Chapter 6

Clara had no heart to listen to Zev's rambling,and she interrupted him.

"Auntie Rosalind has already helped me apply for immigration.I want Asen to help,as soon as possible and as soon as possible.

"Please don't tell Leon about this."

"All right,Clara,I promise you."

Soon,Clara received a message on his phone.It was a strange phone number.

When Clara's father was still alive,he was sworn brothers with the father of Jasper,Zev,Leon and Asen.

Later,the Theodore family went into business.After Clara's father sacrificed his life,Clara was adopted by the Theodore family.Asen firmly refused and eventually broke off relations with Clara.

From then on,Clara lost contact with him,only occasionally hearing some news about him from Zev's mouth.

It was said that he was doing well abroad,being involved in both black and white,and studying at a top university.

Will he take it?

Clara looked at the string of numbers,his hand trembling slightly.

She took a deep breath,held her breath,and dialed.

Beep-beep-

Surprisingly,the phone was picked up quickly.

"Asen."Clara asked uncertainly.

"Clara."

Neither of them spoke any more.After a long while,Clara spoke.

"I want to leave Cloud City.Could you help me change my identity?"

"Yes,but once you change your identity,you won't be able to go back to Cloud City,you won't be able to see your Leon,are you sure?"

Clara pretended not to have noticed Asen's sourness and gave a forceful"mm-hmm."

"The sooner,the better."

"Ok,at the earliest it will be seven days and I'll pick you up then."

When the phone call was hung up,Clara's originally calm heart began to stir.

If she really left,she would never see her parents again,and Jasper,they wouldn't blame her,would they?

That night Clara had a dream for the first time ever.

In the dream,Jasper took her hand and led her to the amusement park.

They stood at the top of the Ferris wheel,looking out over the whole city of Cloud,and kissed passionately.

"Clara,wait for me.When this mission is done,I'll propose to the uncles and aunts."

"Oh,how could there be such an early proposal?I'm just in college."

"I have to get a good wife too early.If I get eyed by another guy in college,I'll be a stone to watch my wife."

"Jasper,you don't feel ashamed."Clara blushed and pounded Jasper.

"Clara,I'm serious."Jasper became serious."Wait for me to come back."

Before Clara could respond,the Ferris wheel suddenly began to shake.

Gunfire,shouts and explosions followed one after another in their ears.

"Oh no,it was a raid."Jasper picked up Clara,leaped into the air as the Ferris wheel was about to fall,and safely hid her in the ground cover.

"No,Jasper,it's too dangerous.Come back quickly."

"Clara,wait for me here obediently.Do not come out."With that,he rushed back without looking back.

"Jasper,no!"Clara shouted at him with all his might,but even when she shouted her throat out,Jasper still didn't turn back.

"No,no."Clara woke up from her dream,drenched in sweat.She took her phone and checked the time.It was three o'clock in the morning.

She let out a soft sigh and sat up from her bed.

Clara looked at the empty spot beside him.Leon probably won't be back for the next few days.

She tossed and turned in bed for a long time but still couldn't fall asleep,so she got out of bed.
