"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.

    "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

    "Mom…" Natalie could only gently wrap her arm around Yvonne's shoulder, offering her some comfort in the quiet.Any other words, even if spoken, would seem to fall short in comparison.Yvonne lifted her head and blinked several times, as if she was trying to force the tears back.After a moment, she appeared to regain some semblance of control over her emotions and spoke again, "Jackson's body was sent for an autopsy. The police also checked his phone, but it had fallen into the river and wouldn't turn on anymore, so that clue has turned cold."Otherwise, they could have checked to see if Jackson had received any calls from anyone.That could have been a clue."Mom, given what's happened, all you can do is to properly grieve and wait for the police to issue a statement," Henry consoled Yvonne.Yvonne raised her hand and wiped her wet face again. She nodded slightly, saying, "It's just that I received this news so suddenly that I find myself somewhat unable to accept it."Even i

    Cesar's heart momentarily skipped a beat, but he managed to conceal his emotions. With a light and breezy smile, he placed a cup of coffee in front of Henry. "Mr. Chase, please enjoy the coffee."Then, he inquired, "What would you like to inquire about, Mr. Chase?""Why did you take my wife to that vacant lot alone that day, Mr. Cesar?" Henry picked up the cup and took a sip of the coffee.He then looked up at Cesar again with a friendly gaze, as if the topic they were discussing was nothing unusual.Of course, Cesar had his explanation at the ready too."Actually, I've been considering designing a villa myself, so I took Mrs. Chase there.""But your explanation seems to differ from what my wife told me, Mr. Cesar." Henry distinctly recalled that Natalie had informed him of Cesar mentioning Shane having something to tell her, and that was why she'd gone with him.Cesar certainly remembered what he had told Natalie, but he was also afraid that they would ask Shane about it too.

    Witnessing Shirley in such a state only deepened Harry's distress, and he simply didn't dare to tell her the truth, let alone show her the photos.That would be too cruel of him! Unbearably cruel!"Shirley, please, just hear me out for a moment…" Harry said, intending to offer her some comfort.But Shirley abruptly pushed him away as her eyes reddened. "Was Luke kidnapped? He was taken away, wasn't he?"Before Harry could respond, Shirley collapsed and cradled her head in utter despair. "I knew it… It wasn't a dream. It was real… Luke was really taken away!""Shirley…" Harry had barely reached out to touch Shirley's hand when she darted toward the front door."I need to find Luke! I have to bring my son back!""Shirley, don't do this!" Harry pursued her, but he received a sharp slap across his cheek when he grasped Shirley's arm."I'm going to find my son. What does that have to do with you? Why are you stopping me? No one should interfere!" Shirley's eyes blazed with a fierc

    Henry wheeled himself toward the pasta restaurant."Hello, sir," he respectfully greeted the chef who was engaged in his work."May I inquire about something?" he continued as he saw the chef slowly turn around."What would you like to know?" the chef patiently responded."Was there a photography studio here before this restaurant?" Henry asked."A photography studio?" The chef paused, searching through his memory. Then, he said, "I rented this space from the landlord. He mentioned that the previous tenant had to abruptly leave due to some urgent matters and even offered me a discounted rent."Though it was a brief statement, it provided Henry with valuable insights.The sudden departure of Evelyn's friend was likely not as simple as it seemed.Indeed, the abrupt disappearance of someone who was operating a business here was peculiar, wasn't it?"Thank you, thank you for sharing that with me," Henry said and nodded thoughtfully to express his gratitude. Then, he headed back

    Why was Harry here?Time sure flew by. In the blink of an eye, it had been almost three months since Shirley divorced Harry."Shirl, I'll excuse myself since the guest is here. Take your time!" her boss said and retreated to the nearby restroom.All of a sudden, the entire coffee shop fell quiet, and the atmosphere became tense.Shirley and Harry stared at each other, feeling as if time had come to a standstill. In the end, it was Harry who broke the silence. "Let's start.""Why are you…" Shirley still found it hard to believe."It's your birthday today. How could I miss it?" Harry offered a faint smile.Shirley wasn't sure how genuine Harry's feelings for her were at the beginning of their marriage. But she had to admit, Harry never missed any of their anniversaries, or her birthday during the time they were together.But she never thought Harry would still show up and celebrate her birthday with her after the divorce."It's my birthday, yet you're still making me draw

