Jordan parked in the Healthstone Hospital's parking lot. He had accelerated the car so much that the wheels were almost smoking.Jordan got out of the car and opened the door for Thaddeus. The latter had been silent the entire journey, his eyes fixed on his blood-stained hands. Jordan had tried to wipe it clean but to no avail."Mr. Holt, we've arrived at the hospital," he said. "I found out that the ambulance had brought Mrs. Holt here. Let's get out of the car."Thaddeus immediately returned to his senses. He looked up at his assistant and asked slowly, "Mr. Rhodes, how much blood do you think someone needs to lose before they die?"Jordan's heart dropped, and he quickly comforted him, "Please don't say that, Mr. Holt. If Mrs. Holt were dead, the people wouldn't have brought her here. She must be waiting for you in the ward. Let's go inside and have a look."Thaddeus was a man who had seen it all and wasn't afraid of anything. But right now, he didn't dare to follow Jordan insid

Jordan stepped forward, then heard the sound of the car door closing behind him.Thaddeus slowly caught up with his assistant. Of course, he would be sad, but he had to be by her side at a time like this, no matter if she was dead or alive. He couldn't leave her alone anymore. She had already suffered a lot after marrying into the Holt family.At this moment, a scumbag like him realized that he couldn't allow her to be alone anymore, even though he had already caused something irreparable to happen.Jordan stopped walking and turned to hold Thaddeus steady. As soon as they left the parking lot, several men in black suits stopped them.The men who stopped them were strong and muscular. They looked like private bodyguards.Thaddeus vaguely remembered that these men were the very same people who had stopped him from approaching Jessamine at the scene of the car accident. Back then, he was so preoccupied with Jessamine that he didn't have the time to wonder where they had come fro

Thaddeus' yell shocked Amy, and she stopped in place, not daring to move. She could tell that he was really angry now, to the point where he would even kill her on the spot.Initially, she was upset when he left her behind at the courthouse. Then, she heard that there had been a car accident nearby. And the victim, who was on the brink of death, was none other than that bitch Jessamine. The universe had finally helped her get rid of the thorn in her side.She was overjoyed. From now on, no one would fight Amy over Thaddeus anymore. Jessamine's children also wouldn't compete with Amy's son for their father's affection. She was now carrying the only descendant of the Holt family!Amy was so happy that she even went to the place where the car accident had occurred. She became even more excited at the sight of the pool of blood on the road. She had even forgotten the doctor's advice to stay in bed and made a restaurant reservation.Since this was her first day as Thaddeus' wife, sh

Cody was silent on the phone for a few moments. Then, he said, "I can only tell you that she's still alive, but things aren't looking too good for her. As long as Ms. Patton is still unconscious, every expert doctor who is here will have to keep watch on her. "Since her benefactor had already given the doctors his orders, they wouldn't dare to mess this up. That's all I can tell you. Please don't tell anyone else."Upon hearing that Jessamine was still alive, Jordan wanted to tell Thaddeus the good news immediately. But when he saw his dazed look, he knew that he would try to barge into the hospital if he told him. Those men would never let them in.Now that Jessamine was being rescued, there was no point in barging into the hospital. Rather than wasting their energy, it was better for him to bring Thaddeus to a quiet place and discuss their next move.Jordan drove Thaddeus back to the office and placed him in the lounge. Only then did he tell Thaddeus the good news. "Mr. Holt,

Thaddeus trembled upon hearing Logan's words. "Mr. Whitmore, you have to save her! Please!"Logan sighed, "As doctors, we want her to recover too, but she has suffered a traumatic head injury. Even if we do save her, she will most likely be in a coma. You have to prepare yourself."Thaddeus took a deep breath. "Mr. Whitmore, who called you guys there?"Logan was silent for a few moments. Then, he said, "You weren't the one who called us? No one besides you has such a big influence in Zenville.""It wasn't me, Mr. Whitmore. Right now, someone is stopping me outside the hospital. I can't even get close."As they talked, a nurse's panicked voice came from the phone. "Dr. Whitmore! Dr. Whitmore! It's an emergency! Hurry!"Then, Logan hung up the phone.Thaddeus' heart was in his throat when he heard the busy tone on the phone. He was uneasy at the thought of Jessamine fighting for her life and wished he was the one who had gotten hurt instead.…Late at night, a helicopter landed

Xander refused to believe that someone could be so unlucky. He kept talking by the bed, telling Jessamine about his stories in Hajera. He told her stories about Elizabeth when she was young, trying to bring back her will to live bit by bit.Jessamine was just 24 years old. She couldn't just die like that.When dawn arrived, Xander had already rambled his stories for most of the night. Even the doctors outside the ward took turns to rest.Jessamine had been unconscious for more than 12 hours.With every second that passed, the more desperate Xander was. He kept talking, "Jessie, please wake up! I'm your cousin! I heard that you've been looking for me. "Look, I'm standing right in front of you. If anyone dares to mess with you, I'll rip them to shreds and feed their remains to the fishes!"Jessie! Jessie!"Then, the ECG monitor sounded a warning. Xander quickly stood up and shouted at the door, "Doctor! Doctor!"Several doctors rushed into the ward. After the nurses brought Xa

