Paul frowned, "Sir definitely won’t, you..."
Moses stood up and handed the document to him again, his deep dark eyes falling on Paul’s face, "This document must not fall into anyone’s hands, nor can it be seen by anyone else, including you."
Meeting the man’s gaze, Paul read the trust in his eyes, and took the file bag with both hands, nodding solemnly.
"I promise to protect this document with my life. If... if anything happens to you, I will certainly hand the document over to Miss Gaia."
Moses withdrew his hand, "Arrange a plane; I need to make a trip to A Country."
"I’ll go at once." Paul took out his phone and walked to the side to make a call. Moses reached into his pocket and pulled out two coins.
He stared at the two coins for a moment, then put them back into his suit’s inner pocket and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the brilliant sunshine outside.
This time, the outcome of the surgery is uncertain. Before he leaves, he has to see her once more.
That way, even if he dies, he will have no regrets.
At Duke Locke’s Residence.
Qian Xueying stood with her arms crossed in front of Duke Locke’s bed, squinting and looking at his face.
She didn’t know why, but she had a feeling that Duke Locke seemed somewhat different today.
"Miss!" Butler Xiuyi pushed open the door and walked in, "The Duke has returned."
Qian Xueying immediately turned her face, "Is he alone?"
"No." Xiuyi shook his head lightly, "He came back with Miss Gan and his son."
Qian Xueying frowned, "Gan Yuan came back too?"
"Previously in A Country, she had officially announced her candidacy. Coming back now..." Xiuyi straightened up, "It seems she’s planning to return to the country to restore her status."
During her time in F Country, Gan Yuan had successfully cleared her name. Now, as a presidential candidate, she was naturally a person of significant status.
During this period, Huangfu Jue had been organizing things through the media domestically. Coupled with the tacit approval of the Royal Palace, the media’s opinion of her had already started to turn around.
Not only in F Country, but even in A Country, her image had improved significantly, and her support rate had begun to rise sharply.
"Miss." A maid walked in, holding an invitation in her hands, "An invitation from the Duke’s Residence."
Qian Xueying turned her face, and Xiuyi took the invitation and handed it to her. Seeing Gan Yuan’s signature on it, she immediately smiled again.
"She actually invited me to the party. Xiuyi, what do you think?"
"It seems she doesn’t know about you and the Duke." Xiuyi sneered, "Since she invited you personally, you certainly have to attend the party, right?"
"Of course." Qian Xueying lightly waved the invitation in her hand, "Prepare the car immediately, I need to pick out a nice dress."
Xiuyi turned to leave, but she suddenly called out to him, lifting her chin towards Duke Locke on the bed.
"Has the old man behaved oddly in the past couple of days?"
Xiuyi looked puzzled at Duke Locke on the bed, lightly shaking his head, "What’s wrong?"
Qian Xueying stood with her hands behind her back, staring at Duke Locke on the pillow.
Duke Locke’s mouth was open, his eyes were vacant and dull, with no trace of animation, looking no different from before.
Just now everything should have been an illusion. How could he recover consciousness when he’s been on medication the whole time?
