Crises in Love (Zora and Jaylan)

Chapter 298

Hannah flashed me an 'okay' sign and immediately sent off a text.

I hurriedly got up and went to the bathroom to wash my hand that Jaylan touched, then pointed outside.

Hannah stepped out, and in no time, she returned and replied, "He's left the hospital. There's someone

following him, so you can relax!"

I sat back down on the bed with relief, picking up my phone to check the trending topics. Just as Jaylan

had said, there had been a shocking reversal online. The internet mob that had been going after me for

days had finally shifted direction.

The web was now rife with speculation about Marissa's real cause of death.

There were those clever enough to steer the conversation, saying that if Marissa could frame and harm

me, it meant she must've known about the child's whereabouts. Framing me, the wife, had been her

own downfall.

How about that now?

The netizens were utterly rational this time, presenting logical arguments, listing Marissa's countless

transgressions, naturally exonerating me from the situation. Some attentive individuals also outlined my

whereabouts, showing that I was nowhere near Goldenvale Town when the child went missing.

Were there any doubts remaining? This could confirm my alibi, clearing me of all suspicion, even faster

than the police could.

I put down my phone, my eyes fixated on the ceiling, a tad irate. These netizens were really something,

always ready to condemn someone, without a single soul genuinely concerned about the child.

I sighed. People could be so unpredictable!

Seeing me silent, Hannah walked over and asked, "Miss Wilburn, you're still awake? What's on your

mind?"

I took my eyes off the ceiling and said to Hannah, "I wonder who could have kidnapped me? Could it be

the same group that killed Marissa?"

Hannah chuckled, "Don't overthink it. Sooner or later, it'll all be clear. The driver might be dead, but

there must be traces of him, which will eventually lead us to his hideout."

"But don't you find it strange? The driver is dead, and Bald's whereabouts are unknown. Who could be

so meticulous? Aside from Jerome, I can't think of anyone else who would target me. All these years,

I've been minding my own business. I haven’t offended anyone, so how did I attract so much trouble?"

Hannah comforted me, "Life is unpredictable! As they say, 'the best-laid plans often go awry.'"

I broke into a grin at her words, "You're right! I keep thinking about the AzureEnchantress that Marissa

mentioned during her last call to me. It has to be the same AzureEnchantress from Jaylan's phone. But

who is this AzureEnchantress? Marissa must've known something. Otherwise, she wouldn't have

mentioned this person. Maybe she was killed because she knew too much!"

Hannah calmly said, "That woman wasn't really smart! If she had stayed out of trouble, she might've

had a chance for a better future. But she chose the wrong path."

I looked at Hannah, my thoughts whirling, murmuring, "How can we find out more about this

AzureEnchantress?"

"Logan and his team are also tracking this person but..." Hannah shook her head helplessly, "No luck

so far."

"I just don't understand how Jaylan could've gotten in touch with such a mysterious figure. And from

what Marissa implied in her last call to me, it seemed like she was certain that this person would take Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

care of me!" I sighed, "Marissa really left too soon!"

Hannah confidently stated, "Her death was no coincidence!"

"What about the child? I mean, Evan! Was he relocated by Zora, or was he stolen? Could Clara have

been used?" I asked Hannah, puzzled.

"That's entirely possible." Hannah nodded in affirmation.

The more we talked, the more excited we became, yet we couldn't find a single lead.

After talking with Hannah a bit more, just as I was about to sleep, Hannah received a phone call. After

hanging up, she frowned and shared some news with me...
