Lola, who was sitting opposite the two brothers, clenched her fists unconsciously when she heard this.

That was the only reason?

Otis didn't trust Arthur. Now even his eyes had changed.

When he got home, it was near midnight. Otis got a call from Jack and knew the reason

"You say Arthur saw you tonight?!"

"Well, who knows why your brother came up to the roof? Victor and I were so scared that we almost shot him!" Jack complained.

"How much does he know?" Otis was more concerned.

"Otis, just so we're clear. It wasn't our idea to come clean. He overheard me talking to Victor..."

"What did you say?"

"About the tonic for Miss Webb, and... he knows you sent us to protect Miss Webb."

No wonder! Otis was either relieved or more nervous. No wonder Arthur's attitude had changed. Whether he knew why he was protecting Lucia or not, he'll be relieved.

With Arthur who was brilliant, it was estimated that soon he will be able to figure out the relationship. Otis now had a headache.

"You didn't say anything else, did you?" Otis asked again.

"Nothing, just confess that you old comrade-in-arms brought us here to protect Lucia, and nothing else," Jack explained quickly.

"Good, you keep protecting Lucia and don't worry about anything else," Otis said.

"Otis, I'm sorry." He and Victor, because of chat, relaxed vigilance. Jack was still quite guilty.

"It's okay," Otis said. "You guys just watch out for Dan."

"OK." Jack simply responded. Two people hung up the phone. owns this text.

Otis put the phone down and lay down on the bed. Could Arthur have sensed something?

Just a few rooms away, Arthur was lying in bed thinking about what he had discovered tonight.

Arthur could have asked Otis why he wanted to send someone to protect Lucia from the start, but since Otis had chosen to keep it a secret, Arthur would not have taken the initiative to ask. Given Otis's personality, he would never reveal what he had chosen to hide.

Was Lucia in any kind of danger if she was being protected? Arthur immediately thought of Dan. Otis had previously confessed to him that Spencer had a dangerous man on his side. Could Spencer be using him to threaten Lucia?

Spencer loved Lucia. Why would he hurt her?

Arthur was baffled and worried about Lucia's safety, but he trusted his brother, not to mention a trusted friend of Otis's from his days in the special forces. He believed Lucia's safety can be assured. Why, exactly...

It'd been a long night for Arthur.

The next day, Arthur, who hadn't slept all night, got up at dawn to wash up. He had just stepped out of the room when he saw Otis walking out of the room with a suitcase behind him.

"Otis..." Really? Was he going to leave?

Arthur didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"I have to go back today. I've been here for too long and I've been delayed. I have a nine o'clock flight. I'm leaving right now," Otis said as he glanced at Arthur's helpless face.

"There's no need to rush..." Arthur felt that Otis was a terrible liar, as he must have taken care of things at his branch office since he was able to come to Athegate.

"Arthur, take care of yourself. Don't let us worry, okay?" Otis didn't take Arthur's word for it. Instead, he told him to take care of himself.

"I know, but..." Arthur's "But" was interrupted by Otis before he can finish his words.

"Alright, I have to go now. Otherwise, I won't be able to make the flight." Without giving Arthur any chance to ask questions, Otis quickly went downstairs with his suitcase. He didn't even say goodbye, let alone have breakfast.

Arthur laughed even more bitterly. Had there not been a flight last night, would Otis have "escaped" overnight?

His departure, however, confirmed Arthur's suspicions, and it was time for him to think about what he could do for Lucia.

After breakfast, when Arthur was going to the office, Lola unexpectedly offered to go with him.

"I'm going to the office on business. It'll be boring if you go with me," Arthur said politely.

Lola didn't give up. She continued, "Arthur, I'm fine at home. Just let me go with you."

"Arthur said no," said Juliana, who had not finished her breakfast before Arthur could speak.

Lola turned to look at Juliana with a displeased look in her eyes. Arthur said, "Julia's right. I'll be staying at the company today. Why don't you go out and take a look?"

"I've walked the streets of Athegate, Arthur. Why don't you let me accompany you?" Lola said, using the word "accompany" to annoy Juliana.

Besides, Lola was feeling very threatened right now. She had seen Arthur's change last night, and he didn't seem so depressed anymore. Lola was afraid of change, so she wanted to stay by Arthur's side and close the distance between them.

Arthur hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded. Since she wanted to accompany, then he let her accompany and just wanted to ask her something.

With Arthur's permission, Lola ran upstairs to get her purse, and Juliana asked Arthur,

"Arthur, are you really going to accept Lola?"

"Who said that?" Arthur asked with a smile.

"And you..."

"I just want to ask her something. Don't think about it. Just take care of the baby," he said so and was grateful that she was worried about him.

When Lola came downstairs, she followed Arthur to the Branch of Davonnis, where, as Arthur had said, he was too busy with his business to spend any time with Lola, but Lola was patient enough to leave him alone. She was just sitting on the couch, flipping through a magazine, and occasionally looking up at Arthur, who was a sweet thing for her.

During his lunch break, Arthur put down the papers and looked up at Lola,

"My business is done. Let's go out to lunch."

"Good." Lola excitedly got up, picked up the bag ready to go out. At this time, Arthur, without warning, asked a question, which made her body stiff.

"By the way, are you sure Teddy's bone marrow donor wasn't lying?"

The expression on Lola's face stiffened for a few seconds, but then she snapped back to her smile and asked Arthur,

"Arthur, as I told you, my observations are for reference only. Why are you bringing this up now?"
