Chapter 802:

“When did you leave?” Freya asked, already standing on the balcony with the phone pressed to her ear.

“Yesterday.” Lawrence didn’t keep anything from her and even added, “Kristian’s follow-up should be scheduled after the New Year. Don’t stress too much. Oh, and there’s something I forgot to mention.”

Freya’s voice was calm. “What is it?”

“Kristian’s cognitive function has gotten a bit better.” Lawrence’s voice came slow and low. “But it’s still unstable. Try not to let him get too worked up.”

Freya’s brows pinched ever so slightly.

“Before the Butterfly Island incident, what kind of deal did you make with Kristian?” Freya thought it through before getting straight to the point. “Just tell me. I’ll help you once—for free.”

Lawrence was caught off guard. And the offer was tempting. Enlisting K’s help could be costly. But if she was involved, success was all but guaranteed.
