"Cyrus Taylor!" The Taylors seemed to share the same trait of being sharp- tongued, or in other words, mean.
"Landon Harper, my decision not to contact you had nothing to do with trust. All T wanted was to eliminate any potential risk to rescue the hostage. I kept the information from you because Lauren was your girlfriend, and I'd do the same for other hostages, too.

"There's no need to thank me. I'm at the service of the people." Cyrus coolly waved his hand. "I don't want to argue with you over this matter. I bet you're exhausted after the journey.

For the first time, she felt wronged.
However, she quickly killed off that thought. She shouldn't have felt aggrieved when she had willingly decided to serve Landon.
After Cyrus was done addressing Landon, he walked away.
"Mr. Cyrus, I'll call you a man if you fight for Lauren openly. Don't you think you're despicable for making your way to Lauren using your job as a cover?"

Cyrus' remark rubbed salt into his wound. — | "Hah. I once thought you were nice and generous for befriending Jasper Beckett." Cyrus paused in his tracks.
He added nonchalantly, "Now, looking back; it was the other way around." With that, Cyrus whistled a tune and left. Landon's men stood in silence, intimidated by Cyrus' airs.
Meanwhile, a storm raged in Landon's eyes.
At that moment, the door to the treatment room creaked open dully. | Landon turned around and was shocked to find Lauren standing there.
