Chapter 892
Trapped in Love
Kenny returned to Grand East Hospital and found Neil chatting with Alex and Lucas at the entrance of the ICU.
The three children stood close together, eyes shut as if in slumber.
Approaching the trio, Kenny noticed they awaited his response. He shook his head and said, âItâs not Scott.â
âNot him? What made you sure?â Alex asked.
Kenny recounted his conversation with Scott.
Lucas reacted to the narrative and couldnât help but rub his arms. âFeels like a form of manipulation.â
The others stared at Lucas, who defended his perspective, âWhy are you looking at me like this? Didnât he manipulate your emotions using the yearsâlong friendship card?â
Neil mumbled, âDid he?â
Lucas clarified, âAs an outsider, I see it. He exploited your longâstanding friendship to clear his name.
Any smart person would, right?â
Kenny grasped the situation, âSo, he intentionally framed it that way?â
Alex reflected, âDid he mention visiting Caroline?â
âHe did. I told him to wait until sheâs awake,â Kenny replied.
âIf he genuinely cared, no one could stop him, right?â mocked Alex.
Lucas nodded, adding, âClearly, heâs feeling guilty.â
Neil massaged his temples, processing their analysis. Unable to ascertain the truthfulness of Scottâs remark, he was interrupted by Axel. âUncle Neil.â
All eyes turned to Axel as he expressed, âI would like to seek a favor from you.â
Curious, Neil asked, âWhat is it?â
âGet the two bullets from the doctor and the one that killed Daniella,â Axel Instructed.
Axelâs remark sparked enlightenment among the group.
Lucas exclaimed, âYes! We can match the model and find a seller!â
Alex glanced at Lucas and countered, âAre you underestimating the complexity of the situation?
Information about buyers for such smuggled goods is strictly confidential.â
Undeterred, Lucas suggested, âPay for the information, then!â
Alex questioned, âIf the other party is powerful enough, do you think the seller will be interested in your money?â
Lucas said in frustration, âDamn, what should we do then?â 1 Axel intervened, âI just want the model number of the bullets. Leave the rest to Ty and me.â
Neil immediately shot down the idea. âNo! Itâs very dangerous for you if the other party locates your IP address.â
Axel pleaded, âUncle Neil, trust Ty and me.â
After considering, Neil agreed, âIâll arrange for someone to fetch your laptops tomorrow. Do it from the hospital, and try your best not to expose your real location.â
Axel reassured, âI thought so too. After all, I wonât go anywhere when Mommy is here.â He gazed at the roomâs glass window.
The next morning, Neil received the bullet models and directed his bodyguard to retrieve Tyler and Axelâs laptops from Bayview Villa.
Tyler contemplated the bullet photo in the VIP room while Axel typed away, his actions shrouded in mystery.
Concerned, Liora asked, âIs it challenging to investigate, Axel?â
Tyler replied, âNot really. Iâm waiting for Axel to breach the firewall.â
Liora clutched Tylerâs shirt. âTy, is this dangerous for you?â
Tyler asked, âWhy do you ask?â
Liora confessed with tears, âI donât want you two to be in danger too.â
