After what happened, Sage was totally exhausted. ‘Luckily, the poison was not injected into Jace’s body. I can’t imagine how disastrous the consequences will be.’
“Fortunately, you arrived on time. Or else I will be dead by now.”
Sage tilted her head and looked at Jace. Her brows interlocked together, and she did not see any relief on his face after nearly escaping death.

However, each harsh word she spoke was like a hammer pounding hard on his heart. It caused his heart to hurt so much that he did not know how to describe it. It was true that he could not give her the security and happiness she wanted. The only thing he could do for her was to clear all the dangerous factors in her life and return the peace to her life. Jace requested Zayne to pass him his phone. He made a call. “Have you collected all the information on Jekyll? Send it to me.”
