When the Flame of Love Fades (Sierra) novel Chapter 363

Chapter 363 No Way to Back Down

“You’re worried I’ll get dragged into this too?” Sierra asked.

“…Yes.”

Johnathan nodded. If he hadn’t been worried about Sierra, he wouldn’t have laid everything out like this.

“Sierra, you’re another me. Your talent in this field is something many people envy.”

He also knew Sierra’s nature – she was kind.

If her research was ever used for something terrible, she wouldn’t be able to accept it.

Sierra pressed her lips together and stayed silent for a while.

She understood. But there was no way she could explain this to anyone else. She couldn’t convince Professor Martin and the others.

She glanced at Johnathan. He immediately understood her concerns.

“Sierra, leave the project.”

Johnathan knew it would be hard, but he was genuinely worried.

Because this incident somehow involved Quinn too, and he didn’t know where the trap lay.

Johnathan had never been this cautious before. If it were just him, he wouldn’t quit. He would use this as bait to dig out the truth.

But since it involved Sierra, he didn’t dare gamble.

Sierra looked at him for a long moment before she said, “No. The experiment continues. Tomorrow, I’ll tell the professor we’re resuming. I’m not quitting, Johnathan. This is a chance.”

What Johnathan had thought of, Sierra had too.

Since they couldn’t be sure, they might as well force certainty.

The enemy was hiding while they were out in the open. Investigating in secret would be harder than using this as bait.

“Si–er–ra.”

Johnathan stared at her, disapproving. “I can’t let you take that risk.”

“But I want to.”

“Unless I never step into a lab again,” Sierra said quietly.

Finished

Of course Johnathan understood that. Rationally, he knew she was right. Emotionally, he couldn’t accept it.

He couldn’t let Sierra get destroyed.

He didn’t care what happened to himself but Sierra, he had to protect.

The words stuck in his throat, but finally he forced them out.

“Sierra, leave the field for now.”

At least until this was over.

This time, Sierra didn’t answer. She just stared at Johnathan with dark, unreadable eyes.

“Sierra…

Neither of them was willing to back down.

“Some things, they have to work out themselves,” Draven said. “And this situation isn’t easy.”

If Johnathan’s theory was right, Sierra could become the next target. Worse Wynn family backing her.

If something happened to her, no one could save her.
