Trapped in Love

Chapter 892

Kenny returned to Grand East Hospital and found Neil chatting with Alex and Lucas at the entrance of the ICU.

The three children stood close together, eyes shut as if in slumber.

Approaching the trio, Kenny noticed they awaited his response. He shook his head and said, “It’s not Scott.”

“Not him? What made you sure?” Alex asked.

Kenny recounted his conversation with Scott.

Lucas reacted to the narrative and couldn’t help but rub his arms. “Feels like a form of manipulation.”

The others stared at Lucas, who defended his perspective, “Why are you looking at me like this? Didn’t he manipulate your emotions using the years–long friendship card?”

Neil mumbled, “Did he?”

Lucas clarified, “As an outsider, I see it. He exploited your long–standing friendship to clear his name. Any smart person would, right?”

Kenny grasped the situation, “So, he intentionally framed it that way?”

Alex reflected, “Did he mention visiting Caroline?”

“He did. I told him to wait until she’s awake,” Kenny replied.

“If he genuinely cared, no one could stop him, right?” mocked Alex.

Lucas nodded, adding, “Clearly, he’s feeling guilty.”

Neil massaged his temples, processing their analysis. Unable to ascertain the truthfulness of Scott’s remark, he was interrupted by Axel. “Uncle Neil.”

All eyes turned to Axel as he expressed, “I would like to seek a favor from you.”

Curious, Neil asked, “What is it?”

“Get the two bullets from the doctor and the one that killed Daniella,” Axel Instructed.

Axel’s remark sparked enlightenment among the group.

Lucas exclaimed, “Yes! We can match the model and find a seller!”

Alex glanced at Lucas and countered, “Are you underestimating the complexity of the situation?

Information about buyers for such smuggled goods is strictly confidential.”

Undeterred, Lucas suggested, “Pay for the information, then!”

Alex questioned, “If the other party is powerful enough, do you think the seller will be interested in your money?”

Lucas said in frustration, “Damn, what should we do then?” 1

Axel intervened, “I just want the model number of the bullets. Leave the rest to Ty and me.”

Neil immediately shot down the idea. “No! It’s very dangerous for you if the other party locates your IP address.”

Axel pleaded, “Uncle Neil, trust Ty and me.”

After considering, Neil agreed, “I’ll arrange for someone to fetch your laptops tomorrow. Do it from the hospital, and try your best not to expose your real location.”

Axel reassured, “I thought so too. After all, I won’t go anywhere when Mommy is here.” He gazed at the room’s glass window.

The next morning, Neil received the bullet models and directed his bodyguard to retrieve Tyler and Axel’s laptops from Bayview Villa.

Tyler contemplated the bullet photo in the VIP room while Axel typed away, his actions shrouded in mystery.

Concerned, Liora asked, “Is it challenging to investigate, Axel?”

Tyler replied, “Not really. I’m waiting for Axel to breach the firewall.”

Liora clutched Tyler’s shirt. “Ty, is this dangerous for you?” Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

Tyler asked, “Why do you ask?”

Liora confessed with tears, “I don’t want you two to be in danger too.”
