Sir Ares, Goodnight novel (Jay Ares and Rose)
Chapter 2147

"Can you please stop asking, Sir Ares?" Baby Zetty's voice sounded choked up.

Jay stood up tremblingly. There was an inexplicably unbearable feeling in his heart. It was a kind of anxiety and irritability that could not be erased even after quite some time.

"Okay. I'll not push you for an answer. Once you're willing to open up to me, just let me know, alright?" Jay's tone was no longer aggressive. On the contrary, it carried a sense of gentle tolerance and understanding.

Baby Zetty nodded at him.

Standing in front of Baby Zetty, Jay looked at her face carefully for the first time.

Despite her long and white hair, her old face could not conceal her once beautiful and flawless features from when she was younger. Then, he noticed Angeline's shadow on her face.

Jay's heart started throbbing violently.

He finally understood why she had been so against him calling her 'grandma' when they first met.

Baby Zetty curled up into a ball, too terrified to look at him. She was akin to a helpless child.

"I'll take Mr. Boye's ashes for you. You and Gale should leave Sacred Land." Jay kept having a feeling that the danger ahead was too risky and uncertain. How could he be willing to let her drag her aged body along as they made the long and difficult journey?

Baby Zetty staggeringly stood up and protested. "All of you won't be able to get out of Sacred Land without m e."

Zayne also felt that Jay's decision was too reckless. He stood up and objected, saying, "She's right. If Granny Winter hadn't been with us on this journey, we would've died several times by now. Sir Ares, we can't live without Granny Winter. This decision of yours will kill all of us."

Jay only wanted to protect Baby Zetty. Seeing her enduring such a long and arduous journey, coupled with Baby Zetty's humbleness in not daring to confront him about her matters, Jay felt nothing but heartache.

Her body as well as her soul were suffering a pain that no one else could understand.

How could Jay still only care about his own safety? He just wanted to send Baby Zetty to a safer place at all costs.

Jay said overbearingly, "This is an order." 1

Baby Zetty was so anxious that she extended her hands to pull on Jay's in a hurry. When her dry and wrinkled hands grabbed Jay's hands tightly, his heart seemed to have been stabbed by a knife. Baby Zetty said, "Sir Ares, Andy and Grayson are almost on their last breaths because of the poison. When the time comes, there won't be anything else I can do even if I want to save them. They're afflicted with a kind of witch poison. Once the incubation period ends and the infectious period arrives, it'll be catastrophic."

Jay's pupils were filled with a light of admiration toward Baby Zetty.

He truly had not expected that in a mere few years, Baby Zetty would have mastered Mr. Boye's miraculous medical skills.

She was now a descendant of a witch doctor. Not only was her art of healing superb, but she also had the broad aspiration of helping the world. Jay was extremely proud of her achievements. However, this pride he felt was not able to make him happy. Baby Zetty's current old appearance was weighing on Jay's heart akin to a mountain, making him feel utterly suffocated.

Baby Zetty repeatedly pleaded with him, "Let me stay, Sir Ares. This is also my mission as a healer."

Jay tried to endure the grief in his heart and nodded.

"Winter, if you're struggling, you have to tell me," Jay exhorted.

"Okay," Baby Zetty said in high spirits.

Since they could not stay in such a place for a long time, Jay and the others were preparing themselves to leave in the middle of the night.

Although everyone was very careful, the other party still managed to discover their movements. Some of them exclaimed, "They're running away!"

In a short while, torches were lit all over and there were bright lights everywhere.

A group of people surrounded Jay and the others.
