Chapter 774 How Long Will It Take For You To Return Home
- He knew that it was a lame excuse. But he did not want to be around them at the moment. Gloria was confused Harold was getting weird these days, contrary to the composure he usually behaved. “Go ahead,” said Gloria absent-minded, her eyes falling on the jars of herbs in front of her. But Jordy understood why Harold did this. He pulled a long face and aired no opinion. After Harold left, the two did not talk. Except for the rustles of the tiny burning fire, there was no other sound. “How about you go home with Misty Lucid Ganoderma without me,” Jordy’s voice was deep and hoarse, probably due to the long time silence. While he spoke, he turned to look at Gloria with a sense of worry and tenderness in his eyes. He said so out of concern for her safety. At this critical moment, if she went home and left him behind on this foreign land, would Heather seek revenge on him because he had spoiled his plans several times? She knew that Jordy had never taken these into consideration. But she could not leave him here alone to face them. Gloria turned him down on the spot, “We came together. Now we’re on the same team. And the poison in your body has not been completely eradicated. What if your condition worsens in my absence?” After a moment of silence, Jordy answered, “You can save me some medicine here. I’ll be back when the auction is over.” He had the stamina and the willpower to hold on till then. But her conscience… would not allow her to do so. “Jordy Collins, when Heather pointed a gun at you and said she wanted to take me away, you didn’t flinch. Now, I can’t leave without you!” Gloria pressed her lips and spoke determinedly. Jordy’s eyes flickered and his brow frowned silently. He knew she could not be persuaded out of the decision she’d made. Gloria knew how reckless Heather could be, as the crown prince who possessed great wealth and power in the country. Should he be given the chance, he’d kill Jordy. It would have been different if she stayed with Jordy At least she had what Heather desired, and Heather wouldn’t kill her.
- But then again, she was after all a commoner. What could possibly be the thing the prince came after? Did it have something to do with her parents?” lang W Return Home I Gloria narrowed her eyes slightly and pondered, maybe, it did have something to do with her mother Jordy did not interrupt Glona when she was thinking But in his heart a resolve was strengthened, which was when the real dangers came, he would die to protect hert The realization brought a jolt to Jordy’s stomach Why could he be like Gloria’s voice broke in on his though “Watch the fire We would talk about it another time For Gloria, the most important thing right now was to take care of these problems “Yup,” was the only answer Jordy gave His eyes glistened Yet again the ring of the phone broke the silence Gloria raised her eyebrows before putting it through What’s the matter, my Nydia?” Jordy frowned unconsciously, displeased with the way she addressed her Nydia had no idea Jordy was there too. She asked. Tve heard of it from George When will you return home?” Swear Loyalty Gloria thought for a moment and answered with his lips pursed, “In two days if things go well.” A party would be held at the casino a day later. It had been postponed once and should not be delayed again. As long as the party went smoothly and Heather didn’t make trouble during the time, she and Jordy could go home. Nydia rolled her eyes and complained, “What the hell? Two more days? What a horrible trip it is.” Nydia would have doubt Jordy’s real purpose if not for the shitty things that happened! Gloria was as frustrated as Nydia was, “We have no choice. I will fill you in on the details when I get back.” She did forget the favor George asked for. “Okay, I have something else to discuss with you when you return. It’s getting late. Grab some rest.” “Sure.” Gloria answered and hung up. Jordy didn’t like to repeat himself, but after listening to the conversation between Gloria and Nydia, he repeated what he just said to Gloria. “Gloria, if you go now, at least one of us could get away.” If they both stayed, neither would be spared. Gloria chuckled, “You think I’d be afraid of that?”
- Jordy was silenced by her answer. He noticed the fearlessness of Gloria, but for some reason, he felt deeply depressed. He felt bad. He added, “It can’t be you who get hurt.” His determination bring a jolt to Gloria’s heart. She raised her eyes to look at the serious, solemn and earnest expression on his face. Gloria’s eyelashes trembled slightly, but a moment later, she recovered her composure and said, “I’ve promised you, and I’ve promised grandma. You can rest assured that I won’t let any harm come to me.” She was the doctor, the one who knew how to use Misty Lucid Ganoderma to cure grandma and help Jordy clear away the remaining poison in his body. So she could not be the one getting hurt. Jordy saw through her mind. “Ahem!” “Ugh!” When Jordy was just about to say something, the smell of blood quickly spread in the air following their coughing. Gloria frowned and picked up her pace to walk inside. Zack’s worried voice resounded in the room, “Miss White, come and see him. Why is he vomiting black blood!” He was holding one of his men, looking extremely restless and worried. Gloria came up to him to feel his pulse. “You should know the Heart Piercing Poison would be ravaging internal organs once it kicks in. Yet, you take another sort of poisonous herbs, trying to combat poison with poison. It was stupid. Luckily, you come to me today. Otherwise, you would be dead by next month.” his The man held by Zack looked to Gloria eagerly and asked, “Miss White, can you save me?” The other three also walked up to Gloria and knelt before her out of fear of death. “Miss White, we don’t wanna die. Please save us.” “Miss White, as long as you could help us clear away the remaining poison in our body, you and Mr. Collins would have our eternal loyalty!”
