Never Too Far Novel

Chapter 1990

“It’s me.”

Hearing that voice made Willow stop struggling, and she willingly followed him. When she felt a wall behind her back, she quickly removed the clothing on her head and stared at her savior in disbelief.

“It’s you?” The surprised woman looked at the man before her, wondering why he was there. “Why are you…”

She happily asked, but halfway through her question, Jasper covered her lips with his palm, stopping her from speaking. That was because he sensed someone approaching them. Since they were in a corner, she could feel him moving closer and leaning against her, rendering her no choice but gulp.

At this point, both were closely leaning against each other, and she even felt a little breathless from the pressure on her chest. However, she obediently complied and stayed quiet.

She knew there was danger wherever this man was, and the explosion from earlier was no simple matter. What’s going on?

Meanwhile, Jasper narrowed his eyes and waited for the frantic footsteps to disappear before looking at the woman in his arms. When he did, he noticed her blushing cheeks and the faint shyness in her sparkling eyes.

Suddenly, Willow’s phone rang, startling her. She quickly took it out and saw it was Mae calling her. Before she could answer the call, the man took it away and switched it to silent mode.

“Follow me.” Once he said that, he grabbed her hand and led her to the back of the cafe. There were usually service elevators at those places.

Willow followed him, taking twists and turns while making their way to the hallway behind the kitchen. Despite her situation, she was happy because that man always appeared whenever she was in danger.

How could a woman like her not fall for him? This was simply a scene that would only appear in her dreams!

In the meantime, Jasper accurately analyzed their route with just a look and quickly brought her toward the service elevator. At that moment, many were waiting for the elevator as well. Though the shopping mall had lost power, the elevators had a backup power supply, so they were still working. NôvelDrama.Org content.

When he saw the crowd, he decided against taking the elevator with Willow. He led her away, and she willingly followed.

While walking along the mall’s hallway, she noticed she had never been to these places. Still, she was not in the mood to look around because her eyes were focused on the man before her.

However, the two men planning on kidnapping Willow were chasing after them. They had stuck a tracking device on her backpack when they passed by her long before. However, they did not expect the young woman to flee so quickly among the chaotic crowd.

Jasper and Willow arrived at the entrance to the stairs, and while he was leading her down, he frowned upon hearing footsteps from above them. Since he had quite an accurate sixth sense, he had a hunch that someone was following them. Are Bucky’s men still on our trail?

Suddenly remembering that those men were not ordinary, he believed they would find a way to keep their target in sight no matter what. Then, he immediately pulled Willow closer. With his strength, he tugged her straight into his embrace. Following that, she felt a large hand moving from her neck to her clothes. Her eyes widened slightly as the man examined her hair and even her hands.

Nonetheless, Willow did not make a sound and allowed him to check her body. Soon, the man took her bag and scrutinized it, ultimately finding a tracking device stuck under it. It was as small as a grain of rice, so it was easily undetectable.

Jasper quickly took the device off and opened the second-floor door before tossing it through. Afterward, he continued to lead her downstairs.

In the meantime, the woman stayed quiet as she followed him to an exit at the back of the building, where she saw a crowd, along with police officers and firefighters who arrived at the scene right after the explosion.

She followed the man until he opened a car door and pushed her inside before getting in too.
