Chapter 701 Mortal Enemy

Sebastian got to his feet.

After a moment of silence, he uttered, “If you can help me solve my parents' matters, I will pledge my loyalty to you for the rest of my life.”

Zayron slowly stood up and narrowed his eyes at the young man. “Do you mean that?”

Sebastian lowered his head slightly before bowing to Zayron and saying, “Mr. Zayron.”

Zayron arched a brow as something flickered through his gaze.

Eventually, he said, “I won't resort to such tactics to enforce your loyalty. One day, I will use my own talents to prove to you that pledging your loyalty to me is the right decision.”

“Of course.”

Zayron summoned the young man, “Come closer.”

Once Sebastian was right next to him, Zayron whispered his advice to him. Sebastian frowned and commented, “That's one devious plan. But I must admit, it's definitely made for a man. Right, let's do it, then.”

At the same time, two nurses were blocking the entrance to an ICU ward.

Opposite them stood a distressed Lindsey, who wailed, “I heard Eddy was badly injured, so I rushed home from abroad. Can't you let me in, please? I just want to check on him and make sure he's okay.”

One of the female nurses shook her head and insisted, “We cannot allow anyone into the ward without Ms. Jefferson's express orders, Ms. Carter. Please seek Ms. Jefferson's approval if you would like to visit Mr. Edmund.”

Lindsey stomped her foot indignantly and demanded through gritted teeth, “Where is Bailey?”

“She should be in the study.”

“And where is that?”

“Turn left once you reach the third floor.”

Lindsey turned and ran after the nurse's instructions. She shouted, “Fine. I'll bring Bailey here. Let's see if you'll still stop me then.”
