Chapter 624


    Half a monthter…


    rence received a call from City N.


    Although the Conrads could not create any troubles for him anymore, rence was still responsible for


    the Conrad Group. Since it was a bigpany, Nathan would send some important tasks to rence


    every day and other sub-significant tasks piled up in thepany.


    If rence didn’te back, his office would not be able to amodate those documents anymore.


    Moreover, if rence stayed in Riverside for long, those people would take the chance to create some


    problems in City N.


    After ending the call, rence stood on the balcony for a long time. His back looked somehow aloof.


    Ste, who just finished a design, walked to rence and asked in a gentle voice, “Are you going


    back?”


    rence put one of his hands into his pocket, “I have toe back to deal with some matters. It will


    take one month at most.”


    Ste said, “I wille back with you.”


    She and rence went to theboratory to see the baby twice during this period. The baby’s health


    condition had been greatly improved and he didn’t get sick again.


    Archer told them that they were on the preliminary stage of the treatment and it had achieved certain


    effects so far. It was just that it need an observation stage thatsted for three or four months.


    Later, they would figure out a long-term treatment n ording to the baby’s health condition.


    Ste knew deep down that it was another long process and it seemed like it didn’t have an end.


    They could onlye to theboratory asionally and it was meaningless for them to stay here.


    Furthermore, they should do what they were supposed to do rather than wasting time here.


    rence looked towards her, “Do you want to leave?”


    “What can I do even if I don’t want to leave? I can’t decide on this matter.” Ste looked at the river at


    the distance and said ndly, “I can’t help even if I stay here.”


    If he asked her to leave before, Ste would not leave the baby in Riverside alone no matter what


    happened.


    But now the situation was different as Dolores was here.


    And she was sure that Archer and Darnell wouldn’t hurt the baby.


    Staying in theboratory in Riverside where outsiders were not allowed to enter was much safer than


    staying by her side.


    rence said, “Then we will leave tomorrow afternoon. Would you like to go to theboratory to see


    the baby before leaving?”


    Ste gently shook her head, “Don’t bother.”


    The baby would cry sadly whenever they came to see him. Archer told them it would inhibit his


    recovery if he had great fluctuations in emotions.


    Ste asked after a pause “Would you like to see your mom?”


    rence strode into the house with his long legs, “Nope.”


    Ste didn’t say anything and stared dully at the scenery in the distance.


    They had been Riverside for almost a month.


    It seemed like many things had happened during this short period, while at the same time she also felt


    like nothing had happened.


    The ones who colluded with Joanna were members of the James family and Darnell was still


    investigating this. He told them that he would tell them if he had any news.


    Ste didn’t know when this woulde to an end.


    …


    On the next day…


    At 10:30 in the evening, a private aeronended in City N.


    Ste felt a gush of hot air when she got off the ne.


    Comparing to the humid and cool weather in Riverside, the weather in City N was dry and hot.


    Although it was midnight, there was no breeze.

    When they walked out of the airport and prepared to get into the car, Nathan walked over in strides and


    said with a serious expression, “Mr. Conrad…”


    rence said, “Say it.”


    Nathan stammered and stole several nces at Ste. It seemed like he didn’t want to say it in front of


    Ste.


    Ste said, “I will wait for you in the car.”


    rence grasped her arm, “You can listen to everything about me.”


    After finishing the words, he looked towards Nathan and repeated his words coldly, “Say it.”


    A trace of sympathy appeared on Nathan’s face as if he was telling rence – I gave you a chance,


    but you insisted on it.


    He coughed and reported, “When I got off the ne, I found Ms. James in the cabin.”


    rence was lost for words.


    Ste raised her brows when she heard the words and asked, “Is her name ine James?”


    Nathan nodded his head, “Yes.”


    Ste intoned, elongating the word, “Oh.”


    rence looked at Nathan expressionlessly, “Where is she?”


    “Behind us.”


    “Take her here.”


    Two minutester, ine ran towards them with a pink suitcase and waved at rence excitedly when


    she was ten miles away from them.


    rence withdrew his gaze and said in a low voice, “You also see this. She has a problem with her


    brain.”


    Ste said, “I heard it was you who took part in her birthday party first.”


    rence quickly shifted the me, “It was arranged by Nathan.”


    Nathan was rendered speechless.


    What bad luck to have such a boss.


    Right at this moment, ine had stopped in front of them. She said all smiles, “What a coincidence.


    We meet again.”


    rence asked, “How did you board the ne?”


    Apparently, ine didn’t n to tell him about the truth. “Er… Emm… Anyway, I boarded the n.”


    rence didn’t want to talk nonsense with her and said to Nathan, “Send her back.”


    ine said stubbornly and loudly, “No. I won’te back. If you send me back to Riverside, I will jump


    into the river.”


    rence said, “Well, watch her if she wants to jump into the river and then tell Darnell to fish her out.”


    ine was lost for words.


    Seeing that she couldn’t persuade rence, ine looked towards Ste and said aggrievedly,


    “Beauty, I don’t want toe back.”


    Ste was bewildered.


    Why did shee to her?


    ine said, “Archer told me that you’re a good person. I plead with you. I took great effort to escape


    from Riverside and I don’t want toe back.”


    Ste recalled the scene in the ancestral hall that day. ine didn’t want to marry Darnell and her


    father pped her cheek hard and punished her to kneel in front of the memorial tablets.


    But it was the domestic affair of the James family and it was inappropriate for her to intervene in it.


    When thinking of this, Ste looked towards rence.


    rence pressed his thin lips together and looked at ine coldly. ine’s body became a bit stiff.


    Maybe being scared, she confessed her real feelings, stammering, “Although Darnell said that he won’t


    marry me, my father, grand-grandfather and those doyens want me to marry him so much. If I stay in


    Riverside, they may kidnap me to the wedding one day. I heard from my father and grand-grandfather


    today that you would leave Riverside today, so I sneaked into the ne.”


    rence asked, “You don’t want to marry Darnell, so you follow us to City N?”


    “Notpletely because of it. Most importantly, I like you.”


    rence sneered, “Send her back to Riverside.”


    ine hurriedly covered her mouth, “I won’t say it again. I promise, okay?”


    Ste touched her brows, feeling it amusing. This girl was quite cute.


    She pulled open the car door, “Let’s go.”


    ine prepared to get into the car when obtaining Ste’ permission, but rence grasped her


    shoulder, “Go to the car behind.”


    ine realized that rence would not send her back to Riverside when she heard the words and


    nodded her head happily.


    On the way back, rence asked Ste, “Do you want to keep her?”


    Ste said, “Aren’t you nning to keep her?”


    rence replied, “Based on her ability, she wouldn’t have managed to sneak into the ne without


    causing my men’s attention.”
