Chapter 402

"Hey, how can you be so stubborn?" Dustin's one–track mind

made Ruth blow her top. "My sister didn't tell you for your own sake. Oth

erwise, you'd always be at risk of a fatal disaster!"

"Hmph, I've been through rain and fire for years. Is there anything I hav

en't encountered before? I stand by my words–

if you don't say it, I'll go ask myself!" Dustin said resolutely.

"You" Ruth stamped her feet in fury, but she didn't know how to rebut. Af

ter a moment, she shook her head helplessly. "It seems like my sister was

right: you won't give it a rest. I really don't know if this is a blessi

ng or a curse. Didn't you say you want to

go to Millsburg to see my sister? Fine. I can take you there, but you hav

e to listen to me. You can't act rashly! Or else my sister and I will als

o get dragged down with you. Got it?"

"Alright!" Dustin agreed. Right now, he only wanted to see for himself th

at Natasha was fine.

"Tidy up. I'll wait for you in the car," Ruth

said, then went straight to the car,

At that moment, Maximus, who'd heard the commotion, walked over. "Dustin,

you're going out?"

"Yeah, I'm going to Millsburg to get something done. I'll probably be the

re for about five days. Please help take

care of the home in the meantime." Dustin patted his shoulder.

"No problem! If there's anything, just ring me anytime!" Maximus patted h

is chest.

"Okay." Dustin nodded. He picked up his bags, turned around, and got into

the car.

With Maximus–who'd already achieved divinity–

around, things should be fine in Swinton.

The car moved out quickly, making its way to Millsburg. After half a day,

the car finally came to a stop in an urban village in the evening. They

arrived at a small villa with a garden.

The door opened, and Ruth and Dustin alighted.

"Ms. Ruth, you've arrived." At that moment, a kind–looking middle–

aged man walked out of the villa.

"Mr. Robinson, this is Dustin Rhys. Over the next few days, you are in ch

arge of his meals and

accommodations," Ruth said in lieu of an introduction.

"Hello, Mr. Rhys." Mr. Robinson bowed respectfully.

"Ruth, what kind of place did you bring me to?" Dustin was taken aback.

"This is the temporary lodging I arranged for you. Mr. Robinson used to w

ork for the Harmon family and can be trusted. If you need anything, just

let him know," Ruth explained.

"I'm not talking about that. Where's your sister?" Dustin pressed.

"My sister can't meet you yet. Just stay here for a few days, and when th

e time is right, I'll arrange for you two

to meet," Ruth replied.

"Then you have to at least tell me what happened." Dustin frowned.

"Water won't boil if you watch it. The situation right now is unfavorable

. Knowing too much won't do you an

good, either. If you trust my sister, then wait a couple of days." Ruth l

ooked serious.

"But Dustin started, but Ruth interrupted him.

"Before we came, we already agreed that you would listen to me. Otherwise

, please go home!"

"Fine, I'll wait!" Dustin took a deep breath. In the end, he chose to giv

e in. After all, he was already in Millsburg.

If trouble really arose, he could lend his support anytime.

"Great. Just wait here, and I'll contact you in case of anything."

With

that, Ruth got in the car and left. She'd snuck out, so she couldn't stay

for long.

"Mr. Rhys, please have some tea." Mr. Robinson handed him a cup.

"Thank you."
