Chapter 1152


    Returning from the Dead: His Secret Lover chapter 1152


    “Actually, that won’t be necessary because he’s not going to kill me for real. At the end of the day, I’m


    his only son.”


    “What the hell? Are you kidding me? Weren’t you the one who told me you had to run away from your


    father? Was it just a joke?” Sabrina went berserk and shouted.


    She wasn’t the one making a scene for nothing because she had gone to great lengths to procure the


    aid of his brother to ensure he was safe when they weren’t even rted.


    It was merely one of her attempts to return him the favor of saving her when her life was at stake. It


    was a challenge for someone who had never requested others’ aid on someone else’s behalf.


    What if Devin finds out I’m trying to help a man shortly after he’s dead? Is he going to me me for


    being disloyal? Maybe he’s going to deem me unworthy of him!


    As emotions came flooding out, Sabrina couldn’t resist the urge to weep and ended up with a pair of


    welled-up eyes.


    Edmund was well aware he had to make something up to deceive the heartbroken woman. Once he


    snapped out of bewilderment, he exined, “I didn’t lie, but—”


    “What?”


    “If I run away with you, my father’s going to pick on your brother!”


    He brought up something reasonable and stopped her from making a scene. It worked like a charm


    and rendered her speechless.


    She just couldn’t bring herself to expose her brother to uncertainties. In the end, she returned to her


    room and banged the door shut, leaving the men in the living room alone.


    “You know she’s merely trying to do you a favor, don’t you?”


    “I’m well aware of that.”


    Edmund finally returned to his usual self. He nced at Sabrina’s room and served Karl a ss of


    water.


    Out of curiosity, Karl asked, “Are you sure you’re noting with us? Actually, we were at the hospital


    as well, but we thought it wouldn’t be wise to show up since she had rushed to your rescue.”

    No matter how things might turn out, he would never resent them. He asked, “Has she really acquired


    Sebastian’s aid to take me away with her?”


    “Actually, it’s Mr. Hayes’ instructions. He was equally worried when he figured out things had headed


    southst night. On top of that, Benedict did nothing when such a serious incident had urred.


    Therefore, Mr. Hayes thought it wouldn’t be necessary to expose you to unnecessary risk anymore.”


    Karl handed Edmund another miniature device simr to the one in his drawer once he finished his


    orated speech.


    Edmund took over the device and said, “It’s because we’re not halfway through with the n yet. Once


    I infiltrate the ranks, I’m sure he can’t keep me in the dark anymore.”


    “You—” Colors drained from Karl’s face since Edmund had made himself clear he wouldn’t be leaving


    with them.


    Does he seriously think he’s still the almighty major? He’s on his own without anyone with him! Shall


    we talk about the injury he has sustained?


    He almost lost his life because of a skin prick test! There’s no way he’s making it out alive if he


    infiltrates the ranks on his own!


    “No! There’s no way I’m allowing this! Mr. Hayes is of the same idea as well! He’s working on several


    alternatives as we speak! No matter what, we’re not exposing you to unnecessary risk anymore—I’m


    taking you home with me!”


    Karl remarked with his voice quivering and thought of rendering the man opposite him unconscious to


    take him away with him against his will.


    However, a nce from Edmund was all it took to stop Karl from trying anything rash. After all, Karl


    wasn’t a match for Edmund even when Edmund wasn’t in his prime.


    “You don’t have to repeat yourself because I’m well aware of the risk I’m susceptible to! Am I supposed


    to remind you of the sort of things awaiting Mr. Hayes? He warned me not to mingle with those affiliated


    with the White House, but he joined the rank without my consent! What the hell does he think he’s


    doing?”


    Unable to think of anything else to rebuke Edmund, Karl remained standing in silence. Once he thought


    of the things awaiting them, he fell into the vicious cycle of despair.


    He’s right! Mr. Hayes isn’t having it easy as well! As a matter of fact, he’s in an equally nasty situation!


    Unless he could take them on without others’ aid, it’s only a matter of time until they take him out!


    In the end, Karl left since he knew he couldn’t change Edmund’s mind.


    Edmund knocked on the door of Sabrina’s room after standing next to it for a few minutes. He asked,


    “Ms. Sabrina, aren’t you going to leave with the bodyguard of the family?”
