Don't Try to Escape, My Wife! novel Chapter 1283

"Alright, don't be too sad. The higher-ups have given Jarrod a chance. It's up to him to decide. Chill out. After we finish this task, you can also retire if you want to, and you'll still get paid."

Samuel knew what it meant to retire with pay.

Normally, people would retire after the age of sixty, and the Special Forces would retire at the age of thirty-five. However, with his military rank, even if he retired, he could still keep it, and even get paid. But he would not participate in military operations.

This was the life that Samuel wanted.

He nodded, smoked a cigarette with Emory, and then whispered, "I need to go check on Nicole. By the way, what's going on with the formation outside? Is it really the ancient Eight Trigrams Formation?"

"Speaking of which, the girl beside you is not an ordinary person. She is able to crack this formation. That's something."

Emory found Amelia impressive.

When Samuel heard this, he knew that Amelia was right, and he couldn't help but have some doubts about her identity.

"Amelia works for Aaron."

Hearing what Samuel said, Emory was surprised.

"Amelia? Is her surname Conley?"

"I don't know. I just know that her name is Amelia. She is Jarrod's 18-year-old present from Aaron, but Jarrod seems to care about her very much."

Samuel told Emory what he knew.

Emory whispered, "This woman should be the descendant of the formation. This ore vein has been here for many years. The Harper Town has been located here for several hundred years. The entire mountain is covered with the formation. Without it, this ore vein wouldn't have been so well hidden, and perhaps would have been discovered long ago. You don't know how many experts we hired to crack this formation, and how many months we spent drawing and searching for information. But Amelia cracked it at once. She is a talent. You should think of a way to keep her around. "

"I don't know. Amelia is an independent woman and she only listens to Jarrod. If you want Amelia to stay, you have to protect Jarrod."

Hearing that, Emory felt somewhat embarrassed.

"Samuel, you're making things difficult for me."

"I'm telling the truth. Amelia likes Jarrod and she is even carrying Jarrod's child. I know you are in short of talents. But no matter what, you can't force her or overwork her. I promised Jarrod that I would protect Amelia and their child."

This was Samuel's promise to Jarrod.

Emory frowned slightly, but still nodded.

After the conversation, Samuel asked where Nicole was and walked over.

Nicole and Amelia were puzzled. They were served with good meals, but were not allowed to leave the tent.

Amelia kept silent, but this silence seemed a little depressing.

Nicole poured her a glass of water and said, "Drink some water. It's cold in the mountains at night. Drink some hot water to warm your body."

"Thank you."

Amelia only took the glass to warm her hands, but did not drink water. A trace of worry flashed through her eyes.

"When will Mr. Jarrod meet us?"

Nicole didn't know how to answer.

"Very quickly."

When Nicole saw Samuel come in, she was surprised.

"Samuel?"

"Are you afraid?"

Samuel gently touched her head and said with a smile, "They are not Aaron's person, but Emory's."

"Emory? We accidentally found Emory?"

Nicole was very surprised.

Samuel nodded.

Nicole had been travelling around with him all this time. She must be a little tired.

However, when Amelia heard that it was Emory's team, she frowned slightly and said indifferently, "I want to go back and find Mr. Jarrod."

Samuel looked at Amelia and whispered, "I promised Jarrod that I can't let you go back. He should have his own plan. You might ruin his plan if you go back. Besides, you should better rest more now."

As a woman, she could totally understand Amelia. However, she also knew that Samuel had promised Jarrod that he would take good care of Amelia and the child in her belly. She could not let Amelia go.

Samuel got mixed feelings, and he whispered, "You stay. I'll go save him."

Amelia was a little surprised by this, and then shook her head.

"No, Mr. Jarrod wants you to be safe. Since you have arrived at a safe place, don't go back to take risks. Without Mr. Jarrod, I can't live, even with the child. He has always been struggling alone, and this time, in order to save you, he even hurt himself. Right now, he must be very weak. If Aaron finds out that Mr. Jarrod has helped you deal with him, I can't imagine what will happen to Mr. Jarrod. I don't have any other hopes in my life. I just want to die with him. That's enough. So don't try to persuade me. I'll walk my own path. Otherwise, even if it was arranged by Mr. Jarrod, I wouldn't accept it. "

Hearing that, Samuel and Nicole were impressed by Amelia.

"Amelia, there's nothing you can do when you go back alone. You might even become Jarrod's weakness. If you don't go back, Aaron might just punish Jarrod out of anger, but if you go back, Jarrod will surrender for you and the child. Do you want that?"

Hearing that, Amelia was a little hesitant. Nicole continued, "I know you're worried about Jarrod, and we're worried about him too. But if you go back, it will only inflict more pain on Jarrod. I don't think it's necessary. To love him does not mean to die together with him. Sometimes waiting is also a way of love."

Amelia looked at Nicole. As she listened to what Nicole said, more tears gushed out of her eyes.

"I'm just scared. I'm afraid I'll never see him again. I'm afraid that I won't be by his side when he needs me the most. None of you know that Mr. Jarrod is afraid of the dark. He's afraid of being alone. We haven't been apart since we were 18 years old. Without me around, I'm afraid he won't be able to sleep at night. I...."

Nicole quickly stepped forward and hugged Amelia. Nicole whispered, "It will be fine. We just need to wait. I believe Samuel will think of a way to bring Jarrod out. They are brothers. Jarrod suffered a lot in the past, but that's when Samuel didn't know about Jarrod's existence. Now that we know, we won't turn a blind eye to him. Amelia, believe us. Believe that we can bring Jarrod back to you safe and sound, okay?"

Amelia couldn't help but cry softly in Nicole's arms.

"Please, don't give up on Mr. Jarrod. You are his last warmth and sunshine."

What she said set off a storm in Samuel's heart.

"I will."

Samuel originally wanted to stay with Nicole, but after hearing what Amelia said, he couldn't wait for another second.

He wouldn't allow Jarrod to risk his own life to protect him.

Samuel recalled Jarrod's face and smile in his mind. This was the first time he felt that having such a big brother was not bad.

Seeing Amelia crying in Nicole's arms, Samuel turned around and walked out.

He really needed to do something.
