Chapter 1143
Around three o'clock in the morning.
It had been more than two hours since Dubhe and Alkaid set off.
Molly still didn't feel sleepy at all.
However, overwhelmed by drowsiness, Merak had already fallen asleep beside her. She seemed to
have no worries about the current situation at all.
Molly took a look at Merak and subconsciously tucked her in.
All of a sudden, there came a knock at the door!
It was late at night, and since there were still no updates from Dubhe, Molly couldn't help being
nervous.
She looked out warily.
The knock on the door rang again, and it sounded a little urgent this time. Meanwhile, a familiar voice
sounded. "Dr. May, are you awake?"
It was Selon!
Molly immediately recognized the identity of the visitor. She got out of her bed at once to open the door.
Selon's clothes had been wet by the rain, which made him look like a real mess.
"Dr. Shepard, it's so late. What do you want with me?"Molly looked at him in surprise.
Selon answered anxiously, "Dr. May, please pack your things and come with me."
"What?"
Molly was in a complete daze. "Mr. Shepard, what happened? Are the wounded getting worse?”
"No."
Selon looked more urgent, and he subconsciously looked behind him.
Knowing that his appearance was a little abrupt and that his speech was confusing, he simply
explained it.
"Dr. May, I was going to go to the basement tonight and release Mr. Ballard! However, I found that Mr.
Ballard was no longer there, so I went to Uncle Jose's residence and planned to talk to him. As a result,
I accidentally overheard some conversations..."
Speaking of which, Selon swallowed hard. "Uncle Jose has brought Mr. Ballard away, and he is going
to hand him to the martial art families. Before leaving, he ordered his men to catch you if he didn't
return at three o'clock in the morning. Right now, they are on their way here."
When Molly heard this, her face changed slightly.
She didn't expect Jose to be so cautious and make such an arrangement.
However, what was his purpose in catching her?
Were they trying to get Mr. Ballard under control or to threaten Sean?
"Why should we believe you?"Merak had woken up, and she suddenly appeared from behind Molly and asked Selon coldly.
Selon knew her identity, and he said seriously, "Dr. May is my friend, and I have no reason to harm
her."
"You are from the Shepard family, which means you stand on their side naturally! Maybe you are just
pretending to be kind, so that you can harm madam after she drops her guard!”
Merak's words were extremely impolite.
Over the years, she had met various kinds of people, especially those who were duplicitous.
The Shepard family had done something shady in private.
Selon was the next heir of the Shepard family, so she had to guard against him!
Hearing this, Molly also subconsciously looked at Selon.
The latter was rather anxious at the moment. "I don't need to lie or to pretend! Dr. May, we have known
each other for so long, and you should know what kind of person I am!
Time is pressing, so it is inappropriate to delay. If you stay here for a little longer, I'm afraid you can't
leave. Please believe me once."
"Do you think I am afraid of them?"
Merak sneered with disdain.
However, she still asked Molly, "What do you think, madam?"Molly looked at Selon for a moment and said in a low voice, "I believe in Mr. Shepard. Merak, please go
pack your things, and well leave at once."
Merak had no objection to her decision, but she still warned Selon, "You'd better not play any tricks, or I
won't let you off." She turned back to the room and started packing.
