Chapter 801 To Wait and See
This set of techniques helped Emmeline a lot later on in her career.
Even the series of hidden weapons she learned later was built on this foundation.
As she thought about it, her pupils dilated slightly.
A strange feeling arose in her heart.
Seeing that she was happily playing darts, Yunne smiled and complimented, "Miss Illington, you are really good at aiming."
With a smile, Emmeline picked up a dart and handed it to her, asking, "Do you want to give it a try?"
Upon hearing this, Yunne widened her eyes in surprise.
"Me? No, I can't."
At the same time, she waved her hand repeatedly. "I can't aim."
Looking at her, Emmeline smiled. "How do you know if you don't try?"
Hearing what she said, Yunne felt a little tempted.
Hence, after hesitating for a long time, she still couldn't resist her urge and took the dart.
"In that case... I'll give it a try. If I fail, don't laugh at me."
Emmeline nodded. "Go ahead, I won't laugh at you."
Yunne tried to mimic Emmeline's posture, as she aimed at the disc hanging on the wall and released the dark.
As expected, she missed the mark.
Not only did she missed, but it also flew so far away from the disc that it almost hit the window next to it.
When Yunne saw this, she was a little embarrassed and a little gutted. "When I saw you cast the dart, it seemed so easy. Why is it so different when I did it?"
In turn, Emmeline smiled and said, "The main thing is that when you are preparing to release the dark, your hand and your eyes should align. Just now, your hand had probably tilted. Would you like to try it again?"
This time, Yunne shook her head firmly.
"No, no, no. I don't think I will hit it no matter how many times I tried. I've never played this before, and I don't know how to play. It's better for you to play."
Seeing her reaction, Emmeline didn't force her anymore, as she took another one and threw it.
The small dart seemed to have eyes when she was the one throwing it.
One by one, they flew toward the disc.
And Yunne was stunned by what she saw.
She couldn't stop applauding.
"Miss Illington, you're so good at aiming. So cool!"
Slightly curling her lips, she raised his hand to pick up another dart. When she was about to throw it again, she caught a glimpse of a figure outside the window from the corner of her eyes and stopped abruptly.
A slight frown appeared between her brows, as she looked at the person standing outside the door and asked, "Why are you here?"
Then, Jara walked over.
Through the window, he looked at her with a faint smile in his eyes. "I was just passing by from a walk."
After taking a glance at the dartboard disc hanging on the wall, he laughed and said, "You're practicing darts? After not seeing you for a few years, seems like you've made some progress."
Hearing that, Emmeline snorted coldly.
And she didn't want to talk to him.
However, somehow, Jara didn't react as he would before. Instead, he did not leave after being ignored.
On the contrary, he held the edge of the window with one hand and jumped into the room steadily.
In response, Emmeline's pupils dilated.
As expected, when she turned around, she noticed Yunne was startled too.
With that, she couldn't help but feel angry and asked, "What are you doing?"
Raising his eyebrows, he looked at her angry face that was a little flushed. He didn't seem to be affected by it at all as he even smiled.
"I just jumped over the window. Didn't you see that?"
Hearing that, Emmeline was speechless.
Although she felt a ball of fire burning in her heart, she couldn't decide whether to lash it out or not.
After all, this was his territory, and at the end of the day, he had a say in everything.
Therefore, she could only turn her head away angrily, as she couldn't be bothered to talk to him.
Upon seeing this, Jara was slightly annoyed.
Knowing that Emmeline was angry with him, he didn't want to embarrass himself. Hence, he simply said, "The people I sent out to investigate the group of people who tried to assassinate you had return."
Hearing that, Emmeline was slightly stunned.
Immediately, she turned around and looked at him. "Is there any news?"
Before he answered, Jara took the dart and threw it, firmly hitting it into the center of the disc.
Then, he replied, "No."
When Emmeline heard that, she frowned.
In a deep voice, Jara continued. "The other party is very good at hiding. Think about it yourself. In the past few years, did you offend anyone? The other party clearly wants to take your life. It's very likely that they're the enemies you've made in the past."
When Emmeline heard this, she realized the seriousness of the matter and lowered her head to think about it carefully.
However, no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't figure out who would hate her so much.
In the past four years, she had been in prison and had behaved herself. She had not gone anywhere, and it was impossible for her to become enemies with anyone.
Although it was true that she had offended many people four years ago, those were all grievances over interests or organizational resentment.
Now, the Salvation Club had dispersed and she had also withdrawn herself. Those enemies of the past were either dead or retreating. As far as she knew, no one would come to seek revenge from her.
"What the hell is going on?"
With a frown, she sat there, looking as if she couldn't figure out what was going on.
Jara's eyes darkened slightly. In the end, he didn't let her continue to make assumptions blindly.
"That's enough, If you can't think about it, then don't. Since the other party wants to kill you and failed to succeed the first time, they will definitely come again a second time. We should wait and see what will happen."
Hearing that, Emmeline was shocked.
It was only then that she came to her senses, feeling that what he said was reasonable.
Therefore, she nodded and said, "Okay, I understand."
Hearing that, Jara curled his lips and smiled faintly.
Meanwhile, Yunne, who was standing nearby, lowered her head and a glimpse of contemplation flashed across her eyes.
The next day.
Emmeline couldn't fall asleep at night because she slept too much during the day yesterday, so she went to bed really late.
As a result, she also got up late in the morning.
When she opened her eyes and saw the bright sun shining outside, she came to her senses immediately. As she at the time, she then realized it was already ten o'clock in the morning.
During this time, Emmeline had been recuperating at home. All she did was sleep and eat. Feeling that she had gained weight, she was a little embarrassed.
As she struggled to sit up from the bed, she looked up and saw Yunne coming into her room with breakfast in hand.
"Miss Illington, are you awake?"
In response, Emmeline nodded.
"The weather is good today. Do you want to go out for a walk after breakfast?"
Turning her head, she gazed at the bright sunshine outside, and she was indeed a little interested.
With a nod, she replied, "Alright."
When Yunne heard this, a hint of joy appeared on her face as she uttered, "In that case, I'll get things ready."
Following that, she placed the breakfast on the table for Emmeline and went out.
Because Emmeline still couldn't walk, she had to sit in a wheelchair if she wanted to go out.
After staying in the house for so many days, she was really getting bored. It was quite rare that the weather was so good today, so it was a good idea to go out for a walk to relax a little.
Therefore, she quickly finished her breakfast, then got into the wheelchair so Yunne could push her out.
The weather outside was sunny and the sun was scorching.
The season was approaching the end of spring. When the sun shone on the skin, it felt warm and soothing as if the gloomy mood was lifted off a little.
