Chapter 1857 The Key
“Let’s not bring that up.”
Davin sighed before standing to the side with his shoulders drooped. His response confused them all.
Then, Juan took a step forward and explained the ins and outs to them. “Steven’s one step ahead of us and has managed to steal the key from Lucas. As of now, Lucas is furious and determined to fight him to the death. Moreover, the old guy who told me that the treasure had something to do with our family also revealed this piece of news to them as well.
When they found out that the person with Girin Blood was a child, they thought of Zayden. Now, they’re in the midst of planning to capture Zayden. If more people find out about this, Zayden will be in grave danger, for many will be after him.”
Just as he finished speaking, Davin panicked. “No! I have to hide my son well. I can’t let them take him away.”
Evan was quiet for a while before he stood up. “Since Steven has gotten the key, why don’t we work with him? We’ll have Zayden give three drops of blood while he hands over the key to open the treasure as quickly as possible. That way, this thing will come to an end.”
“If we work together to open the treasure, then whose treasure will it be?” Juan questioned. “Daddy, it won’t be tough for us to get the key from Steven, so why don’t we—”
“We don’t know what’s inside the treasure. Moreover, the treasure is but an item. Let’s not be greedy if we haven’t worked hard for it. Juan, I hope to resolve this as soon as possible so that we can go back to Y City.”
At that, Juan sighed as he thought it was a pity. Reminded that the others said the Seet family was fated to have that treasure, he was reluctant to give up just like that.
When he lifted his head to look at Levant, the latter chuckled before saying, “Juan, your daddy’s right. Things like underground treasures might be cursed. Who it belongs to is fated.
If it really does belong to us, then… Who knows? Maybe Steven might abruptly die the moment we open the treasure. If it doesn’t belong to us, nothing good will happen to us even if we get it, so there’s no need to be so fixated on it.”
Davin agreed with the suggestion as well. “I think Evan’s and Levant’s words make sense. I just want to settle this matter as soon as possible so that I can bring my wife and kid back to Y City to live our lives.”
Since the three of them were insistent, Juan no longer pressed on the matter and merely nodded. “All right. I’ll heed your words. When tomorrow comes, I’ll look for Steven and discuss the collaboration with him.”
“I’ll come with you,” Levant offered.
Right then, Davin studied Evan and made a sound of surprise.
“Evan, when did you come back? Have you regained your memories? Aren’t you with Shermaine? Did she let you come back?”
“No. My memories haven’t returned yet, but I’m sure that my wife is Nicole. Both Shermaine and my memories are lying to me.”
Hearing that, Davin clicked his tongue.
“That means you trust Nicole more than your brain and yourself. Look, Nicole, my brother loves you so much. Even when you’re not in his memories, he’s still so confident that the one he loves is you and that you’re his wife. A love like this is something I’ll never get to experience in my life.”
Those words caused Nicole’s heart to swell with warmth. She had been through many obstacles in life with Evan, and it seemed like there was a point for them to go through those tough times. She liked the way Davin said that Evan trusted her more than he trusted himself.
After all, she, too, trusted Evan and the feelings they had for each other.
“Davin, what did you just say? Do you think that there’s something wrong with our relationship?” Sheila piped up all of a sudden, giving Davin a nervous start.
“W-Why aren’t you asleep yet?”
“I was waiting for you to come back. What did you mean by that just now? Do you feel regretful because you think we have a bad relationship?” she questioned.
