The next day, Cyrus arrived at the doorstep dressed in a soldier's attire.
"Congratulations. You both persevered till the very end."
I leaned against Hendrix, and we smiled at each other. I quickly invited him in.
After serving tea, Hendrix asked the question that I was most concerned about, "Do you have any news about Jordan?"
After hearing these words, Cyrus, who was taking a sip of his tea, put his cup down and shook his head regretfully. "I'm still investigating. The same goes for Stanley's gang. It's like they have evaporated into thin air. There's no news at all."
"Does this mean that there is a possibility that Jordan will run away?" I frowned.
Jordan was an intelligent man. Once he was out of the police's radar, with his ability, it would only be a matter of time before he makes a comeback.
Hendrix and our family didn't betray him. Hence, we should not be subjected to endless harassment.
"Mrs. Roberts, you don't have to be so pessimistic.
You have to believe in my ability. So far, none of those whom I had targeted at the borders had been able to escape. You can rest assured that you can live a peaceful life with your family. You don't have to worry about this matter anymore." In reality, Cyrus didn't take Jordan seriously.
It wasn't his fault.
One would only know how terrible it was when the situation occurred to oneself.
My heart couldn't calm down
completely as I quietly watched the children play in the hall. Hendrix was deeply affected by the resentment from the previous generation. Did he want my child to repeat the same mistakes and suffer the pain of killing each other again?
No. Absolutely not.
With a heavy heart, I looked at Cyrus and exclaimed seriously, "Mr. Zimmer, we can't be so passive. With a population of nearly a hundred million people in Jarold City, it's almost impossible to find him. We should capture whoever we have in our grasp."
"Oh?" Cyrus raised his eyebrows, and his eyes lit up with interest. "Capture whoever we have in our grasp?"Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.
Glancing at Hendrix, I explained seriously, "I can't guarantee that I can successfully arrest him with my method, but I can give it a try..."
The next morning, the ambulance arrived at the Reid family's home and drove me to the best private hospital in Jarold City. After being diagnosed, I was finally sent to the emergency ward.
All of a sudden, the news swept through all social mediaworks, and some people even predicted that I would not survive for more than a month.
This was supposed to be a trap to lure Jordan. However, Andrea arrived instead.
The patients on this floor had all been transferred away just for Jordan's arrival into the hospital. The patients and their family members had been replaced by plain- clothed soldiers and guards. Hence, Andrea used this loophole to get into the hospital.
At that time, I was lying inside the quarantine ward with an oxygen mask on. I exchanged eye contact with Andrea's red and swollen eyes.
Seeing that I was frightened, Andrea
suddenly giggled. "Haha, didn't know that you'd be scared. Arianna, don't you think you deserve it? You've been challenging me for half your life, and you still end up being the one who's going to die in the end. What a waste!"
Since I was acting like a dying patient at that moment, I wasn't able to do anything else except stare at her silently.
Andrea walked around my hospital
bed as she knew I couldn't move. As
nee
she walked, she removed my protective shield and threw it on the ground. You have always been protected by others. You used to be protected by Hendrix, and now, these shabby protective shields that are protecting you. Come, let me see how tenacious you are. How long can you survive without these protective shields?"
