Chapter 741: Chapter 741: Code Name Is Ghost
"I don’t know."
Finally, Edie told him honestly.
At this point, Edie’s mind was in a mess. She could not think about this question, rationally.
Indeed, she sympathized with Marina. She also knew how much Marina has been suffering from these years. She also knew Marina did this to protect Stuart and keep him away from a dilemma.
But Edie was an ordinary woman. She was also jealous.
She loved her husband deeply. She didn’t know how to do it.
"I really don’t know how to answer this question. But I am sure about one thing. I would never tell him about Marina. I don’t want to tell him, at least now. I never stole her man. All I want is to protect my man. But...if I really tell Stuart about her, I think...I’d better prepare for the worst. But I haven’t gotten ready to tell him."
"I see. I know why you hesitate—my apology. I am just a little pissed off after losing the game. I don’t mean to say that. I am so sorry."
"You don’t need to be sorry. Because I really need your help. Do you know what happens to Aaron now?" ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom
The man nodded, "He has arrived in A now. But this place is guarded strictly. Besides, both you and Stuart are here. He doesn’t dare to do anything. But Julia was frightened by him. She doesn’t dare to do anything to you, either. At least your safety is guaranteed now."
Hearing this news, Edie took a relief.
She clenched her teeth. After thinking for a while, she decided to tell the man her plan, "I need you to do me a favor."
"As long as I can do."
"Get Marina away from this place. Then find Aaron. Maybe he could help you solve the bomb. You don’t want to risk your life for Julia, do you?"
"Marina? Impossible."
"Why? You couldn’t do this, either?" hearing his answer, Edie got heated.
"I am willing to help you. But she would not be willing to leave this place. She struggled to keep alive because Julia threatened her with her sister. That was why she managed to stand all those pain. If she died, her sister would be killed immediately."
Her sister...
Hicks Days.
"So, does she really forget Stuart?"
"Well..." the man shrugged his shoulder, helplessly, "You should ask her. She never said she knew Stuart, and even Julia destroyed her face completely. Julia used her sister to threaten her to force her to acknowledge that she knew Stuart. But Julia didn’t acknowledge it. I’ve been wondering why all these years. I think it might be because of love. If it is not loved, how could she..."
Then the man suddenly realized he might say too much. He took a glimpse at Edie’s small face. Her face looked paler.
The man immediately shut up and looked towards the ceiling embarrassingly.
That was none of his business. Why was he talking about it?
Edie held her fist tightly and took a deep breath to press the pain at the bottom of her heart. Then she said in a peaceful voice, "That’s all right. You are honest. I am fine. Don’t worry about me."
When she said these words out, she realized her voice was trembling.
She struggled to pretend to be strong. It was so obvious.
The man sighed and said, "I am sorry. I know this is hard for you. My code name in the organization is Ghost. You can call me that."
He told Edie his code name. That meant he has already regarded her as his friend.
"Ghost, I still want you to get Marina away from this place. I can persuade her to leave with you. Hicks is not in Julia’s hands now. We still have a chance."
"But....wherever I go, Julia would know. I am afraid she would detect something wrong before I got Marina away from this place."
"I would distract her."
"What?" hearing Edie’s words, Ghost looked at her astonishingly. He couldn’t believe what he heard.
"She likes Stuart. I can irritate her easily. Then she would be distracted. She would not be able to focus on you."
"But...this is really so dangerous. When she found what happened, she would be so angry. She might even kill you. No, we could not do that."
Ghost kept shaking his head. He didn’t agree with this plan. He was a man. He would never allow a weak woman to cover up for him.
Edie held his hands tightly, "We have no other choice now. We have to do this. If you refuse, we might have to die here."
"But..."
Ghost started hesitating. He was shaken by her words.
Indeed, they had no other choice.
If he refused it, they might really die here.
But...
No one knew how dangerous this was.
"But...it is so dangerous for you."
"If we could not save three of us, at least we should save two. Besides, Stuart is here. I think she would not dare to hurt me."
"Really?" Ghost doubted it.
"Yes. Don’t worry about me. Tell me when you determine the time. I would persuade Marina to go with you."
"Okay. I would come to you when I determine the time. If you manage to get out of this place, I am willing to be your teacher." Ghost padded on Edie’s shoulder and said seriously.
"Don’t forget my name. Ghost. You win me this time because of your luck. I am still smarter than you."
"I know," Edie said in a serious tone.
After Ghost left, the room fell into silence immediately. Though the air conditioner was on, Edie felt strangely cold here.
It was not because of Edie’s kindness that she decided to save Marina. She decided to save Marina because it was a better choice for her.
Besides.
Marina has been suffering from enough pain these years. Edie wanted to end it.
Edie lay back on her bed and closed her eyes. Tears dropped out of her eyes.
She wondered what Stuart was doing now. She wondered whether he was also missing her at the moment.
If he knew Marina was still alive, what would he react? Which one would he choose?"
She sobbed harder and harder.
No one made mistakes. But no one felt happy.
At the moment, inside the single building behind the flat, Stuart was sitting on the sofa. Chains on the wall cuffed him. The chains were long enough for him to move in a certain range.
He could hear the sound of water pouring.
Soon, the door of the bathroom was opened. The steaming mist was popping out of the bathroom, making the whole room warm and ambiguous.
Julia walked out of the house.
She wore little clothes. A purple net sexy nightgown
Her body was still wet. The nightgown against her body highlighted her sexy body shape. All her sexy parts were shown to the man in an ambiguous way. This was more tempting than being naked.
