From Ashes of Scandals to His Embrace novel Chapter 238

York barely had time to process the first shock before another hit him right between the eyes. He just stared at Adolphus, lost for words.

“Did Laurinda agree?” he finally managed.

“I haven’t told her yet. I was just about to. If she says yes, we’ll take Jasper with us tomorrow.”

York stayed silent, trying to wrap his head around it. He understood what Adolphus was getting at, but Jasper was only seven. Where could he possibly go?

“Where are you sending him?”

“To the Flame Training Base.”

York blinked. For a moment, he thought he must have heard wrong. He shot up from his seat, his voice rising in disbelief. “You’re sending him to the Flame Training Base? That place is brutal.”

“Laurinda would never agree to that…”

“I agree,” Laurinda’s voice cut in.

She had just stepped out of the ICU and caught the last part of their conversation. Right now, everything was crystal clear to her. If those people came for them, she couldn’t guarantee Jasper’s safety. The only way was for him to get stronger.

Even Bonnie, as tough as she was, had nearly died. Jasper had to learn to protect himself.

“But he’s only seven,” York said, his voice softening.

“York, when you were seven, you were already fighting for your life. Seven isn’t so little. Don’t underestimate him.”

Laurinda already had a sense of what Jasper could do. She trusted her brother wasn’t weak.
