"What?!"
As soon as Sophie heard her grandfather asking her to stop looking for her benefactor, she could not understand his intentions. So, she asked incomprehensively, "Why, Grandpa?"
Jefferson replied vaguely, "It will not be good for you t o continue looking for him. So, it will be better for you t o just forget about it.” 3
Sophie frowned, and she was very persistent as she said, "Grandpa, the person that I am looking for is me and my brother's benefactor! He saved our lives! So, no matter what it is, I will continue looking for him. I will not give up even if I can't find him!"
Jefferson was a little anxious as he solemnly replied, "I t is not about whether you are going to find him or not! This is something related to your own safety in the future!" 3
Sophie was unconvinced, and she asked, "My future safety? What has this got to do with my future safety?" 1
Jefferson replied seriously, "Old Master Lennard said that your fate is in direct conflict with his fate.
Moreover, his fate is much higher and harder compared to yours. So, it will be fine if you do not look
for him. As soon as you find him, it will be like a moth that is attracted to the flames, and you will be the one getting hurt in the end!"
Sophie immediately retorted, "Grandpa, I do not have any intention to go against you directly. However, I feel that what Old Master Lennard is saying is all pure nonsense!"
As she spoke, Sophie continued speaking without hesitation, "My benefactor saved my life. If what Old Master Lennard said is true, and if I am a moth and he is the raging flames, why didn't I get burned to death, then? Why did he save my life instead? I think that Old Master Lennard is simply saying things recklessly and irresponsibly!”
