Chapter 1689 There Were Plenty of Fish in the Sea

Lucas was perceptive and smart.

He thought about it briefly and understood the meaning behind it.

“You want me to go get Uncle Jacob. And you want me to be isolated there as well, am I right?”

“Yes.”

Morty realized that Lucas got what he meant, he then said, “Well, the people who sent Jacob back
were working under Steven. Your father and I are brothers, and we never contact Steven. I cannot go
in person, and there are not many in the army who know Steven. But, you know him. Not only that you
know him, but you guys are also quite close. Hence, you are the most suitable person for it. The
isolation area is also quite hidden. We need to jam the signals and block micro searches. You are an
expert in this. And with all the reasons I’ve presented, you are our best choice.”

Lucas’ brows burrowed even deeper.

“Hey, stop frowning. Frowning at such a young age, you will grow old real fast.”

Morty thought that Lucas looked more and more like Samuel.

Lucas answered a bit annoyedly, “Silver Fox can go too.”

“He needs to take part in the battle overseas.”

“Why?”

Lucas knew that Silver Fox was part of the Sky Group, but Fill didn’t bring Silver Fox with him when he
went. It meant that they didn’t need him. But now, Silver Fox suddenly had to go. This could only mean
one thing. The Sky Group was in trouble and Silver Fox had to go to rescue them.



The Sky Group went to the battlefield for his father’s sake. Could he assume that his father was in
trouble?

Lucas’ heart started beating warily.

Morty knew what Lucas was thinking just by looking at his face. He thought that having such a bright
child around him wasn’t great at all.

He cleared his throat and said, “Your father and Tim went into the battlefield and we lost contact with
them. Fill brought a troop with him to go and save them, but we lost contact with Fill as well. That was
why Silver Fox was getting worried and wanted to head over. But no news doesn’t mean bad news,
does it? I know that you’re worried, but you should know that you have other responsibilities. Instead of
your father and his friends, the casualties are more important right now. It’s important for the country
and its safety if they have any viruses on them. Otherwise, your mother wouldn’t have arranged for
them and not look for your father first thing. Lucas, if there is someone in this world who cares more
about your father than you, it would be your mother. After all, she didn’t go after your father. Doesn’t
that mean that your father is not in that much danger?”

Lucas didn’t say anything, but he knew that what Morty said made sense.

He wasn’t a normal child right now. He had an epaulet, he was a soldier.

Even if he was worried about his parents, he should finish his duties as a soldier first.

“Okay, I’ll go get Uncle Jacob.”

“Okay. I’ll arrange a flight for you, you’ll leave immediately. Joseph will go with you. He could help you.”

“Okay.”

This time, Lucas didn’t say no.



After Lucas left, Morty arranged for two people to be by Emesto’s side and protect him.

The Close family would bring trouble to Country Z as long as they weren’t eradicated.

Morty was frowning deeply when he arrived home. Michele noticed his look and knew that he was
probably worried about work. She couldn’t help but ask, “Daddy, where’s Lucas?”

“He needed to go attend some business. I will be here training you for a bit.”

Morty was always pretty lenient towards his daughter.

Michele was a bit disappointed, but she still nodded and smiled.

Lucas never would’ve thought that he would meet Yasmeen in the isolation area.

Yasmeen was totally different from how she was a few years ago.

Even though she wasn’t an adult yet, she was instructing her subordinates to move the goods
methodically. She looked after the casualties and entered the isolation area. She told the doctor to
examine their bodies and run some blood tests.

Yasmeen felt like a stranger to Lucas.

This serious, humble, and gentle girl … Yasmeen?

The girl who always wanted to fight with him, and the girl who peeped at him when he was in the toilet?

The sunlight shone on Yasmeen. As if she had a golden veil on her, she felt more and more distant and
ethereal.

Lucas didn’t know why, but he hated seeing Yasmeen like this. He felt like she was getting further and
further away from him.



He didn’t even understand what he was feeling.

He hated it when Yasmeen kept following him around. But now that she stopped doing that, he hated it
even more.

He thought about how he misunderstood Yasmeen back then in Country Y. He frowned and walked up
to her. He grabbed her hand and pulled her with him.

“Follow me.”

Yasmeen was taken aback. The guards around her wanted to stop Lucas, but Yasmeen halted them.

She was dumbfounded seeing Lucas holding her hand.

Didn’t he hate her?

Didn’t he hate even having any contact with her?

What was going on?

Yasmeen was still in shock as Lucas brought her far away. They walked towards a quiet place.

Lucas only then realized that he was holding Yasmeen’s hand. He quickly let it go.

“Do you know where this is? Do you think that the isolation area is a fun place to be? You’re still young!
What if there were contagious diseases here and you got exposed to them? Yasmeen, you would need
to be isolated once you are exposed to the viruses, did you know that? And this isn’t the worst part. If
the virus cannot be destroyed in time, you will die. Did you know that?”

Yasmeen was taken aback upon hearing what Lucas said.



Was this his way of trying to care for her?

But she thought about it and figured that it couldn’t be.

Lucas hated her. Why would he care for her?

Yasmeen said in a low voice, “My daddy is the leader of Country Y. If he comes here and something
happens, what will happen to the people of Country Y? I am a princess, and this is my responsibility.
Even if I got the virus, that would be my fate. Lucas, don’t you worry. I’m here for serious business, I
won’t bother you. I, Yasmeen Shaw, swear to God that I won’t do anything bad to you anymore. Our
countries are working together, we are representing our countries. Even though we are still young, I
know that you can understand what I am doing. I just hope that in the coming days, we can work
together. If there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave. It’s quite busy over there.”

She turned around and left after saying that.

She still loved Lucas, but she knew that Lucas didn’t like her.

Her father told her that a girl should save some of her pride. Even if she loved the boy to death, she
couldn’t just throw away her haughtiness and her character’s strength. Not to mention that she was a
princess, she represented her country.

Hence, Yasmeen could only bit her lips and buried her feelings.

She was thinking if Lucas still didn’t like her, she shouldn’t force it anymore.

There were plenty of fish in the sea. There was no need for her to be hung up over one person, right?

She thought about it and felt better after comforting herself that way.
