Crises in Love (Zora and Jaylan) novel Chapter 599

For a long moment, Hannah broke the silence, "Ever since we met Fidelia, I've been curious about Camilla's business trip. I kept in touch with Fidelia, sending her messages now and then, probing to see if Camilla had returned. She told me Camilla got back yesterday afternoon. So, I asked if Camilla brought any gifts back this time. And Fidelia shot back with this."

Pacing back and forth, I mulled over Camilla's behavior, unable to fathom a reasonable explanation.

"Did you guys have someone look into Camilla the day before yesterday?" I asked Hannah, looking up.

"Exactly." Hannah nodded, "So, I thought I'd try to learn a bit more about her from the sidelines."

I quickly phoned Logan, asking where he was.

He said he was out running some errands and was on his way back.

"All right, I'm at Serene Garden Homes. We'll talk when you're back."

After hanging up, I exchanged a glance with Hannah and then headed downstairs.

In less than ten minutes, Logan arrived back with Ronan.

Ronan, looking at me, inquired, "Something up?"

I quickly brought up the gift from Fidelia, prompting Hannah to show Logan the photo of the boat model. He examined it closely before passing the phone to Ronan.

Ronan, too, scrutinized the image after enlarging it.

I said, full of doubts, "Could she have really gone to Silverdale City this time? But she just came back from there. This feels so intriguing. If she had business in Silverdale City, why didn't she take care of it during her last trip?"

Ronan told Logan, "Check the airline passenger lists, confirm if she actually went to Silverdale City."

Logan asked me about the rough dates of Camilla's business trip. Then he immediately made a call to check the lists.

While we waited for news, I briefed Ronan on yesterday's meeting with Geneva.

Ronan handed me a report, saying Geneva's blood sample came back clear, and there was no virus infection.

I patted my chest in relief, murmuring a silent prayer of thanks, "That's a weight off my shoulders."

But Ronan's face was grave, and he said, "We need to resolve Geneva's situation properly, and it's a ticking time bomb. We can't have any slip-ups with Noah's lead, or it might scare off the big shot behind him. If he goes to ground, who knows how long we'll be waiting."
