Don't Try to Escape, My Wife! novel Chapter 1498

The chief guard hurriedly said, "There is a declining family surnamed Don in our capital. The head of the family is an honest person and only has one daughter. He now runs a small business. Back then, I heard that his wife was pregnant with twins. Unfortunately, the boy was unborn. However, worrying about his wife being sad, the head of the Don family registered two children for his household and told his wife that their son had been stolen. All these years, he had been wasting money looking for a son that never existed to buy his wife some comfort and hope of getting their son back. I think it would be better to give this identity to Mr. Davon. The Don family will cooperate as long as they are given an explanation."

Zayn was no longer the ignorant boy in the past. His eyes lit up when he heard the chief guard's words, and he asked in a low voice, "What is the relationship between the Don family and you?"

The guard captain was so frightened that he broke out in cold sweat.

"King, I..."

"Tell the truth, or you'll be punished."

Zayn's eyes glowed with coldness. The guard captain could no longer stand in fright. He knelt, trembling, and said, "My King, I am Don's cousin. The Don family hardly survived under King Leo Freeman's rule. I just want to take the opportunity to seek some benefits for my cousins. King, please forgive me."

Zayn knew what to expect after hearing from the guard captain.

"I can promote your relatives, but I'd like to know - why not your uncle's family? Or even your own family?"

A trace of grief flashed across the guard captain's face.

"King, my family is gone. When King Leo Freeman rules the country, he was afraid of the possible excessive power of the chief bodyguard, so he placed our family under house arrest for various reasons. However, our families suffered suspicious deaths. I didn't even meet them before they died. Some said they were sent to the laboratory. Some said they were killed. I was already alone in the world. The Dons are my last relatives."

Zayn felt sad.

"I will investigate into this matter. If what you said is true, I will promote the Don family. I will not mistreat you as long as you are loyal to me."

The chief guard hurriedly said yes.

Zayn quickly went to investigate this matter. Everything was as the chief guard had said, so he sent a message to the Don family. Not long after, Don's head gratefully agreed. Zayn even decided to let the head's daughter marry the son of an Elder. People soon realized that the declining family had had their rebirth.

Xander and Audrey chased Davon to the outskirts of the Dark Forest. Along the way, they saw many broken limbs and bones dripping with blood. That was shocking.

Audrey involuntarily kept swallowing and said, "Xander, do you think Davon is..."

"No!"

Xander was suspiciously worried. But he hurriedly denied his suspect, as if in that way, he could be more confident.

The more forward he walked, the more corpses he saw. Even though he got used to these scenes in the past few days, Xander still felt uncomfortable.

Xander and Audrey found Davon's body in the peripheral forest. The body was damaged and shattered beyond recognition. However, its clothes belonged to Davon.

Xander staggered and almost fell.

"This can't be true!"

He quickly ran over and saw that around the body scattered a lot of blood and syringes and reagents that Davon had taken with him before he left.

Xander tried his best to keep himself calm. He quickly collected the blood and took it back for testing. The test results turned Xander's hair grey overnight as if he had aged ten years all of a sudden.

Davon's blood was unique in the world. It was impossible to fake a report like this.

Audrey felt painful to see him haggard.

"Xander, don't do this."

"What can I explain his death to my brother? How can this happen?"

Xander's eyes were filled with tears.

A grave sadness enveloped them. Nicole and Lucas staggered over.

"Mom! Dad! Where's my husband? Where's my brother? When are they coming back? Has Laurence found him?"

Her question stunned Xander.

Right, Samuel came with Davon.

Davon's entourage was all dead, but Samuel's body wasn't found. Xander forgot about Samuel.

Looking at his daughter's worried face, Xander felt his heart ached in pain.

"I'll send someone out to look for him."

"I'll go too!"

Nicole took the lead but was stopped by Audrey.

"You can't go, considering your health condition. Besides, now Laurence is a time bomb that no one knows when he explodes. It's our mistake not foreseeing the possibility that Laurence can't control himself from going berserk. Nicole, listen to your mother. Don't go out."

"But both my husband and my brother are out there. How can I stay here and wait?"

Nicole's eyes were filled with tears.

Xander was batting back tears. He said, "Davon left us."

"What do you mean...'left us'?"

Nicole stared at Xander. But Xander was even unable to look straight back at her surprised gaze.

"He's dead."

"Dad! Don't joke around."

Nicole whispered, which made Xander feel even more painful in his heart.
