Chapter 1985 Slow Down, Don't Run
Early in the morning outside the prison, it was drizzling.
Rosalie and Byron were quietly waiting in a Rolls-Royce until the big iron gates began to open slowly.
Yves was still in prison uniform when a middle-aged prison guard said, "Behave yourself after getting out and stop making mistakes!"
He nodded and a relaxed smile appeared on his lips. "I will, Mr. Zigler. Wait till I get myself a new job and I'll come see you once I've earned some money. Thanks for always looking out for me."
"What's there to thank me for? Just don't come back ever again. It's bad luck! Just go..." The middle-aged prison guard smiled.
Yves had always thought that no one would come to pick him up and did not pay attention to the Rolls-Royce.
It was until Byron appeared while helping Rosalie out of the car that astonishment appeared on his face.
"You’re finally out, Yves Graham!" Byron smiled.
He had thought it would be a few more months before Yves would be released, but Yves' sentence was shortened due to good behavior.
The look in Rosalie's eyes was calm and gentle. She had let go of whatever that had happened. She nodded at Yves and
said, "Hello, Mr. Yves Graham. Welcome back!"
Yves was surprised. He had never expected these two people would come to pick him up. What was even more astonishing was Rosalie's willingness to give him another chance and even allowed him to return to the research institute.
Yves was emotional as he watched the scenery fly by him while he was in the car.
Byron had planned a huge lunch to welcome him back.
However, Yves politely declined. "I've gotten used to the light food in prison. I don't think rich food would suit me right after I’ve gotten out. It will mess with my digestive system and give me pancreatitis. That’s a serious illness that might kill me!"
Rosalie nodded too while Byron just smiled.
'Thank you for picking me up. I'll make sure to be at the research institute on time tomorrow. You can let me off at this address. Someone in prison asked for help to send word to a friend," Yves said suddenly.
