Back home, Elaine sat on the bed, staring blankly ahead.
After a while, she raised her hand and stroked the necklace around her neck.
It had been only two days. But all of a sudden, everything has changed.
Thinking of this, Elaine suddenly sat up straight again.
The reason why he went to visit her in Switzerland, was it possible that he had already known the news of his great-grandfather’s death at that time?
No wonder Darnell said to her when he dropped her off at school, “Let our journey end here”.
Is this what he meant?
Elaine pursed her lips slightly and stood up slowly.
She changed her clothes and sneaked out of the house in the middle of the night.
One o’clock.
Archer was in a sound asleep when he was woken up by a rush of doorbells.
He opened the door impatiently with his eyes closed, “Who is doing this shit in the middle of the night...”
Elaine said sincerely, “Cousin, it’s me.”
Archer, “...”
Every time Elaine called him cousin, there would be trouble.
Archer opened his eyes and walked inside while yawning, “What’s wrong? My dear lord!”
Elaine closed the door, followed him quickly, and said in a hurry, “Do you know, that my dad and someone from the James family, are going to go to war with Darnell together? What should we do?”
Archer sat on the sofa and said lazily, “What else can we do? I’m not your father.”
“Then...” Elaine’s mind turned quickly, “But you also went to the funeral of the great grandfather. You and Darnell have such a good relationship, won’t he fight you together?”
Archer adjusted his sitting posture and looked at her. He could finally get himself together, “this is the moment that can reveal the power of connection, my dear. There are some methods that you can’t use.”
Elaine kept her mouth shut, looking at him as if she was about to cry.
“Okay, okay.” Archer explained, “I’m a doctor. The infighting of the James family has nothing to do with me. No matter who wins, I won’t be affected, see? It will not harm any interests of mine.”
Elaine shook her head.
Archer further explained, “Although my laboratory was funded by Darnell, I have also helped the entire James family with medical support over the years. Besides, I am so young and have such a high level of medical skills. Isn’t that a huge loss of someone who want to start a war with me?”
Even though Archer was standing by Darnell’s side in public, he also had many relatives and friends in the James family. So it’s impossible for him to stand by idly.
If someone was hurt and need his help, he wouldn’t reject it and Darnell wouldn’t stop him.
This was something that all three parties have acquiesced in.
Elaine said, “So, you are now neutral if the Darnell and the James family start the war?”
“Sort of.” Archer said slowly, “It is also very important to have your own skill, my lady.”
Elaine looked at him without saying a word.
Archer, “?”
Elaine said, “Then if I stand by your side, can I also stand neutral and run away from their battles?”
Archer sighed, “It’s not as simple as you think. Based on your father’s status, you are already conspicuous enough. How could the James family give up his support? When your great grandfather was still alive, they could hold back a bit, but now...If they don’t have your dad’s support, then neither can Darnell, you understand?”
“My dad has the ability to protect himself, and if...If he supports Darnell, Darnell will definitely send someone to protect him.”
