Chapter 297
It’s the middle of the night. What the hell is wrong with you?”
Cole Preston, still in his pajamas, climbed into Ethan Hale’s car parked in front of his house.
Seatbelt, Ethan muttered, his thin lips barely moving. He floored the gas.
Cole looked startled as he yanked the seatbelt into place. “Where are we going?”
You’ll know when we get there.”
Ethan’s hands, with their well-defined knuckles, gripped the steering wheel tightly.
The car sped through the streets illuminated by clusters of neon lights.
An hour later, they arrived at SuperMiami Nightclub in downtown Northbrook.
The entire hall was bathed in multi-colored lights, the air thick with the scent of decadence and excess.
Ethan and Cole entered a private booth on the second floor, which overlooked the entire venue. Once the window was shut, the deafening music was muffled.
If
you wanted to come here, you could’ve at least given me a heads-up so I could change,” Cole said, looking lown at his burgundy silk pajamas.
Even though the bouncers hadn’t stopped him, everyone he passed had given him a second look. Compared to the people dressed in eccentric outfits, he was the one who looked like a freak.
Drink,” Ethan said, pointing at the high-proof liquor on the table. “Consider this a welcome-back party for your eturn to the country.”
Cole: “…”
Was this a welcome-back party for him, or a send-off for someone else?”
Oh, right. That “someone else” was gone. So it really was for him.
He couldn’t help but point out, “I’ve been back for a long time, and we’ve already had dinner together.”
Stop whining.”
Ethan picked up a whole bottle of vodka and tossed it to Cole.
Cole caught it instinctively. Seeing no way out, he opened the bottle and poured himself a glass.
Before he could take a sip, Ethan suddenly asked, “Is your master considered the best doctor in the industry, both here and abroad?”
In the dim booth, a warm light glowed above Ethan’s head, shrouding him. His deep, dark eyes were hidden in the shadows cast by his eyelids.
Cole’s eyes flickered as he took a small sip of the liquor. “There’s always someone better out there. You could keep looking.”
Ethan’s jawline was sharp, his brow furrowed, making his face look incredibly tense. “Your master said even a god

couldn’t help her.”
If she gets cured, are you still going to marry her?” Cole asked bluntly.

Ethan’s brow arched. His dark pupils were deep and inscrutable. “What do you think I’m looking for a doctor for”
Then why didn’t you look sooner?” Cole asked.
Ethan’s brow tightened. “You were the one who told me there was no chance of a full recovery.”
Now, Cole was the one telling him to keep looking because there was always someone better out there.
My bad.” Cole refilled his glass, raised it toward Ethan, and downed it in one go.
He had betrayed Ethan’s trust. Even now, Ethan hadn’t suspected him for a second.
