When Callix Linton called, Easton Holmes was eating in the cafeteria. Hearing his grandfather say that Lily Turner had some issues, he put down his chopsticks and immediately stood up from his seat.
"I have to go back."
He said to Jaxon Dyer, who was eating with him, and without waiting for a reaction, he had already left his seat and headed towards the cafeteria’s exit.
Watching Easton Holmes hurry out, Jaxon Dyer thought something big must have happened at home, and quickly got up to follow, in case he needed his help.
"Is something wrong at home? Do you need my help?" After chasing him out of the cafeteria door, Jaxon Dyer caught up with Easton Holmes, who had left before him, and without taking a breath, immediately asked.
Easton Holmes didn’t stop at all, turned his head, and waved his hand at Jaxon Dyer who was pursuing him, "Go back and eat, I’ll call you if I need anything."
With that, he started running, his destination being his grandfather’s house.
After the figure ran far away, Jaxon Dyer then turned around and returned to the cafeteria. Seeing him walk in, Luke Crowe hurried over, "Captain! Why did the lieutenant leave in such a hurry? Did something happen?"
When Easton Holmes answered the phone just now, Luke Crowe not only saw it, but also heard it, though he heard very little.
But seeing his leader leave so anxiously, he thought something big must have happened because he had never seen his leader so flustered before.
"It seems to be his wife..."
Jaxon Dyer stopped mid-sentence and raised his hand to tap Luke Crowe on the forehead, "Don’t snoop around about things you shouldn’t. Just eat your meal properly."
Although he spoke harshly, his expression was much gentler.
"You don’t have to tell me, I know that call must have concerned the lieutenant’s wife." Although Jaxon Dyer did not finish his sentence, Luke Crowe understood what he meant in his words. No wonder his leader was so tense just now, it turns out something happened to his wife.
Luke Crowe, with a gossiping look, made Jaxon Dyer raise his hand and knock him again, "You’re daring to gossip about anyone’s matters, do you believe I’ll tell the lieutenant to punish you..."
"No, please!"
Hearing Jaxon Dyer say he would find Easton Holmes to report and punish him, Luke Crowe quickly raised his hand in surrender, "Captain! I was wrong, I won’t gossip anymore, I’ll listen to you and eat obediently."
Seeing his captain’s serious expression, Luke Crowe obediently sat back in his seat, picked up his chopsticks, and lowered his head to continue eating his unfinished meal.
Regarding the minor situation happening in the cafeteria, Easton Holmes running home had no idea at all, his heart was too occupied to think about anything else.
He only thought about getting home quickly to see exactly what happened to her at home.
His grandfather rarely called him at this time, let alone such an urgent call—he could tell from the call earlier that his grandfather was very nervous.
These abnormal reactions made his heart tightly suspended in panic.
Easton Holmes took bigger and bigger steps, his running speed unknowingly accelerated, he almost sprinted home as fast as he could.
"Grandpa! What happened to Lily?"
Earlier on the phone, Callix Linton only told Easton Holmes that Lily Turner was in a bad situation, but did not specify details, and he did not have time to ask.
When he rushed in and didn’t see her figure, he unexpectedly saw Aiden Taylor.
