Chapter 843

Jace was caught off guard by Sage suddenly throwing herself at him, and fell back a little
but he was able to hold her in his arms tightly.

He froze a little when Sage begged for him to stay. He was suddenly reminded of that fateful year when
he carried her in his arms as they walked out of the woods.

It was as if everything happened right in front of his eyes again.

It seemed like even after so many years, neither of them forgot the time when they first met.

He still remembered the young girl who stood right next to him as they fought the enemies; he also rem
embered how she felt soft and warm in his arms as she smiled widely at him, asking for his name.

Those moments were all precious to Jace.

Jace came back to his senses. Patting her on her back, Jace comforted her, “I‘m right here, not going a
nywhere. I‘m right here...”

Sage held onto him tightly. Like someone who finally found water after days of stumbling across the de
sert; like she drowned and gripped onto her last straw of hope, not wanting to let

1. go.

Sage remembered Jekyll‘s sinister and cold smile; the piercing pain of the needles that were stabbed in
to her flesh; and how her dignity was stomped all over....

All of these vanished when he showed up.

Getting through the heavily guarded place, he rushed toward him between
the crossfires and tossed her a gun. She remembered that he was a skilled marksman, his moves swift



and clean as he took down the enemies one by one.

At the end of it all, she remembered using up all the energy left in her as she fell into his arms. Looking
up at him, she saw his
perfectly angled jawline, and that stunning side profile of his as he said to her in his low and hoarse voi
ce:

‘I‘m Jace Yuriel.’

Sage remembered clearly she
shivered in the cold but for some reason, there was a warmth feeling welling up in her chest. Just like n
ow. She shivered but in his arms, she was able to calm down.



Those horrifying flashbacks somehow seem to fade out one by one. Sage inched away from him slowly
. Looking up, she met his deep blue eyes that intently stared Jace called out to her softly, “Sage...” Befo
re he could finish his sentence, Sage leaned in and pressed her lips against his. Holding his face in her
hands, Sage started kissing him passionately as if she wanted to suck all the warmth out of him.

Jace was startled and overwhelmed.

However, almost immediately, he closed his eyes and started receiving her kisses.

He felt a numbing pain yet fuzzy feeling pricking at his heart.

He was never the one to look for love. However, when he realized his feelings for her. it was already too

Hence, there was no way that he would let this precious chance slip away.

Jace felt his body going soft and he fell backward with his back on the sofa.



Sage held his hand in hers as their fingers intertwined tightly together. The door was
suddenly pushed open. “Sage..” Spinning the car keys in his hand, Yoel walked into the room excitedly.

He covered his eyes and stuttered, “Sorry, oh my gosh, I
am so, so sorry... I didn‘t think that... This is too sudden... This is all too sudden... I didn‘t see anything. P

Grumbling and murmuring, Yoel quickly retreated out of the room. Yoel felt his heart beating on him like

And he wondered if he would be killed for seeing what he should not have.

At the same time, Louis walked toward Yoel with a stack of documents in his hand. “Sir, what are you do
out here?”
