Back home, Elaine sat on the bed, staring blankly ahead.
After a while, she raised her hand and stroked the necklace around her neck.
It had been only two days. But all of a sudden, everything has changed.
Thinking of this, Elaine suddenly sat up straight again.
The reason why he went to visit her in Switzerland, was it possible that he had already known the news
of his great-grandfather’s death at that time?
No wonder Darnell said to her when he dropped her off at school, “Let our journey end here”.
Is this what he meant?
Elaine pursed her lips slightly and stood up slowly.
She changed her clothes and sneaked out of the house in the middle of the night.
One o’clock.
Archer was in a sound asleep when he was woken up by a rush of doorbells.
He opened the door impatiently with his eyes closed, “Who is doing this shit in the middle of the
night...”
Elaine said sincerely, “Cousin, it’s me.”
Archer, “...”
Every time Elaine called him cousin, there would be trouble.
Archer opened his eyes and walked inside while yawning, “What’s wrong? My dear lord!”
Elaine closed the door, followed him quickly, and said in a hurry, “Do you know, that my dad and
someone from the James family, are going to go to war with Darnell together? What should we do?”
Archer sat on the sofa and said lazily, “What else can we do? I’m not your father.”
“Then...” Elaine’s mind turned quickly, “But you also went to the funeral of the great grandfather. You
and Darnell have such a good relationship, won’t he fight you together?”
Archer adjusted his sitting posture and looked at her. He could finally get himself together, “this is the
moment that can reveal the power of connection, my dear. There are some methods that you can’t
use.”
Elaine kept her mouth shut, looking at him as if she was about to cry.
“Okay, okay.” Archer explained, “I’m a doctor. The infighting of the James family has nothing to do with
me. No matter who wins, I won’t be affected, see? It will not harm any interests of mine.”
Elaine shook her head.
Archer further explained, “Although my laboratory was funded by Darnell, I have also helped the entire
James family with medical support over the years. Besides, I am so young and have such a high level
of medical skills. Isn’t that a huge loss of someone who want to start a war with me?”
Even though Archer was standing by Darnell’s side in public, he also had many relatives and friends in
the James family. So it’s impossible for him to stand by idly.
If someone was hurt and need his help, he wouldn’t reject it and Darnell wouldn’t stop him.
This was something that all three parties have acquiesced in.
Elaine said, “So, you are now neutral if the Darnell and the James family start the war?”
“Sort of.” Archer said slowly, “It is also very important to have your own skill, my lady.”
Elaine looked at him without saying a word.
Archer, “?”
Elaine said, “Then if I stand by your side, can I also stand neutral and run away from their battles?”
Archer sighed, “It’s not as simple as you think. Based on your father’s status, you are already
conspicuous enough. How could the James family give up his support? When your great grandfather
was still alive, they could hold back a bit, but now...If they don’t have your dad’s support, then neither
can Darnell, you understand?”
“My dad has the ability to protect himself, and if...If he supports Darnell, Darnell will definitely send
someone to protect him.”
“Have you forgotten how the elders of the James family were all killed overnight?”
Elaine was stunned when she heard the words.
Archer patted her on the shoulder, got up and said, “As long as you are on the list, they will do
everything possible to kill you. I believe your father won’t be afraid of these, but he is more worried
about you.”
After speaking, he added, “Even Darnell was injured this time. Although the injury was not serious, it
has proved how dangerous they are. There are too many people who want to set him up. The James
family is just the smallest part. Go home and sleep early, sister.”
When Archer was about to enter the bedroom, Elaine suddenly said, “Can I see him again?”
“My dad didn’t allow me to visit him secretly. I know that my dad is afraid that I would be in danger, and
I don’t want to embarrass my dad. But you can help me see him, right?”
Archer turned around and said, “Just listen to your father. Wouldn’t it be better to go back to
Switzerland tomorrow?”
Elaine sniffed. “I will, But I... want to see him again before I go back to Switzerland.”
Archer clicked his tongue, “Well, when did you become so affectionate?”
“Sister Sherry said that I may have developed a habit since I was a child. I have to get whatever I want.
But...but I really...”
Seeing that she was about to cry, Archer stretched out his hand, “Stop. I promise you, before you get
on the plane tomorrow, I’ll find a way to get him to see you, deal?”
Elaine nodded immediately, “Thank you cousin!”
Archer waved at her, “Go back quickly, don’t disturb my sleep.”
Elaine obediently left.
After she left, Archer didn’t feel much sleepy. He then sat down on the sofa again and called Darnell.
...
Elaine got home, fell on the bed, opened her eyes, simply waited until dawn.
At eight in the morning, Franklin knocked on the door, “Elaine, are you up yet?”
Elaine responded, “I have gotten up.”
“Prepare your luggage and get ready to go.”
Elaine had only come back for a day and she didn’t even open the suitcase.
When she left the room, a servant immediately came up to help her with luggage.
When Franklin took her to the door, he suddenly received a phone call. He frowned and said to Elaine,
“Elaine, Dad can’t take you to the airport. Dad will visit you in Switzerland later.”
Elaine knew that her father’s situation was not good, so she didn’t act like what she had done before,
and nodded obediently, “Okay.”
Franklin hugged her, “Elaine, take care of yourself.”
Elaine choked a little, “Dad, take care of yourself too.”
After putting Elaine in the car, Franklin immediately got in the car and went to another direction.
Elaine leaned against the car window, kept checking the time and phone. But there’s not even a single
word from Archer.
Will Darnell wait for her at the airport?
Elaine lowered the window, looked at the familiar city, and exhaled slowly.
At this moment, she saw the scene of the street flash by. And the speed of the car suddenly sped up.
Shockingly fast.
Elaine said, “Don’t drive so fast. It’s still early...”
The driver in front frowned and said, “Miss, the brakes are broken.”
