Crises in Love (Zora and Jaylan)

Chapter 172

Addrion waved a hand nonchalantly. "I’m already happy we're all still alive and back together. As for the

rest, just leave it to God!" NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.

Ronan chuckled. "Don't talk nonsense. If we can't restore you to your former self, why go through all

this trouble? Might as well have left you in Maine and let you pray to God!"

Addrion instantly wore a disgruntled expression, firing back at him. "Whoa, whoa, whoa... Ronan, stop!

You are being so mean. I might not have contributed much, but do I not deserve some credit? You're

being selfish, aren't you?"

"Or what?" Ronan scoffed at him, "Leave it to God? I am your God!"

I quickly intervened to smooth things over, looking at Addrion with hopeful eyes, "So, you're saying

there's a chance for a full recovery?"

"No problem at all. Even though he's short of a kidney, I guarantee he'll be fit as a fiddle." Ronan

interrupted, promising solemnly, "I’ve got him the best doctors and best medicines, so you don't have to

worry about him."

I looked at the two men before me. Their presence was like a gift regained. I felt a sudden welling up of

emotions as they were no longer the men they used to be. Unexpectedly, I felt a lump in my throat. My

eyes were misty, and my smile could not be more awkward.

They both noticed my emotional shift, and their eyes, filled with confusion, were all on me.

Feeling cornered by their gazes, I smiled through my tears. "Who would have thought that we would all

be so different when we met again? Life sure has a funny way of playing tricks!"

Addrion choked up. "Don't cry. Consider this a test from God. It’s more than enough that we can see

each other again."

I sniffed, looking at them both. "Have you two been in contact all along?"

Raising his hand, Addrion denied, "I swear, Aaliyah, just like you, he left without a trace. I didn't have

his contact. But before he left, he left me a note to take care of you. That's why I insisted on starting a

business with you. I thought companionship was the best form of care."

"You've failed in your duty. Look at the terrible situation she's in now!" Ronan's tone was full of reproof

towards Addrion.

Addrion lowered his head, pounding his thigh in frustration. "Alas! I indeed failed."

"Nobody's to blame except for the sly dogs from the Dawson family!" I muttered, "It's my fault to have

chosen such a despicable guy."

Upon hearing my words, Ronan and Addrion both fell silent. Addrion opened his mouth several times,

but words failed him. Ronan broke the silence. "Let bygones be bygones. We should move on. No one

can predict the future. Even if it's a mistake, it's God's will."

"Oh? You're talking about God now? When you left, you should have given her a peace of mind. But

you just vanished without a trace. Let me tell you something. Seeing her searching for you everywhere,

I..."

"Stop talking about those past things!" I cut off Addrion's words.

Addrion swallowed his words abruptly, let out a sigh and shook his head. We all fell into an awkward

silence, each lost in our own thoughts.

After a while, I broke the silence and changed the topic. "I always feel Jaylan has a mastermind behind

him, and this mastermind is not with Jerome’s. Earlier, Marissa called me and said, 'That

AzureEnchantress won't let you off the hook!' I saw a user named AzureEnchantress on another phone

of Jaylan's. Could it be the same person?"

Ronan nodded. "Logan and his team are already investigating every person on the phone. Don't worry!

Not one will get away. Now it seems that the people on that phone you provided indeed have issues,

but strangely, that AzureEnchantress hasn't shown up or contacted Jaylan recently."

"That's odd. With whatever has happened recently, how could they not be in contact?" I asked,

puzzled, "Could there be other ways? Or...did they notice something?"