At 10:00 am, Thaddeus changed into casual and discreet attire and walked to the emergency exit according to the map the director had given them. Sure enough, his journey was smooth.He muted his phone to prevent any disturbances. He was determined to stay with Jessamine, no matter what outcome awaited him.After walking through the cold corridor, he walked up the stairs to the ICU on the 19th floor, where Jessamine was being treated. When he came out of the stairwell and opened the door, he felt as if he was standing in the gap between the living and the dead. His heart was in his throat.To his surprise, it was eerily cold outside the ICU, without any signs of life. He walked forward, each step echoing in the corridor.There was only one ICU on this floor. It was a VIP room. Most people in critical condition wouldn't even be there. Clearly, the person who protected her was powerful enough to place her in this VIP room.Thaddeus stopped outside the ward. There was a small glass

Jessamine had never posted a single photo of herself in her tweets. Nor did she boast about her achievements in the industry. Everything she posted was about her life experiences or comments about the weather.She posted about flowers, delicious food, and her cooking skills. She was every man's ideal wife.But unfortunately, she fell in love with Thaddeus, an arrogant man who valued his pride more than anything else. Thaddeus clearly loved her, but he couldn't say anything pleasant to her. He also entangled himself with a lunatic like Amy.Jessamine had already given him a lot of leniency throughout their marriage.After sleeping for four hours, Thaddeus finally woke up. He stared at the ceiling of the ward and asked, "Am I dead?"Jordan quickly poured him a glass of water. "You're in the hospital, Mr. Holt. You've injured your knee and will need to recover for a while. Painkillers and antibiotics are in those IV drips. Have some water for now. The meal I ordered will be deliver

Thaddeus was dumbfounded. Why hadn't he considered using blood types to eliminate the possibility first?"My dad has type O blood."Jessamine's stroked his Adam's apple softly and deliberately. "My mom has type B blood, and I have type AB blood. Do you think it's possible that we could be long-lost siblings?"Thaddeus thought for some time and couldn't help but burst out in hearty laughter. It was impossible for someone with type B blood and someone with type O blood to have a child with AB type blood. What was he worrying about?At that moment, he couldn't believe how foolish he'd been. Biology was his best subject in school, yet he didn't think about this until Jessamine reminded him. His biology teacher would be furious if they knew."Why didn't you say so earlier, Jessie?" He regretted not talking to her about it sooner and ended up suffering in prolonged silence by himself.After Jessamine got bored touching his Adam's apple, she started playing with his rough chin. "I just

Jessamine lay still for a long time, aware that Thaddeus was also awake, battling insomnia just like her.This visit to Zenville to solve one mystery ended up bringing her an even bigger one.The gathering took place years ago in the restaurant owned by Benji's family. She had even asked Benji about it. The surveillance footage from over 20 years ago wouldn't be around now, and even the staff had changed several times. The restaurant's manager from back then had left the job many years ago.It wasn't easy to uncover the truth from back then unless they found the people who were directly involved. The closer they got to the truth, the more pressure she felt.By investigating this matter now, she was essentially peeling back the layers that had been hiding a much deeper issue. As she confronted the dark side of human nature, the ultimate victim ended up being her beloved mother.If Jessamine didn't look into this matter, she felt like she would be letting Elizabeth down. She wanted

Thaddeus frowned immensely at his request. "Don't be ridiculous!""I'm serious. You could help me rent one too. You know, the kind that charges by the day. I'll fool my dad first. We'll deal with everything else once he gets better," Benji said.Thaddeus cursed inwardly, "Dude, don't drag me into this, especially with my wife watching. It sounds like you're implying I have ways to get or rent women."Thaddeus glanced back at Jessamine and said, "I don't know about this. You should ask someone else. If you're at your wits end, go ask one of the assistants in your company to help you out."Benji seemed to come to a realization. He said, "It's getting late. You all should go back and rest. There are doctors here. I'll stay and keep watch."Jessamine asked, "Can you handle this on your own, Mr. Moore?""Sure, thank you… all of you," Benji replied.After saying a few more words of comfort, Jessamine and Thaddeus went downstairs to the car. Thaddeus' phone started ringing again."Mr.

