When the Flame of Love Fades (Sierra) novel Chapter 68

Chapter 68 The Emotional Card

Jonathan had been able to find Dickson, so naturally, he knew who had taken him.

Understanding what she wanted to do, Jonathan said, “I’ll handle this. Stay out of it?

Sierra shook her head. “No, don’t get involved. This has nothing to do with you.”

“What do you mean? So only you’re allowed to stand up for what’s right?” Jonathan’s tone was teasing, but there wasn’t a hint of amusement in his eyes. He was irritated, and this feeling was unfamiliar to him.

On the surface, he seemed mild–mannered, but in truth, he was a cold and indifferent person.

I Sierra hadn’t stepped in, he wouldn’t have cared about Dickson’s situation. He wouldn’t have even given it a second thought

He had seen too much of this kind of thing. To him, people like Dickson were no different from ants.

And divines didn’t concern themselves with the lives of ants. After all, ants weren’t even worth noticing.

Sierra knew none of this. She simply didn’t want Jonathan to get too involved.

To her, Jonathan was someone who should be entirely devoted to research, pouring all his energy into academia.

She didn’t want his life to change because of this.

“Mr. Yeager, I don’t want you to be involved!”

It was all too filthy!

Understanding the unspoken meaning behind Sierra’s words, Jonathan wanted to laugh but found that he couldn’t. He only

felt mocked.

This clueless girl actually thinks I’m a good person. How ridiculous.

A mischievous thought crossed his mind. Should I tell Sierra the truth and let her see what kind of person I really am

Just then, Sierra’s phone suddenly rang. Seeing the familiar caller ID, her expression turned cold. She answered, and Bradley’s voice came through the line. “Sierra?”

Bradley seemed surprised that she had picked up so quickly. After a brief pause, he said, “Can you come back? We have something to discuss with you.”

“Have you made up your mind? Are you agreeing to the conditions I proposed that day?”

There was a long silence on the other end of the line before Bradley finally replied, “Yes. We’ll talk when you get here.”

With that, he hung up in a hurry.

Listening to the dial tone, Sierra curled her lips into a smirk, her smile growing wider. She waved her phone at Jonathan and said with a grin, “See? I told you they’d agree.”

Jonathan found her smile unsettling. Unable to hold back, he said, “If you don’t want to smile, then don’t.”

Sierra’s expression stiffened for a moment before she replied, “I really am happy.”

She had long predicted what choice the Xander family would make.

She was never fooled by the façade they had put up before. She knew that when true danger arose, she would always be the one abandoned.

She quickly checked in with the doctors and nurses, asking them to keep an eye on Dickson. Then she went to Lily’s room to tell her about Dickson, asking her to check on him later.

Finished

Once everything was settled, she took a deep breath and turned to Jonathan. “Mr. Yeager, I have to go back now. I’ve troubled

these past

few days. Once everything is resolved, I’ll treat you to a meal.”

With that, she turned to leave. Jonathan watched her for a moment before following after her, saying flatly, “I’ll take you back.”
