Chapter 539

Author: Hauling Treasures
After all, Haley hadn’t yet figured out exactly what to do.

“Emma’s parents are still around, aren’t they? If we can’t touch her in Haven State, we can use them to lure her abroad. Once she’s out of Justin’s territory, it’ll be much easier to take action.”

Even if Justin saved her, she refused to believe he would hand Emma over just for her sake.

Emma had been missing for three years, hadn’t she?

She could make her disappear even longer. A whole family—reunited in the same fate.

“I’ll take care of this,” Zac volunteered. “Her parents work in Haven State. Even if they move to another province, I have connections. Getting them laid off is easy. The tricky part is figuring out how to make them ‘willingly’ leave the country.”

To him, Emma was nothing more than a classmate he never cared about. If it weren’t for Justin, he wouldn’t have even spared her a glance.

And now, she had spent money to hire someone to kill his wife’s sister.

If he didn’t step in, his wife wou

    “No need!”Justin stopped by the car door, his voice firm as he rejected her. His mother had never liked Emma and had never wanted her to be part of the Yates family. Naturally, even in death, she wouldn’t have wanted Emma sending her off. The only person Heidi had ever truly acknowledged in her final days was Haley. If anyone should be there, it was her. “Justin, Aunt Heidi always looked after me when she was alive. I know she could be harsh sometimes, but I truly believe she meant well, and I appreciated it. Please, as her junior, at least let me say goodbye.” Emma’s eyes were filled with pleading. She wasn’t about to let this opportunity slip away. Even in death, Heidi could still be useful to her. It had been so long since she last saw Justin. If she didn’t get close to him, how could she gain access to the project's base price and proposals? She still had to find a way to marry him. “Heidi, you never wanted me in the family, did you? Don’t worry. The day I

    By the time Emma arrived at the funeral home, Justin was nowhere to be seen. It looked like he had already taken Heidi’s body inside. She got out of the car and searched around but couldn’t find him near the cremation area. The upper floors were restricted to VIP families, and without a relative to escort her, she had no way of getting in. Left with no other choice, she returned to her car and continued waiting. As long as Justin’s car was still in the parking lot, it meant he hadn’t left yet. Justin didn’t proceed with the cremation right away. Instead, he chose to have his mother’s body placed in cold storage. He refused to believe she had taken her own life. Someone had killed her. Could that person be the same one who had ordered the attack on Haley? The two incidents felt connected. Resting his hand on the edge of the storage chamber, he took one last, heavy look at his mother. His eyes were filled with grief and determination. With a firm push, he

    Lily had grown up with Heidi and knew her sister’s proud and domineering personality all too well. There was no way she would have taken her own life over some woman her son was involved with. The reporters online were full of nonsense. It wasn’t as if her husband, Henry, had cheated on her. He had been dead for years. She was the matriarch of the family. Was she really supposed to be bullied to death by some random woman in her son’s life? Lily didn’t believe it. At the same time, she blamed Justin for not keeping his personal affairs in check. How had his mess managed to drag her sister into it? Still, no matter how much she resented the situation, she couldn’t say it out loud. After all, Justin wasn’t her son. The media loved to stir up rumors, but gossip always needed a spark to ignite. If those two women didn’t exist, would the reporters have had anything to write about? “I understand, Aunt Lily. My mother would never take her own life. I’ll find out the tr

    It was early afternoon, and Alex was taking his nap. As he slept, he had a nightmare. He dreamed that his mommy had fallen, broken her leg, and became permanently crippled. In the dream, he burst into loud sobs. His crying quickly drew the attention of Chase and Richard, who rushed into the room. “What’s wrong, Alex? Why are you crying? Did your leg cramp up in your sleep?” Richard asked anxiously, immediately reaching out to rub Alex’s leg. Since Alex trained every day, he sometimes got leg cramps while sleeping, especially during growth spurts. But ever since he had been given a few doses of their lab-developed nutrient shots, the leg cramps had stopped. Even so, Richard was worried. His hands didn’t stop massaging as he tried to soothe him. He was the only adult in the house today. Just in case something unexpected happened, he had brought a few nutrient shots with him. He got up, ready to grab one. Before he could, Alex reached out with his chubby littl

    Evelyn shot Helen a quick look. Helen immediately shut her mouth. Turning back to the screen, Evelyn spoke in a coaxing tone. “I called you from upstairs, but no matter how much I called, you wouldn’t wake up. So, I had no choice but to come to the hospital alone.“If you don’t believe me, you can ask your Uncle Richard,” she added, completely straight-faced. Alex turned to Richard, who was sitting beside him. “Uncle Richard, is that true? Did Grandma really try to wake me up?” Richard was speechless for a moment. “Yes, I saw it. You were sleeping like a little pig,” he added.“Ahhh—!” Alex wailed dramatically. Chase sighed, unable to watch anymore. How could his little brother be this gullible? Even such an obvious lie had fooled him? “Alright, enough wailing.” Evelyn cut in, handing the phone over to Haley. “Your mom’s right here. You two can talk.” She knew that Alex just missed his mom. There was no need for extra words—letting them see each other was t

