Chapter 594: Prolonging the Time
Leila knew Xavier's character perfectly well; her brother was most eloquent. But he hadn't just said a
word, which was an anomaly.
-What do you want me to say in this situation? And I'm apprehensive. If I open my mouth and say the
wrong thing, it will backfire.
Xavier wasn't sure, so he stifled his voice.
But when Leila reminded him, he suddenly remembered that he had indeed underperformed.
A man with a mind like Leopold's must have wondered at Xavier's perversity.
-Go upstairs now and stall them, then I'll find someone to move the target. I don't know them at all, so
they won't suspect me, instead it's you who is more likely to be suspicious.
Leila gave a couple of general instructions and then prepared for action. Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
Xavier paused and hurried into the elevator to follow Leila's plan. He had to get to the top floor now and
stall those two before he could.
-What a bad time to come, it had to be this time, was it really on purpose? -Xavier watched the elevator
go up slowly, his mind a little fuzzy.
Little Daniel hasn't woken up yet, but even if he did, that boy couldn't help Xavier as proof that he
saved him.
So, as Leila said, Xavier is doing a good deed and they probably won't thank him for it.
It wasn't until he got to the top floor that Xavier was ready to exit the elevator.
But he had just exited the elevator when he found Leopold and the others heading downstairs. The
speed of this search was extraordinary, and it suddenly seemed to Xavier that Leopoldo was not even
seriously checking.
-Mariana... -he unconsciously greeted the other man by pronouncing Mariana's name.
Mariana hadn't even looked up in his direction when they had just met downstairs.
She probably still didn't know he was here, and as for Leopoldo, he wouldn't have given it a thought.
-How did you get here?
Mariana, with the benefit of hindsight, is only now learning that Xavier is in this hospital.
-He was next to that doctor when we were on the first floor, didn't you notice? -Leopoldo glanced at
Xavier and spoke faintly.
He deliberately underlined the word "doctor".
Mariana shook her head, indicating that she really didn't know.
-What are you doing now? -Xavier asked the couple, pretending not to know anything.
As for Leopoldo's attempts to sully himself in front of Mariana, he didn't flinch.
-Looking for my son," Mariana uttered the words without even thinking about it.
Xavier should know better than anyone what was going on.
They found nothing after checking surveillance earlier, then they knew there was a clue in the morgue,
but it was soon cut off again.
Mariana wondered, for a moment, why the other man had done this. With all the commotion, why didn't
he just jump on him?
Searching the hospital one by one is not an option. Are you sure you can search them all in twenty-four
hours? -Xavier expressed surprise at Leopoldo's nonsensical approach.
Although he said it, he was a bit incredulous. I'm afraid there is no one but Leopoldo who could have
done this.
-We're in a hurry and we don't have time to talk nonsense with you here," Leopoldo reminded the man
and then walked past Xavier.
He led Mariana to the elevator. They had little time to search the entire city in twenty-four hours, so
every minute counted.
-Can't you speak so coldly? I'm afraid you're understaffed, I can move some people here too! -Xavier
followed him to the elevator, babbling on and on.
He wasn't trying to impress Leopoldo, everything he was doing was for Mariana.
-It's not necessary.
Without even thinking about it, Leopold declined the offer.
One, because he had enough staff to do all the work in such a short time. Two, because he trusted no
one but his own staff.
-I'm not asking you, why are you answering me?
Xavier's eyes rested on Mariana, waiting for the other woman to answer him.
Mariana looked at the man, who at this point looked slightly tired and didn't feel much like thinking
about anything else.
If she could follow Leopoldo back and forth and keep looking and looking, she would have more or less
something to look forward to.
-When Leopoldo says it's not necessary, it's really not.
Mariana knows Xavier means well. The other man was kind to her, so she couldn't help but appreciate
it.
As a matter of urgency, she just wanted to find Daniel Gu quickly.
-Well, then...
Xavier expected the woman to turn her down, but for a moment he felt a little bad inside.
Once the elevator doors opened, Leopold led the woman straight out of the elevator and onto the floor.
They were able to search every corner of the pavilion, front and back.
Xavier stood still for a moment and then hurried after him, eager to check what exactly was going on.
-Ding!
He was about to step forward when his phone received a message from Leila to herself.
This is the most crucial moment, so Xavier reminds himself not to be careless.
Especially if the story got out, not only would he suffer, but he would drag his sister down with him.
-There are so many of him we can't get out now, so delay as long as you can.
Leila's side was in trouble, with Leopold's men holding out.
They didn't even give him a chance to push people out the door.
-You guys wait for me! -Xavier panicked and then followed behind Leopoldo and Mariana.
In any case, he had to find a way to stall and stop Leopoldo from advancing so fast.
-Mariana, this hospital is my sister's hospital, so feel free to look for all of you and never be polite.
Even if Xavier says that, he doesn't have his heart in his mouth.
He couldn't wait for Leopoldo and Mariana to finish their search of the place as soon as possible, for
his sake.
-I thought she was your new girlfriend, but I didn't realize she was your sister," Leopoldo looked at
Xavier and let out a manly and sarcastic comment.
Xavier is a notorious playboy in his circle. No wonder even a woman changes a day.
However, during the three years Mariana was away, he also retired from the scene at the same time.
So, not much has been heard from him in recent years.
-Does Mr. Durán usually worry so much about gossip when nothing is going on? That was my
temperament years ago and I've long since reformed it.
Xavier thinks Leopoldo is trying to get in front of Mariana again and curry his own favor.
