Chapter 1299: Chapter 1295: I Will Protect Him Well

"On top of that, Uncle Damien felt guilty about this matter, and after Lady Delilah made a fuss a few times, he didn’t continue investigating further."

"I’m telling you all this to make you understand that even my family might not be completely safe for you."

"In the future, never go see them alone again. If there’s anything going on, just tell me, and I’ll accompany you."

It took Joanna quite a while to recover from the shock.

Back then, the person who had taken Jeremy away was Lady Delilah.

And Lady Delilah even planned to get rid of him.

"Were you scared?" Ashton reached out and pulled the girl beside him into his arms, gently patting her back, softly saying, "Don’t be afraid, Jeremy is very lucky and has a strong life. Since he escaped the danger back then, nothing will happen to him in the future."

"Besides, he’s my family now too, and I’ll protect him."

"Jeremy..."

Joanna suddenly looked up, grabbing the collar of Ashton’s shirt, her eyes filled with urgency: "Ashton, Mom just said she wants someone to take Jeremy away. We need to hurry and find him."

Lady Delilah wanted Jeremy dead back then.

Now, knowing that he’s still alive in this world, she certainly won’t let it go.

If they let her people take Jeremy away...

Joanna’s face instantly turned pale, all color drained from her cheeks.

"Ashton, you have to save Jeremy. If anything happens to him, I, I..." Tears uncontrollably flowed down, her eyes filled with panic and fear, gripping Ashton’s arm tightly, and she was unable to speak due to her crying.

She couldn’t lose Jeremy.

She absolutely couldn’t lose Jeremy.

If anything were to happen to Jeremy...

Joanna couldn’t even bear to think about it. She was so scared that her whole body trembled, tears wetting her cheeks.

"Jeremy will be fine," Ashton, seeing her cry like that, held her tighter in his arms, wiping away her tears, "Since I’ve found out about all these things Lady Delilah has done, do you really think I wouldn’t worry about Jeremy’s safety? I’ve already arranged for someone to protect him in secret. Don’t worry, no one will be able to take him away."

"Alright, don’t cry anymore. Look, you’ve cried like a little kitten."

"If you’re still worried about Jeremy, let’s go find him now."

Joanna’s sobbing stopped.

She looked up, her black eyes covered with a layer of mist, her eyes red from crying: "You, you’ve arranged for someone to secretly protect Jeremy?"

"Mhm." Ashton lovingly wiped her tears away, "Of course, I know how important Jeremy is to you. I wouldn’t ignore someone you care about so much. Besides, Jeremy is my cousin. No matter what, I should protect him well."

"Don’t cry anymore, okay?"

The girl had cried until her eyes were red, her nose was red, and her face was wet.

Ashton felt heartbroken.

"Mhm!" Only after knowing that Ashton had secretly arranged for someone to protect Jeremy did Joanna’s tears stop.

The frightened heart slowly relaxed.

She was truly afraid that something unfortunate would happen to Jeremy.

Terrified beyond words.

Although Jeremy wasn’t related to her by blood, over the years, the two of them had relied on each other for life, and the positions they held in each other’s hearts had long surpassed that of blood relations.

To her, Jeremy was her own brother.
