Mr. Webb, Make Your Move!의 모든 챕터: 챕터 181 - 챕터 190

The assistant glanced back just as the car drove into a tunnel. The man's face was hidden in the shadows, making it hard to see clearly.All she could make out was his hands resting on his knees. He casually flicked a lighter on and off.The lighter was plain silver-white, with no fancy patterns or brand names. It was just a simple, old-school flip lighter.The only thing that stood out was the orange gem at the bottom. It shone like the last glow of a sunset.It did not seem to fit someone like him, but he had kept it close for years, never once letting it out of his sight.After driving out of the tunnel, the masked driver checked for traffic. It was all clear, so he floored it and zoomed toward the eastern woods.The woods were thick with bushes, blocking the car's way. They had no choice but to leave the car and walk.The assistant, Sadie Sanchez, was all business in her leather outfit and short boots. Her hair was styled to match the rest of her outfit. She and the masked m

Then, an even louder call for Zara drowned out Nord's voice, and he stopped dead in his tracks. He was right on the edge of the darkness.Zara, who was running, looked up in alarm. Was she hearing things?Did someone just call out to her?"Zara!"There it was again, a call. It had to be for her.Zara stopped and spotted two sets of headlights coming closer. In a flash, the headlights turned into blinding beams, lighting her up from dozens of yards away.Like a sudden ray of sunshine breaking through the clouds, Yosef appeared.The forest was huge, with many paths to choose from. However, without any signs, they could only guess which way to go unless a local showed them the way.Yosef was really lucky. He found the main road and parked his car not far from Zara, about 20 or 30 meters away.When the two men saw people coming, they looked at each other and quickly disappeared into the trees.Zara had not realized she was so close to the right path. She had been walking in the w

The night air was cool and misty, creating ghostly shapes under the streetlights.Zara said calmly, "I'm not a doctor. Showing me won't help. You should really see a professional, Mr. Webb."She ignored his playful suggestion.Yosef let out a huff and watched the light play across Zara's face by the car window.She was wearing his oversized coat, which made her look even smaller and more delicate.Her hair was a mess, and her face was still pale. It reminded him of how she looked on a rainy night three years ago.He looked away and muttered, "Still the same."Zara knew he was talking about her but did not ask why. She just said, "Ms. Weber meant to hurt me today.""So, you want me to make it right?" Yosef turned up the heat in the car, filling it with a comforting wooden scent."No, I just wanted to tell you, Mr. Webb."Forget the fact that Sarah was connected to him; he might not even help her if she were a complete stranger.Zara just wanted to give him a heads-up about wh

Who?Ophite mulled over Sarah's features. He had not noticed before, but now that Yosef had mentioned it, her face did seem familiar...Right then, the elevator doors slid open. Ophite looked up, surprised to see they were on the first floor."Why are we on the first floor?" They were meant to return to the 19th and 20th floors.Yosef stepped out. "I need to grab something from the front desk."It sounded like a quick errand, so Ophite pressed the door open button, deciding to wait for him.Before long, Yosef came back with a little first aid kit in his hands."Did you get hurt?"He noticed Yosef press the button for the 17th floor and smiled. "Is Ms. Lowry hurt? Are you going to help her with a bandage?"Yosef gave him a quick look but said nothing.Ophite felt a sting in his heart. "But Ms. Lowry has Stanley with her now. She probably doesn't need your help.""Then you should go and get him to leave."Ophite was speechless.Why did it feel like he was helping a friend sn

Zara took a deep breath.Only two months had passed, not two years. She remembered everything clearly. He had wanted to use her as a pawn for his business deal. Was he now pretending that time could change the truth?Zara stopped her wandering thoughts, thoughts that Yosef kept pulling her into. She quietly packed up the first aid kit on the table.She picked up the humidifier Chelsea had given her, took it to her room, and plugged it in. A fine mist with a hint of orange scent filled the air, calming her.Yosef was ready to pay a lot to make her forgive Sarah. Any woman with him was protected.Except her. Even when she was with him, she felt used.Zara bit her lip and glanced at the clock. It was after eleven. She dialed her sister's number to check on their mom.Her sister usually answered at this hour, but tonight, the call was cut off.Zara's brows were furrowed. What was going on?...Meanwhile, in a ward at Starville Hospital where silence should have reigned, a heart m
