HappyNovelChapter 756:
Meanwhile, Freya hesitated, her finger hovering over her phone. Gerard's message had caught her off guard. Just
as she was about to reply, another message popped up, diverting her thoughts.
“By the way, Mr. Shaw mentioned he left something at Dr. Hayes’ place and asked if | could take him there. Can
you tellhis address?” Without missing a beat, Freya texted back the directions.
She considered asking Kristian to postpone the visit until tomorrow, after her workday ended, but a sudden
realization struck her. This could be a golden opportunity for Gerard and Kristian to reconnect. Maybe it would
spark a memory or two. After all, Gerard had once been an integral part of Kristian’s life.
After securing the address, Kristian ordered Gerard to drive him to Lawrence's facility. For Freya's sake, he had to
uncover how the injury had happened.
As they departed, a storm of anxiety brewed within Gerard. He was teetering on the edge, torn between
confession and silence.
Revealing the truth to Freya was risky; Kristian’s unpredictable nature could lead to unforeseen consequences.
Yet, remaining silent felt like a betrayal, especially given Kristian’s fragile mental state.
Desperation clawed at his insides. What was he supposed to do? He needed a way out.
Kristian’s voice was sharp, laced with impatience as he observed Gerard's sluggish pace. “What's taking you so
long?” he demanded, his eyes narrowing.

“Nothing,” Gerard replied, his voice barely above a whisper, resignation tinging his words.
A fleeting thought crossed his mind—maybe he could leave a clue behind for Freya to stumble upon when she
eventually dropped by.
But reality quickly sank in. Anything of real value Kristian might want had already been swept away by Freya.
Chances were, she wouldn’t even bother setting foot in this apartment again.

Besides, unless he left something blindingly obvious, it would slip right past her. This wasn’t smystery
where every speck of dust held a clue—normal people didn’t catch on to tiny, hidden details.
Still caught up in his swirling thoughts, Gerard's eyes accidentally flicked toward the corner—and there, tucked
near the ceiling, was a security camera blinking silently.
A flicker of desperate hope ignited in his chest. Thinking quickly, he casually turned his back to the camera and,
with a subtle flick of his fingers, formed an “X” shape behind him, silently praying the lens would catch the
message.
“What on earth are you doing?” Kristian’s voice sliced through the silence, suspicion threading his tone as he
caught Gerard's slight movements.
With a calm demeanor, Gerard adjusted his glasses and turned to face Kristian, masking any hint of his internal
panic. “Nothing. Let’s go,” he said smoothly, hoping his composure would dispel Kristian’s doubts.
Kristian studied him for a moment, his expression unreadable.

camera, and a knowing smirk cyfled
