Jocelyn seemed to understand why Aren was so good at martial arts.

As the only successor of the Brown family, if he wasn’t trained, he would probably have long become dust.

Wealthy and famous were what outsiders would describe him, but they did not know what he was shouldering.

Jocelyn looked up at Aren’s calm face. In the face of such a dangerous scene, he did not look panicked or uneasy, as if it was just a day to day occurrence.

“What is there to be afraid of? Your life is much more valuable than mine. I am just a pitiful creature who doesn’t have parents who love me.” Jocelyn remembered her own situation and smiled self-deprecatingly. “The only thing I am afraid of is being a burden to you and getting you into trouble.”
Aren was not happy that it took Jocelyn so long to answer his question.

Aren’s expression darkened slightly as he looked at Jocelyn with a sharp gaze. “If you’re afraid, you can just tell me.”

Looking at the look in Aren’s eyes, Jocelyn knew that he got her wrong, She was about to explain when something interrupted her.

Aren’s phone suddenly rang.

He took out his phone. It was Luke. “Master, where are you? The location is suddenly cut off. We’re at the place where the truck exploded.”

Aren said calmly, “Find a way to bypass that truck. We’re on the grass by the road.”

Luke hung up and rushed over.

Aren hung up the phone and ignored Jocelyn. He stood up and looked at the roaring fire with a dark gaze.

There were a few times when Jocelyn wanted to explain herself, but in the end, she swallowed her words.

Never mind if he misunderstood her, because she thought their relationship wasn’t that close anyway.

Luke soon found Aren and Jocelyn. He was relieved to see that they were both okay. He talked to Aren as he led them forward.

Jocelyn followed behind Aren and Luke. When a police officer heard Aren was also there, he came up and greeted him.

After getting into the car, Jocelyn still could not calm down, especially after hearing the conversation between Aren and Luke. Although she could not understand it, she could understand the seriousness of the matter.
Just like Aren had said, the enemy was already prepared. They were waiting for Aren to make a mistake so that they could make a move.

Jocelyn did not know who the enemy was, but from the conversation between Aren and Luke, she could tell that the enemy was not easy to deal with. He seemed to be Aren’s archenemy.
Tired, Jocelyn closed her eyes and leaned back in her chair to rest.

Aren and Luke stopped talking and quickly drove away. As for the car that Aren came with, Luke had already sent someone to scrap it.

After the shock and vomiting just now, Jocelyn was already weak and sleepy.

She narrowed her eyes and, as she stole a glance Aren beside her, her sleepiness disappeared immediately.

She quickly stood up and grabbed his arm. “Aren, you’re injured.”

He must have been injured when he carried her and fell to the ground just now. His arm was stained with blood, but it was hard to see because of the dark shirt he was wearing.
However, he acted as if he was completely unhurt. At the thought of this, Jocelyn became nervous.

Aren just glanced at her indifferently. “Just a bruise, not a big deal.”

“There is a lot of blood flowing down your arm. How can it be just a bruise? Let me bandage it for you. Let’s go to the hospital later.” As Jocelyn spoke, she quickly took a tissue and carefully wiped the blood on Aren’s arm. Then, she took a clean towel from the car and put some ointment on him. After
bandaging him, the bleeding was temporarily stopped.

Jocelyn breathed a sigh of relief. She glanced at his back and found that his back was covered in blood as well..

She said worriedly, “Your back is injured too. Take off your clothes and let me help you.”

Aren glanced at her coldly. “No need.”

“But—”

“Twon’t die.”

With that, Aren closed his eyes and leaned against the side, ignoring Jocelyn.

Jocelyn was at a loss for words. Looking at Aren’s cold face, she felt a little sad.

She thought that after all this, her relationship with Aren would get better a little. Now, it seemed that she was deluding herself.

However, it might be for the better. She and Aren were from two different worlds, so it was best if they did not have a deep relationship. After all, no one knew when they would part..
