Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 1463
Nighttime.
Christopher started driving to the hospital at the stipulated time.
For some reason, the road near the hospital was unusually congested.
Christopher lowered his head to glance at the time impatiently.
Seeing that it was getting closer and closer to his scheduled meeting time with Jude, Christopher quickly took out his phone and dialed Jude’s number. “Mr. Smith, I’m stuck in traffic now. Please wait for me at East z gate, and I’ll arrive in about ten minutes.“
“Alright.“
After hanging up the phone, Jude let out an exhale and walked toward East z Gate, clutching the bag of herbs in his arms.
To his surprise, as soon as he arrived, he caught sight of a man standing there who claimed to be Christopher.
“Hello, are you Mr. Jude Smith?“ The man was wearing a flashy tuxedo and had a stylish haircut. He grinned and walked over when he saw Jude approaching.
For some reason, Jude could not help feeling repulsed by this man. He took a small step backward and asked, “Who are you?“
The man let out a chuckle and replied, “Nice to meet you. I’m Christopher Roberts.“
Jude furrowed his brows. Joshua had mentioned that Christopher was a doctor who liked wearing sensible shirts and slacks.
According to Joshua’s description, Christopher was a cultured, mild-mannered man.
No matter how he looked at it, Jude could not associate the man before him with Joshua’s description of Christopher at all. Therefore, he glanced at him in caution and asked, “Didn’t you say you were stuck in traffic?“
“The traffic police arrived and managed to clear the traffic.“ He smiled and extended his hand toward Jude. “Where’s the Clinging Root? We’re waiting on this to save a life, you know.“
Jude clutched the bag close to him and contemplated for a moment, then took out his phone and dialed Christopher’s number.
The man’s phone did not ring.
However, the call did not go through either. Seeing that Jude was trying to call Christopher,
Hunter narrowed his eyes slightly and dangled his phone in front of Jude’s face. “I’ve run out of battery, so no phone calls can get through.“
Jude bit his lip and glanced at the man before him with a meaningful expression. “Are you…really Christopher Roberts?“
Hunter chuckled. “What’s wrong? Are you only willing to believe me if I show you my ID, Mr. Smith?“
With that, he rummaged around his pocket, pretending to look for his wallet.
“No, no, never mind.“ Jude let out a sigh.
He did not have a habit of checking people’s identification.
One should never judge a book by its cover, after all. Who came up with the notion that doctors were not allowed to wear flashy tuxedos and have stylish haircuts, anyway?
Jude let out another sigh and handed his bag to Hunter. “Mr. Roberts, you have to take good care of this. Joshua risked his life to get this herb for you, and it’s a ten -year-old plant! It’s extremely difficult to find! “
Hunter took the bag from him, a small smile playing on his lips. “Don’t worry.“
With that, he turned and pointed at the car behind him. “Where are you headed, Mr. Smith? Do you need a ride?“
“No need. “ Jude smiled and pointed at a car parked in the distance. “My friend is here to pick me up.“
Hunter narrowed his eyes and glanced in the direction Jude was pointing.
As soon as he saw the person waiting in the car, he was rendered speechless.
Luke Jones?
The man smoking a cigarette in the passenger seat of the car Jude was pointing at was none other than Luke Jones!
This man had risen to power amongst gangs in Merchant City and managed to conquer many of them, so much so that he was the head honcho of them all!
How…did Jude know him?
“Mr. Roberts, Joshua and Luna’s future is in your hands now! ” With that, Jude strode toward Luke’s car, opened the door, and got into the backseat.
