Babel Novel
Chapter 297
Chapter 297 No Right
Back then, when Kate grew tired from yelling, Eric would hand her water. When she was hungry, he would bring her food. He never spoke back or argued, he just silently endured her anger.
She thought she must have seemed like a shrew, completely lacking the demeanour and grace of a lady.
Only in front of Eric did she abandon all semblance of poise.
She had asked him why he forced her to spend the afternoon with him and what he wanted from her, but Eric never answered.
He simply watched her quietly. When the time was up, he stood up coldly and left without a word.
Kate had felt immense relief when he left, immediately texting Ruth and Simon to complain about how strange and insane Eric was.
She didn’t see or hear from Eric for the next half month.
Then, one day, George came to her with a suppressed fury, urging her to see Eric. She refused and argued with George, harshly declaring that she wouldn’t visit Eric even if he were dying. If he died, it would serve him right.
Kate still felt a chill thinking about the icy expression on George’s face back then.
She didn’t go to see Eric.
Later, she learned through the grapevine that Eric had gone to Bastilla for something very important but extremely dangerous. His greatest concern was her, which was why he had come to Summer Estate to force her to spend the afternoon with him–he feared he might not return.
Even after being seriously injured and returning, he wanted to see her, but she had flatly refused and even uttered those cruel words.
Kate’s heart ached.
As these painful memories resurfaced, she realised how deeply she had hurt Eric in her and how much she owed him.
Now that Eric had gone to Bastilla, how could she not be worried?
After a long silence, Kate took a deep breath. “How many people did he take to Bastilla?”

George kept this thought to himself, but Kate understood it clearly.
She sat back on the sofa, lips tightly pressed together. After a long silence, she spoke softly, “I understand.”
She closed her eyes. “Leave me alone for a while.”
George nodded obediently, and Hendrick and Linus also stood up, the three of them leaving together.
As soon as they stepped outside, Hendrick turned to George with a serious expression. “What exactly is Ric doing?”
George looked at Hendrick with a complex expression before saying, “Mr. Hendrick, these matters don’t concern you, and it’s best you don’t know too much.”
The more you know, the faster you might die.
The organisation had already taken notice of Kate, and it was likely the Lowes would be targeted
next.
Linus frowned slightly, his voice cold. “Eric isn’t involved in anything illegal, is he?”
George’s eyes flashed with sharpness as he swiftly and decisively responded, “Of course not!”
His gaze towards Linus was filled with coldness, and even a hint of hostility.
Linus’s questioning of Eric was unacceptable to him.
Anyone could doubt Eric, but the Lowes… they had no right!
Without Eric, the Lowes would have long ceased to exist.
