Chapter 234 Cracks in the Facade

Sabrina’s face shifted. She could hear the warning underneath every word.

He was basically saying that Rex’s behavior was entirely her fault.

“I’m sorry, Captain Carter…

Her eyes went red instantly. “You’re right. As his girlfriend, I should have stopped him when he was being reckless…”

Rex saw her tears and immediately softened. He pulled her into his arms. “Don’t blame yourself. How is any of this your fault? You tried to hold me back.”

“Rex, apologize to Captain Carter.”

Sabrina looked up at him, her voice catching. “What happened earlier was on us.”

Rex clenched his jaw. Morton’s words had been crystal clear: he could walk away anytime he wanted.

He might actually walk away.

Fine. He couldn’t do anything about it right now. But once they were back under his father’s wing? Morton would pay.

Rex fixed his gaze on Morton, face tight with humiliation. “I apologize, Captain Carter. I was out of line.”

Morton arched a brow, his glance drifting to Sabrina in Rex’s arms. The corner of his mouth twitched. “No need. Mr. Madron should focus on comforting Ms. Lowe. If she keeps crying like that, the mutated zombies in the area might flee in terror.”

The silence that followed was deafening.

義

Sabrina’s half–formed tears froze on her lashes. She had no idea whether to let them fall or blink them back.

Rex was livid, but Morton had clearly moved on–he wayed for Cade and the others to follow, already walking away.

Cade finished collecting crystals, sidled up to the others and muttered, “I think we’ve finally cracked the mystery of why our captain is still single at 38.”

“I mean, did you see that? Sabrina was crying her eyes out. Any normal man would’ve softened at least a little. But Captain? Stone cold. Zero comfort. He even told her that her crying would scare off mutated zombies.”

“Right?”

Glen forced a crooked smile, then glanced back at Sabrina who was wiping her eyes in Rex’s arms. “Honestly, Ms. Lowe seems like a decent person. It’s Mr. Madron who’s the problem. Constantly waving his dad around like a weapon. Does he really think the captain is afraid of his father?”

“Exactly. Our captain could go anywhere he wants. Staying in Sanctum City would already be a solid choice. The real shame is Ms. Lowe–how’d she end up with that spoiled brat?”

Once they started, they couldn’t stop.

Sean cleared his throat and reminded them, “The captain can hear you.”

Everyone jumped in shock.

Cade and the others instantly went quiet.

Morton lit a cigarette and, having heard every word, found himself genuinely contemplating his next move.

Sabrina, meanwhile, had caught every syllable of the men’s gossiping. Her stomach churned with dread.

Morton abandoned Rex, the boy wouldn’t survive long enough to leave Sanctum City. She couldn’t stay

ned to him. She needed to find another team–another way to survive.

she could gamble.

She stared fixedly at Morton’s back, her eyes brimming with calculation!

Meanwhile.

Cecelia and Draven emerged from the Eastern District.

They had made it back to the safe house.

“Cecelia!”

Amber spotted Cecelia from the upper floor and waved frantically before tearing downstairs.

Cecelia could tell something was off from her expression. “What happened?”

“Jerome… Jerome is gone!”

Amber’s words tumbled out in a rush. “Right after you left this morning, Ivy and I woke up because Oliver collapsed in the hallway. When we checked his room, Jerome had vanished. Everyone searched–Timothy, Hendrick, all of us—but there’s no trace. He left on his own. Didn’t even leave a note.”

Cecelia was quiet for a moment.

She hadn’t expected to lose a team member while she was out.

Jerome had no ability. Where could he possibly go

alone?

Was he afraid of being a burden?

One fewer person on the roster meant his odds of getting a permanent spot just went up.

“Cece, about Jerome…”

When Ivy saw her sister come back, she didn’t even know how to explain.

She knew her sister valued Jerome highly.
