Chapter 779
The two men stood up in tacit agreement, ready to leave.
But before they could take a step, Zachary was called back by his mother.
“Let the family doctor take a look at you first.”
Frank sat back down and continued eating.
Zachary thought, ‘You really are my good friend‘
He could only sit back down.
His mother instructed Julie to call the doctor, and soon Dr. Travis arrived. “Sir, let me check you.”
Zachary nodded.
After Dr. Travis examined him, he inquired about the situation.
Zachary simply said it hurt and that he couldn’t hear well.
No matter what Dr. Travis asked, he stuck to that statement.
Finally, Dr. Travis said, “It’s better to go to the hospital for an X–ray. Hearing issues can be serious, so we can’t be careless.”
The Collins family understood clearly that Frank was helping Zachary cover for him to go to the hospital to see Jane.
They really couldn’t stop him.
But recently, Zachary must have been holding in a lot of anger, which could have caused his ear pain as well.
They couldn’t afford him to have severe problems.
“I’ll
go with you.” Rebecca stood up.
Zachary didn’t say anything and walked out first.
Frank leisurely wiped his mouth with a napkin before standing up.
He walked to the entrance, grabbed his coat, and took long strides.,
By the time his mother changed her shoes and stepped outside, the two men were already out of sight.
Zachary’s car was still there.
That meant he had climbed over the wall to get into Frank’s car.

She really felt a headache coming on.
“I’ll give you a ride,” Sir Collins said, seeing Zachary’s car still there and noticing his wife lingering at the door.
Rebecca asked him, “If in the end, Zachary cuts ties with us to be with that woman, what are you going to do?”
Sir Collins’s expression was serious and cold. “I’ll prevent all possible future problems.”
On the other side, Zachary asked Frank for the footage from the escape room.
Frank tossed a tablet to him, leaned back in his chair with his eyes closed, and began resting.
Zachary opened it but didn’t hear any sound, so he pressed the volume button a few times. To his surprise, a ghost NPC suddenly appeared on the screen, screaming several times.
Frank didn’t open his eyes but spoke in a cold voice, “You’re really having issues with your
ears.
Zachary retorted, “They were speaking so softly, and there were all sorts of sound effects. How could I hear them clearly?”
Frank coldly scoffed, “I’ve noticed your ears aren’t working, and now your eyes seem to be going blind too. They clearly avoided the surveillance, you couldn’t even lipread. How do you expect to hear anything?”
Zachary pinched the bridge of his nose.
Recently, Nina had really thrown him off, making him lose even the most basic judgment.
“I can’t conveniently send someone to investigate. Help me find out Nina’s activities, including in Heliafield.”
Frank replied, “That surveillance can only be on her.”
Zachary paused, suddenly realizing something, and asked, “What use does she have for that night’s footage? Is it just the part where she was at the door, meant to place the blame for the child on me?”
