Chapter 758 Accompany Each Other
But a child's heart was extremely sensitive.
That time, Emmeline was aware that she was the fifth wheel in this world.
Not only didn't she have a biological father, but her biological mother could not take care of her as well. Just like duckweed, she was lost in direction and had nowhere to return.
Now, finally, there was a person who was willing to take her in, buy her good-looking new clothes, and teach her. So, she wanted to grab hold of this opportunity and never let it go.
At the end of the day, no matter how smart she was, she was only a child without a sense of security.
The only way to make her feel secure was to make herself feel that she was not a useless person.
In fact, she didn't want to be a worthless person who would only take without giving anything in return.
On the other hand, Grandpa Farrington could actually see through her thoughts.
He felt sorry yet helpless. Although he disagreed with her way, he also knew that this was the only way to make her feel at ease.
Therefore, he let her be.
In this way, Emmeline lived in the orphanage until she turned 18.
Besides, she and Jara had also stayed by each other's side for nearly ten years.
To Emmeline, those ten years were unforgettable.
Jara thought so too.
Strictly speaking, both of them did not have a home. So in a sense, they were like two entangled roots that shared the same nutrients and grew together.
During those years, other than the late-born Keira and Mrs. Illington, who had come several times, the rest of the Murray Family had never once visited her.
At that time, Emmeline did not hate Keira because she knew that the whole incident had nothing to do with Keira.
In fact, Keira was just a child, and when Emmeline was driven out, she wasn't even born yet.
Therefore, every time Keira came to see her with delicious food, she accepted it happily.
Not only was she willing to accept Keira's kindness, but she was also willing to accept Keira as her sister.
After all, they shared the same mother.
At that time, Keira was still very young, so she didn't understand much about the resentment between adults.
Moreover, she couldn't understand why her sister, Emmeline, stayed in an orphanage instead of her house.
As Keira felt confused, she had also asked a lot of people about it. Even so, no one was willing to tell a kid like her the truth.
Life flew by like running water.
When Emmeline was at the age of eighteen, Grandpa Farrington had passed away.
And two years ago, Jara had left the orphanage.
Sure enough, he was different from Emmeline. He was just temporarily residing here for his studies. Sooner or later, he would leave.
However, Emmeline really regarded this place as her home.
Therefore, she would not leave even if Jara left.
Nonetheless, they had known each other for many years. Even if they had parted, they still held a special place in each other's hearts.
Until now, she would remember the words that he said to her on that night before they parted. That time, he was standing under the parasol tree in the courtyard.
"Emmeline, can you come with me?" Jara asked.
With a smile, Emmeline gently shook her head. "Sorry, Jara. I can't go with you."
Yes, she couldn't go with him.
Although Grandpa Farrington had left the world, the orphanage was still here.
If Grandpa Farrington hadn't taken her in, she wouldn't grow up safely under his care. Therefore, she couldn't leave everyone in the orphanage alone.
Of course, Jara understood her reason.
But because he had things to accomplish, he couldn't stay with her forever in this small place.
So, in the end, he left.
Before leaving, he left her a message. "If anything happens in the future, come to the castle and find me."
To that, Emmeline nodded.
Then, they left in opposite directions and never looked back.
Just like that, both of them had lost the chance to share their inner feelings.
When they met again, two years had passed.
As there was demolition in the town, the orphanage shifted to somewhere else, and there was a new principal.
Emmeline didn't have to protect the orphans on behalf of Grandpa Farrington anymore, so she left.
Then, by chance, she joined the Lost Vanguard. After training, she became a professional killer.
She was so elite that no one would have thought that a seemingly gentle lady could shoot a bullet into someone else's chest without batting an eye.
At that time, she didn't know that Jara was the main leader of the Lost Vanguard.
Later, she went to find him with her heart filled with joyfulness.
After that, they had a romantic and sweet time together.
But later on, Jara found out about her occupation.
As he strongly opposed, he insisted that she leave Lost Vanguard and stop doing this kind of job again.
At that time, Emmeline couldn't understand why he opposed it. She felt that she had the ability and the right to make decisions and take responsibility for her own life.
Nonetheless, he refused to give in to her. Hence, the two of them began to quarrel, and they slowly grew apart.
One day, through a mission, Emmeline realized that Jara was the main leader of Lost Vanguard.
Actually, the reason Jara opposed her was that he knew how dark this industry was. Moreover, everything was not as simple as it seemed.
At that time, he just hoped that Emmeline would remain as the pure and bright girl whom he met back then.
However, how many wishes in this world would actually come true?
Emmeline didn't want to be anyone's vassal. Even if there were endless hardships and danger in front of her, she desired to be strong.
When there was a disaster, she hoped that instead of being the burden of the person she liked, she could be his most trustworthy and toughest arm.
However, all of this didn't seem to matter to Jara at all.
Not only did he disliked her doing those things, but he also hated the fact that she was a part of Lost Vanguard.
To let her give up, he even made use of his identity as the head of Lost Vanguard and forced her to quit.
At that time, Emmeline was vexed.
Throughout her life, she never met such an unreasonable person before.
Enraged, she withdrew and joined the Salvation Club, which was Lost Vanguard's rival.
Since then, the two of them were completely immersed in the cold war. Initially, this was nothing as they were just going their own way due to different beliefs.
Unexpectedly, later on, there was a big fight between the Salvation Club and the Lost Vanguard.
The internal information of Lost Vanguard was stolen, and Emmeline was the main suspect...
Thinking back on those days, Emmeline closed her eyes.
Even though the sweet fragrance of osmanthus filled the air, she could only feel a chill in her heart.
Then, a sense of ineffable mockery filled her heart. It was so cold and hurtful that even her fingertips were almost numb.
Meanwhile, Keira didn't seem to notice Emmeline's abnormality. After listening to Emmeline's words, she was a little troubled.
