Collin sent everything to Jaquan’s house and gave that box of candy to Stony. Ignored Jaquan’s discomfort, he chatted happily
with Emma. For a long time, Mrs. Cox had complained about Jaquan because he dyed his hair green that night. Now every time
he came back at night, Mrs. Cox would ask him to come to her and grumble about him.
As a result, when Collin and Emma were chatting, Jaquan stretched his neck but didn’t hear anything. When he finally could
leave, he heard Collin say to Emma, “Why don’t you think about it again? There are many benefits to marrying me.”
“Fuck off.”
Jaquan pushed Collin out and closed the door, indicating that he would personally escort Collin upstairs.
“Didn’t you have a new love? How dare you pursue my love!” When they arrived at the door, Jaquan acted as if he was going to
hit Collin.
Collin tilted his head and dodged, “Forget about it.”
When the two of them walked to the elevator, Jaquan couldn’t help but complain, “There are so many nurses in the hospital who
are infatuated with you. But you fall in love with someone who doesn’t. Aren’t you asking for trouble?”
“It sounds quite reasonable.”
Jaquan laughed, “Fuck off.”
After entering the elevator, Jaquan asked, “What did you just talk to her about for so long?”
Collin and Emma were chatting on the sofa. The two of them spoke in low voices. Jaquan didn’t have the nerve to eavesdrop on
them, but he was very concerned about what they said. It wasn’t easy for him to endure it until now.
Collin did not laugh at him, and just said, “It is just about something from a long time ago.”
At that time, Emma said that she was going to stay at his place. He held Stony in his arms and prepared to ask for leave.
However, when he returned, Emma and Stony were gone, as well as the black gadget in his pocket.
At that time, he had guessed that it had something to do with Emma, but he didn’t understand. Because this thing was spat out
from that child’s mouth. This child came from the GY Temple. Of course, Emma had just returned from the GY Temple, but what
kind of relationship did she have with that child?
Although Collin did not investigate it, he still cared about this matter. He suspected who sent Emma several times, but he was
very clear about Emma’s character, so he did not tell Jaquan about this.
Until this meeting, he casually asked. Unexpectedly, Emma was also willing to tell him that she was doing a favor for a friend.
That friend was Emily’s friend.
Originally, if he hadn’t seen that scene at the entrance of the hospital today, he wouldn’t have taken it seriously. However, when
Emily and Jaquan’s boss (Vincent) were tied together, he saw Emily in a completely different way. And her purpose in doing
things was no longer simple.
The House of Hope also sent a lot of children for the examination this time. Therefore, Collin had some understanding of this
area. If Emma asked him to contact Ferne, he might be able to help.
Ferne was Jaquan’s best friend, and Collin had seen him a few times before. Hearing Emma’s words, he nodded his head,
because he also rejected the fake reports issued by the hospital.
Moreover, after the Dean entered the police station, the entire hospital was examined completely. Collin had guessed that it must
be related to the children from the GY Temple last time, but he did not expect that the children from the House of Hope would be
delivered the next day.
But no matter what, the Dean must have something to do with these matters. The Dean relied on the Potters, and the House of
Hope investigated belonged to Branden.
Collin was thinking rapidly. He would not interfere with these matters two hours ago, because if he could not solve them in a
short period, he might be killed by the other party.
However, things were different now. If Emily’s friend tried to mediate between them, and she was backed by Vincent, that would
mean that the Scavos would fight against the Potters. No matter what the result was, even if the Potters found out that he was
involved, they wouldn’t dare to do anything to him. Because once he helped, he would be standing by Vincent’s side. There was
no reason for Vincent not to protect him.
He could help now.
“Are you sure?” After Jaquan knew Collin’s thoughts, the elevator has arrived. The two of them stood at the door of Collin’s room.
Jaquan knitted his brows and said, “You should know about Emma. It was because she was involved in this matter that she was
retaliated against. And so was Stony. So if you really want to do it, of course, I won’t stop you. However, there is a certain risk in
this matter. You have to protect your family in advance.”
Collin knew that he was not joking, so he nodded, “If I’m sure I want to do it, I will move them all to a safe place in advance.”
“Alright.” Before Jaquan left, he patted Collin’s shoulder and said, “It’s a big deal. If you make it after you die, people won’t call
you Doctor Collin, but the heroic martyr Collin.”
Collin smiled and kicked him, “Fuck off.”

Ever since Branden was released, Ferne had almost gone on strike from the Dalton Hotel. After sorting out the evidence he
owned every morning, he drove to change shifts with the spies and squatted at the intersection of the Potters.
