My Substitute CEO Bride (Nash Calicraft) novel Chapter 2427

Chevy walked ahead, leaving Anox behind, who was still standing there in a daze.

"Anox?!" Kalo called out again.

Anox finally snapped out of it. He lifted his head and saw the others waiting for him on the other side. He was about to take a step forward when the red light came on again.

'This is fine,' Anox thought as he watched the four from afar, with Kalo standing beside Teresa.

He would just let things stay this way.

...

Chevy sighed, and the other three looked at him.

"What's wrong?"

Kalo pointed at Chevy and laughed. "Haha, see? You lost and still aren't over it!"

"Kalo, you…"

"Wait—" Teresa, who had been quiet, suddenly pointed outside the window. "Look."

The three turned to see Enid peeking around a corner, watching them secretly. When she realized she had been spotted, Enid panicked and hurriedly turned to run away.

"Let's go after her!" Chevy shouted.

Hence, Chevy, Teresa, and Kalo rushed out the door.

"Hey! You haven't—" Anox started to say, but the three were already out of the restaurant. With no other choice, Anox paid the bill and packed an extra meal for Thresmund.

Meanwhile, Enid had run into a dim alley. Her stamina was lacking, and she could not outrun the three of them.

"Wait, we're not here to hurt you," Teresa called out.

"On it." Chevy crouched down and used his true energy to contain the bleeding and temporarily prevent infection.

"This can stop the bleeding and infection for now, but it's only a temporary fix," Chevy said.

"I understand, Chevy. Could you run to the convenience store and buy two hand warmers? Or grab my coat from the nearby laundromat? Her hands and feet look frozen."

"I'll get both since it's on the way."

"Thanks."

Teresa then turned to Enid, removing her own coat and draping it over Enid's shoulders. Enid looked up at her in astonishment.

Teresa gently asked, "Why aren't you wearing more layers? The weather here isn't that warm yet. You probably fell because your legs got stiff from the cold. Does the coat make you feel a bit warmer now?"

Enid hesitated but then slowly nodded her head.
