CHAPTER 28: CHAPTER 28: SHE ALSO HAS TO GO TO BRESLIN

She whispered to herself, wishing for a safe landing, and then withdrew her gaze.

From time to time, she glanced outside at Uncle Ford, who was constantly surveilling her.

Elias Warner flew to Breslin this time, and coincidentally, she was also going to Breslin to accompany Luna for surgery.

The thought that they might reunite in a foreign land, and that Luna might be exposed to Elias Warner, made Annelise Winter extremely uneasy.

Moreover, Uncle Ford was Elias Warner’s man, yet he was now by her side. If Mrs. Warner, who’s concerned about her son, saw this, what would happen?

However, Annelise quickly lost the mood to think about these things.

Luna was going to have such a major surgery, and if she wasn’t there, how disappointed would Luna be?

Thus, this trip to Breslin was imperative for her.

But Uncle Ford would certainly follow her around the clock, with the possibility of taking her to see the sponsor at any moment.

How could she avoid his surveillance, sell the suit on the luxury goods second-hand trading platform, and get on the flight to Breslin?

Her trip to Breslin must absolutely not be known to Uncle Ford!

Because if he knew, Elias Warner would know as well.

She feared everyone knowing about Luna’s existence.

In the duty room, Annelise felt as if she were sitting on pins and needles. Under the symbol of purity, the white coat, she had already subconsciously started to tap her foot.

She booked the flight for tomorrow afternoon.

No room for errors, not a single mishap could occur, so as soon as she clocked out tomorrow morning, she must find a way to shake off Uncle Ford!

...

The flight from Kybourne to Breslin would take about a dozen hours.

According to regulations, the captain would pilot the aircraft for the first four hours after takeoff.

Once flying conditions were stable, the captain could take a short rest, and other crew members would take over flight duties until the next flight plan node arrived.

Four hours later, Elias Warner headed towards his private captain’s resting room.

There’s a distance between the operation cab and his resting room, requiring a trip upstairs and passing through the plane’s first-class cabin.

This was meticulously designed, with the aim of allowing the captain to take an incidental glance at the passenger situation in the cabin before resting, so as to promptly identify and correct any oversights.

Four hours of flying was nothing for him; previous flight training was far tougher and more grueling.

His deep-set eyes scanned the surroundings, but his steps halted unexpectedly.

Right there, in front of him in first class, Chase Perry and June Winter were seated side by side.

Chase Perry, who was still indescribably attached to Annelise earlier this afternoon, let June Winter cling to his arm, with her almost sticking completely to him.

Elias Warner’s gaze grew increasingly cold and severe.

Seeing him appear, Chase Perry reflexively pushed June Winter away, unbuckled his seatbelt with a swift motion, suppressed the unease in his heart, and stood up, "Bro... I’m on my honeymoon, coincidentally flying to Breslin too."

For some reason, seeing Elias Warner’s expression so dire made him inexplicably nervous.

Chase Perry wiped away cold sweat as he stood up, prepared to go to the restroom, but to go to the restroom meant he’d have to brush past Elias Warner.

Unfortunately, Elias Warner was blocking the position by the exit, immovable.

That downward-looking gaze made Chase Perry’s heart beat wildly.

He could only brace himself.

"Bro."

Elias Warner gazed down at him, his eyes especially cold, those eyes fixed rigidly on him as though wishing next moment to kill him!

Chase Perry let out a long breath.

"Big bro, is something wrong? Are you in a bad mood?"

Elias Warner tightened the fist hidden in his sleeve, clutching a Peace Lock in his palm, looking down on him with an impassive face!

Chase Perry felt his scalp tingling.

No one would believe nothing’s wrong with that gaze!

In fact, Elias Warner didn’t intend to speak to Chase Perry at all.

It was merely pride deeply ingrained in his bones that kept him outwardly composed.

At this very moment, he just really wanted to beat Chase Perry up!

But he was the captain, this was his work battlefield, Chase Perry wasn’t worth sullying his faith!

So, he held back.

Chase Perry looked up uncontrollably at the ceiling, deeply inhaled, "Bro, just say whatever you want to say!"

No matter how harsh, he could bear it.

Elias Warner no longer wanted to look at him even momentarily, turning away as if looking at a stranger, heading upstairs.

Seeing this, Chase Perry felt a twinge at the nose, gritted his teeth, decided to risk it all, "Bro, if you won’t speak, I have something to say."

With derisive pursed lips, Elias Warner glanced back coldly at Chase Perry, "You have something to say?"

"Big brother, could you..."

Forgive Annelise.

These words had been stifled in his heart for five years; thus, finally getting a chance, he must voice it to Elias Warner.

As for himself... indeed, he had coveted his brother’s girlfriend.

Even if he and Annelise were just performing a role together, that kind of vile sentiment... was simply unforgivable!

But precisely how difficult Annelise’s life had been these past five years, he knew better than anyone.

Countless times, he caught the shadow of longing in Annelise’s eyes.

She couldn’t help looking at him with tears, evidently as though looking at him, but actually looking through him at someone else.

He also knew his brother’s past five years were no better than Annelise’s, several near-death experiences...

Wherever the danger was, that’s where he went!

Elias Warner’s gaze momentarily paused, then sharpened like a blade.

"Chase Perry, I advise you to think carefully before speaking."

Chase Perry steadfastly confronted Elias Warner, clenched his teeth, "I meant nothing else, bro. Don’t misunderstand my relationship with Annelise; we’re not connected anymore! I just wanted to help Annelise because she fell ill."

Elias Warner merely gave him an indifferent glance, "Your romantic relations with anyone have nothing to do with me!"

Chase Perry clinged stubbornly, "So is Annelise doing better?"

"Are you referring to that flight medic lady! I wouldn’t know!"

"Didn’t I already shove her into your arms?"

"Chase Perry, don’t think that since the account from five years ago hasn’t been settled with you, it can just be written off!"

"I didn’t think that way, bro, I just..."

Before he could finish speaking, Elias Warner, gazing down on him, had eyes filled with cold mockery, "Who do you think you are? Do you fit to arrange things for me?"

Without providing Chase Perry another chance to entangle, Elias Warner left and went to the captain’s resting room.

Leaving Chase Perry alone, filled with dysfunctional guilt to the point of wanting to die!

...

Domestic time wise, it was nine o’clock the following morning.

Under Annelise’s anticipation, the time to clock out had finally arrived, having already done the handover early with the incoming staff.

As soon as the clock’s hand reached precisely nine o’clock, she immediately rushed into the locker room to change clothes.

When she left the duty room, Uncle Ford was already waiting at the doorway for her.

Faced with Annelise, Uncle Ford bowed slightly, making an inviting gesture, but his words held no politeness.

"Miss Annelise, the car is already waiting for you outside. You’re going to earn money at the sponsor’s, I can give you a ride."

This attitude was clear; Uncle Ford would continue following her, until she’d returned the money she owed Elias Warner.

Annelise couldn’t help but clutch her bag tightly.

"Uncle Ford, do you have to follow me like this? I’ve already said I’ll definitely pay back Elias Warner, but I need time."

She took a deep breath, wanting to try reasoning with Uncle Ford to see if it might work.

"If you want to continue delaying, I’ll have to draft a legal letter right now!"
