When Dexie woke up, her body ached. A nurse removed the needle from her hand and, when she opened her eyes, she asked in surprise, “Miss Hansley, are you awake?” Dexie wanted to move but had no strength left.

Even after struggling for a while, she still couldn’t get up. The nurse hurriedly said, “Don’t move; I’ll get you some water and help you up.”

She used cotton swabs and tape to press the needle tube she had just removed from Dexie’s hand. Dexie was leaning on soft pillows when she turned to pour water and asked, “Miss Hansley, are you hungry?”

Dexie was still a bit dazed, and instead of responding to the nurse’s words, she asked, “What happened to me?” The nurse said, “You had a very high fever. Thankfully, early detection prevented disastrous consequences.”

It turned out she had a fever. The day before, she went out to look for Danny and came back drenched. She felt uncomfortable and had no strength left before going to bed at night, but she didn’t expect it to be so serious. Su

    Gavin replied, “Yes.”He felt a little confused. Outside of family gatherings, the most frequent visitors to the Huxley family were the company executives. Luke never needed to give specific instructions. However, today he gave specific instructions. Who was the guest?However, Gavin only thought about it to himself and didn’t dare say it out loud.Dexie looked at Luke with a smile on her face and said, “Can we go downstairs for breakfast now?”Luke looked at her with a bitter expression on his face as he said, “I’m in a hurry to go to the office.”“Aren’t you going to eat?” Dexie froze for a moment and inquired.Luke nodded and said, “I still have something to do in the office.”“But... I got up really early and was busy all morning,” Dexie said, raising her head in a somewhat aggrieved manner and giving Luke a pitying look. Are you truly planning to skip breakfast?Luke stopped and said, “You and Danny should eat.”When she saw him like that, Dexie knew what was on his mind. She sai

    The sirens of 120 BPM sounded as the ambulance raced through the city center.As Dexie Hansley gradually lost consciousness while lying in the ambulance, she heard the voices of a doctor and a nurse.The nurse had taken her phone. Then she heard the nurse talking on the phone."Is this Dexie Hansley's husband? Your wife was involved in a car accident. She is currently being transported to the hospital, please...""Is she dead?"An icy voice on the other end of the line interrupted the nurse.Stunned, the nurse responded without hesitation, "No, not yet.""I'm very busy. Let me know when she's dead. I'll come pick up her body." "Hello..." Beep-Before the nurse could finish her words, the line was cut.Then, the disconnect tone was heard from the other end of the line, as if mocking Dexie for flattering herself.She also didn't know what had happened to her. As she lost consciousness, she could clearly hear every word spoken by Luke Huxley Dawson.Bitterly smiling, Dexies slowly clos

    "You can go." Luke said this to Miller and Warry, who were standing in front of him. After the two men left, Luke's face darkened significantly. Leaning back in the leather chair, his cold eyes darkened. Luke didn't believe that Dexie had truly accepted the divorce. How was it possible that someone who had firmly refused to divorce the day before, resolved the marriage in just one day and accepted the divorce? He thought. Luke sarcastically scoffed and ignored the divorce papers that Miller had brought. After suppressing the inexplicable frustration he felt, Luke searched for the official documents on the table and glanced through them. However, he couldn't register a single word he read. "Mrs. Huxley Dawson, are you leaving?" The maid asked when she saw Dexie coming down the stairs with her luggage. Everyone in the Huxley Dawson family knew about the strained relationship between Dexie and Luke. In addition, some members of the extended Huxley Dawson family even knew that L

    The woman was the secretary in Luke's secretariat office, and occasionally he would take her to his business parties.After taking her to a few parties, the secretary had become increasingly arrogant. When she spoke to others, she exuded an indescribable sense of arrogance and superiority. It was as if she was waiting to replace Dexie and become the young lady of the Huxley Dawson family. "Mrs. Huxley Dawson, she's here again." The woman slightly raised her chin as she looked at Dexie with disdain. She even deliberately emphasized the word "again." Looking at the woman, Dexies smiled and greeted politely, "Mrs. Wilson." Cindy Wilson looked disdainfully at Dexie's empty hand. Mrs. Huxley Dawson, are you not going to personally deliver lunch for Mr. Huxley Dawson today? Did you hear that the president had discarded all the food you made? Cindy did not hide her sense of superiority in front of Dexie, and her words were full of sarcasm and resentment. Out of respect for Luke, Dex

