Chapter 272


    “Once my Mom is cured, we’ll hash out


    our past and present grievances together!” Dakota said in a sharp tone, her eyes ferocious.


    “Knock yourself out.” Dustin shrugged nonchntly.


    “You” Dakota choked out. She was grashing her teeth so hard that the grinding was audible, but she c


    ouldn’t do anything anyway.


    While they were both in a stand–


    cft, a sudden uproar broke out near the hospital entrance. They raised their heads to find a fully armed


    motorcade bulldozing their way over.


    The motorcade was from the military, and it was a huge spectacle. All the guards sitting on top were ar


    med and radiating murderous energy. Everywhere they passed, people and cars parted to make way fo


    r them.


    “That’s strange. What is the military doing? Could they be here to arrest some ouw?” Dahlia looked a


    round in confusion.


    Dakota also locked perplexed.


    At that moment, themander ordered, “Hurry, surround them now!”


    The guards got down from the motorcade and instantly encircled Dustin and the two women. Seeing th


    e muzzle of the guns lined up next to each other gave them chills.

    “Huh?” Dahlia was startled, and her face paled. She had been ready to watch the show. Never in a milli


    on. years did she expect that these guards would be encircling them instead.


    “Don’t panic. This has nothing to do with you. They’re here for me.” Dustin swept his gaze over the gua


    rds. He already had a n in mind.


    “They’re here to arrest you? Why?” Dahlia asked, bbergasted.


    She couldn’t understand what kind of crime the man in front of her hadmitted that could incite the


    military’s arrival.


    “It’s just a trivial matter. It’s nothing.” Dustin smiled mildly.


    “A trivial matter?” Dahlia frowned.


    The military was here for him, and he still called it a trivial matter?


    “Dustin, youmitted the heinous crime of murder in broad daylight! We have been ordered to arrest


    you and


    bring you to justice! If you resist, you will be killed!” themander said with a cool face..


    The murderous vibe he was exuding scared the wits out of Dahlia. “Commander, is there some kind of


    misunderstanding?” she asked tentatively.


    “Unrted persons are to make way at once! Otherwise, you will be charged with the same crimes!” th


    emander said mercilessly.


    “Don’t worry, I’ll be fine. You should go home first.” Dustin ced a hand on Dahlia’s shoulder and smil


    ed


    gently.


    “I —” Dahlia said hesitantly.


    How could this huge spectacle be nothing?


    But she couldn’t help in any way right now.


    “Rhys, I bet you never thought this day woulde!” At that moment, Dakota suddenlyughed, taking


    pleasure in his misfortune. “You must havemitted a huge crime to have sparked the military into co


    ming here. Now, I’ll give you another chance. If you cure my mother’s illness and then apologize to me


    , I’ll agree to


    save you.”
