Returning from the Dead: His Secret Lover chapter 1152
âActually, that wonât be necessary because heâs not going to kill me for real. At the end of the day, Iâm
his only son.â
âWhat the hell? Are you kidding me? Werenât you the one who told me you had to run away from your
father? Was it just a joke?â Sabrina went berserk and shouted.
She wasnât the one making a scene for nothing because she had gone to great lengths to procure the
aid of his brother to ensure he was safe when they werenât even related.
It was merely one of her attempts to return him the favor of saving her when her life was at stake. It
was a challenge for someone who had never requested othersâ aid on someone elseâs behalf.
What if Devin finds out Iâm trying to help a man shortly after heâs dead? Is he going to blame me for
being disloyal? Maybe heâs going to deem me unworthy of him!
As emotions came flooding out, Sabrina couldnât resist the urge to weep and ended up with a pair of
welled-up eyes.
Edmund was well aware he had to make something up to deceive the heartbroken woman. Once he
snapped out of bewilderment, he explained, âI didnât lie, butââ
âWhat?â
âIf I run away with you, my fatherâs going to pick on your brother!â
He brought up something reasonable and stopped her from making a scene. It worked like a charm
and rendered her speechless.
She just couldnât bring herself to expose her brother to uncertainties. In the end, she returned to her
room and banged the door shut, leaving the men in the living room alone.
âYou know sheâs merely trying to do you a favor, donât you?â
âIâm well aware of that.â
Edmund finally returned to his usual self. He glanced at Sabrinaâs room and served Karl a glass of
water.
Out of curiosity, Karl asked, âAre you sure youâre not coming with us? Actually, we were at the hospital
as well, but we thought it wouldnât be wise to show up since she had rushed to your rescue.â
No matter how things might turn out, he would never resent them. He asked, âHas she really acquired
Sebastianâs aid to take me away with her?â
âActually, itâs Mr. Hayesâ instructions. He was equally worried when he figured out things had headed
south last night. On top of that, Benedict did nothing when such a serious incident had occurred.
Therefore, Mr. Hayes thought it wouldnât be necessary to expose you to unnecessary risk anymore.â
Karl handed Edmund another miniature device similar to the one in his drawer once he finished his
orated speech.
Edmund took over the device and said, âItâs because weâre not halfway through with the plan yet. Once
I infiltrate the ranks, Iâm sure he canât keep me in the dark anymore.â
âYouââ Colors drained from Karlâs face since Edmund had made himself clear he wouldnât be leaving
with them.
Does he seriously think heâs still the almighty major? Heâs on his own without anyone with him! Shall
we talk about the injury he has sustained?
He almost lost his life because of a skin prick test! Thereâs no way heâs making it out alive if he
infiltrates the ranks on his own!
âNo! Thereâs no way Iâm allowing this! Mr. Hayes is of the same idea as well! Heâs working on several
alternatives as we speak! No matter what, weâre not exposing you to unnecessary risk anymoreâIâm
taking you home with me!â
Karl remarked with his voice quivering and thought of rendering the man opposite him unconscious to
take him away with him against his will.
However, a glance from Edmund was all it took to stop Karl from trying anything rash. After all, Karl
wasnât a match for Edmund even when Edmund wasnât in his prime.
âYou donât have to repeat yourself because Iâm well aware of the risk Iâm susceptible to! Am I supposed
to remind you of the sort of things awaiting Mr. Hayes? He warned me not to mingle with those affiliated
with the White House, but he joined the rank without my consent! What the hell does he think heâs
doing?â
Unable to think of anything else to rebuke Edmund, Karl remained standing in silence. Once he thought
of the things awaiting them, he fell into the vicious cycle of despair.
Heâs right! Mr. Hayes isnât having it easy as well! As a matter of fact, heâs in an equally nasty situation!
Unless he could take them on without othersâ aid, itâs only a matter of time until they take him out!
In the end, Karl left since he knew he couldnât change Edmundâs mind.
Edmund knocked on the door of Sabrinaâs room after standing next to it for a few minutes. He asked,
âMs. Sabrina, arenât you going to leave with the bodyguard of the family?â
