Marrying A Secret Zillionaire: Happy Ever After Novel

Chapter 745: Dustin quickly gave him the scheduled time-early evening. Then his eyes widened. "Wait, are you going to the airport?"

Collin's face was pale and hollow, shadowed with pain. His eyes were empty of light.

"Yes. Gorman is my only lead to Linsey. I need to see for myself," he said with a heavy heart.

Dustin knew instantly that Collin couldn't be swayed. When it came to Linsey, Collin's determination was absolute. Nothing could stop him.

"Alright, then. I'm coming with you tonight," Dustin said.

He couldn't bear to let Collin face this alone.

If Gorman showed up with Linsey and a child, he worried Collin might lose it right then and there.

If that moment came, Dustin hoped he would be able to hold Collin back from doing something he would regret.

"Are we still heading back to the venue to hear the results?" Dustin asked tentatively.

Collin placed the bottle down and stood with a blank expression. His tone was flat. "No. I'm going to shower and get myself together."

The smell of alcohol clung to him.

He thought of the chance-however small-that he might see Linsey tonight. And if that happened, he didn't want her to smell liquor on him.

"Got it. I'll wait for you," Dustin said, slightly relieved to see Collin stop drinking.

At least now, Collin was moving, doing something, rather than sinking deeper into despair.

Ten minutes before the competition results were to be announced, Dolores managed to bring Linsey back just in time.

Inside the Davidson Group's resting lounge, Caylee was already waiting.

The moment Linsey walked through the door, Caylee rushed to her. "Linsey! Are you okay?"

Though still pale, Linsey offered a faint smile. "I'm alright. Don't worry too much."

She gently pulled away from Dolores's steadying hand. "I can walk on my own now. You don't have to keep holding me."

Dolores shot Linsey a stern look. "You're being stubborn again. Sit down on the couch. Don't just stand there."

Caylee quickly nodded. "Yes, please sit. They're about to announce the competition results."

Linsey obeyed and sank onto the sofa. As her eyes drifted toward the still-dark screen, something clicked in her mind.

"Gorman and Zenia's flight lands tonight. Once this is over, we need to head to the airport to pick them up," she said suddenly.

Dolores let out a helpless smile. "Gorman's a grown man. Does he really need you to pick him up? You're still recovering. You should go straight to your hotel and rest after this."
