My Blood 287

Chapter 287 

Scars

A distinct burn scar marked Leon’s arm

Jessica felt a lump in her throat. She thought, I never cry easily, yet right now I’m so overwhelmed that tears nearly escape 

Those lost memories slowly returned, and she finally saw the boy’s face in the raging fire

His face, though blackened by smoke, remained clear, elegant, and handsome

It was him. It truly was him!she thought, stunned

The memories in her mind were finally unearthed, little by little

It was him. He was the one who held her in his arms, feeding her medicine spoon by spoon

He coaxed her softly, saying, Come on, I’ll drink with you. I’ll finish what you don’t, and we’ll share the yucky taste.” 

The medicine she left behind was just the bitter dregs at the bottom of the cup, but he always kept his word. He swallowed every last drop without complaint

Even though what he drank was far more bitter and harder to swallow than hers, he did it with pure delight, simply because his little Jessie had obediently finished her medicine

Back then, Jessica spent her days in a daze, but she was still aware that Leon was often not by her side

Whenever he was gone, she would be gripped by panic and fear, terrified of everyone around her. She refused to take her medicine and wouldn’t even 

eat

Every time Leon returned, it was always in a rush. Sometimes, Jessica thought she caught the metallic tang of blood on him, but she felt too unwell to understand or pay attention

He would come back to feed her medicine, spoon her porridge, and lull her to sleep. He always held her hands until she drifted off. Once, she woke up in the middle of the night and, not seeing him, burst into frightened tears. Leon came to her side immediately

After that, he kept vigil by her bedside every night. No matter when she woke up, she would always find him sleeping on the chaise lounge nearby

She said, I’ll marry you when I grow up.” 

He must have smiled, gently patting her head as he said, I’ve been waiting for my little Jessica to grow up.” 

Only then did she realize how long he had been waiting for her. So long… 

Jessica closed her eyes briefly to hide the tears welling up in them

Leon remained focused on the raging fire, completely unaware of the emotional turmoil Jessica was experiencing beside him

Soon after, Magnus returned and reported, No suspicious individuals in the perimeter.” 

Watch her! Don’t let her go in!Leon pushed Jessica toward Magnus

With no suspicious individuals around, Leon knew there would be no more attacks using a thunder grenade. Now he could go in to rescue people himself

But Jessica instinctively reached out and grabbed Leon’s sleeve, as if unwilling to let him go

Chapter 287- 

In that split second hesitation, someone rushed in ahead of the others

Garbischt Jessica cried out in alarm, moving to follow him inside

Leon yanked her back forcefully once more

I’ll go in with Garbisch. You’re delicate. The smoke and flames will scorch your skin. Stay put!Then Leon pushed Jessica toward Magnus and strode inside in one long step

Ms. Yates, forgive my impertinence!Magnus seized Jessica’s wrist. In that emergency, even if it meant overstepping boundaries, he had to stop her from rushing in

Though with Jessica’s martial prowess, Magnus knew he might not be able to hold her back for long, but every moment of delay counted

Magnus, you can let go. I won’t act rashly,Jessica said calmly

Magnus remained hesitant

Jessica said, The assassins might still be nearby. Rather than waste time restraining me here, let’s search for any clues they may have left behind.” 

Magnus stared at her, momentarily stunned by her abrupt composure

However, Jessica had indeed regained complete composure. With a swift twist of her wrist, she broke free from Magnus’s grip. In one fluid motion, she pushed off the ground and soared gracefully toward the surrounding high walls