    However, Haley couldn’t leave the hospital just yet. Emma was still a threat, and until she was dealt with, Haley didn’t want to risk putting Chase and Alex in danger. The safest way to protect them was to eliminate the threat at its source. After all, Emma still had no idea she had two sons.“Have you decided what to do about Emma?” Evelyn asked. Of course, she hadn’t come to the hospital just for a visit. She had already learned the results of Richard’s investigation at home. Now, she was here to hear Haley’s plan. The daughter she had raised wasn’t some naive girl sheltered from the real world. “Mom, I want to handle this myself.” Haley replied firmly. She had always preferred to handle things on her own, especially when it came to Emma. Their feud ran deep, going back five years. If she had known back then just how ruthless Emma could be, she never would have let her live after regaining her memories. If it weren’t for Justin saving her this time… “Al

    After turning off the engine, Emma got out of the car and walked to the elevator. The screen above showed the most recent stop—the VIP luxury inpatient ward. She pressed the button and took the same elevator Justin had just used, arriving on the same floor. Meanwhile, Justin made his way past layers of security and reached the hospital room door. William, familiar with the routine, stood guard at the entrance, watching as his boss stepped inside. Pushing open the door, Justin expected to find only Haley inside. But instead, there were four people in the room, and the atmosphere felt off—like a lively conversation had suddenly come to an abrupt stop. He greeted calmly, “Mrs. Walker.”Evelyn, sitting by the hospital bed, knew that Justin had just lost two family members in a row. She didn’t want to add to his pain, so she simply nodded in acknowledgment without saying more. His arrival cast a brief silence over the room. No one resumed their conversation. Sensing th

    “Emily, what happened to your leg? Did you get hurt again?” Emma’s expression was full of concern.However, deep down, she was secretly pleased. “Why hadn’t it broken completely?” she thought to herself. No one responded to her. Ignoring the silence, she kept talking to herself. “Today was the day Aunt Heidi’s case was officially closed. I went with Justin to the funeral home to settle everything for her. On our way back, he said he wanted to come check on you.” Emma provoked as she spoke, carefully watching Emily’s reaction. In her eyes, the so-called great artist, Haley, was still the same foolish, clueless Emily from five years ago. But Haley remained indifferent, her gaze calm and unreadable, showing no sign of anger. Surprisingly, Justin reacted even more strongly than she did.He immediately denied it. “Haley, I didn’t take her to the funeral home. She followed me there on her own. I didn’t even know she had come to the hospital.” His words hit like an invi

    Helen’s face started turning red, and she gave him a light slap. “Be serious, we’re in the hallway.” “Oww!” The moment she touched him, Zac doubled over, groaning dramatically as if he were on the verge of tears. Helen didn’t buy it. “Oh, come on. It wasn’t that bad.” She had barely tapped him! “It really hurts! If you don’t believe me, take a look.” As he spoke, he shamelessly started unbuttoning his white coat right there in the hallway, determined to show her his "injury." Helen panicked and quickly reached out to stop him, pressing his coat closed. The two of them wrestled—one trying to undo buttons, the other trying to fasten them back. “We’re in public! If you really want me to check, wait until we’re home tonight.” She was in a rush to pick up the kids and had no time to argue with him here. “Nope. You have to look now. It’s probably bruised, and you need to help me apply medicine.” “Medicine? You’re a grown man! Can you stop acting so fragile?”

    “Are Chase and Alex with you?” Evelyn asked.Haley glanced down at the two children in her arms and replied calmly, “Yes, they’re here with me.” “Is Justin at the hospital? Did he see them?” Evelyn asked. Haley hesitated for a moment, her eyes drifting toward Justin, who was standing not far from her. Then, she lied to her mother. “No, he’s not here. I heard he went to meet with a business partner this afternoon.” “Good. I’ll have Helen go pick up the kids.” “Okay.” After hanging up, Haley tossed her phone onto the bed without sparing Justin a second glance. She didn’t explain her plans for the children to him, nor did she feel the need to. Justin wanted to ask, but with Chase and Alex present, he held back. Haley lifted Alex from her lap, wiping away the tears on his cheeks before continuing her lecture. “Do you know who just called?” Alex sniffled. “Grandma…” “That’s right! You two snuck out without telling anyone. Do you know how worried she was?” She

    This was the first time Alex had ever seen Mommy this angry. She had never been like this before. He was so scared! “I don’t want Uncle Justin anymore… Mommy~~ hic… hic.”Alex cried so hard that he started hiccupping uncontrollably. No matter how angry Haley was, seeing her little son in such distress broke her heart. She pulled him into her arms, gently patting his back to help him catch his breath. At the same time, she scolded sternly, “I’m calling home right now. Someone will come and take you both back!” Justin had more bodyguards stationed at the hospital than she did. She didn’t trust him. The only way she could feel at ease was by keeping the children safe at home, surrounded by family. Justin and Chase both wanted to speak, but Chase beat him to it. “Mommy, sneaking to the hospital was my idea. This has nothing to do with Alex. If you want to discipline someone, discipline me.” Justin wanted to step closer but hesitated. He watched as the three of them

