Who Does She Look Like

Sasha ran over and stood in front of Shin, protecting him.

“I can’t just let you die. He hasn’t seen you yet. How am I going to explain to him if you’re gone?”

Sweat had beaded on her pretty face that was coated with dust from the earlier explosion.

However, her eyes were as bright as ever as she gazed at Shin, looking like burning flames in the dark.

Her stubbornness and determination broke the old monk’s heart.

“You…”

Tears welled up in his eyes.

By then, Sasha had already turned around to glare at Eddie.

“I’m here now, so let all of them go!” She pointed at the monks around them before pointing at Sabrina

and Edmund as well.

Eddie lifted a brow.

He had to admit that he was a little taken aback, for he did not think that Sasha would come to him on

her own accord.

It seems like that madman has an interesting taste in women.

In the end, Eddie gestured for his men to let the monks go.

“Very well, since you seem like a smart woman, I’ll let them go. Don’t worry. As long as your husband

appears, I won’t hurt you either,” he said, surprisingly trying to console her with his words.

Sasha scoffed at that. Then, she took a step forward, about to leave with him.

“No! You can’t take her. You can’t!” Sabrina exclaimed as she sprinted over to try and save Sasha.

Unfortunately, she was completely powerless to do so. The moment she moved, dozens of guns were

immediately trained on her, and Edmund hastily pulled her back with a trembling arm.

Even Shin’s face had pale.

In truth, he had always been a calm and collected man. Decades of being a monk had softened his

rough edges. Although he had been forced to stay in the temple back then, time had managed to take

away most of his earthly desires.

That was why Sasha and Sebastian never saw him fazed by anything.

However, at that very moment, the concrete he had encased his heart in was starting to crack.

“Eddie, I’m warning you. Don’t you dare lay a finger on her. Take a look at her and think about who she

looks like.”

Eddie, who was about to step into his car, paused. He then turned to look at the old monk, who had an

uncharacteristically grim expression on his face.

What does he mean?

At that thought, Eddie’s eyes drifted toward Sasha behind him.

Similarly, the others at the temple held their breaths and looked at Sasha quizzically.

What they saw was a woman coated from head to toe in dust, while her hair was in a mess despite it

still being in a ponytail. In other words, Sasha looked as if she had just crawled out of a dumpster.

Yet, the longer Eddie looked at her, the more he realized how familiar she looked. Right then, the

profile of someone’s face appeared in his mind.

The mole by the corner of Sasha’s right eye, especially, was identical to that person.

“She’s… She’s…”

“That’s right. She’s Judith Silvester’s granddaughter. Back then, Judith and your brother took ten long

and arduous years to establish the new government. Not only that, she even abandoned her young

daughter and sacrificed herself for the country. Until now, her statue still stands proudly in the Legacy

Hall. It’s best for you to think well whether or not to lay a finger on her granddaughter,” Shin gritted out.

At that moment, it was as if he had returned to his former glory self as a formidable general on the

battlefield. There was a fire blazing in his eyes, and he was as ferocious as a mighty beast. Anyone

who chanced a glance at him would have shudders running down their spines.

Eddie’s face lost all colors.

Judith Silvester?

The founding woman who’s as monumental and famous as my brother?

No. This can’t be right. How can this girl be her granddaughter? Didn’t they say that Judith lost her kid

during the revolution?

How did this girl become her granddaughter?

“No, you’re lying. There’s no way she’s Judith’s granddaughter! Back then, after my brother was done

with establishing the country, he went on a search for Judith’s daughter. But, he never found her. So

how can this girl be her granddaughter?”

Eddie refused to believe in anything Shin said.

Shin sneered in response. “Why not? The first mission I got as the special forces’ commander was to

search for the founding mother’s descendant. It took me three years to find her mother, Heather

Blackwood.”

“H-Heather Blackwood?”

“Yes, she was taken in by the Blackwood family. Judith was forced to leave her daughter behind

because the girl was suffering from a severe illness. Thus, her guard went to the Blackwood family with

Heather. Back then, the Blackwood family was a family of doctors. Jackson’s father, in fact, had brilliant

medical skills. Thus, Heather stayed with them,” Shin explained truthfully.
