Chapter 657 Francesca Gant in Critical Condition

Ezekiel never told me what his greatest strength was, but I remembered that he was the one I relied on in my most fearful moments. It was his hand holding mine that gave me warmth, and yet I repeatedly owed him favors.

I felt a deep sense of guilt in my heart.

I hoped that in the future, I would have the chance to repay him.

Ezekiel and I embarked on our journey back to Bryxton. Initially, I had planned to go directly to Finland, but my body was too exhausted.

I needed to return to Bryxton to rest properly for a day and night before I had the energy to embark on another journey. After I returned to Bryxton, my driver took me back to my apartment first, and then sent Ezekiel back to his own residence safely.

Before parting ways, I uttered a heartfelt "thank you."

I was sincerely grateful to him.

Although words could not fully express this gratitude. It was important to express it verbally!

Once I returned to the apartment, I took a hot shower. The wounds on my arms were still present, and it was only when the water touched my skin that I remembered the injury.

I was cautious while taking a shower, and thoughts of Ezekiel's injuries came to my mind. This time, he was ultimately involved because of me.

Yet, he was there to protect me.

After finishing my shower, I sent a message to Shawn, "I have safely arrived in Bryxton. I'm too tired, goodnight my beloved."

Even though it was morning now.

Shawn quickly replied, "Goodnight, babe."

Seeing this message, I contentedly put down my phone and went to sleep. When I woke up, it was already late at night. I had slept for nearly twenty hours. I got up and went to the bathroom to freshen up, and then headed to the kitchen.

The kitchen was fully stocked.

Gary made sure everything was prepared knowing that I was returning to Bryxton.

I casually prepared some food and after eating, I realized it was still early evening in Espoo. With that in mind, I went back to the bedroom and picked up my phone to message Shawn, "I'm awake."

A few minutes later, Shawn replied, "Lazy bum."

I protested, "How am I lazy?"

Shawn didn't answer me.

He pretended to be puzzled and asked, "You're not going to sleep tonight?"

It was not yet midnight, and since I had just woken up, I wasn't tired at all. I thought about doing something, like meeting people I hadn't seen in a long time. However, it was too late to disturb my parents, as they were already asleep. But I wanted to see them before leaving Bryxton.

Who else did I want to see?

Suddenly, I remembered Francesca.

I had an abrupt desire to see her now.

I wondered how she was doing.

I was afraid of disturbing her with a phone call, so I decided to send a text message.

I asked, "How's Ms. Gant doing lately?"

I didn't expect her to reply to my message, so I quickly exited and found Shawn. I responded, "I can accompany you."

Shortly after, Shawn called me on the phone.

I answered the call and asked with a smile, "Finished work?"

"Yeah, I'll be going home soon to be with the two little ones."

Shawn's voice sounded content and satisfied.

I couldn't help feeling a bit melancholic. "I miss them!"

He asked me, "Is it raining over there?"

It had been pouring heavily yesterday, and to my surprise, it was still raining after a whole day and night of sleep. However, the rain outside was drizzling.

"Shawn, you have sharp ears."

Suddenly, he asked in a low voice, "When are you coming home?"

After giving it some thought, I replied, "Well, I could come home now, but it's been a while since I've seen my parents and Francesca. I want to see them before leaving."

"Yeah, thank you, Ray."

He thanked me again.

I knew he was thanking me because of his mother's situation.

I had been with Shawn for two years, and he had always been the one helping me with things. Now, when I helped him, it made him feel amazed and pleased. Apart from being amazed, there was also surprise and joy.

He probably never thought that I could be someone he could rely on.

I fell silent for a moment, thinking about the things between us for a long time. Finally, I playfully called out, "Makur."
