Falling in Love With A One-Night Stand

Chapter 491 tet For Tat

“I’m sorry. What did you say?” Ethan asked, frowning.

Ryan became enraged and grabbed him by the collar, yelling, “Don’t play dumb! You put the bug in Julia’s bag yesterday, didn’t you? You followed her and stole my flash drive. | knew it was you! You gave Ada that empty flash drive, didn’t you? | bet that you didn’t get anything from her as the flash drive has nothing in it!” as he thought of what had happened last night, Ethan was furious. He clenched his fist and asked, “You fooled me?!”

Ryan gave him a cold look and said, “Don’t think you’re a professional spy just because you studied detection in college for a few years. | don’t care if you work part-time, but how dare you do something so indecent and horrific?! You ruined our Military Academy’s reputation!”

Ethan was not surprised that Ryan recognized him, but he appeared irritated at being accused. He screamed, “I didn’t mean to hurt anyone! I’ve never heard of that Ada you mentioned. I’ve taken these missions from others and only communicated with the middleman. All | have to do this time is to eavesdrop and get some information. Is that going to hurt anyone?”

“Middleman?” Ryan asked skeptically, but he almost believed Ethan’s words. He appeared to be interested in this middleman.

“I’m being completely honest with you. That’s enough! | admit defeat to you! I’m not going to take any more nonsense assignments from him. Stop bothering me! Goodbye!*’ Ethan opened the car door and was about to leave after saying that. Then Ryan slapped him on the back and stopped him. 490 tet For Tat

“What the hell do you want to do?!” screamed Ethan angrily.

“You’re cute, so we’re not letting you go,” Ryan joked, lifting one finger and hooking Ethan’s chin.

Ethan had been molested by men before, but this was the first time he had been treated like this as a man. He was so taken aback that he covered his chest with his hand and asked, “Damn! What do you want from me?”

At the same time, the four men in the car approached Ethan. He was Wearing a sexy party dress and had delicate makeup on his face, which made him appear very attractive.

As they looked at Ethan, the four men smiled as if they wanted to do something to him. Ethan was so terrified and desperate that he patted the car door heavily.

Ryan did this just to frighten him. Then, he became more serious and pulled out a folder, saying, “We are currently working on a critical case related to the mission you were on yesterday. We want you to work with us and help us catch the suspect.”

“Sure! But you must pay me.” Ethan’s eyes glowed, and he extended four fingers and replied.

“We’re not going to pay you,” Ryan said as he punched Ethan on the shoulder.

Instantly, Ethan’s eyes widened with surprise, and he exclaimed, “I don’t work for free, dude. You’d better find someone else to do this favor for you.”

Ryan didn’t seem to care and just raised an eyebrow slightly. He pointed to the file he had just held out and said, “Ethan Murray, a junior in the Detective Department at Birmingham Military Academy. | also graduated from that school and am familiar with its policies. Students who 490 tet For Tat engage in illegal part-time work may be expelled. | heard you’re trying to.get into a master’s program, so if the school is aware of thi

“I’m in!” Ethan covered his mouth before Ryan could finish his sentence.

“Ill tell you exactly what you should do later,” Ryan said, smiling and patting his shoulder.

After that, Ryan leaned over and took the phone from Ethan’s bag. He yanked Ethan’s hand and unlocked the lock screen with his index finger. Ryan then dialed his own phone number.

Frowning in annoyance, Ethan snatched his phone away from him and stormed out of the car. He was about to shut the car door when he heard Ryan say again, “If we can work it out, I’ll give you the opportunity to get a master’s degree at our school.”

Hearing that, Ethan immediately burst out laughing. He blew Ryan a kiss and said softly in a coquettish voice, “Don’t worry, handsome. Leave this to me”

“Can we rely on this guy?” Someone asked Ryan when Ethan shut the door. Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

“Maybe; maybe not,” Ryan answered.

When Joanna returned to the hospital last night, she started to have a fever. Her attending doctor blamed both her and Irene the next morning.

“Iwas the one who wanted to go out. It had nothing to do with Irene,” Joanna said to the doctor with a smile.

