Then, I leaned back and smiled at her, scrutinizing her expression. She paled for a moment but quickly returned to normal.
Still smiling, she reminded me, "Be careful on the road."
That was audacious of her! However, just this subtle change was enough for me to understand. I calmly replied, "Thanks. I'll take your words to heart. I'm just like a cat, after all."
Then, I got into the car and told the driver, "Take me back to the office."
Since I got injured, Atlas didn't allow me to drive independently and assigned a driver for me.
I dialed Grayson, "Check why Liora came to the hospital."
Before I could hang up, another call came in from Trinity. "Where are you?"
"On my way back to the office."
"Is it urgent?"
"Yeah, I have some things to do." I didn't hide anything, and she knew about my injury. "Do you need anything?"
“Call me back when you’re done," she said, then hung up.
Back at the office, I called Adrian and explained Ardora's situation in detail. After pondering for a while, Adrian asked, "Are you suggesting I take on this case?"
"I don't trust anyone else, and they won't win," I stated. Our communication has become more direct over the past year. There was an understanding between us.
"What do you want from this?" he inquired, and I knew what he was asking.
"Grant him freedom," I said blatantly. That was my obligation to the deceased Grace.
"Okay." Adrian didn't hesitate.
"I'll have Johnson work with you. He can help you gather the necessary materials." I added.
