Chapter 461
Shawn's car drove off into the distance. I stood helplessly alone by the road. I knew very well that I was the one to
blame this time, but I just wanted to follow my heart. I didn't want to keep owing Ezekiel my life.
It was true that Shawn was mad, but it was also true that I had repaid Ezekiel for saving my life. I knew that Shawn
was furious and not thinking straight, and he would ignore me for the time being. When I thought of that, I felt
extremely sad inside.
It was especially so just now when he said that I had never given him a sense of security. It reminded me of what he
said while he was half-conscious, back when we were in danger in Finland.
He said that he had always minded that person's existence. He knew that there was no need to be bothered, but he
was anyway. He said that he never thought a day would come when someone like him would actually be jealous of
someone else.
I suddenly realized that he was talking about Nicholas.
Actually, I had never truly given him a sense of security. I was the one who kept asking him for it, and I was always
the one who kept throwing tantrums.
This side of Sunny saddened me greatly.
Suddenly, I felt a strong ache in my heart.
I stood where I was for a long time, and eventually, Gary appeared next to me. "President Felix, I've sent some men
to escort Mr. Hastings away."
No matter what, Ezekiel's life was saved.
I asked him sullenly, "Gary, what should I do?"
"Everything has its pros and cons. You have followed your heart this time, President Felix, but you have broken Mr.
Xenos'. Nothing in this world is perfect. As long as your conscience is clear, you will be fine."
How could my conscience be clear?
I had wronged Shawn.
I had even caused Sir Larson a serious injury.
Right now, Shawn, Sir Larson, Rudy, Robert, and Ezekiel were all wounded. None of them were unscathed.
"I have wronged everyone," I said.
"You were indeed in a difficult situation, President Felix."
I turned around and walked to my car, then got in. Gary sat in the passenger seat, and when the car started, I said,
"I feel horrible being caught between them, but it actually is something I should endure. I saved Ezekiel this time
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtjust to repay my debt, so we don't owe each other anything in the future."
Gary nodded and said, "Mr. Hastings asked me to thank you in his stead, President Felix. He said that you didn't
have to do it, but you still stood up for him."
My impression of Ezekiel…
How should I put it?
He wasn't a bad person.
But Shawn and the others thought that Ezekiel was a destroyer.
They were all wary of him returning to the top of the world.
So, what type of person was Ezekiel, exactly?
I had no answer to that question.
Now, I didn't even want to know the answer.
Because I only cared about Shawn.
"Gary, I absolutely won't help him again in the future."
"Yes. Just do as you wish, President Felix," he said.
"Gary, do you still want to stay by my side?"
Gary froze. "What do you mean by this, President Felix?"
"If you want to be my subordinate, you can proceed with ease of mind. I'll allow you to contact him as long as you
don't betray or go against my principles. Other than that, you are not permitted to contact him in private."
Gary understood what I meant right away. He said firmly, "I know what you mean now. Don't worry, neither I nor
Mr. Briar would betray our bosses."
I raised my eyebrows in surprise. "Why?"
He said, "Mr. Hastings doesn't need us at all."
Ezekiel didn't need Gary and Waylen…
Gary was my assistant, so he knew a lot about Xenos Solutions. Mr. Briar was Shawn's assistant, so he knew all sorts
of things about Shawn. If Ezekiel had both Gary and Mr. Briar, coupled with other pawns he had planted, he could
easily snatch everything he used to own, and he could return to the top of the world in all glory.
But Gary said that he didn't need them.
What did he mean by that?
Could it be that Ezekiel never had this ambition in the first place?
Ezekiel had once told me that he just wanted to stay in Bryxton, and the attacks on him from Shawn and the others
were forcing him into a corner.
They were forcing him to choose between leaving and fighting back.
"So, tell me, Ms. Felix. What should I do?"
I once told him that he could do unto others the way others had done unto him.
I stopped thinking about the problem that was Ezekiel and Shawn and the others. I simply asked, "Gary, how should
I apologize to him?"
"President Felix, I cannot help you in this department."
"Hey, you're adding fuel to the fire!"
Gary grinned. "This is something you have to solve on your own, President Felix."
"Never mind, forget it. I'm not feeling too good."
I was especially annoyed at this moment.
I didn't return to Bryxton right away because Anthony told me that Shawn didn't go back to Bryxton but somewhere
else.
The place Anthony spoke of was Xenos Manor.
Of course, I couldn't just run up to Shawn and incur his wrath, so I found an inn in the old town near Xenos Manor.
All the traveling I had done for the past two days drained all my energy. I slept for an entire day in the inn, but I only
recovered a little bit of my energy. When I woke up, I took anticancer drugs and breakfast before deciding to meet
Shawn.
In the car, I felt a little uncomfortable. I especially hated being in cars, perhaps because I was sick of it from all the
traveling.
After half an hour on the road, I asked the driver to stop. I got out of the car and threw up violently, then took a
long time to recover before I got back in the car to continue the journey.
Before I even arrived at Xenos Manor, Anthony sent me another message, saying that Shawn had left for Eldham
ten minutes ago.
When I read the message, I got out of the car and threw up again.
After I was done, I weakly sat on the steps to Xenos Manor. I waited to recover, my vision blurry as I said, "I don't
want to sit in a car anymore."
Now, I was afraid every time I saw a car.
Every second on the road was torture to me.
Gary hastily said, "I'll arrange for a private plane right away."
I was now truly sick of riding cars, or just being on the road.
I swore that as soon as I went back to Bryxton, I would settle down right away. I wouldn't go to any other place or
f*ck around anymore.
I was truly, truly sick of it all.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIt wasn't just getting sick either; it was also fear that rose from the depths of my heart.
Gary arranged for a private plane for me, and after I arrived in Eldham, I hastily made my way to Shawn's
apartment in the city center. It was the middle of the night by then.
I stood at the door and knocked. There was no response.
I knew he was inside, but he didn't welcome me in the least.
I crouched down at the door, exhausted. It wasn't until the next morning that I couldn't take it anymore. I went
downstairs and asked Gary to accompany me to the hospital. After we arrived at the hospital, the doctor said that I
had a high fever and a high possibility of depression.
Depression?
It was clearly my fault.
What would I be depressed about?
During the day, I lay on the sick bed and got a transfusion. For a moment, I forgot about wronging Shawn, and I
slept until night when I finally woke up clear-headed.
After waking up, I asked Anthony to check on Shawn's whereabouts.
Anthony sent me an address.
It was the largest hostess club in Eldham.
Had Shawn gone to find a hostess?
No, I didn't believe it. He wouldn't do that!
I instantly thought that the fever had messed with my mind.
I asked Gary fearfully, "How long does it take to go there by car?"
I was even scared to mention cars.
"Around ten minutes, President Felix."
"If I walk?" I asked.
"Around an hour, perhaps?"
"Then accompany me for a walk."
I got up and changed my clothes in the ward. As soon as I was done, I received a call from Amy. "I heard you're in
Eldham?"
Only my own people knew that I was in Eldham.
So where did Amy hear that from?
I asked in exasperation, "You investigated me? Okay. You didn't hear it from anyone."
She smiled and said, "I just arrived in Eldham."
I asked in shock, "What are you doing in Eldham?"
