NovelEnglishChapter 406 Guess Who's Wanted Now
Sloane's face flushed all the way to her ears; she gave Lucas a gentle push. “Stop it. I'm going to check on
Shawn.”
As she left, Jaleaned closer to Lucas, his voice teasing. “I'm serious-Sloane’s medical skills are top-tier. Ever
think about developing her career in Mirevia? | could invest!”
Lucas let out a cold snort. “Don’t even think about it. My Sloane’s gift is for saving lives, not making you money.”
“Con, you're really not going to consider it? This is a guaranteed profit,” Japressed, unwilling to give up.
Lucas, annoyed by his chatter, shoved him toward the door. “We're going to rest. If you're not tired, go find out
what's happening outside.”
“How am | not tired?” Japrotested loudly from the hall. “I just risked my life driving!” But the only answer he
got was the sound of Lucas slamming the door shut.
“Heartless,” Jamuttered, rolling his eyes before heading next door to rest.
The next morning, Sloane was still asleep when the pounding on the door jolted her awake.
“Lucas! Something's happened!”
Lucas yanked the door open to find Japale-faced and holding up his phone. “Big trouble— we're wanted! The

There was no one who could testify for them; whoever set this up clearly planned everything -Shawn was never
meant to live and clear their names.
Sloane frowned deeply. “The poison’s gone, but his body’s badly damaged. He'll be unconscious for a while.”

Just then, the wail of sirens grew louder from the distance. Jadarted to the window and yanked the curtains
shut. “The police are searching door to door!”
Lucas made a quick decision. “We split up. Jaime, you draw their attention.”
again?” Jaime’s eyes widened, but after a beat, he nodded in resignation. “Fine, fine. Guess it's only fair-the
handsomest one gets the hardest job.”
“Sloane, we'll take Shawn through the back door,” Lucas said as he packed their essentials. “We'll contact you
once we find somewhere safe.”
Realization hit Jaime, and he shouted after them, “Hey, wait-you’re not planning to ditch me, are you?”
“How could we?” Lucas patted his shoulder with a grin. “You're too good-looking to leave behind.”
“Get lost.” Jasnorted but finally relaxed.
