Semua Bab Yearning for Her Return : Bab 591 - Bab 600

Becca wrote. "Mr. Winston, don't you have anything else to say to me?"Sitting at the dining table, Rebecca stared at her phone for a while. When she didn't receive any response, she couldn't hold back any longer. She quickly typed a message and sent it. Almost instantly, she received a reply."What do you want me to say?"Rebecca was stunned by this response.What was she expecting him to say? Considering the current situation, shouldn't he be scolding her now? He should tell her that the company had invested a significant amount of money and effort to resolve the issue. Then, he should ask her to work diligently and produce a certain number of drafts each month.However, he didn't say anything after informing her that the issue was resolved.Rebecca felt quite uncertain.But she couldn't simply ask him about it. She was just an employee, and it wasn't her place to bring up such matters. If she did, she would be the one questioning her employer, and that wasn't a wise

Rebecca wiped the water droplets off her face. She then glanced at the culprit, who was now washing dishes with a faint smile. He acted as if nothing had happened.It seemed like he had cooled off now.She snorted and left the kitchen with the plastic wrap to store the leftover food in the dining room.Fortunately, Ellen wasn't there. Otherwise, he would have berated her for not finishing her food.She didn't have any other choice. Rather than wasting food, she preferred to reheat it the next day. As long as she didn't repeatedly eat the same leftovers, it wouldn't have a significant impact on her health. Moreover, the leftovers she stored in the fridge were all meat dishes. She had already finished the vegetable dishes, so it wasn't a problem.After storing the leftover food, Rebecca wiped the dining table. Then, she picked up her phone and headed to the backyard.She wasn't a moody person. Upon realizing that David was no longer angry, she didn't dwell on the matter anymore.

Rebecca knew of this place because she had once wanted to explore the local culture of Fairport as a tourist.However, she abandoned the idea due to the nature of the people living there. Now, as she drove there herself, she had to admit that David's advice had been right.The old district reeked of decay at night. She could hear dogs barking and people cursing in the stairwells. Rebecca stepped out of her car and checked the address on her phone as she pursed her lips. The idea of her going to rescue Ellen seemed ridiculous. Given her delicate constitution, she could get winded just from walking too far, let alone in a place where danger could strike at any moment.Once a fight broke out, she'd be the first to go down.But the fact that she was specifically asked to come indicated that they had some other use for her. She feared she might be walking into a trap where, even if she did as she was asked, they might not release their captive. Would that not be a wasted eff

Rebecca's cold voice echoed in the empty corridor. "I have arrived at the building. Please meet with me. I need you to guarantee Ellen's safety. If possible, I want to see him leave safely."She received a reply soon after. He merely said, "Wait there."Rebecca waited for Maxwell. Her eyes darted nervously around the dim corridor. She kept a firm grip on her phone.The moon was suddenly obscured by clouds, and that intensified the eerie atmosphere. The worn-down complex around her seemed like a beast that would swallow her whole. It felt suffocating.As she waited, her heartbeat picked up and synchronized with her uneven breaths. The sound of footsteps echoed from the depths of the alley and sounded like drum beats in her ears.She would have immediately run if Ellen wasn't in Maxwell's hands. She secretly cursed Ellen for messing around at clubs and bars when he was still oblivious to the complicated dynamics in Fairport.He should have just gone home after dark. Look what he'd

When Rebecca was dragged into the shadows by Maxwell, she could clearly feel Daniel's gaze traveling in her direction.They missed each other by seconds. Had he arrived earlier, or had Maxwell left a little later, they would have run into each other.She had a strong, inexplicable conviction that, once Daniel noticed her, he would rescue her from this ominous place. Alas, he was a step too late.Meanwhile, Maxwell didn't seem to feel the pain from her consistently hard bite at all. Even when he began bleeding from the bite, he never once loosened his grip on her. Instead, he endured the pain and dragged her away.Daniel halted by the stairwell when he noticed Ellen on the ground. He crouched down to assess Ellen's condition in the dimly lit environment.Ellen bore severe bruises, and his breaths were faint but steady. His injuries were grave, yet not life-threatening.Daniel rose from the floor and ordered, "Get him to the hospital," before scrutinizing the old building that rese
