should at least learn his lesson this time. If he still couldn't figure it out, if he still stubbornly believed a promise had to be kept no matter what, then he deserved whatever came of it."Are you serious?" As soon as Kenneth said that, Lucy gave a brief hum of acknowledgement and hung up.Looking at that utterly heartless woman, Kenneth wanted to try to persuade her a little more. Then he realized that no matter what he said, she probably would not listen. In the end, he simply put down his phone with a heavy heart.None of them wer

"Sure," Sierra said coldly to John. "I hope you mean it. See you in a month."After that, she didn't stay for even a second. She walked straight toward Nicholas and Holly, who were waiting for her.John watched her talk and laugh with them then got into their car without looking back. Even after the car was gone from his sight, he still stood there without moving."Sir..." Robin hesitated, as if he had something to say.John's expression did not change. "Say it."Robin pressed his lips, then finally spoke. "If you really can't let Ms. Bell go, talk to her properly. Mr. Gomez went too far that day, but some of what he said wasn't wrong.""There's no need for any of that," John said.He would keep every promise he had made.He would use the truth as his answer to Danny and the others. He would make them understand that a promise was something you had to keep, even if it cost you your life."Can you really accept her leaving?" Robin asked. "According to your agreement, once the d

John paused.Seeing him reacting, Robin kept going. "After that, Ms. Bell's friends will definitely say she made the right choice divorcing you. You got so ugly right after the divorce.""If you really have that much free time," John said softly, "I'll call your parents and have them set you up on blind dates." "I'm not free," Robin answered at once. "No need for that."John said nothing else. He lowered his eyes to keep working.When it was midnight again, Robin took out his phone and called Kenneth. "Mr. Gomez, are you busy?""Talk," Kenneth said."Mr. Henderson has been staying up late and working overtime this whole time. He only sleeps three or four hours a day." Robin was genuinely worried. "Why don't you come talk to him?"The line went quiet for a moment. About ten seconds later, Kenneth spoke again. "Is he still eating all three meals on time?"Robin answered honestly. "Yes."John ate on time and worked late to finish everything. He also went upstairs to the gym ev
