Chapter 630
He sighed and looked around, "I never thought I would end up in this situation."
"Cody, you''re definitely innocent. You''ll be released soon... but unfortunately, the rest of us..." Dominick
trailed off with a defeated look. "We really did break thew."
"Let''s not talk about that now. Everyone should get some rest," Cody spoke again, feeling tired from
taking his medication andcking energy to chat with them.
"Okay, let''s call it a night."
"Get some rest as soon as possible."
Suddenly, a guard''s voice came from outside the door, "Cody! Someone is here to visit you!"
Cody was just about to lie down when he suddenly froze. Was it Braydening to see him?
But he knew that he hadn''t been sentenced yet and visits weren''t allowed... so who could it be?
He struggled out of bed and put on his shoes.
As he walked towards the door unsteadily, the guard opened his cell impatiently and gave him an icy
re. "Hurry up! What are you waiting for?"
Cody wanted to move faster but any sudden movement caused pain in his back where he had been
injured earlier. It was excruciatingly painful especially since he had developed a high fever.
His head felt dizzy and heavy; his whole body felt ufortable.
The guard grabbed him impatiently by the arm and pushed him forward roughly.
He stumbled forward, almost falling down if not for grabbing onto the wall for support. It triggered
another round of his violent coughing.
"Damned unlucky!" the guard couldn''t help cursing under his breath. "You know what should be said
and what should not."
Cody remained expressionless as they continued walking. Every step was torture for him at this point.
But despite everything else going on inside of him right now, all Cody could think about was seeing
whoever came to visit today...
After several minutes of dragging himself along with great effort through sheer willpower alone, they
finally arrived at visiting room where Cody sat across from several young people behind ss walls...
His face betrayed shock when saw who they were: Brayden, his son; Jenna, his goddaughter; Franklin
and Sylvia...
"How did theye here? How is that possible?"
He slowly sat down on the chair and picked up the phone.
When Brayden saw his haggard appearance, his nose suddenly tingled, and he quickly sat down and
picked up the phone. "Dad, Dad..."
"Brayden." Cody spoke slowly. "It''s snowing heavily outside. It''s so cold here. How did you guyse?
Are you cold?"
As soon as he spoke, it was like before - a natural concern for others.
Hearing this made Brayden feel ufortable again. "Dad, I brought some daily necessities for you.
Don''t worry. We''ll definitely get you out of there."
"Silly child." Cody sighed deeply. "I''m fine here; no one is bullying me. Those who are locked up with
me are my former colleagues. Don''t worry about me."
Sylvia had been standing next to Franklin all along; she looked at Cody''s pale face with a strange flush
and couldn''t help but frown slightly.
If she wasn''t mistaken, Cody was sick! He had a fever!
She snatched the phone from Brayden''s hand in a hurry; Brayden was somewhat unhappy about it
because he hadn''t even had time to speak yet when Sylvia sounded anxious, "Cody, are you sick?
Don''t just tell us good news without bad news; if you''re sick, we can bail you out for treatment."
After hearing her words, Brayden was shocked, "Dad! How did you get sick?"
He didn''t doubt what Sylvia said at all.
Franklin also felt very ufortable seeing how haggard and disheveled Cody looked nowpared
to how confident he used to be as mayor.
"Cody," Franklin said as hiswyer now, "if you''re really sick, we can find ways to help treat your illness
first. Your healthes first above everything else right now. I''m yourwyer now, so please wait for
our message."
"It''s just an ordinary cold," replied Cody, coughing and speaking, "The weather here is different from
Larro, so don''t make such a fuss over nothing. Who doesn''t have headaches or fever sometimes?"
Jenna bit her lip tightly, "Godfather, you must take care of yourself well. Master Franklin is an excellent
She had always been emotionally fragile, and seeing someone she usually lived with be like that
made her heart ache, and her eyes gradually welled up with tears.Content bel0ngs to N?vel(D)r/a/ma.Org.
Cody loved Jenna like his own daughter, but now she felt so powerless.
"Time''s up!" Just then, the jailer who had been monitoring Cody at the door shouted loudly, "Get up
quickly!"
Cody held onto the phone with reluctance. "Brayden, you guys have to take care of yourselves!" He
struggled to get up and in that moment, he felt a sudden wave of dizziness.
