A Relentless Pursuit for Love novel Chapter 93

Chapter 93

“Huh?”

Hunter was taken aback by Jace’s question. He wondered why Jace had wanted to know Sage’s age.

Jace had sounded serious and sincere. Hunter had no choice but to try his best to recall her age. “I think ma’am is around… twenty four or twenty-five this year.”

Jace’s eyes shot wide open.

If Sage was indeed twenty-four years old this year, then she would have been fourteen ten years ago.

Could Sage truly have been the girl that had been abducted?

Jace felt his chest tighten. As if struck by lightning, his ears began to ring as memories washed through him.

Regaining his composure, Jace made a call to Yoel. As soon as Yoel answered, Jace asked bluntly, “Do you remember the secret mission at Cloud Forest ten years ago?”

Yoel, who was on the other end of the call, had just returned to Riverside City and was in the middle of a discussion with his father about the horse racing track. At Jace’s question, he was slightly taken aback.

Pausing, Yoel replied, “You mean the mission where we were sent to save the abducted young girl?”

“Yeah, that.”

Staring at the documents, his vision grew blurry, and his mouth grew dry. Jace asked, “Do you still remember what the young girl looked like?”

“It’s been so long, how could I remember.”

Trying hard to recall, Yoel said, “I only remember the information that we had been given. The girl was fourteen. Everything else about her family and her background had been classified information. Damn, I remember being terrified of not being able to make i tout alive of Cloud Forest. That was quite a risky mission, wasn’t it? Our opponents were formidable, and I remember that our team had gotten separated. You had to enter their territory to save the girl, right?”

Despite the years that have passed after his discharge, just the thought of the days spent on the battlefield was still able to make Yoel’s blood boil.

She recognized him as someone who had been sent to save her. The first thing she said to him was, “Give me a gun.”

Right after that, both of them fought alongside each other and wiped out the group of kidnappers.

He had never met such a fearless young girl. Not only was she swift, but she was a good marksman as well. Just when Jace wanted to praise her, she fell into his arms, looking all exhausted and worn out.

He had then carried her out of the woods. She had lain in his arms weakly, smiled, and asked for his name. She had then promised him that she would return his kindness.

He told her, “I’m Jace Yuriel. You don’t owe me anything. Just promise me that you’d stay alive, well, and healthy.”

Underneath the bright sun’s rays, her big and round eyes glimmered.

Jace came back to his senses when Yoel spoke. A flicker flashed across his eyes as he cleared his throat and said, “What if I told you that Sage was that young girl?”