Maya also knelt by the bed and started crying."Dad, don't speak for now. Please be okay."Benji zoned out. Seeing Carmen and Maya crying, his mind was in a mess. He realized that he couldn't continue to live aimlessly—his family needed him now."A girlfriend, a girlfriend..." he mumbled, not even sure of what he was saying.The doctor hurried to the room upon hearing the call, checked on Jonathan again, and then sent the family away."The patient needs rest and should avoid additional emotional stress. You all can wait outside for now. There's no need for everyone to be here, one would be enough. The room can be stuffy if there's too many people here, too."They then left the room. Benji was holding the X-ray images of Jonathan's brain, but he couldn't make any sense of it. He felt completely lost.Shane quietly slipped away from the crowd after watching from afar. He went to an empty hallway and called his father. "Dad, are you free to analyze some X-ray images? It's for a fri

Benji had always lived a smooth and pleasant life. It hit him hard after hearing what the doctor said, leaving him in a state of shock and bewilderment."Mom, hasn't Dad always been in good health? How did he suddenly..."Carmen's eyes were red and swollen from crying."He mentioned feeling dizzy a few times recently and said he'd go for a check-up but actually never did. Plus, he's been swamped with work lately and hasn't got any time. Today, he suddenly fainted at the office. His assistant called an ambulance right away and brought him to the hospital. By the time I got the call, he was already being examined inside."Benji's face turned pale. With Jonathan down, the burden of supporting his family fell on him. He had been free from responsibility for the past 20 years, and now, suddenly having to shoulder this heavy load, he felt completely lost.His father had been asking him to get familiar with the company's operations a long time ago. However, he was too lazy to bother abou

Benji never had any grand ambitions. From the day he was born, people always told him that he didn't need to worry about anything since most problems in this world could be solved with money, and his family had plenty of it. He just wanted to drift through life."I don't need to surpass him. As long as I can cover my daily expenses and not have to ask him for money, that's enough," Benji replied.As they were talking, Shane had prepared a table full of dishes. He set out four sets of plates and cutleries before calling everyone over to eat. "It's time to eat."The four of them hadn't seen each other in a long time, so they had to have a drink.Jessamine looked at the beautifully prepared dishes on the table and couldn't help but offer a compliment. "Shane, your cooking skills have gotten so good."Shane opened a bottle of red wine and poured some for everyone. "What can I do? There's a glutton at home."Benji was not happy with Shane's comment. What did he mean by saying there wa

"It's great that you came by today, Jessie. I'll pay you back the money. Friends who are willing to lend money these days are rare, so I want to thank you again," Benji said.He hadn't repaid the money he borrowed last time yet. Coincidentally, he received some money today, so he decided to settle the debt in person. With that, he picked up his phone to make the transfer.Jessamine's phone chimed, indicating that a payment had been received. The amount was a bit more than what she had lent out."Mr. Moore, I'm not here to ask you to settle your debt. You can keep it for now. I won't need the money for the time being," Jessamine said."If one borrows and returns promptly, borrowing again won't be difficult. You're much easier to talk to than Thaddeus. Despite knowing him for so many years, borrowing money from him is such a hassle. You saw it last time yourself. That scoundrel's attitude was terrible!" Benji complained.At this point in the conversation, Thaddeus happened to arrive

Thaddeus tightened his grip on Jessamine's slender waist. "What am I going to do with you, Jessie?"He thought to himself that if things really were just that coincidental, he would rather play the fool and pretend to know nothing at all. He just couldn't leave her.Jessamine asked softly, "How about you ask your dad?"Thaddeus paused for a moment and took out his phone to call Corey. He couldn't calm his mind at all.After a few seconds of hearing the dial tone, the call was answered."Dad," Thaddeus said.On the other end of the phone, Corey was about to go to sleep. He had been adjusting his routine lately, aiming to go to bed early and wake up early."What’s up?" Corey asked."Do you remember the gathering over 20 years ago with Mr. Hardy, Jacob Langston, Leon Lincoln, Paxton Loomis, and a few others?"After that, Thaddeus added, "That night, a beautiful woman came over. She drank some alcohol and was drugged."There was a few seconds of silence on the other end of the ph

On the other side, Jessamine and Thaddeus got into the car.Jessamine and Beatrice were quite familiar with each other. However, it was Jessamine's first time meeting Sabastian. Surprisingly, she had a pretty good impression of him."Do the Hardy and Holt families have business dealings with each other?"Thaddeus drove as he answered her question, "We don't have much interaction. We would occasionally invest in small projects and conduct some charity work in Zenville together."Mr. Hardy is an upright and trustworthy person. He has a good relationship with Grandpa. Hayden would often come to my house with him when I was young."Jessamine paused for a moment and asked, "Does he have a wife?""Hayden's mother passed away from an amniotic fluid embolism during childbirth. Since then, Mr. Hardy has remained single and never remarried."Jessamine was deeply moved. In this era, who would remain loyal for a lifetime to their deceased wives? Most men like Sabastian, who had both power a
