Dr. Turners past

When Heather saw how indifferent Dr. Turner’s attitude was, she became even more worried. It seemed like he didn’t care about such things at all, and Heather didn’t know what to use to move him if he didn’t care about anything material and external. Furthermore, he looked indifferent to fame and profit, making her even more uncertain where to start. What should I do now? Heather thought to herself as she looked at Dr. Turner in distress. She was even more bothered by the fact that he hadn’t even responded once so far.With that, Heather believed she had to take the initiative instead of continuing to be so passive. After all, her grandfather’s life was concerned. She walked directly up to Dr. Turner and stared at him, making him totally unable to ignore her. She was very confident of her charms, so she didn’t believe Dr. Turner wouldn’t be drawn to that as a man.Meanwhile, the latter looked at her with an unperturbed expression. He couldn’t understand what she meant, though he wouldn

Being refused isn’t terrible

However, things didn’t develop in the direction Heather had hoped it would. Instead of giving her a chance to talk about her measures, Dr. Turner resolutely said to her, “I don’t need anyone’s help.”She looked at Dr. Turner with a baffled expression. This doctor is unable to tell good from bad, she thought to herself. She was a little angry; not only had Dr. Turner turned her down repeatedly, she didn’t even get to know how good his medical skills were. This put her in a totally unfavorable situation. “Aren’t you afraid that you might suddenly die before you can treat the forest?” She continued to persuade him, believing that everyone had their own weaknesses.However, Dr. Turner cast Heather an emotionless glance. “I’m a doctor, so I’m well aware of my own condition.” He was unmoved, for he knew that he still had time.“Accident and tomorrow—who knows which might come first?” Heather was still unwilling to give up hope. She believed her hunch, and she just knew that Dr. Turner posse

Accident strikes again

The sky gradually darkened. Heather and Leon walked together, but they still couldn’t see any sign of the car. A rather worried Leon then asked, “Are you sure the car is really parked at a conspicuous spot, Heather?” He even suspected that the car might have been stolen.“I’m sure of that.” Heather felt they would probably see the car if they walked a little further.“It can’t possibly have been stolen, can it?” asked Leon, discouraged. As such, he couldn’t stop himself from voicing his doubts.“That’s not possible,” Heather replied categorically. The car had a superb anti-theft function, so how could it be stolen that easily?Leon continued to follow Heather. It’s so normal for a luxury car parked in desolate countryside to be made off with, he thought to himself. Instantly, he lost all his vigor like a deflated balloon, and they walked around while looking fruitlessly for a long time.Eventually, Heather took her cell phone out of her pocket. At this moment, it seemed that they coul

Nowhere is absolutely safe

In the end, Leon nodded solemnly. “I understand that.” The word ‘understand’ almost broke his heart. He thought he could give Heather his best wishes in an easygoing manner, but it seemed like he was unable to do so since he still had wishful ideas. “I’ve looked into Matthias for you, Heather.” In reality, he had already begun investigating Matthias when he met the latter, for he didn’t allow anyone to approach Heather purposefully.She was a little surprised by this, but what Leon said was understandable. Then, she looked at him before turning her gaze to somewhere else. “Zayne has looked into Matthias as well.” Sometimes, Heather considered herself lucky that the men protecting her were all exceptional—they’d entrust her to someone else as long as they could see that she was happy.“Matthias has really fallen in love with you, and he had no ulterior motives when he approached you. Perhaps he hesitated because he didn’t know if he should go against his entire family for your sake.” L

The great escape

Since there was no time for more consideration right now, Heather decided to follow Zayne’s instructions. However, Leon disagreed with her. “Can I tell you my opinion, Heather?” He thought what Zayne had said sounded too exaggerated. He had been hunted himself, so he believed he was qualified to speak. “Three hours isn’t long. It’s better to stay at the police station instead of spending time looking for the address.” He didn’t believe that someone would burst into the police station and kill people in large numbers. Such a situation appeared mostly in films and TV dramas, but it rarely happened in reality.“Since Zayne has told us to do so, I believe that he’s given this serious and careful consideration.” On the contrary, Heather didn’t think Zayne was making a mountain out of a molehill. She knew him very well, and she was aware that he was a person with great finesse.“Heather, it’ll be more likely for us to encounter danger if we go out right now.” Leon needed to remind her about

