"What, that woman asked you to save her husband?"
After the room fell silent, the first to speak was Mario Jensen. Jaysen Smith just stood quietly by, his eyebrows furrowing and his facial lines tensing when his gaze met Michael Gordon's serious face.
The phone call was made in front of everyone. Based on the four words "life hanging by a thread," anyone with keen ears could understand its meaning. The three women naturally chose to remain silent on this heavy topic, even Madeline, who usually talks a lot, instinctively chose to close her mouth.
Michael Gordon's face remained solemn, and he said nothing for a while. His fingers tapped occasionally on the screen of his phone as the coldness between his brows grew more intense. After a while, he spoke decisively, "Jaysen, come back with me. Fabian, you stay here and take care of the three women. Any problems with that?!"
Jaysen Smith nodded in agreement.
