Chapter 907
Trapped in Love
Liora pursed her lips tightly and looked at Neil with concern. âAre you sure you want to go?â
âYes,â Neil replied firmly.
Kenny echoed Neilâs sentiment. âYes. We have to go and resolve the issue among us!â
Liora glanced at the deepening dark cloud on Kennyâs forehead again, wondering what it was. She was anxious as she didnât know how else to make them believe her.
âThen you must protect yourselves well,â Liora reminded them.
Kenny and Neil nodded before leaving the ward in search of Scott.
Once the door was closed, Tyler frowned and looked at Liora. âDid you find something wrong, Lia?â
After a brief trance, Liora nodded. âYeah. Thereâs a voice inside my head asking me to make them stay.â
âAre you tired?â Axel asked. âYou didnât rest much these two days. Maybe Mommyâs accident has affected you. Would you like me to play with you a bit?â
âUgh⦠okay,â Liora agreed.
Neil and Kenny got into a car in the hospital parking lot, and Kenny called Scott.
It rang for a long while before Scott picked up, and traffic could be heard from his phone. âHello.â
Suppressing his emotions, Kenny demanded, âWhere are you now, Scott?â
Scott replied, âIâm going to grab a bite. Whatâs the matter?â
âLetâs eat together since I havenât eaten yet. I want to talk about Carolineâs condition with you, too,â
Kenny suggested.
âOkay, Iâll text you the restaurant address. Come then,â Scott said.
âSure. See you later.â
After hanging up, Kenny got the location from Scott and showed his phone to Nell. âThis is the restaurant where Scott is, Neil.â
Neil glanced at it before starting the carâs engine. âGot it.â
Restless, Kenny sat in the passenger seat on his way there. âI donât understand how much Scott hates Evan!â
Staring ahead, Neil was stony. âWhatâs his purpose of lying in wait for so many years if he is really Mr.
Hendrix?â
Vexed, Kenny wondered aloud, âNobody knows! Plus, how big a grudge can there be between Evan and Scott?â
âYou should ask Scott about that,â Neil stated.
Twenty minutes later, Neil and Kenny arrived at the restaurant where Scott was.
When they opened the door, they saw Scott sitting on the sofa and looking at his phone.
There was a lot of food in front of Scott, but he hadnât started eating.
When he heard the noise, he looked up and saw Neil and Kenny come together. âJust sit. Let me reply to a text.â
Hence, they sat in front of Scott.
Scott put his phone down after texting and looked up at them calmly. âLuckily, I ordered quite a lot of dishes.â
âWeâre not here to eat, and Iâm sure you know why weâre here,â Neil said.
âEh?â Confusion crept up Scottâs face. âI donât quite get that, Neil.â
Kenny was about to say something, but Neil pressed onto Kennyâs hand.
Neil met Scottâs gaze and uttered, âI donât care whether you understand it or not. Listen. Weâve already looked into everything youâve done. Should I address you as Scott or Mr. Hendrix?â
Scottâs brows flickered. He asked in answer, feigning ignorance, âMr. Hendrix?â
Neil raised a firm statement. âYeah, Elvira and Alan are your subordinates. I donât care how youâre going to deal with Evan. I just want to know why you did that to Carol.â
Calmly, Scott answered, âI donât really understand what youâre saying today, Neil.â
