<b>Chapter </b><b>238 </b>


    “No way!” Landon didn’t even hesitate before rejecting the idea.


    Landon didn’t even pause to consider it–he shot the idea down instantly.

    Irritated, Eddie snapped, “Are you just going to stand by and watch her die? Oh, and by the way, you’ve got a chip in your head too. Sooner orter, that’s going to loosen up…” The call was cut off before he could finish.


    Once again, the call was abruptly ended–this was the second time he’d been shown such tant disregard!


    Furious, Eddie mmed his phone down. “That ignorant brat! How dare he hang up on me!”


    “Then let Paloma die!” Eddie’s wife’s perfectly maintained face twisted with malice, making her look every bit the snake in the grass she truly was.


    Eddie was thinking the exact same thing.


    But first, he had to get his younger son out of danger.


    He’d originally nned to wait until his grandson was old enough, then just hand the Kington Gang over to him.


    But now, after the Kington Gang had been wrecked by the Flying Tiger Sect, the whole organization was teetering on the edge of copse.


    He couldn’t wait for Landen to grow up anymore. He had to get Aiden out and help him rebuild the Kington Gang.


    “Send Poppy to Norava,” Eddie said.


    Eddie’s wife looked startled. “You mean…”


    “She will rece Paloma and send Paloma back. Once we have Paloma back, Landon will have no choice but to give in,” Eddie replied.


    In Norava, Ka was having another episode because of Eddie’s threats.


    She clutched her head in agony, rolling around on the floor. Brian rushed in and quickly injected her with a sedative to calm her down.


    “What did you do to set her off this time?” Brian demanded, his voice tight with anger.


    Landon replied, “Eddie’s using Landen to manipte us.”


    “And then?” Brian pressed.


    “Ka refused,” Landon replied.


    Brian let out a long, heavy sigh of relief. “Good.”


    “Brian, you’ve known Ka for a long time, haven’t you?” Landon asked.


    Brian’s gaze flickered, like he was turning something over in his mind.


    After a moment, he sat down and said, “If you’ve got questions, just ask.”


    “Back when Ka was still with the Limitless Sect, you already knew each other, right?” Landon guessed.


    Brian smiled. “That’s right.”


    “So, were you with the Limitless Sect too?” Landon asked.


    <b>20:09 </b><b>Mon</b><b>, </b><b>28 </b>Jul


    “No,” Brian replied.


    Landon felt a little more at ease and asked, “Why doesn’t Ka remember anything from when she was seven to twenty?”


    <b>3.52</b><b>% </b>


    “She was seriously injured before she joined the Limitless Sect and lost all memory of her past. Later, after the Limitless Sect was destroyed, she ended up in Jonny’s hands,” Brian exined.


    Brian suddenly stopped mid–sentence.


    Landon and Amelia both felt their hearts clench. “Brian, please, go on!” they urged together.


    “Jonny was a madman. He imed it was love, but it was just cruelty. The more he said he loved her, the more brutal he became. She tried to run away several times, but he always caught her and dragged her back,” Brian said, his voice growing heavier with each word.


    “To keep her from escaping again, Jonny developed a brain chip that could erase her memories and had it imnted in her brain,” he continued.


    Brian spoke slowly, his tone growing heavier with each word


    Amelia gasped. “Wait, Jonny was actually some kind of scientist?”


    “Yes. He was a genius. That’s why the Kington Gang always kept his existence a secret. If he hadn’t died, the Flying Tiger Sect never would’ve been able to break in so easily,” Brian said, his gaze fixed meaningfully on Landon.


    Landon’s fingers tightened into fists. “And then?”


    “Aiden killed his own brother, which finally ended Ka’s suffering. But that also made Eddie decide to imnt another chip in her, turning her into the Kyle family’s eldest daughter<i>,</i>” Brian said.


    “So she’s lost her memories more than once…” Amelia murmured, her heart twisting painfully. She couldn’t even put her feelings into words right now.


    ‘Even the most tragic webnovel heroine doesn’t get it this bad! Ka is just so miserable!” she thought.


    “It’s really been so hard for her,” Brian said, his eyes dropping to the floor. His hands, resting on his thighs, trembled slightly.


    After several minutes, he finally looked up again, fixing his gaze on Landon. “You have to find a way to save her. This is your debt to her.”


    “Of course!” Landon gritted his teeth. “Brian, please look after Ka until then.”


    “I will,” Brian replied.