The doctor said nothing except that they couldn’t have the surgery until she felt better. 490 tet For Tat

Then Joanna shook her head, smiled, and said to the doctor, “It means I’ll be able to stay here for alittle longer. That’s not necessarily a bad thing, is it?*’

“You’re in a hospital, not a hotel,” the doctor said with a frown.

After chatting with her for a while, the doctor left. Irene arrived a little later with an instrument to take Joanna’s temperature. She’d just handed Johanna the thermometer when she couldn’t help but glare at her and say, “Why didn’t you listen when | told you not to go out? We’ll have to wait a While to operate on you.”

“Actually, | haven’t thought about whether | will have the surgery or not,” she admitted after some thought.

Irene’s eyes widened as she asked, “Are you serious?! Given your condition, how long do you think you can hold out? Stop changing your mind! Please!”

Irene was worried and upset for Johanna, as she knew she was saying this because Bill’s death had hit her so hard. “Bill would have wanted you to live well, too,” Irene added gently.

“Thank you, | got it,” Joanna said with a smile and a nod.

“Really? Take your medicine, then.” Irene handed Joanna the medicine and poured her another cup of warm water. After Joanna had finished her medication, Irene added, “You have nearly $100,000 , which is more than enough money to pay for the surgery! You can hire a caregiver after the surgery to help you recover faster. Once you leave the hospital, you can do whatever you want.”

“Yeah.” Joanna sipped her water and nodded.

Irene realized Johanna wasn’t paying attention to her, so she said seriously, “Johanna, don’t even think about giving up! You must survive. You can work at my parents’ supermarket if you can’t find a job. Don’t 490 tet For Tat worry about it.”

“Thank you very much.” Joanna forced another smile, but she appeared frail.

As she retrieved the thermometer, Irene frowned, saying, “You still have a fever. I’ll bring you every meal to your ward for the next few days.”

Saying that, she gathered the items in the tray and turned to leave when she noticed a strange man at the door. “Hello?” Irene asked cautiously.

The man did not appear friendly and he directly ignored Irene. When he walked into the ward, he looked at Johanna lying on the bed. “I’m looking for her,” he said.

Joanna frowned as she looked up at the man. She paused, realizing she had never seen this man before.

“Do you want to see Joanna? She’s been here for six months, so how come I’ve never seen you before?” Irene asked, shaking her head.

The man turned to face Irene and said, “It’s none of your business. | have something to say to her.”

Irene was enraged by his attitude. She slammed the iron tray onto the shelf, crossed her arms, and said, “She has a fever and needs a good rest now. What do you want to tell her?”

The man, however, did not appear to take her words seriously. He pushed Irene out of the way, walked past her, and went to Johanna. Then he said to Joanna, “I’m not looking for you, but I’m just here to tell you about it. Someone else is interested in seeing you.”

Wide-eyed, Joanna felt foreboding and asked, “Who wants to see me?” 490 tet For Tat

“She just told me to tell you that she’s paying for all your surgeries.”

Joanna clenched her fists tightly beneath the sheets. She remained silent for a few moments before asking firmly, “Where is she?”

“You just have to go with me. I’ll ead the way,” The man responded.

Curious about who she was going to meet, Joanna jumped out of bed as soon as possible and put on the sweater she had worn the day before. She didn’t say anything, but her actions spoke volumes.

In a hurry, Irene snatched Johanna’s coat from her grasp and tossed it onto the bed. She said, “Don’t leave! You still have a fever! The doctor just told you that you can’t go out anymore.”

“Please don’t stop me, Irene. | must see this person.” Joanna was firm as if she couldn’t be easily persuaded. She bent down, picked up the trench coat on the bed, and put it on as she spoke. “Let’s go,” she said as she picked up her bag and looked up at the man beside her.

Before realizing she couldn’t stop Johanna, Irene reached into the closet for a scarfs. She wrapped the scarf around Joanna’s neck, completely covering her. With a relieved sigh, Irene patted Johanna on the shoulder and said, “I’ll wait for you.”

Johanna blinked, then nodded. She then left the hospital, following the man’s lead. After they got into the car, the man started the car and moved quickly toward the meeting place. In the passenger seat, Johanna gazed out the car window at the scenery that receded backwards. And she recalled something that happened in the past.
