Chapter 739 What Was So Special About Swinford
“What?” There was a pause on the other end of the line.
Continue the delivery? He couldn’t believe his ears.
Meanwhile, Wynter had handed the phone back to Eloise.
“According to what you just said, the person receiving the goods will definitely contact you.” Her tone. was cold. “In your line of work, there should be a clear point of contact.
“I just checked your call history, and it’s been thoroughly wiped clean. How often do you usually contact
each other?”
Eloise hadn’t expected Wynter to figure this out too. “Every three hours.”
Eloise looked at Ezra. “If they can’t reach Ezra, they’ll call me.”
As soon as she finished speaking, Ezra’s phone started ringing.
Eloise looked flustered.
Wynter raised an eyebrow. “Answer the call and say something came up. Someone bumped into a few ghosts, but it won’t affect the delivery.”
Eloise wanted to resist, but she was afraid that those children who would bite people would come after her again if she didn’t comply, so she answered.
A voice on the other end sounded irritated. “What’s going on? Where’s Ezra?”
Eloise repeated what Wynter had told her.
The person on the other end grumbled, “What? I don’t care about ghosts. If it won’t affect the delivery, hurry up and come. Be more vigilant on the way. The boss is getting impatient.”
Eloise relayed the information quickly, and the person hung up without much thought.
Wynter chuckled lightly. “Well done. Now, tell me, what kind of secret code do you have? When we get off the train, I’ll join you in making the delivery.”
Eloise widened her eyes in shock. Only now did she realize what Wynter was up to.
If she couldn’t find out who the contact person was, she would blend in with the delivery people and see who ultimately received these children.
What concerned Wynter was that these children were being sent to Swinford. What was so special about Swinford that could possibly make war criminals suppress a heroic spirit? And what was the deal with these children?
All these questions would only be answered once they reached Swinford.
Back in the berth, Wynter glanced at Cody, then at the pendant in her hand.

Eloise had said that she met the medium on this train.
Wynter’s eyes darkened. It seerned that absolute control over the information might not be possible. She could only take a gamble now.
The next three hours were uneventful. Everyone went to sleep after discussing the recent incident.
Dalton stood aside, looking out of place in the berth.
Wynter told him to rest for a while. Given his delicate physical condition, he might catch a cold again if he didn’t rest and would need to rely on root herbs to replenish his energy.
Dalton didn’t expect himself to be such a clean freak.
He could restore his true nature, rendering himself impervious to the surrounding environment, but that also meant he would be exposed.
So, he had no choice but to maintain his weak image and sit awkwardly on the lower bunk, feeling very uncomfortable.
It wasn’t until a tired Wynter accidentally leaned her head on his shoulder that a faint smile appeared on his handsome face.
Compared to his earlier tight expression with a furrowed brow, Dalton’s eyes now held a hint of indulgence that he had never had before.
With his fingers entwined in Wynter’s long hair, he quietly watched her. Then he landed his thin lips on her eyes, as if kissing but not quite.
“You probably didn’t expect us to meet again. I didn’t expect it, either, but our current relationship is quite interesting, isn’t it?”
Wynter didn’t hear Dalton’s words.
When she woke up the next day, the train had already arrived at their destination–Swinford.
