Don't Try to Escape, My Wife! novel Chapter 1657

As soon as Edison heard it, he knew it wasn't a good thing. Since Joseph hadn't told Zoe the reason when he left, he naturally didn't want her to know. How could he possibly tell her now?

But if he didn't, Zoe wouldn't let him go, so he couldn't help but feel even more depressed.

"Ouch, my stomach hurts!"

With that, he was about to run for the toilet, but Zoe yanked him by the collar.

"Don't even think about leaving. You really think I'm afraid to go into the gents, don't you? Edison, think carefully, if I go into your bathroom, you'll have to be responsible for me."

As soon as he heard the word “responsible”, Edison couldn't help but shiver.

"My God, you're really ..."

Edison couldn't even find the right words to describe her.

Zoe smiled sweetly, "Really what? "

"Forget it, I help you, okay? When Joseph tries to kill me later, you're going to have to protect me. Do you hear me?"

Zoe suddenly said with contempt, "Aren't you ashamed to ask a girl to protect you?"

"No. I didn't want to investigate. You forced me to do it. Shouldn't you be protecting me?"

"Yes. I'll protect you! Just hurry up!"

Zoe was practically getting frantic.

Only then did Edison get up slowly and walk towards the study. He winked at the maid as he went, who took his cue and already started to go outside to call Lucas.

Opening the computer, Edison tapped the keyboard quickly.

Lucas froze for a moment as he got the message, then quickly turned on the computer and started chatting in code with Edison on the computer.

"Tell Zoe that Eaton is ill and in a very special condition, and that Joseph is here to take a look. Joseph will be back in a couple of days with Eaton, and Great-grandpa is sick because he's anxious about it, so tell her to take good care of Great-grandpa."

"Is Eaton really sick?"

Edison couldn't help but be a little worried.

"No, it's a kidnapping. the Shaffer family kidnapped Eaton, and I'll get even with them sooner or later."

"The Shaffer family? Is it the Shaffer family in Capital City?"

"Yes. You should be careful. I remember that the Shaffer family has people in the military. You should keep a low profile these days."

Lucas wasn't too sure about Edison.

"Don't worry, my daddy is at least Edgar Kidd. They wouldn't dare hurt me. But I went back home to Valence City the other day and saw someone come up to our house to talk to my daddy. I did overhear the words “the Shaffer family”. It's not like they couldn't bribe the Green Family and turned around to bribe the Kidd family, is it?"

"I don't know. Don't worry about grown-ups' business. How is your health these days?"

"I'm fine. Don't worry about me. If you need anything, just tell me. I'm always here."

"Okay."

Lucas was a little relieved.

Edison was one of the few friends he had.

Zoe couldn't see clearly what they were talking about in code and couldn't help but frown and ask, "Is it done yet?"

"You think hacking is fun? I have to take my time finding it!"

Edison said quickly.

As she watched Edison's long fingers fly over the keyboard, she couldn't help but think of Lucas, and she wondered how her brother was doing now.

She missed him a little.

Zoe waited quietly while Edison waited for a while before telling Zoe what Lucas had said.

She looked a little worried.

"What kind of disease does he have? Is it serious?"

"Missy, I can't find out about this. Since Joseph was there, it was natural that this wouldn't be filed. Where am I going to look up something that isn't on file?"

He had no problem with that.

Now that she'd achieved her goal, Zoe got up and left.

"You're being too ruthless, aren't you?"

Edison got even more depressed.

Zoe waved her hand and said, "I'll buy you something good to eat later."
