Chapter 283: Chapter 283: He Lost His Only Friend
Edward Stephens slowly awoke from his coma.
The light above him was still on, and as soon as he opened his eyes, he saw Ryan Smith sitting on the sofa
opposite him.
His pupils contracted for a moment, a trace of ferocity flashed in his eyes, and his tall body suddenly sprang
from the sofa, lunging at Ryan, who was reclining on the sofa with his eyes closed in rest.
In almost an instant, he grasped Ryan's neck. The still-sleeping Ryan abruptly opened his eyes, instinctively
reaching out to try and push him away, but Edward firmly gripped his neck, pinning him against the sofa.
"What did you do?!"
The man’s cold face was already shadowed with malice. Perhaps due to the effects of the drug, his voice
sounded somewhat hoarse, even dry.
Ryan's breath was cut off, his face gradually turning pale. He did not struggle, and it wasn’t until he was nearly
out of breath that Edward suddenly released his neck.
"Cough, cough..." A series of coughs echoed in the room as Edward stood up from the sofa, glanced at his watch,
frowned, ignored Ryan, and quickly walked out of the room.
"Edward."
Ryan’s voice cfrom behind.
Edward didn’t respond, his fingers grasped the cold doorknob, about to pull it open.
"It’s already too late." Ryan said from behind him, "You've been asleep for eight hours, Daisy Ginger is in Chicago
now."
"..." Edward suddenly turned around, his lips pressed together, showing a trace of shock on his face.
"He found out about you and Daisy Ginger, so he cto ask me." Ryan sighed, "With something like this, even
a little investigation would make it clear, you can’t hide it from her forever."

tone reached the ultimate in cold and gloomy — "Ryan, don’t show up in front ofagain."
Ryan sat on the sofa, looking at Edward. His fingers moved slightly, but ultimately he lowered his head, his eyes
complex, his voice hoarse, "...I'm sorry."
Edward no longer paid any attention to him, he opened the door and walked out quickly.
Soon, his figure completely disappeared from view.
Ryan sat on the sofa, lit a cigarette, and squinted as he took a slow drag.
He had lost his only friend.
But.
Having reached this point, he found it impossible to turn back...
In the brightly lit room, Ryan's handsface wore a cold expression.

She quietly watched him, not knowing how long she had been standing there or how long she had been watching
him.
