Chapter 875 She Was Overthinking It
After receiving the text message, he quickly sent someone over.
Emmeline didn't wait long before Quan came.
When she heard a door knock, she walked over to get the door. After seeing that it was Quan, she directly handed over the bottle of essential oil to him.
Perhaps Quan knew that she was wearing pajamas at the time and that her room was her private space, so Quan kept his head down and did not look up at her.
After handing it over, Emmeline whispered to him. "Check its composition. When the results are out, let me know immediately."
Nodding, Quan replied with a "yes" in a low voice, then turned around and left.
After that, Emmeline closed the door.
It was only when the item was sent out that she felt a little more at ease.
As she lay down on the bed again, she felt a wave of drowsiness and fell asleep.
The next day.
During breakfast, she and Jara were the only two people in the dining room.
Both of them had the habit of not talking while eating, so it was quiet at the dining table.
After the meal, Emmeline uttered, "I have something to talk to you about."
Glancing at her, Jara slowly put down the teacup in his hand and replied in a low voice, "Go to the study."
Thus, she got up and pushed his wheelchair towards the study.
After entering the study, Emmeline closed the door. Then, she walked to the sofa and sat down before she began. "Because you were heavily injured awhile ago, and there were too many things to deal with at that moment, there was one thing that I haven't had the chance to tell you."
Looking at her, Jara asked. "What is it?"
In response, Emmeline took out the map drawn by him and answered. "Yunne said that she had seen this before, which is the pattern on the jade pendant."
Upon hearing that, Jara was taken aback.
Clearly, he was a little surprised.
In fact, he was not the only one as Emmeline was too surprised when she first heard about it.
However, he came around really quick. After a while, his expression returned to normal.
Then, he asked in a low voice, "What's going on?"
But Emmeline shook her head. "I don't know the details. On the day you went to the neighboring city, didn't you give me a document? When I was looking at it, Yunne happened to be around and saw the picture on the file."
"According to what she said, she thought that the patterns on the picture looked familiar as if she had seen it somewhere before, but she couldn't remember exactly where she saw it."
"At that time, I doubted whether she had mistaken it. But later, when we found out that the spy among the guards had the map tattooed on this body, I knew that this pattern can probably be found in other places too."
"There should be more than one person who has seen it. So Yunne might have saw it somewhere before as well."
Upon hearing her explanation, Jara knitted his brows deeply.
At that moment, he was silent and did not say anything, but Emmeline knew that he was thinking about the possibility of this matter.
After a long while, he finally said, "So, during this period of time, she hasn't recall anything?"
Unfortunately, Emmeline shook her head.
Once again, Jara fell silent.
Then, Emmeline said in a deep voice, "What I mean is... Should we send someone to do a background check on her hometown? I heard that after she graduated from school, she was introduced directly to work here by acquaintances. Since she is young and has not been to a lot of places, with a little investigation, maybe we can find some clues."
Jara muttered, "That's possible, but..."
He paused. Raised her eyebrows, Emmeline made a guess. "Are you afraid that this will alert the enemy?"
When Emmeline finished her sentence, Jara nodded.
With some thought, he uttered, "Do you have a feeling that no matter what we do, what we find, or how we investigate, it seems that everything is under the enemy's control. At the end of the day, we will find that we been going around, receiving clues that are nothing more than deceptive tricks the enemy set up for us. In reality, we were sent back to square one."
"I'm a little worried that the same thing will happen again. It seems that there is a clue, but in fact, we can't find anything either. Instead, we'll be tossed around by the enemy."
When Emmeline heard this, she frown unknowningly.
Then, she replied in a deep voice, "What you said is possible too."
After all, it had been awhile, and they had more or less learned something about the enemy's tactics.
Jara was looking at her when she added. "Let's put this aside first then. As for Yunne's character, I can still trust her for the time being. Let's wait for a while and see if she can think of anything. Who knows? Maybe when she does think of something, we won't have to investigate anymore."
In response, Jara nodded his head.
Right at this moment, someone knocked on the door of the study.
Jara responded, and the door was pushed open. It was Quan who walked in.
However, after greeting Jara, he went straight to Emmeline.
"Miss Illington, this is what you asked me to check last night. The results came out."
After that, he respectfully handed the report to her.
Emmeline took it and looked at it carefully.
Upon seeing this scene, Jara suddenly had a very strange feeling.
It was as if they were a big family in the castle. He was the head of a family, and Emmeline was the hostess of this family.
In the past, some of his men who had been ordered to follow his orders were now listening to her.
Furthermore, his trusted subordinates who were loyal to him were not only serving him now, but also serving the lady in the castle.
The union of a husband and wife, working together like a team!
With the thought in mind, he couldn't help but smile slightly.
Meanwhile, Emmeline had no idea what he was thinking.
She was still concentrating on the report.
On the report, all the components of the flower oil was clearly listed along with its effects.
It seemed that there was nothing wrong with it.
As Yunne had mentioned before, these flowers had a soothing effect. After being refined and mixed together in different proportions, they had a calming effect.
When she thought about it, she couldn't help but frown slightly.
Could it be that... She was really overthinking it?
Last night, Jara only received her text message asking him to send Quan over. In reality, he still didn't know what was it about.
So when he saw the report in her hand, he curiously asked, "What is this?"
Looking up at him, Emmeline replied, "Oh, it's nothing. It's just an ordinary report."
After that, without letting him take a look at it, she directly put the report away.
Then she took out the bottle of flower oil that had been sent for testing and handed it to him.
"Here, a gift to you."
Surprised, Jara looked at it, and a hint of joy appeared in his eyes as he stretched out his hand to receive it.
"What's this?"
With a faint smile, she answered, "Essence oil. It is used for massage to help you sleep better. It's very effective. Do give it a try."
