Chapter 730 Shawn Breaks Free From Trouble
I remembered the watch that I had thrown out of the car window and hurriedly returned to my room to contact Waylen.
No, I should contact Anthony. Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.
Because the tracking system of the watch came from the Xenoses.
I sent a message to Anthony. 'I met Shawn today. He is currently being held captive. I threw my watch near the warehouse where he is detained. I'm not sure if there will be any signal from my watch at the location. Please open the global positioning system and help me to investigate. Once you find the address… We don't have many people in Novaria now. Please see if you can bribe the locals to rescue Shawn. The cost doesn't matter.'
Anthony replied, 'Yes, Miss.'
I waited patiently in the room for Anthony's message when Andrew called out from the door, "Go and attend to Mike's wounds."
I ignored Andrew, and he called out again, "Hey, go and attend to Mike's wounds. He must be feeling terrible right now."
I opened the door and stated, "Shawn is the one with more injuries."
Andrew let out a sigh and responded, "But it's Mike who's suffering the most mentally."
Yes, it's true. Ezekiel was the one who was suffering the most mentally.
Suddenly, I felt bad for him.
I arrived at Ezekiel's room and knocked on the door. He responded from the inside, "Go away, all of you. Don't bother me now."
"Mr. Hastings, it's me."
"Go away, or I'll kill you!"
I hesitated for a moment, wanting to leave quickly. However, at the same time, I felt that he needed companionship in that vulnerable state. Thus, I spoke gently and said, "Mr. Hastings, I'm waiting outside the door, keeping you company. If there's anything you need, just tell me. I'll do it for you. If you want something to eat, just let me know."
Ezekiel remained silent inside the room.
I waited by the door, and finally, feeling tired, I decided to squat on the ground. As the evening approached, I received a message from Anthony. 'Mr. Xenos has been rescued, but after his rescue, he parted with me. He told me to assure you not to worry about him. He said he needs three days to deal with the troubles on hand and ordered me to pick you up.'
I didn't expect Shawn to be rescued so quickly.
Hearing the news of his safety, I felt completely relieved.
I asked Anthony, 'Where are you?'
'I'm on my way to fetching you.'
Am I leaving now?
But Ezekiel's condition is...
How can I leave him at this time?
But how can I save him?
Before I decided whether to leave or stay, Ezekiel suddenly opened the door from inside. I looked up at him, momentarily bewildered, while his expression remained calm and composed.
He asked me, "Are you on my side?"
I replied, "Of course, I am a servant of this villa, so naturally, I'm on your side. Why do you ask?"
"Come with me," he said.
I stood up and asked, "Where are we going, Mr. Hastings?"
"Just come with me."
I followed him to the entrance of the villa and saw a car parked there, with Andrew waiting inside.
As Ezekiel approached, he said to Andrew, "Get ready."
Ezekiel got into the car. I was puzzled but didn't ask any more questions. After getting in the car, I messaged Anthony, 'Ezekiel is taking me away suddenly. I'm not in the villa now. Contact me later.'
Seeing me on my phone, Ezekiel suddenly reached out his hand.
Confused, I asked, "What is it, Mr. Hastings?"
"Give me your phone. Andrew, you too."
Andrew handed his phone to Ezekiel, and I obediently handed mine over as well. Then, Ezekiel winded down the car window and threw both phones out of the car. I was astonished and asked him, "Mr. Hastings, why did you do that?"
In a calm voice, Ezekiel said, "Shawn just escaped. Obviously, I have been betrayed, and both you and Andrew are suspects."
It was not betrayal.
I just wanted to save my husband.
"Mr. Hastings, I have nothing to do with him."
At that point, I could only distance myself from Shawn.
"Okay. I'll take both of you to a new place to stay."
I gathered my courage and asked, "Mr. Hastings, where are we going?"
Ezekiel answered honestly, "We're leaving this country."
I was taken aback. I never expected him to make such a firm decision to leave!
But I didn't want to leave at all!
I wanted to wait for Shawn here.
Wait for him to come find me in three days!
"Mr. Hastings, Novaria is my hometown."
Ezekiel lost his patience directly and warned me in a cold voice, "From now on, if you say one more word, I will throw you out of the car. And after throwing you out, I will pick you up again."
So, throwing me out of the car is just a punishment for me being talkative?
I wisely kept my mouth shut. Then, Ezekiel closed his eyes and fell into a restless sleep. In his dreams, he called out for people not to chase after him. Eventually, he was jolted awake, his body covered in a cold sweat. He asked the driver to stop the car, and he hurriedly got out to vomit by the roadside. Concerned, I turned to Andrew and asked, "What's wrong with him?"
"Perhaps it's his deep-rooted fear that caused him physical discomfort. His condition has worsened, and he is in a critical state."
I believed the scariest disease in the world was mental illness, as it could destroy a normal person.
And Ezekiel's mental illness was in severe condition.
He was no longer himself.
"I'm a psychopath."
I suddenly remembered what he said some time ago.
"Andrew, although I don't know exactly what he is going through, I can sense his immense anguish and pain."
"Ms. Renee, deep within his suffering lies a ray of sunshine, a ray of sunshine that you once gifted to him."
