Bab 419: I wonder if you really love Abigail!

As the seconds ticked by, Jasper's grip loosened, his own awareness returning. An awkward silence settled in the room.

Jasper scratched his brow and looked left and right while Abigail dropped her eyes on her lap.

"How is Papa?" she asked slowly, breaking the silence.

"Um… His condition is improving. Don't worry. He will contact you soon. We are on a mission to clean up the moles among us. Once I find the source of this threat, I swear, I'll destroy it."

There was more to his words—a steely determination that hinted at a greater purpose. As Jasper continued, his tone shifted, the fire of his conviction burning brightly. He outlined a mission to root out threats and eliminate the dangers that lurked in the shadows. His words were fiery and full of determination.

Abigail's gaze remained fixed on him, her astonishment growing with every word.
