Chapter 500 - 500: A True Friend or A Traitor? (1/2)

”Dr. Gomez?” Elle murmured to herself the moment her eyes found that familiar face.

She never imagined that she would be able to bump into him in this place.

'What is he doing here? Is he working for the Dark Lord as well?'

After a while, Dr. Gomez also noticed her presence. He was talking to a girl who looked like a nurse because of her white uniform. That's the reason he didn't see Elle right away.

A shade of shock and disbelief was written all over his face when he saw Elle. Just like Elle, Dr. Gomez didn't expect to see her in that place. Their eyes met, giving each other a questioning gaze.

Many questions were running to Elle's mind now. She didn't know what to feel right now.

'Was he the person who betrayed Erick's team?' Elle clenched her fists instinctively.

She was hurt by this revelation. Erick treated Dr. Gomez not only as a friend but also as his brother. What if he was the one who betrayed Erick's team? What was his relationship with the Dark Knight Organization?

Elle immediately looked away and walked past them as if she didn't know Dr. Gomez at all. Dr. Gomez, on the other hand, stopped on his track as he turned around and watched Elle's retreating back.

Her hands were not tied but Dr. Gomez noticed the two bodyguards guiding Elle to her room. From that observation alone, Dr. Gomez could tell that Elle was being held captive here. She's not a visitor but a prisoner.

'Why it has to be Aliyah Ross? What do they need from her?' Dr. Gomez asked himself.

”Doc, Let's go. Senator Mondragon is already waiting for us.”

The nurse called him out as she noticed that Dr. Gomez was not following her. He just stood there looking in the direction where Elle vanished from his sight.

Dr. Gomez apologized for the delay. He nodded at her with a smile before they continued walking towards the hall where Senator Mondragon was waiting for them. Today was his scheduled monthly check-up with Dr. Gomez.

The Dark Lord was a very important person for both the government and the Dark Knight Organization. So he was also meticulous in terms of his health. He wanted to maintain his good health. And Dr. Gomez was his personal doctor.

Mr. Gomez tried to bring up the topic of Aliyah Ross during his conversation with Senator Mondragon but he refused to talk. He didn't get much information from him. Later on, he gave up and just focused on examining Senator Mondragon.

Meanwhile, Elle was back in her prison room. She was just lying on the bed while staring blankly at the ceiling. She was a little bit shaken after seeing Dr. Gomez. She was very worried about Erick.

She didn't know what's going on here. She wanted to know why Dr. Gomez ended up working under the Dark Knight Organization.

”Is he aware of the Dark Knight's operations? Is he the real spy and traitor? Damn! What if the Dark Lord will use Dr.Gomez to harm Erick?”

Elle sat up from that thought. She became anxious and restless. Though she was the one who's being locked up inside the Dark Knight Organization's hideout, she was more concerned about Erick's safety.

”Erick will be hurt once he learns that his doctor friend, Dr. Gomez is related to the Dark Knight Organization.” Elle tugged her hair. She felt like her brain was going to burst right now.
