NovelEnglishChapter 1389 Sean stood there, totally spaced out for a sec, then bolted like a bat outta hell. But he barely got a few steps in when Quinn's voice cut through the air, "Sean!" He froze, caught between running and staying. He clenched his jaw, hesitating, and then Quinn's voice cagain, "If you leave, I'll die right here." Sean couldn't risk it now. He stood there, torn, knowing Quinn wasn't bluffing. She'd tried to off herself more than once before.
Half an hour later, Quinn was sitting in this bare-bones house. The place was basic, just a few pieces of furniture. Sean stood there like a scolded puppy, while Kyle was next to him, rubbing his butt and stomach, shooting daggers at Sean every now and then.
Abigail and Cody were outside, so it was just the three of them in the room.
Quinn stared at Sean. He hadn't changed much; his face still gave everything away.

Sean scratched his head, playing dumb. "What do you mean?" Kyle took the chance to smack the back of his head. Sean turned and glared at him, and Kyle immediately said, "Don't play dumb. If we found this place, we know more than you think. Just answer the question." He then muttered under his breath, "How dare you kick me? I'll give you a good beating." "Who told you to just show up?" Sean shot back.
"Don't change the subject," Kyle snapped.
Sean said, conflicted, "Sorry. I can't tell you." Quinn stared at him hard. She didn't threaten him this time, but her gaze made him squirm.
"Stop asking me. I don't know much either," Sean declared.
Quinn asked, "Why is he pretending not to know me?" Sean was caught off guard. She asked why he was pretending, not why he had amnesia, leaving Sean without an excuse.
Seeing his hesitation, she added, "If none of you will tell me, I guess I really was just wishful thinking." She stood up. "He probably doesn't care about me, so he wouldn't care if I died." Sean's face changed, and he quickly reached out to stop her. "No." Staring at him, Quinn asked, "If you won't tell me, why are you stopping me?" "I, I..." Sean was on the verge of breaking down. He scratched his head, took a deep breath, and looked at Quinn. "I'll tell you, but you can't ask him, okay?" Quinn nodded. "I promise, I won't tell him." Sean sighed, "He doesn't want you involved. He's pretending not to know you because..." His words suddenly trailed off, and Quinn hurriedly asked, "Because of what?" "He's got a listening device on him," Sean continued.
"What?" Quinn asked, shocked. "Why doesn't he just take it off?" Sean explained, "The device isn't on the outside of his body; it's inside." After Alexander was captured, Zeke had been searching for him. When it becclear they couldn't keep it hidden, his captors decided to disable him and make him lose his memory.
They wanted to force Alexander to pretend to have amnesia. But they still weren't satisfied and implanted a listening device inside him. It wasn't an ordinary device; apart from listening, it would explode if forcibly removed. Alexander might not even have tto take it out before being blown to bits.
Quinn was stunned by Sean's explanation.

She recalled their few meetings, his cold attitude towards her, and her own attitude towards him.
When she was feeling sad, he might have been feeling just as bad.
Kyle was also shocked, but he quickly calmed down and asked, "How do you know all this?"
"When I woke up that day, I saw a text message from an unknownm number, it said it was from Alexander, tellingto cto Country H." "So you just came?" Kyle asked.
Sean nodded. "Yeah."
No wonder he chose to message Sean. This guy didn't even question it O and just came. If he had messaged Kyle, Kyle might have investigated the message, which could have exposed him. "And then?" Kyle asked.
"Then I went to the place he mentioned, which is here. There were a few letters in the room, explaining N.
