Crises in Love (Zora and Jaylan) novel Chapter 480

He was chatting with Ronan when I came downstairs, and their gazes shifted to me as I approached. The conversation between them stopped abruptly.

“Allie, did you not sleep at all or is that a new makeup?” Logan still had the energy to joke.

I shot back, annoyed, “Could you sleep when knowing your kid was lost?”

“What’s got you so wound up? We’re on it, aren’t we? Look what it’s done to us!” He pointed to his own face, indicating the bags under his eyes. “We've been burning the midnight oil too.”

True, the fatigue was clearly etched under his eyes.

I offered a wry smile. “Thanks for all you’re doing. I’m like a magnet for trouble, it never ends. Who knows what’s next?”

“Honestly, Allie… Your words have a way of coming true, so zip it and give us a break!” Logan was joking, but his concern was genuine, and I appreciated it.

“Hey... Mind if I crash here for a bit?” Logan asked, his eyes bloodshot from lack of sleep.

I gestured around the room. “Pick a spot, any spot. This place is big enough. But you’ve got to eat something first. I’ll whip up some eggs and warm milk—have a bite before you sleep.”

Before I could head to the kitchen, he stopped me. “Hold up... Just let me sleep on an empty stomach, I’ll wake up sooner. Otherwise, who knows when I’ll wake up? Aren’t you in a hurry to find your son? If you’re not, then I’ll eat and sleep.”

His words left me standing there, feeling helpless. Of course, I was desperate to find my son.

After speaking his mind, Logan headed towards the hallway, calling back to me, “Save the food for when I get up. I’ll only sleep for a short while.”

Watching his weary figure stumble away, my heart ached, but there was nothing I could do. My son was in the hands of a desperado; I needed these guys awake—they were my rock.

I glanced at Ronan, his face etched with exhaustion and deep in thought. I suggested, “Maybe you should get some rest too?”

“Yes, this cosmopolitan city is also a den of iniquity, a prime spot for their dirty money. Only by rooting them out can this place be cleansed from the inside out, and Medsafe Liyah Inc. truly secure,” he explained, removing his hands from my shoulders. “And you’ll be free from these endless troubles.”

“I must be the luckiest person alive to have all this rain down on me,” I said with a weak smile, sarcastically adding, “What kind of mess have I married into?”

“You stumbled into this mess unknowingly. It all started with Jerome. His character and the circles he moved in brought about a significant change in his surroundings, making him a point of entry. And coincidentally, that entry point was his brother’s company, Medsafe Liyah Inc.

Medsafe Liyah Inc. became the logistical support for nurturing these malignant forces. You know, their close ties with hospitals are the foundation for their illicit organ trade.

So, we’re taking back Medsafe Liyah Inc. But without unearthing the mastermind behind it all, it’ll remain just as dangerous, no matter how many times we reclaim it. That’s why I used the cancer drugs as bait,” Ronan revealed the crux of the plan.

Suddenly, a thought struck me. “Does that mean my father…”
