Yoel’s tone hinted he was starting to panic a little. Melody looked up and told the truth,
“They didn’t know it at first, but they should have figured it out by now.” Just when Yoel was going to let
Melody tell him the whole story, his phone rang, and it was a call from Queen Sage. His heart started to
beat rapidly, and the ringtone was like a death song to him. He tried to steady his hand to pick up the
phone. His voice was also trembling as he said, “Hello.”
On the other side, Sage said coldly, “Did Melody go looking for you?”
Yoel looked at Melody, and she was hinting and gesturing at him. However, he ignored it and admitted,
“Yes, she is right in front of me. She had eaten some sandwiches, two hard-boiled eggs, two hash
browns, and four glasses of orange juice.” Sage did not know what to say. “Where are both of you
now?”
Yoel replied, “Yuriel Mansion.”
Sage squeezed her brows and repeated, “Where? Say it again.” “Yuriel Mansion.” Yoel thought Sage
did not hear him clearly, so he repeated it again. Soon enough, he felt a killing sensation transmitting
over the phone. He quickly explained, “Oh, don’t get it wrong. It had nothing to do with Jace. He knew
nothing.”
After that, he felt he was very innocent as well. “Wait, I have nothing to do with this too. I just woke up
and had my brunch, and she just showed up with her backpack. I didn’t do anything…”
Yoel tried very hard to survive. Sage said with a deep voice, “Look after her. We will be in Nadeem City
around the evening. If Melody runs away or is hurt under your watch before we reach there, I’m going
to hold you accountable for it.”
After Sage finished talking, she hung up the phone without saying goodbye. Many questions popped
into Yoel’s head as he looked at the phone screen. ‘What’s going on? How did I end up taking care of
the kid? I’m not a kindergarten teacher!
However, Melody, who was finally full, did not realize the danger up ahead. Yoel did not know when she
was sitting beside him. She looked at him with her big round eyes and said, “We have two to three
hours of free time. What should we do?”
Yoel was speechless.
Jace squeezed his brows tightly together. “Again. Who went to Yuriel Mansion?”
Zayne answered, “Miss Sage’s niece. The little girl from Mostal, Melody. Some people call her the Little
Magic Doctor.”
“She is here for Yoel? All the way here?” Jace was shocked.
Zayne tried not to laugh and said, “Yes. Yoel requested for you to save him fast. Miss Sage, Dr.
Samuel, Luther, and Mister Wayne are flying here in their private jet. They will be landing at
Nadeem City Airport very soon.” Jace’s eyes suddenly sparkled as he looked up. “You said Sage is
coming too?” Zayne nodded, “Yes!”.
“Then what are you waiting for?” said Jace as he was already walking out of the room.
“Get the car ready. We are going to the airport.” Zayne followed quickly and said, “But you have a lunch
meeting later…” “Cancel it,” Jace said without hesitating. Zayne was helpless. “Yes….”
‘I should have known it would turn out this way.’ Sitting on the plane, Sage was dazed as she looked at
the familiar scenery. It was just two months ago when she visited Nadeem City, but why did it feel like a
century ago? After all, she had thought that she would never come back to this city when she left the
last time. Unexpectedly, she came back again. In addition, she did not expect to see Jace standing still
in front of her when she got off the plane. It was like he had been standing there and waiting for her for
a long time.