    Some spectators who had gathered couldn't help but laugh quietly when they heard Dexie's words. Although they tried to hide their laughter, Cindy could still hear it, and her face darkened. When Dexie entered the building, Cindy deliberately raised her voice to attract the attention of the other workers, intending to embarrass Dexie in front of everyone. However, Cindy ended up embarrassing herself publicly. She is only a secretary in the secretary's office, and she is not responsible for important work. While attending business parties with Luke, Cindy would only be taken if Luke needed a female companion at the event. After all, she had the best appearance and figure in the office. However, what Cindy thought was her advantage over others turned her into a joke among the rest. This interaction had turned her into a flirtatious employee and someone the president would take to ordinary business parties to entertain the businessmen he couldn't be bothered to personally deal with

    "Now that you've found out that I'm not twisted, do you no longer want a divorce?" Dexie provoked him. She knew Luke wasn't the type of person who would easily be provoked. However, he was also an extremely arrogant person who hated being embarrassed, which was characteristic of young and powerful men. She was pushing his buttons in front of many of his employees. How would he handle it? He would not accept it. As expected, Luke's face became stormier after speaking. He walked towards her. Dexie didn't wait for him to reach her. She turned around and headed to the parking lot. However, as soon as she opened the door, she was stopped. She looked up and met Luke's icy scrutiny. "Anything else you want to say?" She frowned. "What game are you playing?" Luke spoke with a deep voice. His voice was pleasant and deep, with the natural dignity of a superior. In the past, Dexie had enjoyed hearing him speak. Every word he said was a pleasant note, which had been extremely attractive

    One day, she vowed to herself that she would avenge the humiliation she had endured. As Cindy dwelled on this, her determination grew stronger, and her aspirations expanded. When she glanced up, she noticed that Luke Huxley had not followed Dexie to the Office of Civil Matters to complete the divorce. Instead, he returned with a somber expression.Cindy’s beautiful eyes subtly darkened as Luke Huxley approached her. She put on a pained expression, hoping to evoke sympathy from him.“Mr. Dawson...” Cindy began, but Luke Huxley remained silent, causing her heart to race. She gave him a sheepish look, blushing, feeling a surge of excitement that made her clench her fists tightly.She believed that Mr. Dawson had feelings for her. Why else would he not clarify things with Dexie when she misunderstood their relationship? Did it mean he had accepted it? Cindy could almost envision herself as Mrs. Dawson. With determination, she asked, “What did you tell Dexie when she came here?”Cindy sudd

    Perhaps it was the serious and sincere expression in his eyes that caused Danny to look at Dexie with a hint of doubt.Dexie let out a sigh of relief, then told Danny to lie down and said, “Sleep for a while. You need more rest to get better.”Danny nodded, but he was still a little worried, so he looked at Dexie.Dexie got up, covered him with the blanket, then leaned forward and planted a kiss on Danny’s forehead. With a smile, she said, “Go to sleep. Mommy will come back to my room once you’re asleep.”Danny nodded, then closed his eyes and fell asleep.After closing his eyes for a moment, as if he were still worried, he opened his eyes and looked at Dexie again.He felt relieved to see Dexie still looking at him with a smile.Dexie smiled and said, “Go to sleep.”Danny nodded. Dexie stroked the bed covers over him while humming a lullaby. Danny was exhausted, so he soon fell asleep.After Danny fell asleep, Dexie let out a sigh of relief and stood up.After experiencing intense an

    She was busy in the kitchen. After preparing the food, she went upstairs to see if the doctor had finished bandaging him. As soon as she exited the kitchen, she witnessed Gavin dismissing the doctor. Only a nurse remained at home. Tears welled up in Amelia’s eyes as she listened to the doctor’s instructions.Dexie hurried upstairs to see if Danny had woken up.This time, Victor was guarding Danny. He seemed to wait for Dexie. He looked at Dexie coldly and said in a frosty tone, “Miss Hansley, put the things at the door and let the servants in later to deliver them.”He addressed her as Miss Hansley in a polite and distant tone.Dexie had a terrible feeling in her heart and said, “Mr. Huxley, I know you must hate me now, but Danny has a special condition and cannot eat when someone else feeds him. It’s better to let me in. After he recovers, you can deal with me.”Her voice was very hoarse.As she descended the mountain today, she was shouting Danny’s name and crying uncontrollably. Th