    And just like that, Brian settled in to stay.


    For now, theirst hope was that the Flying Tiger Sect might have a way to remove the chip.


    After discussing it with Amelia, Landon flew to Lunova the next day<i>, </i>while Amelia stayed behind to keep Kapany.


    Everyone in the family was a nervous wreck, except for Ka, who stayed calm like nothing could shake her.


    She actually ended upforting everyone else. “Hey, don’t worry about me. I’ve still got half a year left, right? We’ll figure something out.”


    “Yeah, we’ll definitely find a way!” Amelia squeezed out a smile, trying her best to keep up with Ka’s optimism.


    Honestly, she’d lost count of how many times she’d sighed behind everyone’s back.


    And Gloria was a total mess, her eyes so swollen from crying she could barely see.


    Seeing how anxious everyone was, Ka finally suggested, “Why don’t we go out for a walk?”


    “Are you sure you’re okay with that, Ka? Amelia asked, ncing at the scars on her face. She was worried people might stare or say something


    <b>20:09 </b><b>Mon</b>, <b>28 </b><b>Jul </b>


    hurtful, and afraid it might set off another headache.


    “It’s fine, I’ll just wear a mask,” Ka replied with a rxed smile.


    She didn’t seem to care at all, just picked up an oversized mask and put it on.


    To make up for everything Ka had been through, Gloria started buying her all kinds of jewelry and clothes.


    Kaughed. “Mom, are you trying to empty out the whole mall or something?”


    “Once you’re better, I’ll buy the whole mall and give it to you!” Gloria dered.


    “No way, running a business is way too much work,” Ka said, shaking her head.


    Ameliaughed. “Well then, why don’t youe to thepany with me tomorrow? Mom set aside 20% of the shares for you. We can handle the equity transfer together.”


    “No need. If I ever need money, I can just ask the family for it,” Ka replied, shaking her head.


    “You should really take what’s yours, Ka,” Amelia insisted.


    “I’ll wait until I’m better before I take it,” Ka said, still refusing.


    But Ka just wouldn’t budge.


    She only had six months left to live. There was no point owning shares. It’d just be more hassle and paperwork she didn’t need.


    Everyone could read her mind, but nobody wanted to break the silence.


    All anyone could do was sigh and hope Landon and Tuff would bring back some good news.


    As the three of them chatted and strolled through the mall, they unexpectedly ran into ine. “Mrs. Kingsley, it’s been a while!” ine greeted with a bright smile.


    Gloria frowned and instinctively nced at Amelia.


    Amelia waspletely unfazed–she’d never taken ine seriously.


    If ine wanted to be the other woman, she’d have to get past Landon first.


    Someone like ine, who was just chasing after a one–sided crush, didn’t even count as a rival.


    “Oh, who’s this?” ine looked Ka up and down, then suddenly eximed, “Ka? Is that really you?”


    “You know me?” Ka asked, surprised.


    Back when she was kidnapped, ine was just a baby.


    “Of course! I’ve heard all about you from Landon,” ine grinned from ear to ear. “Wow, Ka, you’re so beautiful.”


    Ka’s eyes dimmed.


    ‘Beautiful? No way. I’m just ugly now, not fit to be seen by anyone,‘ she mocked herself inwardly.


    <b>“</b>Ka, why are you wearing <b>a </b>mask? Isn’t it hot in there?” ine asked with concern,


    Ka instinctively took <b>a </b>step back, as if she was afraid..


    Worried Ka might get upset, Amelia quickly said, “Ka, I need to use the restroom. Can youe with me?”


    <b>3/4 </b>


    <b>20:09 </b><b>Mon</b><b>, </b><b>28 </b>Jül ?


    “Sure!” Ka agreed, d for the excuse to get away from ine.


    She’d been looking for a way out anyway, so she immediately followed Amelia to the restroom.


    When Ka and Amelia came back out, ine was already gone.


    Gloria was


    still grumbling. “That ine is just too much. If it weren’t for her dad, I’d really want to tell her off…”


    “Mom, it’s really okay. She’s gone now, I’m fine,” Ka reassured her, lightly touching her face for a moment before letting her hand fall away.


    Amelia affectionately linked her arm with Ka’s. “Ka, now that the annoying person is gone, want to keep shopping for a while<b>?</b><b>” </b>


    <b>“</b>Yeah, let’s do that,” Ka replied.


    Ka impassively nced in the direction ine had left, giving nothing away.
