Jepherson took a seat outside the ward and said, "I have something to discuss with Jacky and Zorion. Why don't the two of you head home first?" Deanna nodded, then stood up and extended her hand out to Rossie, "Come on, let's go home first." Rossie also stood up and followed Deanna to the elevator. She was completely familiar with the way. In Rossie's eyes, those were men's issues and there was no need for them to be involved. This point was clear and unanimous.
Most importantly, they did not want to be involved because they had no opinion.
Deanna and Rossie entered the elevator, followed by two men.
Once Deanna and Rossie were out of earshot, Jepherson told Jacky and Zorion that he found out that Flynt was planting poppies in Esterlia.
Jacky stood opposite. He seemed very calm, but he was surprised when he heard Jepherson's word. He never thought that Flynt had to guts to do such thing. If Flynt was indeed growing poppies and smuggling them into the country, then the Moore family would soon disappear from Capital City.
Zorion sat on one side, staring blankly at a spot while smiling, "Why can't he be good for once? It looks like the Moore family will disappear from now on."
Jepherson said, "Flynt should be back in Capital City by now, but I doubt he would admit anything if we confronted him. If he doesn't want to admit it, it's fine. However, he would need to offer an explanation to his customers because we set his poppy field on fire. I doubt he will be able to deliver the goods now. What do you guys think?"
"Does this mean that we don't need to catch him now? We'll just have to keep an eye on him?"
Zorion asked. Jepherson said, "I mean, this is also a good opportunity. It depends on what you want to do."
Jepherson stood up and returned. Jacky said, "I don't think the Whalen family should interfere with this matter. We don't want others to think that you're stealing the spoils of war."
Zorion just smiled. "Well, since the government is involved, then I wouldn't want to get involved."
Zorion stood up. "I'm happy to have peace as well."
Zorion turned around and made his way to the elevator.
After Zorion left, Jacky also left. At this moment, Jepherson briefly glanced towards the door before entering the ward. He took a seat by Raeleigh's bedside.
"Raeleigh should be fine. Why don't you go and get some rest?" Jepherson said. After that, Lucy stood up and went outside. She closed the door behind her and looked along the corridor.
Stuart was currently sitting outside. Lucy then took a seat beside him.
The two did not talk much. They just leaned against each other and fell asleep.
Inside the ward, Jepherson held Raeleigh's hand. She looked like a mummy right now and it seemed like she could not move at all.
Raeleigh could feel someone was holding her hand, but she did not open her eyes.
Jepherson sat by her bedside for an entire day while Raeleigh slept. By the time Raeleigh woke up, it was already night time.
When Raeleigh opened her eyes, she saw Jepherson getting an injection.
Raeleigh sat up on the bed. However, Jepherson asked her not to move, so she did not move.
"Are you able to get out of bed?"
Jepherson laughed. "Of course!"
It was not like he had injured his legs and arms.
Raeleigh stared at Jepherson for a while. "I thought you were badly injured."
"Clearly, your injuries are worse than mine." Jepherson glanced at Raeleigh. Her entire body was wrapped up like a mummy.
Raeleigh did not say anything.
"You said that Austin took your kid away? Was he already sick when he was born?"
Jepherson sat there and asked Raeleigh. Raeleigh then asked, "Can you please release Cynthia?"
"Is this your terms of exchange?"
"Sort of."
"Stuart, make the call."
