The Guardian's Return by Old Pumpkin

Chapter 341

Seeing Ethan about to leave, Stephen quickly asked, "Where are you going?"

"To see someone else."

Stephen was confused. Who was that someone else?

Julius and Tommy were both there. However, he soon remembered that Nico was also in the hospital!

"Are you going to see Nico? What are you planning to do?"

Ethan was a high-priority target under strict surveillance, and so was Nico. The thought of them meeting made Stephen uneasy.

Were they planning an escape?

Ethan said calmly, "I'm not planning anything. He's the one who wants to meet me.'

As the door to the morgue opened, the doctor was stunned to see Ethan walking

He wondered, 'Who's this guy? And why was there someone else in the morgue?'

Soon, Stephen also came out, following right behind Ethan as they walked to Nico's ward.