    Justin pulled Alex back from the doorway and spoke gently, “The medicine is out? Just press the nurse call button, and someone will bring more.” “Oh, okay.” Alex nodded obediently, looking up at him. He tugged on Justin’s hand, prompting him to bend down. Then, in a hushed whisper, Alex leaned in close and asked, “Uncle Justin, do you think my mommy is pretty? How about I introduce her to you as your girlfriend?” His question struck Justin right in the heart. Alex wanted to introduce Haley to him as his girlfriend! A blind date? If this was a setup, then this time, he was more than happy to be matched. He liked this "match"—very much. Justin’s eyes softened with warmth and joy as he gazed at Alex. He nodded and whispered back in the same quiet tone, “Okay! I like her a lot!” Hearing that, Alex broke into a delighted smile. Uncle Justin liked his mommy. He and Chase liked Uncle Justin too. Now, all that was left was for Mommy to like Uncle Justin! If she di

    “I want to stay with you, Mommy… Chase and I both do…” The more Alex spoke, the more pitiful he sounded. Thinking about the past few days without his mom made him even sadder, and tears welled up in his eyes before rolling down his cheeks. “Oh, Alex, don’t cry.” Haley’s heart ached at the sight of her youngest son crying. She pulled him into her arms, hugging him tightly to comfort him. She didn’t want to live separately from her children either. It was all Justin’s fault—stubbornly staying here and refusing to leave. If not for him, she wouldn’t have to feel so anxious just to see her sons. As usual, Zac was making his rounds, checking on the VIP patients. When he reached Haley’s room, he saw Justin standing alone at the door, with no bodyguards in sight. “Where is everyone?” he asked. Justin pressed his index finger against his lips, signaling Zac to stay quiet. With a wave of his hand, he dismissed him, making it clear that there was no need to check this room

    Laughter filled the hospital room, echoing into the hallway where Justin stood motionless, listening. His eyes stung, turning red at the corners. He heard it. He really heard it. Alex had just called Haley Mommy. And then—another name. Chase. His mind reeled. The first child he met at the elevator was Alex. The second was Chase. Twins. Two identical little boys. His breathing quickened. Chase had recognized him instantly. But why? There was no hesitation in the boy’s reaction. No shyness, no wariness. That wasn’t how a child acted when meeting someone for the first time. Justin stood frozen outside the hospital room, his mind racing.That day at the amusement park—when he had taken Alex out for the day…Something had felt off.That Alex had been quieter, less playful, not as energetic.Because it hadn’t been Alex at all.There had been two of them.They had been taking turns to visit him.Switching places right under his nose.How had

    Justin knew that the moment he pushed open this door, every doubt he had—all the questions swirling in his mind—would finally have an answer. And yet, he hesitated. He couldn’t bring himself to open it. The bodyguard standing at the door, noticing his hesitation, reached for the handle to open it for him. Justin instinctively raised a hand to stop him, then motioned for them to step aside. The bodyguards exchanged uncertain glances, unsure whether to follow his command. After a brief pause, they finally stepped away from the door. Justin had been at the hospital long enough. They knew he meant no harm to Haley. Inside the room, Chase carefully placed the fruit basket and bouquet on the bedside table, then pulled a tissue from his pocket. He wrapped the strands of hair he had collected and tucked them securely into his backpack. Alex had already set his things down. Now, he stood quietly by the bed, watching his mom sleep. Chase walked over, and Alex turned

    Justin glanced back down the hallway. Hadn’t Alex just walked away? Then who was this? Chase blinked, recalling how Alex usually reacted when he saw an adult he liked. Got it. With his arms full—a bouquet in one hand, a fruit basket in the other, and a backpack strapped to his back—he launched himself forward like a little cannonball, sprinting toward Justin. “Uncle Justin!” he called out in an enthusiastic, high-pitched voice, deliberately mimicking Alex’s tone. Justin crouched down to catch him, his arms wrapping around the small boy. He didn’t lift him up, though—Chase was carrying too many things. His sharp gaze swept over ‘Alex’ from head to toe. Same outfit. Same backpack. The only difference? This ‘Alex’ had his hands full. “Alex, what are you doing at the hospital? Did you come here alone?” The same question, asked twice in one day. ‘Alex’ shook his head, giving almost the same answer. “Nope, I came with Mommy.” “Oh…” Justin responded, waiting f

    Justin walked up to the elevator and pressed the button for the upper floors, waiting as the numbers on the display steadily climbed.The elevator ascended floor by floor, the digits flickering until it reached the VIP inpatient ward.With a soft ding, the doors slid open.Inside, a small figure stood patiently, a backpack neatly strapped to his back.As soon as the doors parted, Alex stepped out first.Justin was about to step in when—Wait.Alex looked up. Then up again.His tiny hands rubbed his eyes as if making sure he wasn’t seeing things.“Uncle Justin!”His face lit up with excitement as he threw his arms wide and practically launched himself into Justin’s embrace. “Uncle Justin, what are you doing here?” Justin had already crouched down the second the doors opened, instinctively ready to catch him. “Alex?”Alex wrapped his arms around Justin’s neck, nuzzling against him like a kitten. “I missed you so much!”For Alex, coming to see his mom and running into
