Daddy, don't flirt

Chapter 398: So This is What the Ring is for

Lingering in thoughts, Jamie has moved to the bed and sees Ryan Jack take out two pills from the box. After a moment of being stared at, Ryan, with a sophisticated look, withdraws the pills and helps the person up from the bed.

A flash of shock passes through Jamie’s eyes, and instantly calm is restored.

“Annie, wake up. Your brother is back.” Ryan tenderly speaks to the sleepy Anna Pork and softly pats on her face.

Anna Pork?

Then he must be……

After some time, the lethargic Anna makes a frown, and slowly opens her eyes. When she sees Ryan, she surprisedly holds his arms, “Brother, you’re back?”

Ryan lovingly rubs her messy hair, opens the box of medicine, and takes two pills, “Come, take this first. You will get well soon.”

When Anna sees these two pills, she flinches a little unconsciously. But under Ryan’s concerned looks, she hesitates no more, puts the pills in her mouth, and swallows it directly.

“This medicine will be the last one. You don’t need to rely on his medicine anymore.” The shackle in Ryan’s heart for many years has finally been lifted. He looks at her guiltily.

Anna shakes her head to mean that she doesn’t mind. But when she looks up, she is shocked, “You, why are you here?”

She refers to Jamie Moore.

Jamie blinks twice, looks at Anna with a slight confusion, and says, “You know me?”

Anna becomes speechless for a moment to her question. She turns to look at Ryan and back to Jamie, with a strange expression on her face.

“Jamie has lost her memory, so she can’t remember the things in the past.” Ryan explains.

“Lost her memory?” Anna’s eyes brighten. Does that mean she has forgotten what happened in the past and what she did to her?

Anna eases back a little. Since she hears it from Ryan, it must be true. The grudge when she first sees Jamie has dissolved as well.

Before everything happens, she is actually quite fond of Jamie Moore. If she would have a sister-in-law, she hopes it would be her and not someone else.

“Hi, I’m Anna Pork. Could you be my sister-in-law?” Anna asks Jamie very straightforwardly. Since that time her arm tendon was busted by Mochen Si and Jack More purposely held back the medicine every time, her body has been weak still and her voice faint.

Being asked directly by someone whom she has never met once or might have met before to be her sister-in-law……

Jamie thinks the world is a bit messy.

But Ryan having a sister does surprises her. Does that mean what he did was for his sister?

“You should know me. I and your brother are only acquaintance.”

Acquaintance means they’re not even friends.

Ryan’s eyes dim a little. Has he become an acquaintance rather than a good friend to her?

“It’s okay. Feeling can be nurtured. How would you know if you won’t fall for my brother in the future?” Anna puts on a lively smile, trying to lighten up the mood.

“Ugh……” Jamie doesn’t expect her saying that. Suddenly, the handsome face of Mochen Si emerges in her mind, a bit puzzling.

“It’s alright you lost memory. My brother’s medical skills are superb. He will definitely help you regain memory. Don’t worry.” Anna persuades with kind-heartedly, not knowing her words were like knives stabbing into the heart of Ryan Jack.

Why on earth would he help Jamie regain memory.

Jamie purses her lips and pays little attention to Anna’s words. Hearing her mention of Ryan’s medical skills, she sizes up her and asks strangely, “If you brother is so good at doctoring, why would he need to take medicine from that man?”

That man refers to Jack Moore.

Anna Pork makes a surprised sound but doesn’t know what to follow up.

“He poisoned Annie. The chemicals of the poison were mixed by me. It was originally designed specifically for someone. The composition is many and complicated, much more than any other poisons I’ve made.” Ryan Jack swallows his sobs and voices the explanation.

“I’ve only mixed two portions of this poison and was reluctant to make anymore. But I didn’t expect that Jack Moore stole the list of composition and took the only two portions – one for that person, the other he used it on Annie.”

Ryan’s eyes drop; he dares not to meet the eye contact from Anna’s solace or Jamie’s curious doubt.

Because the first portion of poison has been used on her mother, Mira Night.

Without the composition list, they have taken the poison, and Ryan has no method to prepare an antidote. But who would have thought the result? Jack Moore gave someone the list to make a medicine that counters the poison.

Ryan has tried many times to detoxify Mira Night but to no avail.

He’s also tried extracting the blood of Adele Gilbert to analyse the composition of the poison. An antidote was made but once taken by Adele the toxicity increased.

He could have refused Jack Moore’s spiteful demand. But when Adele was in his hand, if he didn’t answer to him, he would have exposed the information of Adele to those people who participated in the Gilbert family massacre.

The only task given to Night. 9 by the master of the Gilbert family is to protect the last blood of the Gilbert family with his own life.

But, it was him who pushed Adele Gilbert to a dead end.

The last mistake he made was punished on his only sister.

Maybe this is karma.

“Since you made the poison, why can’t you prepare an antidote?” Jamie is puzzled, staring at him.

“It’s not that easy.” Anna says, “If he could, he would have done it long ago. We wouldn’t have been manipulated by other people.”

Ryan nods silently, tightens his grip, and dares not to look at Jamie’s eyes.

BANG, WHAM, KAPOW –

Noises come from the doorway, drawing them to look towards it. Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

Jamie looks at the doorway, feeling a bad omen rising from within. She takes a few steps to open the door but is blocked by a hollow iron door.

Jamie pressed her lips and throws a kick at the door, but the door only returns a dull sound due to its thickness.

“What’s going on?” Jamie turns to the equally astonished sibling. Ryan Jack startles for a few seconds then bursts into laughter. He stands up, walks over to Jamie, and sees the people waiting outside through the hollow iron door.

It’s his people.

“I didn’t expect Jack Moore to use the Myth Ring so quickly and swallow my subordinates.” Ryan says emotionlessly without a tone of joy and anger.

But Jamie takes in a deep chilling breath. In this way, does it mean they’re completely controlled by Jack Moore?

“Aren’t these your people? Why are they answering to Jack Moore?”

“Before the Myth Ring appears, they’re indeed my people and loyal to me. But after the ring appears, these people only answer to the master of the Myth Ring.”

Jamie comes to a sudden realization. “So, this is what the ring is for” is visibly expressed on her face.
