Chapter 838The old man smiled and replied, “Yes, I understand. So, cherish each other well.”
Edmund didn’t speak more. He said lightly, “Goodbye then. We’ve got to go now.”
After that, he went out holding Chelsea. The old man Laid his gaze on Chelsea, seemed to be
pondKatharineg about something.
After getting out of the old Mr. McBride’s ward, Chelsea asked Edmund in confusion, “Why did you say
that to him?”
Chelsea was moved by what Edmund said, but she thought it was a little inappropriate to say it to the
old man.
For Chelsea and Edmund, he was nothing more than an acquaintance. After the deal was over, they
wouldn’t contact the old man anymore. Edmund stopped and stared at Chelsea, saying, “It was not a
spur of the moment thing.”
Chelsea looked at Edmund in surprise, only to hear “I was just speaking from the heart.”
“But I really want to show him my love for you.” Edmund narrowed his eyes after saying this.
Chelsea read between the lines and asked, “Why?”
Edmund pursed his lips.
“I think Derek is also involved in the kidnapping.” Derek was the old Mr. McBride’s name.
Chelsea was shocked.
The tether to the source of this data rests in n0v3lebook.orgIn her mind, Derek was also a victim. He even fell ill from anger at his son and granddaughter.Chelsea clutched Edmund’s clothes and asked, “Why did they do that?”
“For profit.” Edmund held her hand to comfort her. “Some people are far greedier than we thought.”
“But I’m just suspecting something with no evidence.” To relieve Chelsea, Edmund said, “Let’s go back
to the hotel.”
Fay took a taxi back, so the car was left.
On the way to the hotel, Edmund thought of Fay and asked, “How is Fay?” Chelsea felt a little guilty, so
she quickly looked away.
“She is suffKatharineg from period pains, so I asked her to have a rest.”
Edmund thought Chelsea was too embarrassed to talk about this, so he didn’t pay any attention to the
unease in her expression.
Thus, Edmund said, “Then ask her to rest for a few more days. She has done so much work here.”
Fay had been busy with the chip industrial park since she arrived in Grafstin. After site selection, she
started to negotiate with many companies. Now that Edmund was here, Fay deserved a good rest.
“Okay.” Chelsea heaved a sigh of relief.
Fay had to stay in bed for a few days, and Chelsea had been afraid that Edmund would ask Fay to do
something else.
Fay had booked a room, which Chelsea had to share with Edmund.
