Chapter 730: Chapter 724: Surfacing (Part 2)

May stood frozen, not expecting him to suddenly say such words.

Thank you for always quietly putting a blanket over him during his lunch breaks.

Thank you for knowing he prefers mineral water over carbonated drinks.

Thank you for always preparing his favorite fruit wine for him.

Thank you for standing up for him whenever others bullied him in the crew.

Thank you for not burdening him too much even though you like him.

Thank you for being so good to him.

May looked into his sincere eyes and bit her lip, filled with blame as she said, "What’s wrong with you? Why say this now, it makes me feel so bad, I almost want to cry..."

As she spoke, she burst into tears. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

The feeling was indeed uncomfortable, like a hand tightly gripping her throat, making her have to cry to feel better.

Finn parked the car by the roadside, furrowing his brow. He had never comforted anyone, but he didn’t want to make her sad before parting: "Don’t cry."

She couldn’t control it, tears fell relentlessly.

Seeing this, Finn softened his voice a bit: "You’re not that young anymore, try putting work aside and find someone who will treat you well and start a relationship."

May cried, her cheeks flushed, her round almond-shaped eyes filled with tears, unable to stop as she cried, "What does it matter to you if I date or not? Who talks like that, saying someone’s not young anymore? Anyway, who wants your thanks?"

Finn: "..."

Suddenly, he didn’t know how to comfort her.

She rubbed her eyes, but the tears wouldn’t stop.

Seeing this, Finn sighed gently.

May bit her lip: "Who says that liking someone means you have to like them forever? Don’t worry, I won’t like you too long. Once you leave us, I’ll slowly forget."

Finn nodded: "Hmm."

He hoped she wouldn’t like him for too long. She was good and deserved someone who truly cared for her.

"I want to be Tiana’s best friend, not call her my little aunt in the future."

Finn handed her a tissue: "Wipe off, we’ll be at the Ford family estate soon."

May took it and gradually calmed down.

She didn’t think not having Finn was her failure. In this world, there are some people, some things, that can’t be obtained even after a lifetime.

Just fate.

A half-hour later, they arrived at the Ford family estate.

Tiana was still resting, so May and Finn waited in the living room.

Rouge Jarvis asked Finn about his family situation; no big issues were there, so she turned to May: "Amy, you can also stay at the estate in the future; Tiana has prepared a room for you."

"No need, it’s too much trouble."

Rouge Jarvis replied, "Our Ford family, isn’t afraid of trouble."

May smiled and agreed: "...Okay, thank you, Auntie."

Really, wealthy people speak differently, leaving her unable to refuse.

At this moment, Sebastian Ford came quickly from his study into the living room, hadn’t noticed the guests, slightly excited, and said with a serious expression: "Mom, I found something strange in the police station’s surveillance from back then."

Rouge Jarvis stood up, her face suddenly pale: "Explain, what happened?"

Sebastian continued: "The surveillance video was obviously overlapped; the forensic department should have blank video after the overlap, but when amplified, a woman’s shadow appears at the edges."

Then, word by word: "My cousin just checked, twenty years ago, Banyria’s police department had no female forensic doctors."
