Chapter 406 I Won’t Seek Death

To upset Walter? If it was just for this, then he was truly foolish. The longer he stayed in River City, the

harder it was for him to leave. This point, he understood better than anyone else. Knowing that it was

impossible but still doing it, he was really digging his own grave.

There indeed was milk on the bedside table, I drank it, lay back down on the bed, there were too many

things in my mind, which made me unable to figure them out for a moment.

I drifted off to sleep in a daze.

“Sir, we are approaching the open sea.” In my sleep, I vaguely heard a voice. My head was a bit dizzy,

and it took me a while to gradually wake up.

Looking around at the unfamiliar surroundings, I was momentarily confused. I noticed that the entire

space I was in seemed to be moving. At first, I thought I was in a car, but catching a glimpse of the

endless sea outside the window, I suddenly realized that I was on a ship.

Suddenly getting up from the bed, I looked out the window, it was all sea outside, where was this?

The chatter outside the ship’s cabin abruptly ceased, followed by the cabin door being pushed open. It

was Ezra who came in, dressed in a light-colored suit. His slender figure made the suit look even more

handsome and charming on him.

Looking at him, I suppressed the panic in my heart and asked, “Where are you taking me?”

Watching me pressed against the window, he didn’t answer my question. Instead, he reached out to

me and said, “Come here.”

I pursed my lips, standing still. Seeing this, he furrowed his brows and in almost an instant, he was by

my side. He pulled me into his arms, sat me down on the bed, and said, “Don’t stand too close to the

window in the future.”

I frowned, finding him inexplicable.

She just looked at him coldly, “Where is this? Where are you taking me?”

“Border,” he began, “In half an hour, we will be on the high seas.”

I furrowed my brows, realizing what had happened. So, his proposal to have a wedding with me was

merely a ruse to distract the police and Walter. His main goal was to get me out of there as quickly as

possible. He had put something in that glass of milk, which was why I had only just woken up.

“How long has it been since we left River City?” I asked, looking at him.

“Two days ago.”

Once he reached international waters, the police were powerless against him. Even with suspicions,

they could no longer confine him. within the country, this cunning fox,

Seeing my silence, he asked, “Are you hungry?”

I pursed my lips, without uttering a word.

Seeing this, he wasn’t annoyed, he simply said, “Tell Sebastian what you want to eat. If you’re feeling

stifled, you can go up to the deck for some fresh air. In a few hours, we will be landing.”

After speaking, he left without waiting for my reply.

Sitting on the bed, I was somewhat dazed. I had originally thought that Ezra’s desire to leave River City

wouldn’t be so easy, at least it

shouldn’t be as effortless as it seemed now. Perhaps it was because I was so bewitched by him that I

didn’t know the details, so thinking about it now, I was still somewhat bewildered.

I didn’t know how things were going with Walter and the police. Ezra had suddenly left, they couldn’t

have failed to notice. I also didn’t know if there had been any confrontation between them.

“Thud, thud!” came the knocking sound from outside.

I frowned, opening my mouth to say, “Come in.”

The one who pushed the door open was Sebastian, he had some food in his hand, which he placed on

a table nearby. He said, “You can tell me if you need anything.”

Looking at him, I pursed my lips, then asked, “How did you guys leave River City?”

Captain Lucas was dead. How could the police possibly let Ezra go without catching the murderer?

Seeing me staring at him, Sebastian said, “The boss had Brother Biao take a woman and all the gold

bars in the dark room to the dock north of River City, which attracted the attention of the police station.

Then we took the mountain road, bypassed the police, and directly entered the sea area from the river

crossing in Springbury.”

Indeed, it was a cunning fox. No wonder Robinson looked at me that way that night. It turned out that

Ezra was planning to have him distract the police while he smuggled me out of the country.

Turning to Sebastian, I asked, “Was Robinson arrested by the police?”

Sebastian nodded, “He attracted a lot of police, he couldn’t escape.”

I pursed my lips, no longer asking.

Having lain in bed for so long, I didn’t feel like eating anything. I looked at Sebastian and said, “I want

to go out for a walk, it’s stuffy in here.”

Sebastian nodded, opened the door, but still followed me closely.

Seeing him like this, I laughed and asked him, “Did Ezra ask you to follow me like this?”

He remained silent.

I continued, “Afraid that I’ll jump into the sea and commit suicide?”

He still remained silent.

I sneered, indifferently saying, “Don’t worry, I won’t seek death. I cherish my life more than anyone

else. I didn’t want to follow Ezra, but now even if I don’t want to, I have no choice. Everything is beyond

my control. So, rest assured, I will accept what comes and won’t easily seek death.”
