Chapter 201 I Am Her Bodyguard
After driving for more than thirty kilometers, they finally arrived at Eldham Town. Courtney sat in the passenger seat. She had fallen into a deep sleep with dried tears still staining the corners of her eyes.
Although Alexander couldn’t bear to wake her up, he knew that they were pressed for time. They needed to finish things here as quickly as possible. Therefore, he shook her by the shoulder to wake her up after parking the car. “Courtney, we’ve arrived.”
In response, she opened her eyes and stared at him drowsily for a long while before looking out the window dazedly as if she was still dreaming.
The sun outside was so strong that it could almost burn one’s skin. She had only taken several steps after getting out of the car when she felt a cool shade above her head. Lifting her head, she saw him holding a black umbrella next to her. He candidly asked her, “Where are we going?”
She pulled her focus back to the present and pointed to the grocery store in front of them. “There. Cameron told me to contact the owner of the grocery store. This store is the only place in this town that has a public phone.”
Lisboa was never a prosperous land due to its topography, and Eldham Town was all the more so. It was a place so poor that even the birds did not visit it; it seemed to retain the economic development situation and living standards from the last century. Fishermen squatting by the door basking in the sun and smoking homemade cigarettes could be seen everywhere.
Courtney introduced herself to the owner of the grocery store, Mr. McCullough. After her introduction, Mr. McCullough quickly recalled that she was the woman he had spoken to on the phone before. Thus, he asked his wife to watch the store while he led Courtney and Alexander to look for Bill Dawson. “Bill lives by the seaside. He’s a strange fellow; he doesn’t interact much with people in town.”
“Really? How is he strange?” Courtney followed behind the owner and curiously inquired about the designer, Bill Dawson.
“He doesn’t want to live a good life in the city. Instead, he returned to this poor place to suffer. Doesn’t that make him strange?”
Upon hearing those words, she smiled. “Mr. McCullough, there are many people like that. The city is too noisy. I’m sure there are perks to coming back to the countryside to live.”
