In Love, Never Say Never (Ashton Fuller and Scarlett Stovall) novel Chapter 1022

“We should head outside first!”

Joseph looked confused. “We’re leaving already?”

I nodded. “Armond is currently in Moranta while Brandon is still occupied with the death of his wife. At a time like this, our main priority should be to locate Jody as soon as possible. Contact Dillan. He should have some information for us by now.”

Joseph nodded and left without any questions.

I then met up with Zachary in his hotel room. Using the noisy environment as an excuse, we checked out of the hotel and quickly left.

When we returned back to the hospital, Summer’s surgery was done. Cameron was accompanying her during her recovery in the hospital. Fortunately, everything went smoothly.

Meanwhile, I went to find Ann and Amy. They settled down in an urban village in A City. The environment they lived in seemed a bit vile and dirty. When Ann saw my face, she didn’t look surprised at all. She then continued on nonchalantly with her cooking using the induction cooker. Since there was no ventilation, the whole room was engulfed in smoke.

“The environment here isn’t that good. Apologies!” She coughed a few times as she was saying that. After helping to set up the food on the small table, Amy sat on the bench beside the table and waited.

Although their living conditions wasn’t that good, the two of them seemed happy together nonetheless. Cutting to the chase, I directly stated, “I’ve promised you that I’ll help you find Jody. In return, I’d like you to convince him to go with us to the Imperial Hotel.”

She lowered her head and continued washing the pots. “You guys want him to lead you to the basement right?”

“Yes,” I answered truthfully.

She glared at me and uttered, “You do know that there’s no need for you guys to confirm personally right? You can just call the police. Since they don’t have time to move the goods now, they’ll be forced to wait when the police do an investigation as the elevator is the only exit.”

I smiled and responded, “I’ll consider it. That being said, I still need you to convince Jody.”

She went silent for a bit before replying, “I’m not sure if I could convince him. Have you guys found him?”

I shook my head. “Not yet!”

“I see.” She walked to the table and sat down. “Do you want to have some?” she asked.

I shook my head. I then waited quietly on the side for her to finish her food before I added, “I used to think that what I did was right. But looking back at it now, I realized how daft and juvenile I really was. That’s what I get for being so dumb.”

Confused, she raised her eyebrows. “Ms. Stovall, what are you…”

“It’s nothing. I’m just blabbering. Okay then, I should probably go now. I’ll contact you again once I’ve located Jody.”
