Chapter 1409: 1048: The First Thing After Waking Is to Care About Her

"If I don’t bring her back, they will only believe I’m in the wrong.""Besides, I’m serious about Eva Nightingale."

Subordinate: "!!!"

Mr. President, you’re serious in the wrong place, wrong, wrong indeed.

The words have been spoken and the advice given; but it seems to have no effect?

As subordinates, we dare not interrupt much, but inwardly feel that the President’s approach is rather stubborn.

Two days later, Arthur Easton, lying on the hospital bed, finally woke up.

Opening his eyes, the first thing that flashed through his mind was the image of Eva Nightingale, his crimson lips lightly parted: "Is she okay?"

Hearing Arthur Easton’s voice, the subordinates were stunned at first, standing watch outside, they rushed in through the door.

Kneeling by the bedside: "Master Easton, you’re finally awake!"

Oh my god, they thought...

Arthur Easton barely scraped through Ghost Gate, his complexion was pale with no sign of vitality, yet the first thing he thought of upon waking was Eva Nightingale.

He vaguely remembered that night when he fell, his sharp eyes were fixed in Eva’s direction...

"Where is she?"

"Master Easton, what do you mean?" The subordinate asked fearfully.

"Eva Nightingale; is she... okay?" It was posed as a question, but his tone carried certainty, hoping she was indeed fine, as he expected.

"Master Easton!!"

The subordinates were truly defeated by him; at a time like this, he’s still thinking about beauty? However, Arthur Easton was never one to be swayed by beauty.

He never indulges in sensual pleasures; he is very abstinent, as everyone knows, without a doubt.

Yet now as soon as he woke up, he wasn’t concerned about his injury but about Eva Nightingale, which was somewhat ’excessive,’ too unexpected.

"Easton, rest assured, she’s fine, she’s already been... taken back by the Sovereign Empire’s people."

Gideon Linwood stood by, very polite.

He understands Arthur Easton, cold and ruthless by nature; he doesn’t want this question asked over and over again.

Therefore, Gideon, who read his mind best, immediately reassured him of Eva Nightingale’s safety.

"That’s good." He uttered those three words, then lay back on the bed without any reaction.

After a while, Gideon hurried out, took out his phone, and dialed the Second Young Master.

Meanwhile, in the large manor of the Easton Family, located in the affluent district of City A,

Arthur sat in the living room; Lauren Cloud dressed opulently, fashion-forward, exuding the aura of a wealthy matron, she glanced at her son calmly: "Arthur, what’s going on? Didn’t you say your brother went to Marwell Islands for vacation? And still hasn’t returned?"

"Has something happened?"

Lauren understood her son best.

"No! Mom, how could anything happen." Arthur insisted on keeping it hidden.

Who knew the moment he finished speaking, the phone vibrated, he promptly pressed the power button.

"Arthur! What about your sister-in-law? Even if your brother doesn’t return, you should bring your sister-in-law back; she’s pregnant..."

"Well..." Arthur rubbed his face.

Lauren always believed that Eva Nightingale was truly her son’s girlfriend, even though she hadn’t met her, she was genuinely fond of her and looked forward to meeting her.

Arthur feared the truth would come out.

Eva Nightingale would never be his brother’s girlfriend.

Thus, he had already planned for Charlotte Knight to play this role.
