Aria survived despite Jorg striking her with his projected pure vigor, but her entire shoulder was shattered and she was bleeding too much.

She was almost dead when the ambulance arrived and carted her away, and she was not out of the woods yet.

Frank sighed as Kim told him everything. "Well, it's up to her what becomes of her now. I really can't be bothered to deal with her at all.”

Hey...”

Kim suddenly turned, leaving Frank stunned with the tears in her eyes. "Does your promise last night still count?"

Frank felt a spot of tenderness in himself at the sight of her misery and handed her his business card with a nod. "Come visit my place if you ever find time to visit Riverton, though it's a lot less elegant as White Hall.”

Kim smiled despite her tears.

After parting ways with Kim, Frank was ready to drive back to Riverton.

However, when he and Burt arrived outside, he found Mona holding a letter, looking speechless. Frank took the letter and was left in a dilemma as he scanned through it.

In a nutshell, Aion Fairfax had bailed.

But that was not all—he was leaving his granddaughter in Frank's care.

"That geezer is so irresponsible!” Mona snapped, though there was no hint of dissatisfaction on her face, and she was ever so subtly pleased. "Oh, where can I go? Is there someone with a kind heart who'd feed me..."

Even as she stood with her hands clasped behind her back, Mona started whistling to herself nonchalantly, her thoughts clearly betrayed as she kept sliding peeks at Frank.

"In that case..."

Frank nodded and pointed at the front doors of White Hall. "I can ask Kim White to do me a favor and set you up with a job as a security guard.”

"A security guard?! No way!" Mona snapped, standing akimbo. "Also, I'm a Birthright rank elite. What martial elite of my level would work as a security guard?”

Burt laughed at her words, but it aggravated his internal injury and left him gritting his teeth. Frank turned toward him. "What about you, Burt? Can you set her up with a job?"

"No way." Burt shook his head. "We're all big sweaty men down at the precinct, working on interrogation and the like. Ladies keep a wide berth.”

Rubbing his chin, he then asked tentatively, "How about letting her join Mystic Sky Sect too?" "She's gifted, but...”

Frank trailed off as he remembered the complicated relationships he shared with Helen and Vicky. Things would surely get explosive if another woman were put in the mix.

"Right!"

Frank suddenly remembered Janet Zimmer telling him that Flora Hall was seriously short-handed, and having Mona help would be good. Moreover, she would know a thing or two since martial arts and medicine were closely associated. sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ FɪndNøvel.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

"Do you know medicine? Acupuncture, for instance?" he asked Mona.

"Nope. Not at all," Mona said, even sounding proud as she added, "My grandpa is a savant, though.”

Frank pursed his lips in turn—that old man really left him with a serious problem here.

She had helped him fight at Silver Spring Dojo, so Frank could not just abandon her.

He was not that ungrateful, and he appreciated talent enough to want to keep her.
