Chapter 630

He sighed and looked around, "I never thought I would end up in this

situation.”

"Cody, you're definitely innocent. You'll be released soon... but

unfortunately, the rest of us..." Dominick trailed off with a defeated look.

"We really did break the law."

“Let's not talk about that now. Everyone should get some rest," Cody

spoke again, feeling tired from taking his medication and lacking energy

to chat with them.

"Okay, let's call it a night."

"Get some rest as soon as possible.”

Suddenly, a guard's voice came from outside the door, "Cody!

Someone is here to visit you!"

Cody was just about to lie down when he suddenly froze. Was it

Brayden coming to see him?

But he knew that he hadn't been sentenced yet and visits weren't

allowed... so who could it be?

He struggled out of bed and put on his shoes.

As he walked towards the door unsteadily, the guard opened his cell

impatiently and gave him an icy glare. "Hurry up! What are you waiting

for?"

Cody wanted to move faster but any sudden movement caused pain in

his back where he had been injured earlier. It was excruciatingly painful

especially since he had developed a high fever.

His head felt dizzy and heavy; his whole body felt uncomfortable.

The guard grabbed him impatiently by the arm and pushed him forward

roughly.

He stumbled forward, almost falling down if not for grabbing onto the

wall for support. It triggered another round of his violent coughing.

"Damned unlucky!" the guard couldn't help cursing under his breath.

"You know what should be said and what should not.”

Cody remained expressionless as they continued walking. Every step

was torture for him at this point.

But despite everything else going on inside of him right now, all Cody

could think about was seeing whoever came to visit today...

After several minutes of dragging himself along with great effort through

sheer willpower alone, they finally arrived at visiting room where Cody

sat across from several young people behind glass walls...

His face betrayed shock when saw who they were: Brayden, his son;

Jenna, his goddaughter; Franklin and Sylvia...

"How did they come here? How is that possible?”

He slowly sat down on the chair and picked up the phone.

When Brayden saw his haggard appearance, his nose suddenly

tingled, and he quickly sat down and picked up the phone. "Dad,

Dad..."

"Brayden."” Cody spoke slowly. "It's snowing heavily outside. It's so cold

here. How did you guys come? Are you cold?"

As soon as he spoke, it was like before - a natural concern for others.

Hearing this made Brayden feel uncomfortable again. "Dad, I brought

some daily necessities for you. Don't worry. We'll definitely get you out

of there.”

"Silly child.” Cody sighed deeply. “I'm fine here; no one is bullying me.

Those who are locked up with me are my former colleagues. Don't

worry about me."

Sylvia had been standing next to Franklin all along; she looked at

Cody's pale face with a strange flush and couldn't help but frown

slightly.

If she wasn't mistaken, Cody was sick! He had a fever!

She snatched the phone from Brayden's hand in a hurry; Brayden was

somewhat unhappy about it because he hadn't even had time to speak

yet when Sylvia sounded anxious, "Cody, are you sick? Don't just tell

us good news without bad news; if you're sick, we can bail you out for

treatment.”

After hearing her words, Brayden was shocked, "Dad! How did you get

sick?"

He didn't doubt what Sylvia said at all.

Franklin also felt very uncomfortable seeing how haggard and

disheveled Cody looked now compared to how confident he used to be

as mayor.

"Cody," Franklin said as his lawyer now, "if you're really sick, we can

find ways to help treat your illness first. Your health comes first above

everything else right now. I'm your lawyer now, so please wait for our

message."

“It's just an ordinary cold," replied Cody, coughing and speaking, "The

weather here is different from Larro, so don't make such a fuss over

nothing. Who doesn't have headaches or fever sometimes?"

Jenna bit her lip tightly, "Godfather, you must take care of yourself well.

Master Franklin is an excellent lawyer..."

She had always been emotionally fragile, and seeing someone she

usually lived with become like that made her heart ache, and her eyes

gradually welled up with tears.

Cody loved Jenna like his own daughter, but now she felt so powerless.

“Time's up!" Just then, the jailer who had been monitoring Cody at the

door shouted loudly, "Get up quickly!"

Cody held onto the phone with reluctance. "Brayden, you guys have to

take care of yourselves!" He struggled to get up and in that moment, he

felt a sudden wave of dizziness.
