Chapter 272

"Once my Mom is cured, we'll hash out

our past and present grievances together!" Dakota said in a sharp tone, h

er eyes ferocious.

"Knock yourself out." Dustin shrugged nonchalantly.

"You" Dakota choked out. She was grashing her teeth so hard that the grin

ding was audible, but she couldn't do anything anyway.

While they were both in a stand–

cft, a sudden uproar broke out near the hospital entrance. They raised th

eir heads to find a fully armed motorcade bulldozing their way over.

The motorcade was from the military, and it was a huge spectacle. All the

guards sitting on top were armed and radiating murderous energy. Everywh

ere they passed, people and cars parted to make way for them.

"That's strange. What is the military doing? Could they be here to arrest

some outlaw?" Dahlia looked around in confusion.

Dakota also locked perplexed.

At that moment, the commander ordered, "Hurry, surround them now!"

The guards got down from the motorcade and instantly encircled Dustin and

the two women. Seeing the muzzle of the guns lined up next to each other

gave them chills.

"Huh?" Dahlia was startled, and her face paled. She had been ready to wat

ch the show. Never in a million. years did she expect that these guards w

ould be encircling them instead.

"Don't panic. This has nothing to do with you. They're here for me." Dust

in swept his gaze over the guards. He already had a plan in mind.

"They're here to arrest you? Why?" Dahlia asked, flabbergasted.

She couldn't understand what kind of crime the man in front of her had co

mmitted that could incite the military's arrival.

"It's just a trivial matter. It's nothing." Dustin smiled mildly.

"A trivial matter?" Dahlia frowned.

The military was here for him, and he still called it

a trivial matter?

"Dustin, you committed the heinous crime of murder in broad daylight! We

have been ordered to arrest you and

bring you to justice! If you resist, you

will be killed!" the commander said with a cool face..

The murderous vibe he was exuding scared the wits out of Dahlia. "Command

er, is there some kind of misunderstanding?" she asked tentatively.

"Unrelated persons are to make way at once! Otherwise, you will be charge

d with the same crimes!" the commander said mercilessly.

"Don't worry, I'll be fine. You should go home first." Dustin placed a ha

nd on Dahlia's shoulder and smiled

gently.

"I —" Dahlia said hesitantly.

How could this huge spectacle be nothing?

But she couldn't help in any way right now.

"Rhys, I bet you never thought this day would come!" At that moment, Dako

ta suddenly laughed, taking pleasure in his misfortune. "You must have co

mmitted a huge crime to have sparked the military into coming here. Now,

I'll give you another chance. If you cure my mother's illness and then ap

ologize to me, I'll agree to

save you."
