"Don't go in, Jens. It’s dangerous inside. I’ll go in and save them," said Baby Robbie as he blocked Jenson at the door of the courtyard.
Jenson looked at Baby Robbie and urged him, "You have to be careful as well."
"Okay," said Baby Robbie as he turned around and rushed inside.
When Jay saw Baby Robbie dashing in through the fire, he shouted anxiously, "Don’t come here, Robbie!"
Baby Robbie exclaimed, "Daddy, I have a magic weapon to deal with these snakes!"
Jay was surprised to find that the snakes would not get close to Baby Robbie.
"Odd." Cole was puzzled and asked, "Why are the snakes afraid of Baby Robbie?"
Baby Robbie took the family seal out of his pockets and all of the poisonous snakes exploded, dying in an instant.
Jay and Cole were both utterly shocked.
When the snakes had all died, the guards rushed in to put out the fire.
Cole collapsed to the ground due to exhaustion, but
Jay was still standing tall and upright in the middle of the courtyard.
Cole teased him, "You were so nervous earlier but now you're back to looking so calm and relaxed. You surely know how to put on an act."
Jay replied to him with lingering fear, "I was genuinely nervous earlier."
Jay felt that his fearless self was no longer as imposing and full of power whenever he thought of the pregnant Angeline.
Cole stared at him blankly and said, "When I burned down Tourmaline Estate in the past, didn’t you stand tall back then too? You looked utterly fearless in that sea of fire, so why are you such a coward now?"
Jay walked toward Cole and said, "My Angeline used t o be in good health, so she was able to live well without me. But, she can't anymore..."
He had someone important who needed to rely on him now and lost the courage to face death so openly.
Cole was stunned at his response.
