Becoming Their Guiding Spirit

# Chapter 92: Mr. Reeve, how many girls’ bodies have you used! Jessica had been just a little bit worried lately.

Ever since Lucas Reeve had returned from attending her family banquet, Mr. Reeve had been frequently retreating into the necklace and staying there. She often had to call his name several times just to get a response.

Sometimes.

Jessica would worry.

She worried that it was a lingering side effect from when Mr. Reeve helped her months ago. Although he had successfully recovered, perhaps it had left a chronic ailment, requiring him to rest for a period each day. And now, to keep her from worrying, Lucas would force a smile and chat with her every day.

The more Jessica thought about it, the more likely this possibility seemed.

After all.

Back in Bolívar, Mr. Reeve had paid such a heavy price. There was no way that brilliant attack could be recovered from with just a month of rest.

Perhaps Mr. Reeve was still incredibly weak, enduring the pain emanating from his spiritual body like a patient every day, all while forcing a smile to keep her company.

*Sobs*~~

The more she thought about it, the more Jessica wanted to wipe away tears.

So, Jessica hadn’t asked a thing these past few days.

Whenever Lucas suddenly retreated into the necklace, she would quietly ask some ’wizards’ on the internet if there was a way to heal a soul, wanting to help Lucas in any way she could.

On the other hand.

Lucas still hadn’t told Jessica that he had other soul fragments.

Actually, he had been ready to tell her right after returning from Ursus.

In fact, if Jessica had just asked, Lucas would have told her a hundred percent of the time. But Jessica never asked. She just looked at him with great tenderness, then patted his head as if coaxing a child, and said.

”Don’t go out of your way for me~ I’m fine, Mr. Reeve.”

That sentence left Lucas completely baffled at the time.

Was this little girl angry?

No, that wasn’t right.

Jessica was a good kid, and not one to throw unreasonable tantrums. How could she get angry for no reason?

In the days that followed.

Jessica’s gaze toward him grew progressively stranger.

Not like she was looking at a freak.

Rather, it became more and more gentle, filled with increasing pity.

Lucas always felt...

Why could he see a look in Jessica’s eyes as if she were looking at a patient?

He didn’t quite get it...

Lucas had considered just coming clean to Jessica.

But he didn’t understand Jessica’s current peculiar expressions.

Besides, Lucas knew very well what Jessica was thinking.

What if he said something and...

*Snap*.

What if she got jealous?

Lucas had prepared several opportunities. If Jessica just asked why, he would absolutely follow that thread and explain everything. Even when he was helping Patriot customize his power armor, if Jessica had just asked who it was for, Lucas would have explained it all clearly. However, Jessica didn’t ask, her expression remaining incredibly gentle.

Although their souls were now intertwined, he could forcibly read Jessica’s thoughts if he wanted to.

But ever since their trip to Bolívar, Lucas had basically stopped doing that. He wouldn’t engage in such an invasive violation of someone’s privacy.

At this moment.

Lucas was controlling Ifrit’s body, running ahead.

And at some point.

Jessica had actually caught up from behind.

”Hiss!”

Lucas wanted to speed up. To be honest, coming clean to Jessica didn’t matter to Lucas, but now was not the time.

Right now, ’Ifrit’ was being pursued by a Rhine Lab special unit. Although Jessica, as the heiress of Raythean Industries, had no fear of Rhine Lab, Lucas didn’t want to cause trouble for her because of him.

Unexpectedly...

This little girl actually caught up!!

Seeing the ’little girl’ in front of her pick up the pace, seemingly in a panic, Jessica’s expression became even more determined.

Meanwhile, Franka and Liskarm were a bit confused as to why Jessica was chasing a little girl.

”Little girl, wait up!! Big sister has something to ask you!!”

Jessica’s current physical fitness was formidable.

After being strengthened twice by Lucas’s Spiritual Power, her physique had faintly surpassed that of veteran elite Operators like Franka, which made Franka incredibly jealous.

Lucas didn’t say a word.

Then Jessica suddenly changed her tune.

”Mr. Reeve!! You’re Mr. Reeve, aren’t you!!!”

”!!!”

Lucas’s scalp tingled. How could she have guessed that?

Lucas?!!

Franka and Liskarm, who were initially confused, were now completely shocked upon hearing Jessica’s words.

Wait a minute!

Lucas!!
