Chapter 517 Love Cancer
After regaining her freedom, Alina immediately ran toward Braden, who was at the warehouse
entrance.
"Braden, how are you? Are you hurt? Where's Tracy? Don't tell me you came alone?"
Ignoring the injuries on her body, she steadily held the man's arm and looked around for Tracy.
"I came alone."
Braden's voice was cold and emotionless.
"What? You came alone? How did you do it? Are you really not hurt?"
Alina could not imagine how a blind man like Braden could have made his way from a mansion tens of
miles away to this out-of-the-way warehouse that lay on a dangerous terrace.
"It doesn't matter. Tell me where Shirley is."
Braden's deep eyes were hidden in the darkness as he questioned the woman in an urgent tone.
"Do you love her that much?"
Alina's heart ached, and she inexplicably felt sad. With tears welling up in her eyes, she said, "She did
this to you and me. Don't you hate her at all? You came all the way here alone. Have you ever thought
about what would happen if you ran into an enemy? Even if you didn't run into an enemy, the
consequences would still be unimaginable if you met any crazy motorbike. Do you really want to die for
her?"
"It doesn't matter."
Braden's handsome face was cold. He shook off Alina's support and fumbled to walk out. "If you really
don't want to tell me, I'll find her myself."
"I... I'll go with you. I know where she is. I'll go with you!'

who was a wolf in sheep's clothing.
She wiped her tears and quickly followed to support the man. "I am your crutch. I'll accompany you
wherever you go.’
"Alina, thank you. I know you're a good girl. You won't kill her."
Braden stared blankly in Alina's direction. "Help me find her. As long as she's safe, I won't pursue the
matter further."
"Wait, I want to go too!"
Antwan had been standing inside the warehouse, observing Braden and Alina's every move.
Their words were singular in the extreme, especially those of Braden, who had been haughty.
Was it as true as the rumor that his perfect cousin was really blind?!
"If you want to find her, find her yourself, don't follow us!"
Alina was not a fool. She guarded Braden the whole time, not giving Antwan any chance to get close to
him. She followed Tracy's advice and did everything she could to prevent Antwan from finding out that
Braden was blind.
Fortunately, the night was dark, and there was no moon. It was dark inside and outside the warehouse,
and nothing could be seen clearly.
Several times Antwan tried to get close enough to see Braden's eyes, but he was blocked by the fierce
Alina.
Of course, he was not in the mood to care whether Braden was really blind or not. All he wanted was to
find Shirley as soon as possible so that he could feel at ease.
The three of them walked one after the other along the rugged mountain road outside the warehouse,
heading towards the winding river with difficulty.
Alina felt that there was no other way to go on like this, so she could only confess, "To tell you the truth,
I was kidnapped at that time, so I didn't even know what happened to Shirley. I was saying that to curse
her. Maybe she would have gone home long ago, so you'd better not go to the river. It's too steep and
dangerous there."
Unexpectedly, the two didn't believe it at all.
Antwan immediately turned hostile and threatened at Alina, 'You're still playing tricks on me at this time.
Do you think I'll believe it? You must have pushed her into the river, trying to delay time on purpose,
right? If anything happens to her, I will make you pay with my life!"
Braden also said in a low voice, "At this point, you don't have to hide anything from me anymore. As
long as she's alive, I won't pursue the matter. The river is so urgent that we can't delay it any longer."
"I, I'm not playing tricks, and I'm not trying to hide anything. She really didn't jump into the river. Even if
you drain the water, you can't find her. I don't want you to waste your efforts!’
Alina explained helplessly.
At this time, Antwan noticed something unusual by the river through the light from his phone.
"Isn't that Shirley’s clothes? I think she fell in that position!"
Alina looked in that direction and was shocked as well. "It's really her clothes. Did she really fall into it?"
Braden said nothing.
He pursed his lips as he listened to the rushing water. He broke free from Alina's hold and rushed
toward the riverbank.
"Shirley Wilson!"
He groped the river railing and called out the woman's name. All that responded to him was the
rumbling sound of water.
Antwan also followed. He first looked at the river, then at Braden beside him. Then, he pointed at a spot
in the middle of the river and said eagerly, "Look, is that floating thing Shirley? She seems to be dizzy
and motionless..."

"It's two o'clock in front of you, how can you not see it so obvious?"
Antwan swiped his phone open and said urgently, 'Til call the rescue right away... Damn it, the signal is
bad here. I'll go find the signal. You stay here first!"
"It's too late!"
Braden did not suspect anything and dived into the river.
The river was so turbulent that Braden fumbled several times, but he found nothing and was washed
away by the torrent.
"Ah, Braden!"
When Alina caught up with him, she could only watch as Braden was pushed further and further away,
and her mind went blank.
Holding his phone, Antwan walked over calmly from not far away. He looked at the river
expressionlessly and sneered, "My arrogant Braden, I didn't know you were so stupid. I just tested it a
little, and he exposed himself. He's blind and stupid enough to jump into the river to try to save a
damsel in distress. That's not love struck. It should be love cancer. There's no way he can be saved at
all."
"What did you do? You lunatic, what exactly did you do?"
"Nothing. I just lied to him about something in the river. I wanted to test if he was blind, but he just
jumped straight down. How can you blame me?'
Antwan shrugged with a look of helplessness.
"Antwan Stewart, y-you're terrible!"
Alina's face turned pale, and she trembled as she lunged at the man. "He's your cousin after all. What
you're doing is murder!"
"Murder?"
Antwan grabbed Alina's hand and smiled coldly and cruelly. "He jumped down himself. It's none of my
business. If you think I’m guilty, call the police to arrest me immediately, okay?"
