Eden's expression brightened. "I'll mail what Lucian gave me to the usual place. Make sure to pick it up. He said it's from Sierra."The moment Noah heard this, he immediately stood up, excited. "I'll buy a ticket and head home right now. Don't... don't mail it to the usual place. Give me an address, and I'll come to you directly."Eden raised an eyebrow. "Alright."It was rare to see Noah care so much about something like this.Eden was already considering using Sierra to leverage him later on.After hanging up, Eden headed into the main hall.Alain and Skylar were chatting.As soon as Eden walked in, Alain stood up and pulled her into his arms. "You're done already?"Ever since they arrived in Rielton, he felt like he couldn’t keep her in check anymore.Her relationships, everything she did in secret... It all made him anxious.He was afraid she would simply disappear one day.That’s why he had to keep an eye on her. Otherwise, she’d just vanish when he wasn’t looking."Y
Back in the car, Eden leaned back in her seat, her cap pulled low over her face as she closed her eyes. She wasn’t sleeping, but her mind was busy planning.The weather was a bit chilly today. Alain quietly removed his blazer and draped it over her, careful not to disturb her.Horace, sitting in the passenger seat, glanced back at Eden. He had a lot of questions but hesitated to ask, unsure if she was asleep.After a moment of deliberation, Horace spoke in a low voice, "Alain, are you really going to let Eden reveal her status? She’ll be the center of attention once her medical skills are exposed. Eventually, her identity as Boss Griffith will come to light, making things even more dangerous."Alain stared out the window, his dark eyes calm, almost like still water.Horace frowned and continued, "Things are getting more complicated in the Steppe Continent. We need to head there soon. Also, I’ve received orders from the higher ups. We need to uncover the truth about the Sirona murd
Everyone in the living room was stunned by Eden's words.William was the first to react, standing up urgently. "No, you can't leave!"Alain's second uncle, Wallace Ward, quickly added, "That's right. You can't leave before everything is settled."Eden raised an eyebrow. "What's going on?"Helena snorted and said, "Drop the act. You used the Ward family fund to win the auction for the Bloodgod Herb, so naturally, it belongs to the Ward family. If you want to leave, fine. But only after you hand over the Bloodgod Herb.""Oh?" Eden said with a smile, turning to look at Alain, her voice ice-cold. "So, the Wards are trying to steal from me, huh?"Alain's expression darkened, a glint flashing in his eyes.But he quickly masked his emotions, walked over to Eden, and gently patted her head. "The Bloodgod Herb is yours. No one can take it from you."Helena suddenly slammed the table and stood up, furious. "Alain, don't forget you are the scion of the Ward family. Your main priority shou
Sinead turned and stared at Helena, making her increasingly uncomfortable.After a long pause, Sinead finally smiled. "Do you have any medical skills? Does anyone in our family possess great medical skills?"William frowned. "We're talking about the Bloodgod Herb. What does that have to do with medical skills?""William, you should stay quiet since you've never contributed to the family," Sinead replied coldly."Why you..." William started angrily but couldn't find the words to argue back.Ignoring him, Sinead focused on Helena. "The reason so many families are after the Bloodgod Herb is because it's essential in creating medicines that can treat various rare diseases."In prominent families like the Rieltons or other old-money families, they all have members over a hundred years old. That's why almost everyone has someone medically skilled in the family. They need the Bloodgod Herb to make medicine. Who among us is suffering from such strange diseases?""Doesn't Dad have the Se
"There are some things I know I shouldn’t be the one to say, Helena. But you leave me no choice," Sinead said, her expression stony. "Since your marriage into the Johnson family, you've taken plenty from the Wards to benefit the Johnsons, right? I believe it’s worth several billions at least. I also decided not to worry about what you’ve received from the Ward family's profits."But now, I think it’s best for you to stop coming back to the Wards so often. Don’t worry, even though you’re part of another family, I won’t take your shares away."Helena stared at Sinead in shock. "What are you saying? Are you trying to kick me out of the Ward family?""Listen to yourself. If you can decide who my future daughter-in-law will be, why can’t I help my father-in-law decide who to kick out?" Sinead said slowly."I..." Helena’s face turned red, leaving her speechless.She then turned to William.After a moment of hesitation, William finally spoke. "Even so, we can’t give the Bloodgod Herb to
Eden looked down, her cap shading her face. No one could see her expression, but they all felt the sudden shift in the atmosphere around her.She stood there like a demon rising from the depths of hell.Alain sensed the change too and whispered, "What happened?"Eden looked at him, her voice icy. "My grandma's condition has worsened. The hospital and research institute both ran out of a specific drug."Alain's expression tightened as he gently rubbed her head. "Don't worry. I'll make some calls."He then stepped outside, pulling out his phone.Eden stood there for a long time before finally lifting her head and leaving.Before she left, she turned and looked at the members of the Ward family with an icy gaze. Everyone who met her eyes felt a chill run down their spine.She turned away and left without a word.Alain made several calls, his expression darkening with each one. After hanging up the last call, he turned to Eden. "Someone took all the specific drugs from the medical
"How long will it take?" Eden asked."I'm not sure. The Agency doesn't control international flights," Liam replied. "But I'll do my best to get the drugs to you."Eden looked at Alain, then back at the phone. "Contact Arctic Hawk first."After hanging up, Eden walked over to Alain."Can you get someone from the Median Continent here in three hours?" They needed four hours to get from Rielton to Estburg. By car, they should be able to get back in three."If Arctic Hawk can get the drugs to Estburg in three hours, my grandma can be saved.""I can," Alain said, holding Eden in his arms. He could feel her trembling as her hands tightened. "I'll arrange for a private jet. Have your friend get to the airport right away."Eden nodded and turned to call Arctic Hawk. After explaining the situation, she agreed without hesitation.By the time Eden ended the call, Caelus had already driven the car over.Sinead had also packed their luggage and brought it out.She took Eden's hands. "Don
Eden instantly relaxed her tense body.The car was still speeding down the highway. Eden leaned back in her seat and closed her eyes, her earlier intensity fading away. Alain pulled her into his arms, and she immediately shrank, her fierceness melting into gentleness.Alain patted her back and said, "I'm here."Eden didn’t respond, but Alain could feel her warmth against his chest.He sighed. The only person who could make her let go of her pride and intensity was Sofia.He couldn’t bear to think about what would happen if they couldn’t save her.The car was very quiet. Even the usually talkative Horace was silent, sensing Eden’s anxiety and choosing not to add to her stress.Eden huddled in Alain’s arms, her eyes closed but her mind alert, anxiously waiting for updates from the hospital.Alain held his phone, monitoring the situation in the operating theater. Sofia wasn’t in immediate danger, and the doctors were watching over her closely.Suddenly, Alain’s eyes narrowed and
