"Send me the location!" Henry commanded before swiftly hanging up the phone."What happened?" Harry questioned immediately as he sensed the urgency in Henry's demeanor."Natalie has been kidnapped. I'm heading there now! Remember to let me know if there's any news about Luke," Henry instructed quickly.He hurriedly wheeled himself away without waiting for any response from Harry.A profound sense of helplessness washed over Harry as he watched Henry's retreating figure.He pondered where things had gone wrong. Why had everyone's once peaceful lives suddenly been thrown into chaos?Just as Harry's gaze left the doorway, his phone rang with the sound of a text message.He checked his phone without hesitation and discovered someone had sent him a photo.He opened it eagerly and stood up abruptly the moment he saw the image clearly, with his eyes fixed on the photo before him.It was a photo of Lucas!Lucas was crying in the picture. His cheeks were puffed out red, and tears stre
Although Evelyn's death had occurred some time ago, any mention of her still seemed to cast a strange atmosphere.Harry didn't dare to probe too deeply.He was acutely aware of Evelyn and Felix's hardships and understood these matters well enough in his heart, so there was no need for further discussion.…Henry contacted Jackson once more after departing from Harry's place. Jackson provided his current location to Henry.Once the call ended, Jackson continued to conceal himself behind a tree trunk, closely observing the movements of a group of people not far away.These individuals were dragging the unconscious Natalie from a car and pulling her in a specific direction.Jackson kept his eyes on them until he noticed a building close enough.Despite the distance, the words on the large sign were visible to him—Eastern Wind Cold Storage.Was that a cold storage facility? Could these people be planning to lock Natalie inside the cold storage?The thought of this sent a shiver d
"You were brought here by someone. I don't know who did this, but locking you up here clearly means that they want you dead," Jackson explained as he gave a light sigh. He then glanced toward the door of the cold storage and said in a somber tone, "I tried to open the door just now, but it's locked tight. We can only wait for your husband to rescue us now."After hearing this, Natalie remained silent for a while.Although the conversation was brief, the information that she got from it was significant enough that she needed some time to process it.Cesar was right behind her when she had last been conscious at the vacant lot. Then, she was bagged and quickly lost consciousness almost simultaneously.It was clear to Natalie that the person most likely behind this was Cesar. And if it wasn't him, then she really couldn't think of any other possibility.But why would Cesar do this?She had only met Cesar once or twice and didn't remember offending him.So, perhaps the fleeting mu
"It can't be opened?" Henry asked as his suspicion about the cold storage intensified. An abandoned facility like this normally wouldn't have electricity, let alone be in operation.These signs pointed to something highly unusual."Then find a way to open it for me!" Henry resolutely ordered.The bodyguards immediately sprang into action, discussing strategies and potential methods to open the door.However, despite having tried out various methods, all their efforts still resulted in failure. Henry's heart was in turmoil as he observed them from the side.If Natalie was indeed inside, every moment she remained trapped increased her peril."Let's all put in a bit more effort!" One of the bodyguards said, trying to encourage the others.They then retrieved several iron bars from the car, intending to use them to force the door open.The door had already shown signs of slightly giving way. So, perhaps it could be opened with just a bit more effort."I'll count down from thre
"Natalie." Henry moved his wheelchair as quickly as he could to the edge of Natalie's bed.In that moment, he could acutely feel the limitations imposed onto him by the wheelchair.He found himself constrained when he desperately wanted to be by Natalie's side in moments like these. And his inability to protect her was all the more pronounced when she was in danger."How are you feeling now? Is there any discomfort? Hm?" Henry looked at Natalie with a concerned gaze as his hands instinctively grasped onto hers."I'm alright now… Just still a bit cold," Natalie said as she shook her head slightly.Despite having woken up, her complexion was still very pale.Just the thought that today's farewell could have turned into a permanent separation made Henry's gaze grow fiercer and colder."What exactly happened today?" Henry pressed, seeking any clues Natalie could provide. He definitely wouldn't let go of the person responsible for this.Natalie's expression grew serious at the menti
Cesar might have been somewhat reckless, and perhaps his actions weren't thoroughly planned, but fortunately, he had managed to erase all the evidence that could be erased.He figured that it couldn't be traced back to him as long as there was no concrete evidence that would lead back to him."What's the use of saying sorry? Henry Chase wants an explanation! Don't you understand what 'explanation' means after living for so long?" Shane said through gritted teeth.The manager bowed his head even lower."I checked, but I haven't found any useful clues. If Mrs. Chase was abducted from that vacant lot behind the hotel, then unfortunately, there are no surveillance cameras there…""Isn't that vacant lot also part of the hotel's property? How can there be no surveillance?" Shane rubbed his forehead in frustration.What was supposed to be a simple initiation ceremony had now escalated into such a debacle. It completely ruined Shane's mood!The manager pursed his lips, not daring to u
"Your matters are important too." Natalie insisted and took the initiative to grab Henry's hand.Then, she playfully coaxed Henry and employed a tone of voice she rarely used, saying, "Come on, let's get started. The sooner we finish the massage, the sooner we can rest. Do you want me to rest early or not?" Henry complied, unable to resist Natalie's persuasion. "Just don't tire yourself out, okay?" he said.So, it appeared that such an approach was indeed effective on men. Otherwise, Henry wouldn't have agreed so readily."Alright!" Natalie nodded enthusiastically, her spirits evidently lifted.The doctor had assured them that as long as Natalie's body temperature was gradually restored, there wasn't much to be concerned about.But just as Henry was about to push himself up, he paused and double-checked with Natalie, asking, "Do you really need to do this?""Of course! Stop dawdling! Hurry up and lie down!" Natalie urged.Despite having endured a harrowing ordeal that day, she
A crowd of onlookers surrounded the scene.Natalie immediately spotted Yvonne among the crowd and quickly pushed Henry's wheelchair toward her."Mom…" Natalie called out softly.Her arrival caught the attention of Hugo and Chloe who were nearby as well.After losing their only son, they were understandably in tears.Hugo momentarily ceased his grieving and furiously approached Natalie.He then pointed at her and accused her, saying, "It's all because of you! If it weren't for meddling in your affairs, Jackson would've never gotten killed! "Give me back my son! Give me back my son!"Hugo was close to hysterical, and his voice nearly broke as he roared at Natalie."Sir, the exact cause of your son's death still needs to be determined by the police. Let's not jump to conclusions and label it as murder," an officer nearby cautiously advised.But Hugo was beyond reasoning at that moment and loudly retorted, "What else could it be if not murder? My son's been afraid of water since