    Dexie clenched her teeth and gazed in her direction. At that moment, she couldn’t be overly aggressive. Everyone believed she was the one who made Danny flee and sustain injuries. They and Luke might not let her in if she was too confrontational now. She believed she couldn’t take any chances.Dexie took a deep breath and looked at Ava. After trying to calm down, she said to Ava, “Mrs. Huxley, we can discuss who would be responsible later. Luke won’t let me off easily, so don’t stand in my way. I want to go in and see how Danny is. Since there are so many people inside, I can’t do anything to help Danny. I just want to see him. Besides, you have no right to stop me.”Ava scoffed at Dexie and said, “I am Danny’s grandmother and a member of the Huxley family, so why don’t I stop you? You are not welcome here and cannot enter under any circumstances. Luke also told you to leave. Now that Danny has been found, why are you still here?”Dexie was about to speak when the room’s door opened.

    Dexie took a deep breath, climbed the stairs, and left her bag in the room. She put on a pair of sturdy, non-slip snow boots and a thick down jacket, then grabbed her thermos and headed out the back door where Danny had also left.The warm water was for Danny to drink. When they found him, he would probably want to drink water.Dexie took a flashlight just in case, then went out the door.She was very careful as she walked along the road. She scrutinized the ground for footprints and the branches on either side for any clues left by Danny.Even though she was anxious, she needed to calm down. Finding Danny was the most important thing.After walking for a few minutes, she saw two small paths in front of her. Suddenly she froze in place and hesitated.She wondered, Which path did he take?Although Danny had autism, he was smarter and more contemplative than normal children. Dexie felt she couldn’t try to understand based on common sense, but should think, if I were Danny... what would

    As soon as Ava’s voice lowered, Dexie glanced at Gavin and asked, “How is the search going? Has Danny left this mountain?”Gavin looked at Luke and saw that he was still expressionless. He sighed and, without hiding it anymore, said, “We sent people to search and sent a drone, but... Danny is nowhere to be found. They have checked several checkpoints at the exit and consulted with the security guards. Danny never... Unless Danny escaped by climbing a wall at the foot of a mountain, he must still be on the mountain.”After Gavin’s statement, Dexie became even more concerned. She frowned and asked, “Are there no surveillance cameras? Look for surveillance footage and see what happened.”Gavin sighed and said, “except inside and outside the mansion, only a few mountain paths have cameras.” There aren’t many trails, and the nature of the mountain makes it impossible to install surveillance cameras everywhere.Dexie inquired once more, “What is the duration of his absence?”Gavin said, “It

    After Dexie spoke with Jessebelle and Noah, it was almost three-thirty. Seeing the time, she said, “It’s time for me to go back.”Noah said, “Alright, be careful and understand that your own safety is the most important, no matter what happens.”Dexie nodded and said, “I know.”Dexie had only driven a few hundred meters after parting ways with the siblings.Gavin called. Dexie was in a positive mood, so she answered the phone and asked with a smile, “Gavin, since you’re calling me now, could it be that you found something in the investigation?”Dexie was in a positive mood, but Gavin said with a desperate voice, “Ma’am, please come back soon. Danny is missing.”“What?” Dexie’s tone changed, and her heart started beating wildly.“Danny ran away on his own. We’ve been searching for a long time, but we still haven’t found him. Even though it’s not snowing, the outside temperature is extremely low, and the road remains icy. There are mountain roads outside, so I’m afraid that Danny might

    Danny’s expression was angry, and he frowned as he said, “Mom said she would be home before 3 o’clock. She broke her promise.”Ava sighed, with a look of distress on her face, and said, “Really? How could she break her promise? That’s unacceptable!”Danny seemed even more upset when he heard Ava’s words and said in a plaintive tone, “Mom promised me, so why hasn’t she come back? Did she fight with dad again?”Ava sighed and said, “She might not return, but she might have promised to be home before 3 o’clock just to console you.”I heard she promised you yesterday, but then she disappeared. She may have returned out of sympathy after seeing your tears. Danny, don’t feel too sad about it. Even if she’s not here, I can love you.”Danny shook his head with a look of grievance and said, “No, I want mom.”Ava repeated, “But... she’s not coming back, are you going to go out looking for her?”After hesitating for a while, Danny said calmly, “I... want to call mom.”Ava sighed and told Danny,
