Chapter 502 Almost Couldn't Take it Anymore
Lamont said this, and suddenly deflated like a punctured ball, "I know, I'm injured, and if I act with you guys, I'll only hold you back, but at least I can shield Paige from some danger, right? I'm willing to be a human shield, blocking whatever I can. This concerns Yana, and I don't want to miss any opportunity to investigate the truth. I want to be personally involved..."
He didn't want to be useless, like a disabled person waiting at home for news, with everything handled by his sister and brother-in-law. He wanted to contribute...
Especially since this matter was related to Yana.
"Lamont, we don't think you're holding us back," Martin's eyes glistened with sincerity, and his voice was warm and respectful, ’You're badly injured, and we just want you to get some more rest. That's all. We've been worried because you haven't been resting well these days."
Seeing Lamont's mood improved, Martin continued, ’Paige and I are familiar with this place, so it's convenient for us to move around. We kept it from you because we didn't want you to worry, fearing you wouldn't sleep well again."
He explained, "Paige understands you. She knows that as an older brother, you would risk your life for your sister in dangerous situations. So, she doesn't want you to be a human shield. She just hopes that you will be well and able to find Yana, living a happy life together for the rest of your days. You shouldn't feel like you haven't contributed. Getting to this point is not the achievement of one person, but the result of everyone's efforts."
Lamont didn't expect that this usually reticent and cold young man could be so good at comforting people. The key point was that after being comforted by Martin, Lamont suddenly felt that he had done something wrong, but he couldn't pinpoint what exactly was wrong...
"There's one more thing," Martin changed the subject, speaking gently, "Tonight, Paige and I found that place. It's a nameless mountain, guarded by quite a few people. We used the key left by Yana to enter smoothly. In the innermost laboratory, Paige cracked the password and tried to download the data package when three problems arose.’
Lamont's heart tightened, and he was immediately distracted, focusing on this. "What problems?"
"They're related to you."
Martin briefly described what happened tonight, and Lamont's heart was filled with shock, surprise, and ecstasy...
There were three questions set, asking for his name, the specific time they started dating, and his birthday...
All three were related to Lamont!
Who else would set such questions besides Yana?
"At the most critical moment, setting such questions means that in Yana's heart, you're a very important person,' Martin continued, "In a way, you have also been accompanying her and guarding her most precious things."
Lamont's heart stirred again, "Did she leave any other message?'
"No." Martin took out his phone. "But we've cracked two data packages. I'm sending them to you now. They probably contain the truth you want to know."
For example, why Yana suddenly asked for a breakup, why she disappeared without a trace, and what her relationship was with the organization they encountered tonight...
The answers were all likely in the data packages.
Lamont took out his phone, anxiously waiting for the data to come through.
After all the time he had spent trying to figure out the reason for the breakup and investigating Yana's disappearance with Paige and Martin, the truth was about to be revealed.
He was excited, nervous, anxious, and uneasy...
"One is 6 gigabytes, the other is 7," Martin said, referring to the amount of memory the data package took up. This indicated that there was a lot of information inside, and it couldn't be processed quickly.
At that moment, Martin's phone vibrated, and he glanced at it. "Lamont, I have something to take care of. You can look through the data. Take a break if you get tired. Paige is out handling some business. If you need anything, just contact me."
"Okay, be careful on your way back," Lamont said as he was about to head upstairs. Suddenly, he remembered something and asked, "You and Paige weren't hurt tonight, right?'
"No."
