However, just because Cynthia refused did not mean Chyler did not want to talk to her. When he saw her ignoring him, he strode over with her long legs and blocked her path. "Let's talk?""About?" Cynthia was still rather calm toward everyone except Joshua."Ellora," Chyler uttered.Over the past half month, he had turned the world upside down, trying to find her. He had searched almost everywhere he could think of in Nexuria, but he had not found a trace or even the slightest bit of information.Cynthia suddenly understood the saying 'birds of a feather flock together'. Both Joshua and Chyler were scumbags."I searched everywhere but couldn't find her. I want to know where she is," Chyler said calmly, even though he wished he could teach Cynthia a lesson."I don't know," Cynthia replied.Those words triggered Chyler's suppressed anger. "Don't test my patience.""What if I do?" Cynthia was frustrated, and Chyler was the perfect outlet. "Can you win in a fight against me?"Chy
Cynthia recalled Ellora's previous mention of divorce and said, "If you really want to see her, wait a few more months. She'll contact you."Under normal circumstances, the husband could not initiate a divorce during pregnancy, but the wife could. Ellora would have a solid case for filing for divorce since Chyler pressured Ellora to have an abortion. However, Chyler had not even considered the possibility of divorce and only replied to Cynthia with a question, "Is she willing to see me?""She needs some time to consider and calm down." Cynthia did not answer him directly.Hearing this, Chyler automatically interpreted it as what he had done previously had caused a significant emotional impact on her, and she did not want to contact him for the time being. With that thought, he felt slightly relieved. He was willing to wait as long as Ellora was willing to see him. "Take good care of her during this time. If she needs anything, you can let me know." Chyler looked at Cynthia.
"What injury?" Cynthia asked."The staff told me you had just fallen and were badly injured." Joshua hurried over upon hearing this news.Cynthia froze. Suddenly, it all became clear to her. Cynthia was about to speak up and tell him that he had been tricked when she saw the door that Joshua had opened being closed by a person dressed in black, wearing a black mask and hat.Bang!The loud noise made Joshua turn to look. In an instant, he also understood and asked, "You're fine?""I'm fine." Cynthia remained calm.After hearing this answer from her, Joshua felt relieved and turned back to open the door. Cynthia stared at the door. As she had expected, the door was locked tight and could not be opened, even after a few tries. Joshua frowned. Compared to the other rooms, this room was slightly more secluded. Moreover, everyone was on the first floor, so even if he broke the door, no one downstairs would hear any noise.While contemplating, Joshua took out his phone to c
While doing so might not be particularly effective, it was still better than breathing in the air directly. "Josh—" Cynthia also noticed that he seemed unusually hot. "Hurry." Joshua's gaze grew even deeper.Cynthia took out a cotton mask from her pocket and dampened it in the bathroom. After wringing the water out, she put it on, and the scent became faint to almost undetectable. Seeing that Cynthia had done what he asked, Joshua walked straight toward her.Cynthia was about to ask him what he planned to do, but he had already appeared before her.Joshua's voice was extremely hoarse, barely audible. "No matter what happens later, don't come in."Cynthia was once again left confused."If you don't listen, whatever I do to you will be your own doing," Joshua said before entering the bathroom and locking the door behind him.It did not take long for the sound of water to emerge from inside, and Cynthia quickly understood what he meant. However… even if he took a cold shower
After dealing with the potential danger that could erupt at any moment, Cynthia helped Joshua up and laid him on the bed. Joshua probably never thought that Cynthia calling him out was merely to knock him out and eliminate him as a 'dangerous' factor.For Cynthia, finding the source of the scent in the room and the signal jammer was necessary. If they were to stay here for a few more hours, she would be unable to hold on.If Joshua continued taking a cold shower in the bathroom, it would be manageable if he could maintain control. However, if he lost control halfway through and ran out, she would have to exert much effort to bring him down.Rather than that, it was better to resolve the situation in advance and have the safety in her hands. Over the next hour, Cynthia searched methodically, conducting a carpet-style search. Fortunately, luck was on her side. In the end, Cynthia found the source of the scent in four places, such as the television and stereo, which had heat dissip
Cynthia did not know whether Captain was on a mission or resting. With a mix of complex and anxious feelings, she dialed his regular number. If he were not at the base, he would answer, but if he were at the base, it would not be appropriate to call.Beep...As the phone rang, Cynthia's heart raced. This was Captain—their devilish instructor.It was tough for all of them when they were under his training. Now, even recalling the sound of him calling her name would reflexively make her tense up, and her spirits heightened. However, that was exactly what she needed. As long as Captain spoke to her, she could focus all her attention on the phone call. Even if she reached the same state Joshua had just experienced, she would obediently listen to him to avoid trouble. Taking a deep breath, Cynthia's heart pounded. Though she still felt that sensation in her body, she could not care about it at the moment. On the fourth ring, the call connected, followed by a dignified and deep voice
"I can explain." Cynthia rubbed her brows, feeling a bit overwhelmed. The person on the other end remained silent, clearly wanting to see what kind of explanation she could come up with."I was locked in a room with a friend, and the scent inside could affect one's temperature. I just wanted to call you and calm down." Cynthia changed her wording, but she knew Captain would understand.Hearing her words, the man on the other end did not know whether to be angry or amused. Calling him to calm herself down?Only she could come up with something like that."Are you calm now?""Yes, I am.""Are the surroundings safe?""Yes."With these answers, the person on the other end of the phone felt slightly reassured. Now that he was relieved, he said straightforwardly, "Since you're safe, there are some matters we should talk about.""What is it?""About how you used me to calm down."Captain emphasized the words 'calm down'. Cynthia's worries resurfaced. "What about?""We can t
"Okay." Moses handed her the purchased items. From his angle, even if people were outside, they could not see what he was doing, let alone recognize Cynthia as the person opening the door.After delivering the items, Moses followed Cynthia's instructions and waited outside.Cynthia took out the items Moses had bought and selected one to inject into Joshua. Then she waited there.After about ten minutes, Joshua's body temperature gradually turned normal, and he began to regain consciousness.Cynthia turned on the signal jammer again and said casually, "Once you wake up, put on your clothes and leave."Joshua was confused and stared at her, surprised by her nonchalant tone. He thought Cynthia was a heartless woman."What are you lying around for?" Cynthia, seeing that he had opened his eyes but had not moved, reminded him, "You disappeared for over an hour. Grandpa and the others might be looking for you."Joshua remained silent. Then, he got up and changed his clothes.Throu
