Chapter 500 - 500: A True Friend or A Traitor?

"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.

She stood up and kept walking back and forth across her room. She was thinking about what she should do to escape safely or even warn Erick about the plan of the Dark Lord. She was aware that the Dark Lord would order his men to kill Erick and her.

Reflexively, Elle put her arms on her belly, gently rubbing it.

"Don't worry little Lee, Mom and Dad will protect you no matter what. I will not let anything bad happen to you.," Elle said, talking to her baby.

After saying that, a cold glint flashed through her dark eyes. She was so determined to stay alive, protecting Little Lee as well as Erick.

Elle sighed deeply, calming herself down. She needed to relax first. She decided not to jump to a conclusion first. If given a chance, she wanted to talk to Dr. Gomez. She wondered if Dr. Gomez would try to see her.

She also saw the confusion in Dr. Gomez's eyes when she met his gaze a while ago. It seemed that he was also shocked to see her. If that was the case, then Dr. Gomez might have nothing to do with this. He might be clueless about the reason why she was kidnapped by the Dark Knight Organization.

'I just wish that he will see me even for just a few minutes. I badly want to talk o him.'

It did not take long when Elle's wish was fulfilled. Dr. Gomez visited her in her prison room. The guard let him in. She didn't know what he told the guard but he just left the two of them inside.

"Dr. Gomez, why are you here?" Elle asked him.

"I came to see you and check on you," Dr. Gomez promptly responded.

Elle massaged her temples first before shaking her head. "I mean why are you here in this hideout? Why are you with these bad guys? They are dangerous people."

Elle was still hoping that Dr. Gomez was on Erick's side and would not betray him.

Dr. Gomez fell silent. He didn't answer Elle but she could see the conflicting emotions written all over his face at this moment. She knew that Dr. Gomez had no plan of sharing his story with her.

Elle could only sigh deeply. "I knew Senator Mondragon's true color now. He is not a good guy just like what other people are thinking. His good reputation as a senator is just a mask to cover up his evil deeds."Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #%!d(string=15596023506141605)/chapter-500-a-true-friend-or-a-traitor_%!d(string=51328545426833104) for visiting.

Dr. Gomez frowned after hearing that. "Don't talk like that about him. You don't know him." Dr. Gomez defended the Dark Lord in front of Elle.

Now, Elle was in doubt if they could still trust him. But she had no choice but to gamble with him.

"Are you a true friend of Erick? Or Will you betray him?" Elle asked him quizzically.

Dr. Gomez turned to look at her. The conflicting emotions a while ago already disappeared. He was now wearing an unreadable expression. Elle couldn't tell what's running in his mind. He remained silent.

Elle smiled at him bitterly. There was a hint of sadness in her eyes. Dr. Gomez also became her good friend two years ago. It's hard to believe and accept that the person you trusted was also the one who would betray you in the end.

"Erick and I… our lives are in danger. It will just a matter of time when Senator Mondragon will kill us both. Erick and I are in a relationship. He is using me because he wants something from Erick." Elle informed Dr. Gomez, testing and assessing him.

"Once he gets what he wants, he will still kill us. That's the true face of Senator Mondragon. If you are really a true friend of Erick, I will just ask you this one thing. Please… please protect Erick."

After saying that, the guard entered the room, asking Dr. Gomez to leave already. His visiting time was done. But before Dr. Gomez left, Elle leaned closer to him and whispered something. Dr. Gomez's eyes widened after hearing the last words she said.
