hapter 398 He Must Have Found Something
Freya’s heart clenched in pain. “I’m sorry, Maddox. Don’t worry, I will definitely find a way to get you
but…
Maddox did not let Freya finish speaking and forcefully pushed her away.
“Don’t say this nonsense again. I’ve heard you say it so many times recently. If you really have the ability, then hurry up and help us escape. You always say these things, but have you actually done anything? I’m still here, am I not? Your words imply that I haven’t been working or studying the medical records! Don’t pretend to be kind-hearted. If I die, it’s because of you!”
Lucius, who stood behind the desk not far away, slammed the medical records in his hand down onto the table and angrily approached them.
“Why are you throwing a tantrum, Maddox? Have you forgotten how Miss Kaufmann helped us before? Are you a fair-weather friend?”
Maddox’s glasses hung on the tip of his nose, and there was a very dark look in his eyes.
He widened his eyes, which highlighted just how bloodshot they were, and shouted as he grabbed Lucius”
collar.
“Do you think I want to do this? I just want to survive! When have I ever enjoyed your fair-weather days?, When I received the award and when others congratulated me on the contributions I made, I kept saying it was Miss Kaufmann they should be congratulating. I have already repaid her enough!”
Freya stood silently by. Indeed, Maddox was not a bad person, and his moral conduct was even better than many others.
Due to her guilt, she had been very gentle with Maddox recently, but now…
Freya pulled Maddox over. Although she had been taking the medicine given by Jamie every day and had little strength in her arms, she still managed to push Maddox back onto the sofa.
“The current situation is indeed my fault. I have also promised to find a way to help you escape, but now, if you want to survive and get out, you must listen to me!”
Freya gritted her teeth. “Otherwise, I don’t mind leaving you to rot! I’ll just compensate you in my next
life!*
She had to take control of the situation now in order to have any hope of survival!
Maddox stared at Freya, and after a long time, suddenly burst into loud sobs.
“I know I shouldn’t hate you. I should hate the person who kidnapped us, but I also know that I was captured because of you. I don’t want to die, Freya. Even though I’ve witnessed life and death many times. as a medical worker, I don’t want to die.”
Freya sighed softly and gently held Maddox’s hand.
She lowered her voice. “Can you trust me one last time? Just like when we were researching diseases, I will definitely find a solution.”
Lucius stood angrily on the side, not saying a word.

Russell walked over. “Maddox, in our current situation, our first priority should be to solve the problem. You’re an adult. You should understand that.”
In the end, Maddox left and returned to his bedroom.
Freya watched him go and made up her mind.
If necessary, she would sacrifice herself rather than involve the others.
Caltun.
Conference room of the Kaufmann Group.
Radley, Braxton, and Inken sat at a conference table.
All three of them did not look well with their gloomy faces and the heavy aura looming over them.
“What’s going on with Matthew? He has been missing for three days!” Inken frowned and looked at Braxton. “Aren’t you friends with him? Have you tried contacting him?”
Braxton’s face turned pale, and his voice was low. “I called the Hood family several times. Both the Hoods and the people from his company said that he went on a business trip out of town. It seems that a problem cropped up in one of the Hood Group’s branch offices.”
Inken scratched his head. “Fine. He never keeps us informed anyway. Recently, I’ve thoroughly investigated every inch of the city. I can confirm that there was absolutely no one from LEV in the state. As for the rest of Florin, we have conducted searches at many train stations, airports, and ports. There are not many places left now, and I suspect that the person might have taken Freya out of the country.”
Radley’s face turned cold. “It will be troublesome if they are really abroad.”
Inken nodded. “Yes, the previous base of LEV was in Italy, but that base has been destroyed. Now, their whereabouts are unknown. They could be anywhere in the world, and many of the nearby countries where the kidnapping happened are embroiled in war. It’s impossible to conduct a thorough search.”
Radley said, “Then we’ll search every inch of the land!”
His hands clenched into fists. Since Freya disappeared, he had been constantly plagued by anxiety.
He could search every inch of the land, but he was afraid it might be too late when he eventually found Freya.
Braxton’s eyes were full of gloom. “Those people clearly want that book very much, but they haven’t sent anyone to get it.”
Inken frowned. “Braxton, do you know where that book is now? Maybe we can take the initiative and use that book to lure them out.”
Braxton shook his head. “Freya knew the importance of that book and knew that those people were after it. She refused to give it to me. Now, only she knows where the book is.”
For a few seconds, the office was silent. Radley raised his head with determination shining on his face. “That book is with me.

He had asked Freya several times for the book so that he was the one guarding it, but she had always refused. However, she finally agreed the last time he asked.
Inken and Braxton both looked up at Radley at the same time.
“This time, I will come up with the plan.” The man’s face was icy.
Inken said. “If we want those people to reveal their true colors, we must ensure that everyone knows that the book has appeared.”
Radley nodded. “I will hold a global auction for The Compendium of Medical Wisdom.”
Braxton frowned. “Auction? Freya considers that book a treasure. She definitely wouldn’t agree with that.”
Inken pondered on the side.
“I remember Freya said that when the book was auctioned before, the auctioneer did not realize its value and treated it as a simple antique, so it was only sold for a few hundred thousand dollars.
“When we auction it this time, the three of us will be present. With the funds of our companies, we won’t let it end up in someone else’s hands. However, in the eyes of the public, that is something only worth a few hundred thousand. If someone keeps bidding on it…”
Braxton understood Inken’s meaning. “That person must be connected to those people!”
“Yes, even if they send someone who is innocent and clueless, we will still have a lead!”
After the meeting. Radley left the Kaufmann Group and got into his car. Connor turned around and asked, “Mr. Monaghan, are we going back to the company now?”
Radley’s face was grave.
“We’ll be heading to the Hood Group.”
Matthew knew Freya’s mind very well, so he would never just give up. Hence, it was absolutely impossible for him to leave at such a crucial moment just because of some trouble at a branch office.
He must have found something!