That person

The process of waiting was very boring, so Heather and Leon killed time by talking nonsense. They engaged in small talk since neither of them had expected the destination to be such a place. However, there were still two hours left when they fell silent. They both looked at each other, wondering how they should spend the rest of the time. Not only that, they wondered if those trying to kill them realized they had come here without any hiccups. Were they really safe in the wilderness?Just then, Heather’s eyes met Leon’s. As they made eye contact, the latter didn’t know what to say at such a time. Since they couldn’t find any topics to talk about, they had a false impression that they were caught in a deadlock.“Why don’t we watch a movie together, Leon?” Heather suggested, for she felt that carrying on like this wasn’t the solution.However, Leon shook his head in response. “I’m afraid that we might miss the subtle noises around us, Heather. A quiet atmosphere like this is more suitab

A deep one

As soon as Zayne finished his sentence, he noticed the strained expressions on Heather and Leon’s faces. There was an inexplicable embarrassment when he brought up the subject of engagement directly. Sensing the embarrassment he caused, he smiled and decided it was better to directly skip the topic. After all, he couldn’t fathom womens’ minds despite being a great detective, let alone Heather’s thoughts since she never let anyone see through her innermost ideas.The three decided to get on the plane first and discuss the other matters later on. While they were on the helicopter, Leon quietly sat aside in a rare occurrence, whereas Zayne sat next to Heather. He opened his mouth, but there was something that he couldn’t bring himself to say. On the other hand, Heather noticed Zayne was troubled and simply winked at him. When Leon noticed their little gestures, he understood at once that the two seemed to have some secrets they didn’t want him to know about.Time flew swiftly by on the h

Left in a wild forest

Heather didn’t know whether to laugh or cry in the face of these sudden incidents. After all, most people would never have expected such an outcome. However, when she saw how confident Zayne looked, she suddenly felt much relieved. Indeed, she had great expectations for him at first, but he wore down her anticipation bit by bit.Now that she heard him saying so, she felt much more relieved. She trusted him completely, and she believed that he had the ability to turn things around. Heather, who had a heavy heart at first, felt a lot more relaxed right now. She looked at the scenery outside the car window and discovered that this was not the way back to Bradfort City.Meanwhile, a scheming flicker flashed across Zayne’s eyes as he stared at the back of Heather’s head. However, when she turned her head around, he put on his signature smile again.“Where are you taking me to?” From the looks of it, Heather felt like they’d be leaving Bradfort City completely if they went any further.“We

What you don’t know

Sleepiness overtook Heather, but she was afraid of falling onto the ground. Hence, she would stir a little and wake up at once as she curled herself up on the tiny sofa. She turned up the heater to full blast, but she felt chilly no matter what since she had only a thin blanket on her. She wondered if Zayne didn’t have enough time to fix up this shelter or if he was deliberately pulling pranks on her. She appeared to be in a bad mood as she rubbed her nose in a very unladylike fashion.She was bored stiff as there wasn’t even a TV inside the cabin. She couldn’t sleep well, nor could she watch a soap opera even if she wanted to. At this moment, she missed the bustling scenes of Bradfort City terribly. Now, it seemed so hard to get what had been within her easy reach. Heather buried her face in the sofa and took a deep sniff at its genuine leather, for it smelled way more pleasant than the stench in the cabin.Since she couldn’t sleep no matter what, she decided to play her trump card b

Who wants to live like a slave

Now that they had reached this point in their conversation, Leon could only take away the documents on the coffee table sulkily. Then, he stood up and nodded at Zayne. “I disagree with you, but you made me admire you as I did back when I was a child,” he said before leaving right away. He was now very confused since he couldn’t find a better way to protect Heather.After Leon left, Jason sat down on the sofa across from Zayne. This sofa is really comfortable, he thought to himself as he stretched his body while holding a bottle of iced black tea in his hand. The cold didn’t bother him at all. “Why did you turn him down?” he asked after downing half of the liquid.Zayne played with his own hands. “I will not work with anyone else. They’re all businessmen; no matter how nice they sound, they only care about their self-interests. I don’t want to be swallowed whole by them.”Jason listened as if he understood what Zayne said. There seemed to be some truth in the latter’s words, but he did
