"Good morning, Dr. Leo."

"Are you here to see Miss Lila again?"

"Dr. Leo, you seem to be in a good mood. Is something good happening lately?"

Leo didn't respond to their questions, only smiling gently and nodding in acknowledgment.

It wasn't until the doctors and nurses had passed by that he couldn't help but turn and head toward the restroom to check himself in the mirror.

After so many years, he had grown accustomed to wearing a mask of warmth and kindness. As for his true emotions, he had almost forgotten what they felt like.

But now even passing doctors and nurses could sense his joy...

Was it really that obvious?

Leo couldn't help but shake his head and smile, washing his hands before turning to leave the restroom.

However, just as he reached the door of Ella's hospital room, a nurse rushed out in a panic and collided with him.

Seeing the nurse's panicked expression, Leo immediately had a bad feeling. "What happened?"

The nurse, recognizing Leo, couldn't hide the truth and gr

    Kai's face turned slightly pale."Not only." He clenched the mouse in his hand, and his voice forced to be calm: "We were discovered."Leo was taken aback for a moment: "It was discovered? What do you mean?"Kai took a deep breath: "My mother’s phone is not turned off, but controlled. The other party traced us back through my locator. The garbled characters on the screen should be a message from them."Leo’s pupils shrank uncontrollably.Ella's mobile phone is not turned off, but controlled?

    Ella Montgomery stared at the two pink lines on the pregnancy test, her heart hammering as a dozen emotions rushed through her. Pregnant? How on earth? She and Lucas had only been married for half a year, and they’d only been…intimate once. And that one time didn’t even count; he’d been as drunk as a sailor on shore leave. So, how could she possibly be pregnant? Just then, a voice came from outside the bathroom door, making her jump. “Mrs. Montgomery, sir is back.” Ella's heart skipped another beat. She quickly tossed the pregnancy test into the trash, feeling absurdly guilty—like a thief hiding evidence. But why should she feel guilty? She was Lucas Montgomery’s legally wedded wife, and she was carrying his child. If anyone had explaining to do, it was him. After a deep breath to steady herself, Ella stepped out of the bathroom, determined to share the news, but as soon as she saw him, her courage faltered. Lucas was by the door, kicking off his shoes, looking like he h

    Ella woke up suddenly, gasping. The air around her felt thick and hot, as if someone had cranked up the heat to unbearable levels. Squinting her eyes open, she was met with the eerie orange glow of flames licking up the walls, smoke filling every corner of the room. She couldn’t breathe. Her throat scratched with every gasp, her lungs screaming for relief. Instinctively, she covered her mouth with her sleeve and tried to rise. That’s when she stumbled, her feet catching on something soft yet unyielding. She glanced down and froze. “Dad…” The word came out as a broken whisper. Her father lay still beside her, his face peaceful yet hauntingly lifeless. He had no visible injuries, nothing to suggest he’d been hurt—yet here he was, lying motionless. Panic clawed at her chest, but amid the terror, a strange familiarity washed over her. She recognized this place: her father’s factory workshop, his beloved pharmaceutical lab. Her mind raced, piecing together fragments of memory

    Everyone in the cabin went silent, their eyes fixed on Lucas. He gave a mocking sneer, putting down the newspaper he’d been holding. His icy gaze turned to Ella, and he took slow, deliberate steps toward her. "Miss Kane," he drawled, his voice dripping with sarcasm, "you really live up to your name as the ‘Rose of the Battlefield.’” Suddenly, his hand shot out, grabbing her by the neck, his grip cold and unyielding. He lifted her toward the window with a dark glint in his eyes. “Do you honestly believe I couldn’t open this window right now and toss you out as fertilizer for the flowers?” The threat hung in the air, his voice low and venomous. Just then, Ella stumbled forward, her balance lost as the plane gave a sudden jolt. She fell against him, her heart pounding as his arms closed around her for a brief second, enveloped in his scent. Lucas froze, momentarily taken aback by her closeness, a flicker of something like surprise crossing his face before he hardened again.

    Ella heart skipped a beat, her mind racing. Had Aunt Laura, Lila's Mom figured it out? "Lila is our daughter, who else could she be? Laura, you’re getting old and confused!" Lila's dad’s voice boomed across the living room. Aunt Laura's eyes narrowed, eyebrows arching up. "James Peterson, did you just call me old?" Her dad, known across the neighborhood for his strict but silent demeanor, rarely spoke to Aunt Laura so directly. Yet here he was, standing his ground with a tone Lila had only ever seen him use with stubborn vendors at the farmer’s market. “Stop talking nonsense and just tell us where the child was last seen!” His voice was sharp and commanding, cutting through Aunt Laura's attempted rebuttal. Aunt Laura’s face lost its color, her fingers clenched into a tight ball. After a pause, she muttered unwillingly, “The paternity testing center.” Ella's heart dropped. Could Aunt Laura have taken both children for a DNA test? “You had them tested? Laura, have you completely

