When There Is Nothing Left But Love

“We should head outside first!”

Joseph looked confused. “We’re leaving already?”

I nodded. “Armond is currently in Moranta while Brandon is still occupied with the death of his wife. At a time like this, our main priority should be to locate Jody as soon as possible. Contact Dillan. He should have some information for us by now.”

Joseph nodded and left without any questions.

I then met up with Zachary in his hotel room. Using the noisy environment as an excuse, we checked out of the hotel and quickly left.

When we returned back to the hospital, Summer’s surgery was done. Cameron was accompanying her during her recovery in the hospital. Fortunately, everything went smoothly.

Meanwhile, I went to find Ann and Amy. They settled down in an urban village in A City. The environment they lived in seemed a bit vile and dirty. When Ann saw my face, she didn’t look surprised at all. She then continued on nonchalantly with her cooking using the induction cooker. Since there was no ventilation, the whole room was engulfed in smoke.

“The environment here isn’t that good. Apologies!” She coughed a few times as she was saying that. After helping to set up the food on the small table, Amy sat on the bench beside the table and waited.

Although their living conditions wasn’t that good, the two of them seemed happy together nonetheless. Cutting to the chase, I directly stated, “I’ve promised you that I’ll help you find Jody. In return, I’d like you to convince him to go with us to the Imperial Hotel.”

She lowered her head and continued washing the pots. “You guys want him to lead you to the basement right?”

“Yes,” I answered truthfully.
