The man’s eyes were filled with icy shards, and his chilling aura was intimidating.
“Bang!”
Taking advantage of Brendon’s obstruction, the tall and thin man quickly ran away! Brendon chased after him, running as fast as he could.
But he still couldn’t catch up.
Brendon saw the elevator continuously descending and quickly took another elevator to chase after it. When he reached the ground floor, there was no trace of the man anywhere.
Brendon squinted his eyes, irritably tugging at the collar of his neck. Although he didn’t catch the person, it awakened Brendon’s hunting instinct. His gaze focused on the dark night outside, emitting a dangerous and arrogant light.
“Caleb! Come to Seacoast Hotel. I have something to discuss with you.” Caleb was his assistant, always on standby twenty-four hours a day, so he arrived quickly.
After giving instructions to Caleb, Brendon went back to find Ranita.
Ranita had been waiting for Brendon for a long time, couldn’t resist and opened the door, only to see more disgusting animal corpses in the corridor…
There seemed to be a nauseating smell in the air.
Ranita couldn’t help but feel nauseous, her stomach burning with discomfort.
“Ranita…”
“You’re back?” Ranita supported herself on the sink, feeling a bit pale due to the nausea. “Come over and help me.”
The woman’s complexion was somewhat white.
“What’s wrong? Where do you feel uncomfortable?” Brendon’s voice was filled with tension as he reached out to support her. “Sit down first.”
Ranita took his hand, his palm was wide, giving her a comforting sense of safety and warmth. It was as if he injected a warm current into her heart, making her feel a little better.
“Brendon, can I hug you?”
Ranita had never been fragile, but now she wanted some comfort.
Regardless of whether Brendon agreed or not, Ranita hugged him with both hands and buried her head in his chest.
In an instant, a fresh scent of grapefruit enveloped her, like a cold mist dispelling all the unpleasant images and smells, making Ranita’s heart become incredibly calm.
“It’s okay.” Brendon noticed her trembling shoulders and gently patted her back to comfort her. “Did you see something when you went out?”
“Yes!” Ranita sniffled. “Who would want to disgust me like this?”
“I’ve asked Caleb to handle it. Trust me, I will quickly find the person!” Seeing that she was still scared, Brendon considered and suggested, “How about we go to the apartment now? I’ll have someone send the things over tomorrow morning.”
Ranita looked up at Brendon. “Now?”
“I just chased after him, but he escaped. I’m worried he might come back to harass you.”
Brendon added, “Can you sleep here peacefully?”
Ranita hesitated for a moment but eventually nodded.
“You hold Ayaan, and I’ll gather our belongings.” Ranita was frightened, and she definitely wouldn’t be able to sleep here tonight. She was afraid of being harassed again and seeing those disgusting images, which could leave a psychological impact on her.
Ranita changed into simple clothes, took some essential items, and left the door with Brendon.
Ayaan was still sleeping in her arms.
He woke up for a moment, asked a couple of confused questions, and then fell back asleep, carefree and peaceful, making Ranita extremely envious.
On the way, Ranita couldn’t calm her mind.
Before long, they arrived at the apartment. It was clean inside, almost unchanged from when she left four years ago, even the slippers were still the same.
“I’ll take Ayaan to rest first.” Brendon carried Ayaan to a small room, then turned around and hugged her.
