Chapter 1396 - 1395: Discovery in the Black Market
If these words were a promise, that would be great.
Andrew felt a bit lost but quickly hid his emotions.
......
The meal was eaten in fear and unease. After seeing Mr. and Mrs. Morgan off, Shirley and Alan looked at Andrew.
"We need to go see Gerry. Do you want to come along?"
If Andrew were her brother, then he would be Gerry’s uncle.
Upon hearing Shirley’s words, Andrew hesitated for a moment and shook his head.
"I’m going to the hospital to check on Owen; Annie probably can’t manage alone over there."
Besides, Annie’s health isn’t very good right now.
"Alright, make sure to inform me if anything happens."
Alan nodded.
Because he’d promised Gerry to visit him at this time, he absolutely couldn’t break his word to the child.
Besides, Gerry would definitely be sitting on the hospital bed waiting, eagerly looking at the Grand Gate.
"Alright, you guys go ahead."
Watching Alan and Shirley leave, Andrew sat alone on the chair in the Private Room,
reaching out to light a cigarette, filling the room with smoke instantly.
His vision turned blurry.
Arnold sat there feeling a bit depressed, motionless.
Hospital—
Annie stayed by Owen Lewis, who had just come out of the surgery room. Seeing his pale face and the bandages wrapped around him, her eyes reddened.
Did he think he was a shield? Didn’t he know how to avoid danger?
Sitting idle made Annie’s eyes even redder.
When Andrew came in and looked at Annie, he said,
"Are you really planning to just waste away here? Didn’t you say you have nothing to do with Owen Lewis anymore?"
Andrew stood there looking at Annie’s state, his brow furrowed.
"What I do has nothing to do with you."
Annie sat there, unmoving.
Seeing her like this, Andrew was helpless too.
"If I were you, I would investigate the truth of this matter, rather than sitting here wasting away."
Annie looked up at Andrew. Of course, she knew this, but...
"At least... at least I want to see him wake up."
She had to be sure he was safe.
Otherwise, how could she be at ease investigating this matter?
Watching Annie in this state, Andrew sighed and sat on a chair, watching them.
"If you still like Owen Lewis, why did you divorce him?"
Their feelings were clear to them. If Annie said Owen Lewis didn’t like her, they wouldn’t believe it.
Annie sat there, silent for a long time.
She needed to rethink her own heart, to see what...
There were too many things that needed careful consideration.
......
After Yancy Hastings returned, he went to the Underground Black Market.
There was no one here now, and the bodies around had been dealt with, leaving only the fresh blood on the ground.
The obvious traces of bombing made people frown. To be honest, it was quite desolate here.
Too many places had been smashed. The complete mess made it hard to investigate this matter in a short time.
However, there must be something left at this scene.
He frowned, walking forward step by step. In the distance, under the light, something reflected a gleam.
Though it was just a flicker.
Yancy Hastings immediately walked forward, bent down, and picked it up.
It was a bronze plaque, clearly engraved with a word, "黑" (Black)!