    "I see. Then I'll visit Cece after you return," Shane said as he cast a loving gaze at Natalie.As he watched Natalie leave, he couldn't help but feel a sense of gratitude and relief.Thankfully, he had realized life's true meaning before it was too late. And fortunately, he still had the opportunity to make different choices and correct his past mistakes. …When Natalie walked out of the Yoder residence, she headed straight to the car parked at the gate.She reached out to open the door, but she realized that she couldn't even grip the handle.But this wasn't the first time such a thing had happened.Whenever she tried to pick up a bowl, it would slip from her fingers and shatter on the floor.Whenever she attempted to hold a pen to sign documents, she could barely steady it, resulting in a signature that looked like gibberish.She found herself unable to perform even the simplest of tasks, and much less when it came to lifting heavy objects.Although Henry had been reassur

    Natalie didn't know how to respond to such a subject.Though she didn't harbor any resentment toward Celine, it was quite impossible for her to see Celine as importantly as she did Yvonne. Celine might be her biological mother, but she was still like a stranger to her—especially after years of separation.…With Natalie's intervention, the shareholders of the Yoder Group finally calmed down.However, it wasn't because they weren't wary of her identity as Shane Yoder's daughter, but rather, it was because of her identity as Henry Chase's wife.Offending her would also mean offending Henry Chase, and they certainly wanted to avoid that at all costs. Shortly after the chaos at the Yoder Group subsided, Shane finally regained consciousness.The moment he woke up, all he saw was Jonah busy taking care of him.Just then, Jonah was walking toward Shane with a wet towel in hand. He was startled to see that Shane was awake."Dad… " Overwhelmed with joy, Jonah called out to Shane.

Leonard's mind was racing, but he couldn't figure out what he had done to anger her.Nevertheless, he was ready to admit his mistakes and correct them accordingly."See for yourself!" Rachel picked up the book she'd thrown at him and tossed it to him.Leonard calmly took the book and noticed a striking headline on the book cover."Shocking! Former CEO of Velvet Star Entertainment Is the Boss Behind Sky Entertainment?"Well, the cat was out of the bag.Leonard cleared his throat and pondered on how to explain this to Rachel. But before he could say anything, Rachel spoke up instead, saying, "How could you lie to me?

    However, Celine wasn't aware that when she'd quickly run off, Henry had shown up at the other end of the hallway.Although Celine was quite far away, Henry could still tell that it was her.When Henry saw her, he briefly paused at wheeling himself. It was only when Celine's figure completely vanished at the elevator that he wheeled himself into Natalie's ward.He had just finished speaking with the doctor in his office regarding Natalie's condition. The doctor informed him that Natalie might not be able to hold pens for some time. And even if Natalie was able to take care of herself in the later stages of recovery, her hands might not be as agile as before. This news would undoubtedly be devastating to a designer who relied on her hands to draw sketches.On his way back to the ward, Henry had pondered how he should break the news to Natalie. However, he couldn't find an answer.As he entered the ward and wheeled himself to the side of Natalie's bed, he gazed at her with a

Celine's heart leaped into her throat as she waited.Luckily, Henry quickly picked up the phone this time."Mr. Chase, may I know where Natalie is right now? She missed my wedding today," Lavender anxiously said."She's in the hospital," Henry honestly told her.Lavender furrowed her brows. "Which hospital?""Community Care Hospital.""Got it. Thank you." Lavender hung up the phone. "What did he say?"

    Lavender's gaze lifted to Jonah's well-defined jawline.Jonah's eyes were notably luminous too, just like they were in their past.Lavender had always been captivated by Jonah's eyes. They shone so brightly and clearly, like stars that were her guiding light.With the microphone in hand, Jonah surveyed the audience before commencing his address, "As you've all witnessed through those images… The past three years have been exceedingly difficult for me. "Throughout that period, I was unaware of the extent of the disgraceful actions I'd committed, nor can I fully comprehend the turmoil those close to me have endured on my behalf.
