Chapter 617 Ezekiel’s Call
Shawn really needed a doctor if he was to survive.
"I couldn't say no. K never intended to take me along. I just hounded him. There's no way I can make him listen to
me. Besides, Shawn means nothing to me. I saw no point making an enemy out of K just for him."
That… was a sound argument. I closed my eyes. "Can you find him, then?"
"We had an agreement. No looking for him as long as you're alive. You can't just go back on your word."
"That agreement was for K, wasn't it?"
A moment of silence swooped down on Colin before he praised me. "Smart. Yes, that was for K. His job is to make
sure Shawn is wiped off the face of this planet, but how he does that is his personal affair. If his organization finds
out that Shawn is still alive, then he would have failed his mission which would put him in a precarious situation. Still,
I persuaded him to spare Shawn, and he reluctantly agreed. That agreement was something to reassure him."
I held my fury back. "And where is K?" If I find K, I find Shawn.
"Not sure. He hasn't called me ever since we parted ways that day. He's also downright anachronistic. He doesn't
use cell phones or the Internet. Good luck finding him."
Colin added, "Unless he calls me, then no one can find him."
Helpless, I asked, "What should I do now?"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Why are you asking me that? I'm not working for you. I'm your enemy." He hung up right after that.
"What now, ma'am?"
"You heard the whole thing. I don't know K's real name, and Colin won't tell me. I don't remember what he looks like
either, only that he's young and has blue eyes. He spoke in Ruslian, and Colin says he doesn't use the Internet or a
cell phone. He'd be impossible to find."
Anthony said, "Well, he's more cautious than ever."
"Because Shawn is with him. Of course, he has to hide. Give Colin ninety million."
"That's three times the promised amount. Why, ma'am?"
"I can see that he's not a bad guy, and he has no big grudge against Shawn. He's just a cheeky guy who loves
tripping us up."
"You wish to make him an ally, ma'am?"
I shook my head. "It's just a friendly gesture. If he shows no sign of reciprocation by tomorrow, tell our men to
capture him. Make him tell us where Shawn is."
If K was hiding, then Colin was the only one who could find him. Colin was essential to this plan, so he must be in my
sights. Besides, I didn't trust Colin at all. I needed to keep him under supervision.
Five minutes later, Colin texted, 'Just got ninety million. Do all rich people do this?'
'Work for me, and I'll give you all the money you want.'
'Tempting. How about you sleep with me and I'll take you to K? It's just a one-night stand.'
Colin was a foreigner, so he was casual about sex. Perhaps he thought a one-night stand was nothing, but sex was
something sacred to us. I would never agree to that, so I didn't reply. I had a light dinner and went to sleep. It was
three in the afternoon when I woke up the next day.
Colin didn't contact me.
After I had breakfast, I asked Anthony, "Where's Colin?"
"Went back to London after he landed in Ireland."
London again? Is Shawn there? Hesitantly, I asked, "Do you think it's real? What did Colin say?"
Anthony shook his head. "That I cannot know for sure, but someone can."
"Who?"
"Ezekiel. I've been looking into his case, and he's actually a great psychologist. One look at someone's change of
expression, no matter how minor it is, and he can tell if they're lying. He's also a good hypnotist. We can use that
against Colin, but that's not the terrifying part."
Ezekiel? Why does everyone think Ezekiel's scary? "Do we have anyone else to ask?"
If it were not an equivalent exchange, I would never ask Ezekiel for help. He would never refuse me, but I wouldn't
use that to my advantage. I was also considering another issue. Why can I be friends with Christopher but not
Ezekiel?
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHmm, perhaps it's because they see things differently. Christopher is an aloof character. He pities me, but what
Ezekiel feels for me is certainly not pity. I'm the guiding light of his life, and he's going to put me in first place
forever. I can't let him waste his life on me, nor can I ever respond to his feelings. That would never happen.
"I need to make some calls, but not everyone's as skilled as Ezekiel. This'll take some time."
"Make the calls. We'll be flying to London tonight. We can't let Colin escape. He's the only lead we have."
"Of course, ma'am."
Anthony then left. I remained in my seat for a long time while I mused things over. A few minutes later, Ezekiel
called, much to my surprise. With trembling fingers, I took the call. "Why the sudden call?"
"Anthony told Waylen about it, and Waylen called me. You could have come to me if you needed help."
Waylen used to work for Ezekiel. It was normal for him to call Ezekiel.
"Sorry, but I can deal with this myself."
"I need your help, Ms. Felix. I wish to reestablish myself in Bryxton, but I can't do it without you. I have my own goal,
so this is a deal."
Of course, he didn't need my help. He just wanted me to feel less guilty about him helping me out. I cried silently.
"No, we can't do this. I can't take your help for granted. I can't just trample all over your feelings. I owe you once
again, Ezekiel. Thank you. I won't forget it."
"You're being too cautious, Ms. Felix. Don't worry. This is nothing for me."
Perhaps.
He said softly, "See you in London tonight."
