Nothing Matters, except YOU & Me novel Chapter 715

Since there was no time for more consideration right now, Heather decided to follow Zayne’s instructions. However, Leon disagreed with her. “Can I tell you my opinion, Heather?” He thought what Zayne had said sounded too exaggerated. He had been hunted himself, so he believed he was qualified to speak. “Three hours isn’t long. It’s better to stay at the police station instead of spending time looking for the address.” He didn’t believe that someone would burst into the police station and kill people in large numbers. Such a situation appeared mostly in films and TV dramas, but it rarely happened in reality.

“Since Zayne has told us to do so, I believe that he’s given this serious and careful consideration.” On the contrary, Heather didn’t think Zayne was making a mountain out of a molehill. She knew him very well, and she was aware that he was a person with great finesse.

“Heather, it’ll be more likely for us to encounter danger if we go out right now.” Leon needed to remind her about this. It wasn’t necessarily safe outside, and it might be even more dangerous than staying at the police station.

Heather insisted on trusting Zayne, though. “Zayne has planned the route for us, so I believe in his judgment and plans.”

Upon hearing Heather’s words, Leon could say nothing more. “Since that’s the case, let’s go, Heather!” He had always known how to behave. Now that Heather had already said something like this, what else could he say?

However, Heather suddenly changed her mind. “I’m the one they’re trying to kill, Leon. You have nothing to do with this, so you’d better not risk your life with me.”

When he heard her saying that, his face darkened instantly as he looked at her frostily. “Am I a coward who’s afraid of death in your eyes, Heather?” No matter what, he would never leave her at this moment.

“We have to be rational, Leon. It’s really not suitable for us to move about together in such a situation right now.” Heather didn’t want to bring him into trouble. She wanted to act alone, but convincing Leon was a big problem.

The man ignored Heather’s words directly, though. “Heather, what route has Zayne planned for us?” He refused to go elsewhere right now since he only wanted to stay by her side. Her current predicament unsettled him very much, so he couldn’t wait to get closer to her and was even willing to shield her from danger. Therefore, it was absolutely impossible to separate him from Heather right now.

“You know my fighting skills, Leon. I’ll be even more overcautious with you around,” Heather said frankly. She looked at him sincerely, trying to use such a way to stop him from coming with her.

Meanwhile, Leon was nearly fooled by Heather when he looked at her. Luckily, he didn’t believe her to be such a person, so he said firmly, “Don’t worry, Heather. I’ll never get in your way.”

Heather was still unwilling to accept this, though. She knew how dangerous the outside world was, but she didn’t have any alternative to choose from. However, Leon was different, so she couldn’t let any danger befall him.

“Heather, Zayne will arrive if we keep stalling for time. In that case, we might as well wait for him at the police station. Anyway, the policewoman’s superiors will definitely appoint some people to protect us after she asks them for instructions,” Leon said in a threatening tone. Indeed, they couldn’t go anywhere if they kept on wasting time like this.

Going on like this wasn’t the solution, so Heather could only take him with her. Right now, she could only pray for their safety for the upcoming journey. Then, the pair of them openly walked out of the police station. They were lucky in a sense that the policewoman hadn’t come back yet, or they probably would’ve been unable to leave.

When they picked up their car, Leon asked Heather worriedly, “Is it really fine for us to leave directly?” After all, the policewoman had already requested help from her superiors to dispatch more police personnel for protection, so it seemed like they’d be making her look really bad by running away like this.

“Nothing will happen.” Heather laughed. “We’re witnesses, not suspects,” she reminded him. She didn’t know why, but she felt that Leon seemed to be burdened with sin.

“Let’s hurry up and get into the car,” he suddenly urged. Only after getting into the car did he feel a sense of security. They had been completely exposed outside just now, which made him feel very insecure. The limited space in the car instantly kindled a sense of security in him.

Heather looked steadily ahead as she drove, whereas Leon looked at her from the side. Now that things had become increasingly complicated, every second felt unbearable. “Do you have a better way right now, Heather?” he suddenly asked, baffling the woman somewhat.

“What sort of way?” Heather asked puzzledly in reply. Why would Leon say things that don’t make any sense? she thought to herself.

“We seem to be too much on the defensive side, Heather. Is there any way to gain the initiative?” Leon thought it felt very awful to be an easy target since he couldn’t make head or tail of this at all.

“Calm down, Leon. It’s impossible to gain the initiative since we don’t even know who the suspect is right now.” Heather thought that Leon’s words sounded too easy. If it was that easy to do so, they wouldn’t have been so worried about their safety.

“Just think carefully, Heather. Can’t you really think of any suspects?” Leon believed many could be suspicious, so he hoped that Heather could use her head.

However, she shook her head. “At the moment, I still can’t figure out who would want me killed.” She couldn’t pinpoint such a charge on anyone since she wasn’t that kind of person.

“Would Zayne happen to know some inside stories then, Heather?” Leon thought they didn’t know exactly what Zayne knew in reality, for the latter sounded rather reserved over the phone.
