Love Contract

"I don't know," she answered casually, "It depends on the punishment that I'll receive from the headquarters. This time, I made the decision to shoot that cunning devil Corbett without permission. I went too far. Maybe they would send me to the South Pole to protect the penguins. Or I will be ordered to go to the front line and enjoy the rain of bullets. Perhaps they would give me a detention for three months." Archer's face was pale. "If I can't see you for a long time, I will miss you."

"You can look at my sister's face when you miss me."

"Aisha..." Archer was speechless. After pondering for a moment, he swallowed and said, "I'll go with you."

"No way!" She stopped him immediately. "Stop your boring thoughts. You have to stay here and protect my sister. If anything happens to her again, I will never forgive you!"

She left and strode towards the operating room to find Jazlyn.

On the other side, Lucas's wound was being sutured by the doctors. The operation was over and successful.

The surgeon smiled and said, "The operation is over. Give Dr. Murong some personal space and let him finish what he wants to say. Let's go out first. Come on, third wheels!"

Hearing this, other doctors and nurses rushed out of the operating room as if they had made an agreement ahead.

"Thank you!" Smiling, Lucas shouted at the group as he tried to sit on the operating table.

"Why are you sitting up?" Jazlyn said worriedly. "You just finished the operation!"

"It's just a minor injury." Lucas moved his body casually, and patted the empty space on the operating table. "Sit here!"

With a shrug, Jazlyn easily jumped up and sat beside Lucas. "What did you want to ask me just now?"

"Are you really a police officer?" Lucas asked with raised eyebrows.

"Yep." Jazlyn nodded and remarked, "My identity must have been exposed when I went to save the kids."

"To be honest, I knew it a few days ago."

"Really? You already knew it?" Jazlyn's mouth fell open in surprise. "When? How did you know?"

"Archer told me on the day you came back from Japan."

"So he knew it too!" Jazlyn smiled and said, "He cares about my boss so much. He must have tried his best to find out. I knew it was just a matter of time. But it's good that you guys already knew. I was planning to tell you at the right time anyway."

"Then why did you hide it from us before?" asked Lucas as he faced her. "I thought you were a gangster because you were so good at fighting!"

Jazlyn cleared her throat and recited seriously, "Ahem. Ahem. We are a group of well-trained police. We must abide by our duty. We can't expose our identity too early, in case of inconvenient movement and unnecessary trouble for ourselves and the public."

Upon hearing that, Lucas burst into laughter. "Jazlyn, did you memorize these words? Impressive."

She swallowed hard and murmured, "This is what our superiors taught us when we entered the organization. Of course there are also rules we need to obey."

The smile on Lucas's face grew bigger. Looking at the silly look on Jazlyn's face, he suddenly felt that this woman was indeed very simple. She dared to love and hate, she would say whatever she liked and there was no stopping her. She was extremely brave, but she could also be a coward. Sometimes, she looked fierce, but sometimes she looked girlish.

"Jazlyn, don't you think we are a perfect match for each other?" Lucas's words made Jazlyn blush.

"Hmm?" Her heart skipped a beat, but she tried her best to keep calm on the surface. This was the first time in her life that she felt such a feeling. Nevertheless, she looked forward to what Lucas would say next. "You... What do you mean?"

"Look, I'm a doctor and you're a police officer. If you get hurt, I can treat you as soon as possible. If anything bad happens to me, you can come out to protect me as well," explained Lucas simply, but his eyes were shining. "Don't you think we are a perfect match?"

"That's it?" Jazlyn was a little disappointed. She thought he would say something sweet and unexpected to her. "I can cure myself if I get hurt, and you can live a good life without my protection. I'm not your bodyguard. Why should I protect you? I have something far more important to do than babysitting you."

Biting his lips, Lucas took a deep breath and said, "Then I will protect you instead."

"What?" Jazlyn suddenly turned around and asked, "Are you kidding me? You can't even defeat me with your fighting skills. Are you sure you can protect me? I think it's you who needs protection. Besides, I don't need other people's protection. I can take care of myself."

"This is a man's promise to a woman. It has nothing to do with your profession as a police officer." Lucas stared at her with unprecedented seriousness in his eyes. "You are good at fighting, but don't forget that you are a woman as well. I'm not saying I could protect you when you fight. All I could do is stop the danger before it happens to you. That way you would be safe and sound. This is the protection I was saying. Do you understand what I mean?"

Hearing his words, Jazlyn felt her breathing stop. Never in her life had she thought that a man would be willing to protect her. Unexpectedly, a man named Lucas promised her to do so. Although he seemed frivolous at times, he could be very serious if he wanted to. Right now, he promised to protect her.

"Jazlyn, you said you would be responsible for me. Also, remember when you said I was your man? Do these words still count?" asked Lucas as he stared at her long eyelashes and clear eyes meaningfully. "How long will you protect me?"

"All my life!"

With a smile at the corners of his mouth, Lucas leaned forward slightly and his handsome face was nearing Jazlyn's lips. Her breathing became slow as their lips were about to meet. Staring at Lucas, her body felt tensed as it waited for their lips to touch.

"Jazlyn! The doctor said the operation had been finished. Why haven't you..."

Aisha roared all the way to the operating room. As soon as she pushed the door open, she saw the two kissing. The rest of the sentence got stuck in her throat and she stood petrified in spot.

Jazlyn and Lucas were also stunned. Just as their lips met, Jazlyn suddenly slapped him on his face and shouted, "There are mosquitoes on your face!"

Without precaution, Lucas fell down on the operating table. The corners of his mouth twitched. "Damn it!"

"Boss! What is it?" Jazlyn blushed in embarrassment. She jumped off the operating table and ran out. "There are mosquitoes in this damn operating room!" "Jesus..." Aisha was speechless. She turned around and ran out in a hurry.

"Boss, wait for me! Believe me, there were really mosquitoes! Where are you going? Wait!" Jazlyn shouted as she chased after Aisha.

"Back to the US!"
