"Let's go!"
Darryl did not bother to say anything more. His presence helped Jewel see the situation clearly, and he dragged her along with him as he strode away.
At that moment, Darryl felt incredibly guilty. He initially thought that if he encouraged Jewel to return to her family, she would receive her long-lost family's affection. He did not expect that it almost destroyed her innocence.
At the same time, Darryl was also secretly relieved. Luckily, he followed along. If not, he would not dare imagine what would happen then.
"Hmm!"
They had just exited the Moore family's main entrance when Jewel's body turned to jelly. She almost fell to the ground.
Darryl's reflexes were quick. He snatched her into his arms right away. He asked with concern, "What happened?"
Jewel's lovely face flushed red as she stood in Darryl's arms, sensing his aura. She bit her lower lip and softly murmured, "I recently advanced to the next level. The internal energy in my energy field was slightly interrupted as Bruce jabbed my acupoints.
Darryl sensed her powers when he heard that, true to Jewel's words, her internal energy in the energy field displayed indications of disruption.
If a cultivator's acupoints were suddenly jabbed when they were breaking through to another level, it would be dangerous for them.
If their arteries were pricked and their internal energy could not flow freely through their meridians, it would cause unknown hidden dangers, or if it was severe, it could lead to a psychotic break.
Darryl inwardly swore as he sensed that. The Moores were monsters. They came very close to causing Jewel irreparable injury.
Darryl did not hesitate anymore. He immediately brought Jewel to a nearby hotel and booked a room.
Upon entering the room, Darryl was still carrying Jewel. He opened his mouth and said, "Don't worry, I'll help you open a path for your energy field and meridian later."
Darryl was still carrying Jewel as he entered the room. "Do not worry," he said. "I will help you open a path for your energy field and meridian later."
Then, Darryl put Jewel on the bed.
Swoosh!
Darryl's thoughtfulness struck jewel. An odd emotion arose in her heart at the same time. Her lovely face flushed, oddly shy and ashamed. She could not figure out where to put her hands.
Despite her embarrassment, Jewel stated resolutely, "Mister, no need; I can do it myself."
Darryl was heartbroken when he heard that. He took Jewel's hand in his and murmured, "I am sorry. Listen to me; it would be easier if I assisted you. By the way, Jewel, I'm very sorry. It's all my fault. I should not have encouraged you to return to your family."
