The head of Acme Group had been waiting at the hotel entrance early in the afternoon. Upon seeing Grace, he greeted her with great respect. "Ms. Lewis, I'm George Lockwood, Acme Group's president. Here's my business card." "Welcome to Dunhill, and thank you for choosing Acme Group." Grace nodded slightly and took his business card.The name "George" was printed on the golden business card. Grace smiled. "Mr. Lockwood, I've heard a lot about you." "Ms. Lewis, you're too kind." With that, George gestured for her to get in the car. "Welcome, Ms. Lewis and Mr. Fulton!"Grace and Xander got into the chauffeured car. As the car drove along, George enthusiastically acted as a tour guide, talking about the scenery and specialties of Dunhill until they reached the mine. George spoke hesitantly, "Ms. Lewis, although Dunhill is a small place, we're well-developed in mining, agriculture, and farming. Today, let's visit the mines first, and we can go to the farms later." "Thank
After speaking, Grace stood up and walked toward the restroom. However, she didn't notice that several pairs of eyes had been fixed on them, watching her walk away alone. The people hurried in the direction she had left. "Mr. Fulton, at Dunhill, besides the Soraya Group, only Acme Group has the strength to negotiate the million-dollar project with you and Ms. Lewis. What do you think of this partnership?" Xander didn't directly answer him, even though Acme Group was indeed their best option.He remained calm. "This partnership is important to all three companies, and we must be cautious." "After the investigation, both companies will develop a feasible plan, assess the risks, and then we can discuss the partnership further." Xander chose his words carefully. It was hard for anyone to figure out his plans.George had been in the business for so many years, so he understood what Xander was doing. "I agree! We can take it slow and steady! But Mr. Fulton, Acme Group will no
Xander found Grace's last known location using his phone. The signal had disappeared an hour ago. The location was within the mine."Continue searching. She must still be in the mine. Don't bother returning if you can't find her," Xander sternly ordered. Then, he immediately called Aaron. In less than half an hour, Aaron and Caleb arrived on a private plane with a team. A fleet of private planes flew by their side, creating a spectacular scene. Even George, who was accustomed to grand occasions, had never seen such a display and was surprised by Grace's identity.The people Aaron had brought with him had undergone formal training. They were more efficient and sharper than ordinary bodyguards. They had even brought search dogs. After the plane landed, Aaron, Caleb, and Xander gathered together.The three didn't say anything, but they shared a mutual understanding. They divided the teams and started searching for Grace one by one. "Caleb, organize the team to conduct a tho
"Keep searching. There are still two more mines. If we can't find her, we’ll get help from the military," Aaron ordered. Xander quickly stood up, ignoring how tired he felt, and entered the ninth mine with determination. God helped those who helped themselves. Finally, at 3:00 am, Xander found Grace in the last mine. Grace had been dehydrated and had lacked oxygen for over ten hours. She was already in critical condition.Xander carried her on his back. Climbing the stairs one at a time, he took Grace out of the mine. The medical team was already on standby, and as soon as Grace came out, she was urgently handed over to the medical staff for emergency treatment. Time passed slowly as Aaron and Caleb waited outside the emergency room anxiously. Even though they were exhausted from searching all night, they put aside their weariness and focused on Grace."Who the hell put Gracie in the mine? I’ll kill him when I catch him!" Caleb yelled angrily, looking furious. Aaron
After everyone left, relief washed over Kenneth, and he collapsed. Xander waved his hand, and someone dragged Kenneth away. The lights in the emergency room were still on.Xander, Aaron, and Caleb were anxiously waiting for news. It was almost dawn when the lights in the operating room finally went out. The three of them got up and walked toward the door. The doctor came out and took off the mask. Xander asked, "How is she? What's her condition?"The doctor sighed and said, "Her oxygen level was too low. Even though we saved her, she might not wake up." Despair filled Xander's eyes, his voice trembling as he asked, "What ... What are you saying?" "Mr. Fulton, our facilities here are limited. We can't do anything. Ms. Lewis is likely to stay in a coma." "That's impossible!"Caleb's eyes were red, and he said with determination, "Gracie won't stay in a coma! She won't." He refused to believe things would turn out this way. At this moment, Aaron's mind was in chaos.
Henry had never heard Xander speak in such a serious tone. He put aside his joking attitude and asked, "What happened?" "You have to save a life!" Henry understood the urgency upon hearing that one short sentence. He hung up and immediately got up. The beautiful woman behind him shouted, "Henry, are you leaving just like that?" Henry didn't bother to respond. "Everyone, go back and mind your own business." With that said, he ignored the calls of the ladies and arranged for someone to get a private plane.… After a two and a half hour flight, Henry finally arrived at the Dunhill Hospital. "Is that Dr. Henry?" "Oh my god! Am I seeing things?" "It's Dr. Henry!"Henry couldn’t care less about the fawning of the so-called medical team. He had already reviewed Grace's examination reports on the plane and had formulated a surgical plan. As soon as he got there, he changed into surgical attire and entered the operating room. The light outside the operating room lit
"Don't worry, I've never had an unsuccessful operation. Ms. Lewis should be fine now, and I believe she will wake up soon." Everyone felt a sense of relief after hearing this. Xander reached out and patted Henry's shoulder. "Well done!"However, the atmosphere took a turn as Henry tilted his head and rubbed against Xander's shoulder, saying, "Xander, I worked so hard, and all I get is that. Aren't you being a bit ungrateful?" Xander pushed Henry's head away and said, "Just ask for whatever you want. Even if it's the moon, I'll get it for you." Henry was delighted. "You said it. Don't go back on your word." With that, Henry yawned and said, "I'm so tired from the tedious work. I'll take a nap first and come get my reward later."Xander gestured for the bodyguards behind him to take Henry to rest. On the other hand, a group of doctors were gushing in the operating room. "How is this possible? Her brain was deprived of oxygen for so long, yet nothing happened." "This i
"Mr. Lewis, where I stay or go is none of your concern." Benjamin made himself clear. Aaron knew that it was futile to waste any words on Benjamin. "Mr. Hawkins, everyone knows to catch the next train when it misses a station. After all, the train won't turn back, even if you stay at the station. You should understand this logic." After saying that, Aaron left with Caleb. "Aaron, should we just leave him here?" Caleb was still reluctant to leave, but Aaron said, "What can we do if he doesn't leave?""But Gracie doesn't want to see him!" "We must believe that she will make the right choice. She knows who's worth spending a lifetime with." After hearing this, Caleb calmed down and said, "Let's hope so."… Meanwhile, Grace felt like she had been in a long nap and had a long dream. She dreamed of five years ago, the first time she met Benjamin. She was studying for her master's degree at Coronia University School of Design. It was her first time leaving home, and her
