Before leaving, John left behind a group of very powerful bodyguards to protect her.
Before John left, he told Kathleen, "I'll hurry over to accompany you as soon as possible! Once I'm done with my business in Hillford, I'll come over immediately!"
However, there were many things that tied John to Hillford.
The night when John left, Shane brought good news. "Miss, according to your previous instructions, I have already made contact with young master's trusted aide, Alan!"
Kathleen asked, "How was it?"
"Initially, Alan wasn't willing to betray his young master. Other than his loyalty, it was also because he was poisoned and his family was controlled by him."
"I followed your instructions and promised to cure Alan of the poison and save his life! I also promised to save his family..."
Shane said, "Alan immediately agreed."
