Crises in Love (Zora and Jaylan)

Chapter 208

Hannah frowned a bit when she saw me asking about the child as she slowly shook her head. "We

haven't found a trace of the child. Zora's acting normal and hasn't shown any signs of being involved.

She hasn't even left her place."

"That doesn't make sense." I muttered in disbelief, "I'm sure Zora took the child. I trust Clara on this.

What about Maddox? If Zora didn't do it, someone must have done it for her, right? Who's keeping an

eye on Maddox?"

"Logan's been keeping tabs on Zora. She hasn't had any contact with the outside world." Hannah

looked at me. "You need to relax a bit. Want something to eat?"

I ignored Hannah's question, worriedly saying, "It's been days, that child..."

"You seem to have your energy back!" My words were interrupted by someone, and we all turned to

look at the door. It was Logan, swaggering in with his usual carefree demeanor.

I sat up quickly, still feeling a bit dizzy from the fever. My body was weak and sore.

"Logan, tell me, why haven't you found the child?" I asked, a bit impatient.

Ever since I heard about Marissa's death, I've been particularly concerned about Evan. Maybe it was

because I was overflowing with compassion, but the child was innocent after all.

"We have no leads. According to Clara, we've reviewed the surveillance footage in the summer camp,

but we found nothing. We didn't even see the car Clara mentioned." Logan lazily sat in a chair beside

my bed, then turned to the rest of the group, "Ladies, have a seat!"

Catherine snorted in discontent, "Huh... No problem! I see no hesitation when you sat down!"

"I haven't slept in days, Cathy, cut me some slack, yeah?" Logan smirked at Catherine, "Can you get

me something to eat?"

Catherine scoffed dismissively, "As if! You think I'm your maid or something? Bossing me around!"

"Of course not! I treat you like my woman, otherwise, why else would I order you around?" Logan

retorted, "Cathy, if I starve to death, won't you feel heartbroken?"

Catherine's face inexplicably blushed. She spat out, "Who's your woman? Stop spouting nonsense! I'll

tear your mouth off!"

"Wait till I finish eating!" Logan continued, teasingly, "Hurry up!"

We all looked at Catherine, who was speechless and staring at us all wide-eyed, supposedly feeling

like she couldn't back out.

"Why... Why are you all looking at me? Don't listen to his nonsense!" Catherine tried to cover up her

embarrassment.

"Go on, I’ll help you fight him when you come back!" I urged Catherine.

She glared at Logan, quickly turned around, and walked out, pretending to grind her teeth in anger.

I turned to Logan, full of doubts. "Clara wouldn't lie! She said the child was taken by Zora, so how could

there be no trace?"

"Clara..." Logan dragged out the sentence, pondering, but didn't continue. Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

"You mean she's misleading us?" I looked at Logan incredulously, feeling somewhat upset.

Logan asked again about what Clara had told me, and I repeated everything in detail.

"If she was deliberately misleading us, that indicates one more thing!" Logan looked at me.

"What?" I asked, getting a bad feeling.

"She was testing you!" Logan cut to the chase, "That's why we didn't touch Zora!"

Logan's theory made me feel frustrated. I cursed inwardly at the Rhylee sisters. None of them were

simple.

"I think Mr. Monahan's assumption is quite possible!" Geneva chimed in, "From what you've narrated,

the phrase she used later was quite telling, 'You have a good heart, but that doesn't necessarily mean

you're doing good.' What do you think she meant?"

"I didn't understand that phrase at the time. It was loaded." I had to admit, "No matter how I interpret it,

it feels like she hates me."

"That's understandable. Consider this, she must know you knew about Jaylan's disease, yet you didn't

tell her, leading her to get it. How could she not hate you?" Janice was brutally honest. "It's clear, she's

telling you to stop playing the good guy!"
