Delete My Love for You novel Chapter 226

At that moment, one of the security guards nearby noticed Darren chatting with Ryan and hurried over. “Sir, it’s time to trim the trees over there.”

Darren stiffened, glancing nervously at Ryan. He lowered his voice and whispered, “Ryan, think carefully about what your grandpa said. If you don’t… your friend Noah might not make it through the night.”

Seeing the guard approaching, Darren swallowed the rest of his words. Hunched over, he turned and shuffled off toward the bushes.

Ryan watched Darren’s stooped figure disappear, lost in thought. Why did this old man remind him so much of Mr. Harrington?

On the other end, Ryan’s voice trembled with urgency. “Mom, could you please go visit my friend Noah?”

Charlotte’s expression darkened.
