Chapter 630

He sighed and looked around, "I never thought I would end up in thissituation.”

"Cody, you're definitely innocent. You'll be released soon... butunfortunately, 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," Codyspoke again, feeling tired from taking his medication and lacking energyto 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 itBrayden coming to see him?

But he knew that he hadn't been sentenced yet and visits weren'tallowed... 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 cellimpatiently and gave him an icy glare. "Hurry up! What are you waitingfor?"

Cody wanted to move faster but any sudden movement caused pain inhis back where he had been injured earlier. It was excruciatingly painfulespecially 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 forwardroughly.

He stumbled forward, almost falling down if not for grabbing onto thewall 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 stepwas torture for him at this point.

But despite everything else going on inside of him right now, all Codycould think about was seeing whoever came to visit today...

After several minutes of dragging himself along with great effort throughsheer willpower alone, they finally arrived at visiting room where Codysat 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 suddenlytingled, and he quickly sat down and picked up the phone. "Dad,Dad..."

"Brayden."” Cody spoke slowly. "It's snowing heavily outside. It's so coldhere. 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 broughtsome daily necessities for you. Don't worry. We'll definitely get you outof 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'tworry about me."

Sylvia had been standing next to Franklin all along; she looked atCody's pale face with a strange flush and couldn't help but frownslightly.

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

She snatched the phone from Brayden's hand in a hurry; Brayden wassomewhat unhappy about it because he hadn't even had time to speakyet when Sylvia sounded anxious, "Cody, are you sick? Don't just tellus good news without bad news; if you're sick, we can bail you out fortreatment.”

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

He didn't doubt what Sylvia said at all.

Franklin also felt very uncomfortable seeing how haggard anddisheveled Cody looked now compared to how confident he used to beas mayor.

"Cody," Franklin said as his lawyer now, "if you're really sick, we canreplace ways to help treat your illness first. Your health comes first aboveeverything else right now. I'm your lawyer now, so please wait for ourmessage."

“It's just an ordinary cold," replied Cody, coughing and speaking, "Theweather here is different from Larro, so don't make such a fuss overnothing. 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 sheusually lived with become like that made her heart ache, and her eyesgradually 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 thedoor shouted loudly, "Get up quickly!"

Cody held onto the phone with reluctance. "Brayden, you guys have totake care of yourselves!" He struggled to get up and in that moment, hefelt a sudden wave of dizziness.
