Chapter 270: Guardian
"How is she?" Keira asked John when she visited Mara’s ward.
Mara was sleeping soundly. "She does not let anyone near her except me..." John answered with a sigh of irritation.
Mara never allowed him to leave her. She would only let the doctors do some checks or procedures on her if John was with her.
"Hmm, it looks like she likes and trusted you, John," Keira concluded. with a mischievous grin. Then she added, "She is really such a cute girl, don’t you think? She wanted to explore the world outside their island."
Being the playful girl that she is, Keira could not help but tease John some more as she continued, "I bet she’s just a year younger than me. Or maybe a few years younger. But you could see, from all angles, that her body is already so perfectly curved. Don’t you agree, John?"
Keira giggled when she saw John’s face reddening from her teasing.
She then sighed and looked intently at John as she said, "You’ve been hiding well behind our family for so long, John. Do you plan to continue to do this? Because if you do, I think I have the perfect assignment for you..."
John scratched his head. He was not sure if hiding was the right word. His father had uprooted him from their country and put him under Field Marshal Chan’s protection so he would be safe from the political chaos that was currently happening in his home country.
Everything was confidential. The Chan Family, including Keira, was the only one who knew his story.
