Chapter 1012


    "You can''t say that. It has always been just the five of u s who experienced this near-death


    experience. This whole time, you were only relying on men and yourwork. You haven''t really


    gotten injured much.


    Don''t you think it''s too effortless for you to say that we''re close friends?”


    Her words were truly harsh but she was speaking the truth.


    I was speechless and could only smile awkwardly.


    "You don’t need to be so harsh, Dazaray.” Shannon was a little angry now. She looked at Dazaray


    and said, "If it weren''t for Wanda and Mr. Fredericks, do you really think we could have survived so


    easily? We can’t be ungrateful, alright?"


    A fire ignited between the two.


    Dazaray sneered. "Do you really think she saved us? If she was sincere about saving us, then she


    would''ve taken us away immediately. We wouldn''t have to go through with the surgery. She waited


    until we finished having the surgery before rescuing us so we would have another surgery and


    suffer again."


    Thaddea raised her eyes to look at her and frowned slightly, saying with a hint of displeasure, "If


    you


    didn’t need her help, then you could''ve left on your own when we got here. Why did you even bother


    going to her room so early in the morning just to show her the scar on your tummy?"


    She continued after a pause, "To put it bluntly, what obligation or duty does she have to save us? If


    she only cared about herself, then don’t you think it would make more sense for her to leave us


    here and escape b y herself? What makes you think she has the obligation to help you out?"


    Dazaray could not refute those words, so her face was suddenly flushed.


    Holly darted her a nce and quickly said, "Let''s all talk nicely, shall we? There''s no need to start a


    fight. Besides, there''s no point fighting. We''re safe now. Shouldn''t we be d that we’re still alive?"


    The air was silent again. Dazaray red at me and got up, saying, "I''m full."


    She hurried upstairs after saying that.


    Nina looked at me and asked, "Are you going straight back to Whaldorf City once we return?"


    I nodded, then mulled it over and said, "I n to visit my son."


    "You have a son?" She was a little surprised. "You look so young. How could you have a son?"


    Shannon was equally surprised. "How old is your son?"


    I replied with a smile, "He''s five."


    Shannon pursed her lips. "Does Jordan know that you''re married?"


    I was a little puzzled by the question, but I still nodded to reply, "He knows.”


    "Huh?" They were astounded. "Why is he still so nice t o you when he knows that you have a


    family? Is he infatuated with you?"


    "Strange, I wonder why all attractive guys love young married wives nowadays."


    I finally understood that they had misunderstood. I quickly said, "You think too much. Jordan only


    helps me because I have something he wants. We''re just making an exchange."Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g!


    "An exchange?" Shannon was stunned, asking in a somewhat puzzled manner, "What is it that''s so


    valuable that it can be used to exchange five people''s lives?"


    I pursed my lips. "There''s a pair of twin boxes out there, and my mother left me one of them before


    she passed away. He wants the box, but I have no idea how valuable that box really is."


    Jordan was no doubt a member of the Fredericks, but I did not know what his status was in the


    Fredericks.


    In the auction back in Salt City, the Fredericks must have auctioned the box to search for the other


    one. It must be really valuable seeing how they were going to such lengths just to find a box.
