"Are you serious about this trip?" Spirit asked Nagid, seeking clarification.Nagid nodded in response."But why the Netherlands of all places?" Spirit questioned further. "You could have gone anywhere, so why there?""We do not have any dealings with them," Spirit continued, trying to understand the reasoning behind Nagid's hasty decision.Just a few weeks ago, Nagid had asked Spirit to locate a man, and now he wanted to go to the Netherlands, leaving Spirit and Nathan surprised by the sudden change of plans."What about the man you asked me to find?" Spirit inquired, wanting to know how that situation would be handled.Nagid was starting to get annoyed by the barrage of questions. "I told you to find him, and you've already done your part," he replied tersely. "Now, can I pack in peace?"Spirit realized he had been pestering Nagid with too many questions and regretted it. He knew Nagid was a man of action, not words. He wouldn't make a move without knowing the potential outcomes.Nag
She closed her eyes, bracing herself for the worst. However, to her surprise, she heard the sound of gunshots, yet neither she nor the child in her arms were hurt. Opening her eyes, she was greeted with a stunning sight—the individuals who had been poised to end their lives now lay lifeless on the ground.Had backup assistance arrived? Anna wondered. She glanced over her shoulder, and to her shock, she saw the person she couldn't get out of her mind standing there. What was he doing here? Nagid gazed at her with his customary calm demeanor. Anna couldn't fathom the reasons behind his sudden and drastic decisions, but she knew one thing for certain—he had come to save her and the child from the men who had intended to harm them.Anna wanted to tell Nagid to leave, as his life was also in danger. She had witnessed the cruelty of these people and knew they would stop at nothing to achieve their goals. Before she could utter a word, Nagid grabbed her hand and swiftly began running, the chi
Anna stood there in shock.It felt warm and congenial, unlike anything she had ever felt before.Regardless, who could it be?Were they one of those groups after their lives?Or wait, could it be Nagid?If it was him, it would explain the butterflies in her stomach.She was about to respond when the person suddenly sprinted out of the room.What the?Just then, another person entered with a fire torch in his hand.Nagid?If he had just entered, it meant it wasn't him before.Anna felt uneasy. If it wasn't Nagid, then who was it?She just hoped it wasn't one of those groups trying to take advantage of them.Nagid didn't understand why she was fuming the moment he entered."Do I have something on my face?" he asked, wanting to know what exactly her problem was.Anna didn't know how to tell him that she had just been kissed by someone she didn't even know.This was a stranger.How was she going to explain it to him?He would probably find joy in her misfortune.No, she wasn't going to giv
He sat with his back facing the door, focusing on carefully placing the shirt on the child. As Anna entered the room, she saw this scene unfolding before her.She didn't need to look closely to know that he was back. The memory of the kiss lingered in his mind, but he shook his head to clear it.Anna noticed the child's adorable pair of eyes as she approached. Trying to give her space, Nagid shifted to allow Anna to get closer to the child."You're awake," Anna said, smiling as she gently touched the child's hair."You're the angel who saved me, right?" the child asked.Anna smiled and nodded. "I was only doing what anyone else would have done.""But where are your parents?" Anna inquired.The child suddenly became quiet, and the atmosphere in the room grew tense. Neither Nagid nor Anna knew what was happening, nor did they consider the possibility that it could be related to the child."They burned them along with grandma," the child uttered, tears welling up in her eyes as she strugg
They suddenly became alert, realizing the need to avoid falling prey to enemies.Nagid positioned himself near the door, prepared for any potential intrusion.Anna made sure to keep the child safely out of harm's way.The footsteps of the approaching individuals grew nearer.Both of them remained on high alert.Just then, the door swung open.Taking advantage of the opportunity, Nagid launched an attack. He aimed a slow and deliberate kick at his opponent, but the people counterattacked swiftly. Nagid aimed for a kick to the face, expecting his adversary to fall, but he dodged by lifting his hands and struck Nagid in the stomach.A sound echoed as Nagid lifted his leg, preparing for his next move.Surprisingly, his opponent abruptly stopped and pulled his leg back, causing Nagid to stumble.Just as his opponent was about to strike again, Nagid lifted his leg to retaliate, but then..."Edward!" Anna exclaimed.Both parties ceased their hostilities."Anna!" Edward called out, making his
Nagid struggled to get the child off him but was unsuccessful. He even had to clean her himself, as she refused to be touched by anyone else. Though irritated, he kept quiet about it. The child insisted on being close to him, even when he wanted to sleep. This surprised Nagid since the child hadn't been like this when Anna was around but suddenly became attached to him after she left.Finally, when the child fell asleep, Nagid placed her on his bed in the rented house in Belarus. He then attended to his work, but he couldn't shake off the feeling of the child's presence.Looking at her, he felt unsure about what to do with her. The child asked to be picked up, but Nagid ignored her, stating that he had a lot of work to do. However, the child mischievously climbed onto his lap, surprising him.Fed up with the situation, Nagid stopped his work, took the child to the table, and faced her with a cold look. He demanded an explanation for her behavior, but the child shook her head. When aske
Charles looked at his master as he continued to enjoy his tea, showing no intention of going to find the young mistress.It had been two days since they received the news about the young mistress being missing, yet the old Marshal didn't seem bothered. He simply told them that she would call on her own.This was the first time Charles had seen the old man show no concern for the safety of the young mistress. He couldn't help but worry. What if something happened to her?"Master, are we not going to find the young mistress?" Charles couldn't wait any longer and asked.The old Marshal, still sipping his tea, asked in response, "Why would I do that?""But it was reported that she has been missing for a day. And it's been two days now with no news about her," Charles explained.The old Marshal gently placed his cup down and looked at Charles. "Do you think so little of my granddaughter?" he asked."No, but she..." Charles began, but the old Marshal raised his hand to stop him."If I go aft
Nathan rode to the hospital, still puzzled by the hidden things in the world that remained unseen by others. As he stood in the traffic, he noticed a red sports car approaching. Without giving it much thought, he remained at the intersection, ready to speed off when the light turned green. However, another car suddenly crossed his path, forcing him to stop abruptly."What the..." Nathan exclaimed in surprise.The driver of the car got out, revealing that it was a woman. She approached Nathan's window, visibly upset about the scratch on her car."Damn, you just scratched my baby," she complained. "Don't you know how to navigate a car?"Their sudden stop caused other drivers to honk and express their frustration, urging them to clear the road.Nathan stepped out of his car, facing the angry woman named Bella. She wasted no time in berating him for crossing her path."Well, I wasn't the one who first came and crossed another person's path," Nathan retorted. "If we're talking about who doe
