Chapter 273

"I don't need it." Dustin said, rejecting Dakota outright.

"You don't need it?" When Dakota heard his answer, she was stunned. She n

ever thought that even at this moment of life and death, Dustin would sti

ll dare to reject her. Did he really not want to live anymore?

"Dustin, don't make decisions based on your emotions!" Dahlia tugged on h

is sleeve, trying to talk some sense into him. "I don't care what crime y

ou committed, but your life is important. The Nicholson family has connec

tions in the military: only she can save you now!"

"She can't save me, and I don't need her saving." Dustin shook his head.

Judging from the license plates and

flags, this troop was from the Balerno Military. The people in Glanstead

couldn't do anything. Not to mention, Edwin had to pull strings to send t

his huge troop after him. He wouldn't let Dustin get away that easily.

"Hmph! You're already on death's door, yet you're still so stubborn!" Dak

ota jutted her chin out derisively. "It seems like you still haven't gras

ped the severity of the problem. I dare guarantee that without the help o

f the Nicholsons, you'll be rotting in there for life!"

"Dustin, I'm begging you, alright? Agree to her terms!" Dahlia urged anxi

ously.

An average citizen couldn't fight an officer. The high–

ranking officers in the military could easily squash a civilian. With jus

t one word, they could have them buried six feet under.

"You don't have to worry about me. I'm just going in to have a cup of tea

. I believe I'll be out in no time, so you should just go home." Dustin s

aid with a small smile.

The military had come all the way here, so of course, he had to show them

some respect.

"Enough yapping! Take him away!" The commander had obviously run out of p

atience and ordered his men to cuff Dustin and push him into the car.

Then, with a troop of guards in tow, they made a grand exit. The entire p

rocess had been so simple and straight to the point. No one had been drag

ging their feet.

Dahlia was extremely anxious, but she couldn't do anything to help. With

her network, she couldn't even reach the high–

ranking officials in the military, much less get them to save someone. As

if she thought of something. she turned to Dakota and begged, "Dakota, y

ou have a wide network. Can you help Dustin and break him out?"

"I've already given him a chance, but he wouldn't accept my kind gesture.

It's none of my business!" Dakota

said huffily.

"Even if you don't care about

Dustin, you have to think about your mother," Dahlia said, changing the s

ubject.

"Well…" Dakota frowned. She didn't care whether Dustin lived or died, but

her mother was now suffering from a terminal illness, just like Dustin h

ad said. If he kicked the bucket, then wouldn't her mother be at high ris

k?

"If I save him, are you sure he'll treat my mother?" Dakota asked doubtfu

lly.

"I promise that he definitely will! Dahlia said with a serious face.

"Alright, I'll trust you this time!" Dakota nodded. Then, she took out he

r phone and began to contact some

people.

A few of the Nicholson family members were working in the military. To he

r, this small favor was clearly not an

issue at all.

At that moment, Natasha was lying down on the lounge chair in Peaceful Me

dical Center, sipping her tea

slowly like a dignified owner of a medical center.

"Natasha, something happened!" Ruth barged into the room in a panic.
