When Jordan saw the tears on her face, he knew that his words must have moved her. She was so moved that she ran over, wanting to leave with Jordan.
Jordan explained gently, "Lauren, to be honest with you, we're not going on a holiday this time. We're going on a mission. This mission is definitely dangerous. I can't bring you along because I might not have time to take care of your safety."
It was very dangerous to travel back to the past, especially to the Handley family's village from decades ago.
Everyone in that village had unique skills. They were not ordinary people.
Jordan was a Deity but could only barely protect himself. If he brought Lauren along, he couldn't guarantee her safety. In addition, Lauren was pregnant now. She should be resting in the capital, not going to a sinister and terrifying place like Cocodrie.
But Lauren said firmly, "I don't need you to take care of my safety. I can protect myself and you!"
"Huh?"
