Chapter 1006


    Another person who had a sleepless night was Devin.


    This is property ? of N?velDrama.Org.


    After sending Kira to the hospital, her condition stabilized quickly. He sat in her ward and finally took


    out his phone again.


    Devin didn’t even know what he was doing.


    Yet, when he focused on his phone screen again, he realized it was showing someone’s social media


    profile.


    What has gotten into me?


    Furious, he was about to exit the page but the top post on her ount appeared in sight.


    I finally get to eat my favorite sea bass today! It’s delicious! The post was apanied by a photo of


    cooked sea bass.


    Sea bass? Her favorite dish is sea bass?


    His brows furrowed together. Before he could put down his phone, he spotted a man’s reflection on the


    ss te that the sea bass was served on.


    It was a man wearing sses!


    Crack!


    His fists balled up.


    “Devin…” Right then, Kira regained consciousness after her temperature receded.


    Devin said nothing as he stared at the post. Before he realized it, his fingers glided over the screen


    deftly.


    Devin: What have you done? That smuggler has returned to Adonia to the Sheerwood family. Has my


    order fallen on deaf ears?


    Member A: Sorry, Major. We’re on it right now.


    Member B: Got it, Major. On it now!


    Member C: We shall reflect on our mistake and carry out your order ASAP!


    The squad members promptly offered their apologies and promised to get to the bottom of this as soon


    as possible.


    Did I just send that post to the special forces toon group chat?


    The man stared at his phone and zoned out briefly.


    “Devin?” Kira coughed and struggled to sit up since he had ignored her.


    The moment she sat up, it felt like the whole world was spinning. She promptly copsed back to the


    bed. “Devin.”


    Finally, Devin heard her voice.


    “You’re awake? How do you feel? Are you feeling better?” he asked, pocketing his phone. As she


    made to sit up, he went to her and helped her up.


    It was normal for him to offer his help, for she was his cousin and a patient now.


    However, Kira beamed happily at his action, her every pore oozing delight.


    “I feel better now. I’m sorry, Devin.”


    After sitting up, she hung her head low sadly at the thought of troubling Devin.


    Devin got her a ss of water.


    He only saw her as a cousin sister and nothing more. It was obvious by how he defended her in front of


    his mother.


    Thus, he didn’t notice her current expression.


    Devin pulled a chair to her bed and sat down. “There’s no need to apologize. You didn’t do it on


    purpose, anyway. I have a question, though. How did Shanae find out we’re after the smugglers and


    left you in their hands?” he questioned.


    At once, a trace of anxiety appeared on Kira’s face, but it disappeared swiftly.


    It would be impossible to notice that if one didn’t pay enough attention to her.


    “I-I have no idea. After forcing me to drug you back in Coldbridge, she then kicked me out,” Kira


    revealed in a shaking voice.


    “She kicked you out?”


    “Yes. Back then, the White House was in chaos, and Alfred was crushed by your cousin. As a result, I


    lost my backing. After what happened at Coldbridge, I left your ce and got captured by her men,”


    Kira exined, tears pooling in her eyes.


    Devin’s expression turned grim.


    Indeed, when he checked the surveince cameras, it was her who had drugged him.


    He was so furious back there that he swore to skin her alive!


    However, his grandfather, Jonathan, then showed up. Utterly disappointed, he prepared to resign and


    leave the Jadeson family. As a result, he ended up forgetting about the matter.


    Now that he thought about it, it seemed that he didn’t see her in Jadeborough.


    So it turns out Shanae kicked her out that very night?


    Devin found it hard to believe that a pretty face in the Woods family was capable of doing that.


    Who are the forces backing her up?


    “Tell me. Where did they bring you after capturing you?”


    “I don’t know, Devin. They kept me in a van after abducting me. One day, when they brought me out for


    a breather, I heard them mention your name. I was so excited and revealed that you’re my cousin. I’m


    really sorry about that, Devin.”


    Finally, the reason Kira was brought to Devin was uncovered.


    She btedly realized that her cowardice action had ruined Devin’s n and hung her head low as


    tears streamed down her cheeks.


    Silence ensued.
