Chapter 238 In my shoes

Jack looked into Elma's eyes with a complicated expression on his face. He knew that the operation would be successful however he didn't know how he should tell her about it.

He can't say that he has asked with his truth meter as Elma didn't know about his power and Jack didn't wanna tell her about his Ero Meter.

After thinking for some time Jack sighed and placed his hand on her shoulder and looked her in the eyes. nove(1b-In

"You have to trust me. I promise that I will get out of this operation alive." Jack said with a serious tone.

He needed this operation and for that, he would have to persuade Elma.

And he also has to hide the fact that he knows for sure that he will get out of this successfully because his truth meter told him.

And this was a hard thing for him to do, he couldn't come up with a valid excuse right now, he could only tell her to trust him in his decision and hope that she wouldn't make it hard for him.

He knew that Elma was only denying him because she cared about him, even if there was a one per cent chance of failure she would deny him.

She loved him and could never live without him and it has become even more difficult to convince her after the Mount Everest incident, Jack almost died there.

"Are you insane?" Elma looked at him with an angry expression.

She knew that chances of success were low and the penalty of failure was death, so there was nothing about trust here. It was simple math that the risk was extremely high.

Trusting him would do nothing as the risk would be the same either way.

She would never allow him to go through the operation after what happened previously.

Previously she blamed herself for the Mount Everest Incident when she heard the news that Jack was dead.

She knew that if she never let him go in the first place then she would have never heard such news.

And she didn't want that to happen again, she was lucky the last time that Jack returned, but, she was not sure this time.

After all, just how many times can luck be with him, she had seen his body and there were many scars on it. She knew that Jack had gone through a much more difficult time at Mount Everest than he showed.

"Elma." Jack held her hand. "You are the only one that can help me, I need this power." He said.

Jack knew that if he didn't get the power from the operation then one day or another he would face some trouble and he might not be able to protect his girls. He didn't want that to happen.

"No, I would never let you go and die in that operation!" Elma said with a frown on her face.

"I will die either way," Jack said he knew that he would die one day if he didn't have enough power as there were many strange people behind him.

Like the guy Firn the other day, Jack didn't know where he came from, he just knew that he was there to take him because of Nicole and at that time he wasn't able to protect himself or Elma.

If not for Nicole coming in time then he would have to sacrifice himself to save Elma and he could only imagine what that Firn would have done to him.

He might have killed him or might have tortured him. He was not sure and uncertainty was something that Jack hated.

As he was not only responsible for his life but his girls too.

Elma listened to his words and her heart skipped a beat. Her eyes widened and she placed a hand on his face.

She didn't know why Jack was saying such words.

She didn't want him to die, no matter what.

"What are you saying?" She asked, her tone lower this time.

"I mean, I am surrounded by danger all the time and this is the only way I can get power for myself. Otherwise, I don't know what will happen to me. You have seen it with your own eyes." He said and took in a deep breath.

Previously when he faced Firn, Elma was with him and knew that his life could have been in danger if Nicole hadn't come on time.

She turned silent at his words and her thoughts started revolving.

On the one hand, she was scared of the fact that Jack's operation might be a failure and on the other hand there were all the strange occurrences he was surrounded with.

Even Nicole has turned into a murderous superpower and Elma has seen it with her own eyes.

She doesn't know how she should react to this situation, everything depends on her decision now.

After some contemplation, she took in a deep breath and looked into his eyes. "What would you have done if you were in my place?" She asked.

She couldn't come up with a final design and placed Jack in her shoes. She wanted him to feel what she was feeling right now.

She knew that he would also not be able to decide as both options were pretty dangerous.

There were chances of dying either way.

"What do you mean?" Jack asked although he could guess what direction she was going in, however, he wanted to make things clear.

"I mean what if I want to go through the operation? Would you let me?" She asked.

She could tell that Jack would never let her go through such a dangerous operation.

"Sure," Jack answered without any hesitation. He knew the future and knew that nothing would happen to Elma if she went through the operation.

When Elma heard his words she was shocked at first then an angry expression appeared on her face.

"OK then! If you really wanna go through the operation then I will do it before you!" She said in a determined tone. She wanted him to feel the fear she was feeling.

"Ok, you can go through the operation," Jack said while placing a hand over her shoulder.

Elma's eyes stayed wide at his words, she didn't know why he was saying such words. There was a clear risk in the operation so how could Jack let her do it?

Could he not love her anymore and was only using her all this time?

Strange thoughts started entering her mind as tears formed in her eyes.

She couldn't believe that Jack would let her go through such a risky operation just so he could go through it.

She was afraid that Jack didn't care about her life anymore.

Jack looked at her expression and could tell what was going through her mind. A sigh moved through his mouth and he made her sit on the sofa. And then sat beside her.

"I know what you are thinking, I still love you. However, I know that this operation would be successful for both of us, or I would have never let you go through it." He said while holding her hand.

Jack was telling the truth if the chance of failure was even a single per cent then he would have never let her do something like this.

He loved Elma and his every other girl, he would never put their life at risk just for his own benefit.

He was not that selfish, he would rather die himself than to see any of his girls getting harmed.

This time he was sure of the result, and that was the reason why he agreed to put Elma's life at risk.

Elma heard his words and was a bit confused. She didn't know how Jack was so sure that nothing would happen to her in the operation.

However, for some reason, she believed in Jack, as he had never been wrong and she was madly in love with him.

She could feel that he was saying things with genuine intent. Taking a deep breath she wiped the tears from her eyes and nodded.

She agreed to arrange the operation for both of them.

After that, she kissed him on the lips and opened her laptop again, where Jack could see all the information related to the operation.

In the operation, they inject radioactive material into the blood of the patient and keep him or her under ultraviolet rays for two days.

Seventy per cent of the patients always die just at the first dose of the radioactive liquid and the rest die in the next two days.

Only point three per cent of the people go through the two days of ultraviolet rays and get out alive and even some of them die a few days later.

The chances of success were extremely low and the cost of the operation was very high. One needed ten million dollars just to go through the operation with such low chances of success.

However if one succeeded then they would get their money back and even an offer in the red collars.
