Ice and Fire novel Chapter 795

Hearing those words, Greg felt weak. Violet shook off his hands and release herself from his hold on her. She quickly ran towards the stairs and up to her room without another look back.

Greg felt powerless to do anything, he couldn't stop his wife. Dejected, all he could do now was watch her run away from him.

With his head down, Greg walked back towards the door. Outside, he saw Elsa by the flowers.

Upon seeing him walk out the door, Elsa asked, "Are you leaving, Greg? It's almost lunch time, stay and eat first." She could tell from the look of his face that Violet turned him away again.

Greg looked at Elsa, tried to smile at her but shook his head and said, "I don't think that's a good idea. Thank you, Elsa. But Violet still won't talk to me. I'll come back and try again in a few days."

Elsa felt Greg's despair, but nodded in agreement, "I understand. I think that'll be for the best, too. Violet isn't willing to talk to anyone, yet. Come back and try again, Greg. I know how hard this must be for you, but please don't give up on her. I'm sure once she calms down and starts to talk again, she will understand you."

"I know, Grandma. Don't worry, I don't intend on giving up on her. Thank you and good bye. See you in a few days."

Elsa smiled, "Okay, good bye. Drive safe, Greg."

Meanwhile in the city, Francis was walking down a lonely street, looking for a very Hotel named XH. Seeing that he was nearly reaching the end of the street but spotted nothing, he felt confused. But upon walking further, he finally found what he was looking for.

Francis purposely walked in the hotel. He approached the front desk and loudly asked the receptionist, "What room number is Cassie in?"

The receptionist looked up at him and said, "I'm sorry, I can't just give our clients' information to anyone. May I know who you are?" Cassie had specifically given an instruction to only give her room number to Mr. Francis.

Francis immediately said his name, "Francis An." Since Cassie had asked him to come here, he assumed she had told the receptionist and arranged everything for his arrival.

As he expected, "Room 3203," the receptionist curtly told him.

Without waiting for another word, Frances turned and went upstairs, looking for room 3203.

He soon saw the room number and opened the door to Cassie's room. Upon seeing the state of the room, he couldn't help but think, 'This hotel is in such a bad condition, it's very dingy. It's even worse than the small apartments in the city. How could Cassie possibly take to be living here for so many days?'

Francis was baffled as to why, he couldn't help but ask, "Why are you living here? Your room in the city hotel is kept for you." Cassie had always lived a comfortable life. She was rich and mostly sheltered. So Francis couldn't possibly see how and why she was choosing to live in such a bad environment. How could she stay in such a shabby and noisy hotel when she could live lavishly anywhere else.

Cassie shrugged and replied, "I've been told that the JS Group and the ZM Group are looking for me, so I have to hide and live here. This is the last place they would come searching for me." She knew that the people in those two groups were Violet's employees. She also knew that they were looking for her because of Violet. If they found her, she knew she would be dead. In this whole city, the only one she could trust and rely on was Francis.