The man who was released by Noah in the hospital went back to his hometown with four cigarette scars on his body. Ferne
looked for the people from the police station to keep an eye on him for a few days. The man behaved well and did not go out. He
just stayed at home to play cards or drink.
There was probably nothing there, for the time being, so he could only squat at the entrance of the Potters and see if there were
any unexpected harvests.
Although it was fine to leave it to the rest of the police station, after hearing Christy say that she couldn’t escape that night
without Irene, he felt that Irene might be the one who wanted to know the truth the most. Perhaps she might be the first to find
out the truth.
He had been following Irene for more than a week, but there was no progress. After Branden was released, Irene did not dare to
rashly go to her father’s villas for fear of being suspected. Furthermore, his father had been vigilant towards her since she let
Christy go the last time. Although he did not say it out loud, there was obviously a trace of vigilance in his eyes when he saw her.
Perhaps it was because Irene went to find Branden’s garden villa alone and shattered his glass that aroused his suspicions.
Of course, Irene did not deny it. She had been waiting for her father to mention this matter to her, but his father had never
mentioned it. Although he had never been to the garden villa, Irene knew that he had a bodyguard in secret. That bodyguard
must have told him. As for why he did not settle the score with her, perhaps it was because this was a critical period and he
could not arouse the suspicion of the police.
Branden did not bring up the topic of divorce with Ms. Corrine. Moreover, he had been living in the old house honestly these
days. Probably because he knew that the police still suspected him, and they would send someone to keep an eye on him. Every
day, he only stayed at his workplace and home. He would go home after work, playing chess and drinking. Occasionally, he
would invite his friends to his home. He seemed relaxed and everything seemed normal.
Ferne didn’t dare to let down his guard. This time, he was so confident that he finally caught Branden, but the police let him go
because there was insufficient evidence. The blow to him was no less than when he heard that the group of children who were
rescued was killed. However, after keeping an eye on Branden from morning till night these days, now he could calmly think
about a more comprehensive plan.
When Collin called, he was having a sandwich in the car. He had lost a lot of weight these past few days. Although his exercise
time had decreased, his body was still strong. Perhaps it was because he was worried that the car would be exposed when he
spied on Branden. Sometimes, he would run to the other end before changing cars. Maybe he happened to exercise a little
during the time.
He originally wanted to train his muscles and show off to Noah. But now things were different. Occasionally, he would make a
phone call and felt that he might contact Noah too frequently. He barely remembered his wife. Only when he washed his face at
night and felt the ring on his hand could he remembered that he was married.
Collin said his thoughts over the phone. Ferne was quite surprised. The police sent quite a few people to the hospital to inquire
about it, but they were unable to get the inside information. For example, they couldn’t get true reports about the GY Temple. The
information they received was all fake. They didn’t have any evidence. Just based on assumptions, the police wouldn’t stand on
their side.
Ferne chatted with Collin for half an hour before hanging up the phone. Then he stuffed half of the sandwich back into his mouth.
Just as he was about to drink water, Irene came out of the door. She changed into sportswear and a sports coat. She looked
bright and refreshing.
But she changed.
Ferne had seen Irene before. She was beautiful, tall, and had a better temperament than Arabella. She looked like a girl from a
large family. She was confident, enjoyed the limelight, and was accustomed to everyone’s gaze.
However, her gaze was very different recently. It was no longer full of passion, but stress. Occasionally, her smile would seem
somewhat reluctant.
Ferne turned on the water and patted the driver’s seat, “Let’s go.”
Captain Randy assigned him a policeman. He had been doing counter-stalking. He knew how to stop and stalk. He didn’t talk
much, or smoke or drink. He was boring but strict. Ferne had said the most with him, “Go!” “Hurry! Right!” “Follow me!”
Apart from that, there was probably only “I’m going to pee.” “What do you want to eat? I’ll bring it to you.”
The two of them only met a week ago. Ferne had to remember too many things in his mind, so he always forgot the policeman’s
name, and then he just called him with various names.
A week ago, Ferne called him “Samuel.” The day before yesterday, it was “Antonio.” Yesterday, “Tony.”
Irene drove up to the hospital gate but did not get out. Fern stared at her, wondering whether Irene was waiting for someone or
something.
About ten minutes later, a crippled man came out from the hospital. He did not lean on a cane and just dragged his legs down
the road. He flagged a taxi.
Irene’s car followed him unhurriedly.
Ferne hurriedly patted the driver’s seat, “Joe, follow.”
The policeman was speechless.