    Compared to little Kaia, who was all bright-eyed and giggly, Kai seemed far more composed as he carefully observed his mother, who had just walked in. He smoothly pulled out a chair for her, showing a maturity that was almost startling in someone his age, and poured her a cup of warm milk. “Mom, when did you get back?” he asked, studying her with that same serious expression that made him look like a mini-adult. “Didn’t you say your flight was delayed because of the weather?” Ella chuckled. Her son always had a way of getting to the heart of things, didn’t he? “Well,” she teased, giving him a mischievous grin. “I actually borrowed a plane from a friend and flew back overnight myself. Impressive, right?” Kai's eyes went wide with shock. His mouth opened slightly, looking both amazed and doubtful at the same time, as he tried to wrap his head around the idea of his mom piloting her way across the night sky. She couldn’t resist ruffling his hair, holding back her laughter. “I’m jus

    "Mr. Lucas, Captain Dan has recovered, but the doctor says he needs a six-month observation period before he can fly again. Do you think we should hire another pilot?" Secretary Zane reported over the phone, his voice echoing in the hallway. Standing by the glass walls of the mall, Lucas looked out with his usual unreadable expression. Expanding the Apex group’s business into Asia meant he had to fly overseas almost every month, so having a dependable pilot was essential. Just as he was about to respond, Lucas spotted Ella in the distance—and three little kids trailing behind her. Something in his mind shifted, and before he knew it, he said, "Look into a journalist named Lila Kane. I want to know why she knows how to fly a plane." There was a beat of silence on the other end, then Zane’s voice returned, tinged with shock, "Sir… Are you saying you want Ms. Lila to be your pilot?" Zane immediately regretted those words. Lucas hated it when people tried to guess his intentions, and

    Ella nodded silently, her mind racing with thoughts she wasn’t quite ready to share. "But how is that even possible?" Jenna’s voice broke through the fog of uncertainty. "They didn’t notice anything weird when you lived with them before. So, what changed? Unless… someone told them something?" As the pieces clicked into place, Jennas expression shifted, her eyes narrowing. "Could it be Dr. Leo..?" "No," Ella replied, shaking her head with conviction. Jenna looked at her, surprised. "How can you be so sure?" Ella paused for a moment, weighing her words. She decided to spill the beans. "He’s been looking after Kai and Kaia for years. He’s helped me out a lot, so he has no reason to spill the beans to Mr. and Mrs. Kane." But Jenna, always quick to catch the scent of gossip, raised an eyebrow. "He helped take care of Kai and Kaia? What, like a dad or something?" Ella shot her a glare. "It’s not what you think." Jenna smirked, leaning in closer. "But how do you know what I’m thinki

    Kai choked for a moment. That wasn’t really what he meant.But facing the watery big eyes of his little sister, he naturally couldn’t say anything that would hurt her, so he asked her back, "Do you want to go to the junior class?"Kaia lowered her head and hesitated for only two seconds before shaking her head. "I don’t want to.""Oh? Why not?" Kai asked."Because if I go to the junior class, I have to live in the school and can't eat the food made by my grandparents every day, nor can I buy small cakes," Kaia replied.Well, this reason was in line with the little girl’s character.Kai rubbed her head and said, "That’s right, Kaia can go if you want to, but you don’t want to go to the junior class."Kaia nodded, but soon raised her head again. "What about brother? Does he really want to go?"Facing the bright eyes of his little sister, Kai knew that she couldn’t bear to be separated from her brother, but he still told the truth. "Brother really wants to go."The light in Kaia’s eyes d

Kai was confident he could do it!After all, it had been two days, and several experts from different alliances had already confirmed the authenticity of the reward post. This meant they had successfully hacked into the Quinm Group and received the one million US dollar reward.But Kai still kept his promise to his mother.However, he couldn’t help but be curious about who would have such a huge grudge against the Quinn Group. So, he tried to track down the person behind the post.But he never expected to encounter a real expert this time. The person not only easily detected and prevented his intrusion but also effortlessly cracked the fake IP addresses and puzzles he had set up and found his real IP address directly!

    Ella didn't respond to Mrs. Kane's words.Her gaze stayed fixed on the doorway until the shadow disappeared from under the crack, and she let out a sigh of relief.But her mood soon grew heavier.She had guessed correctly—Leo hadn't left directly; he'd been eavesdropping at the doorway.But why? After losing her memory, all she could remember was hiding Philip’s secret from him.Why had he been so careful, eavesdropping on her, watching her? Was he trying to get something from her, or was he trying to prevent her from contacting someone?Ella lowered her head, feeling both sad and confused.Mrs. Kane seemed happy after getting Ella’s response and began to look at the calendar, not caring whether Ella was interested or not.On the balcony, Kaia was wearing headphones, watching videos on her phone, and didn’t hear the conversation inside. But Kai heard every word of the conversation clearly.He lowered his eyes, hiding his complicated thoughts.After a moment, he touched Kaia's head an

    "Mom..."Ella couldn't stand the enthusiasm of Mrs. Kane, so she had to stop her and said, "Let Dr. Leo have a drink of water first.""Yes, yes, have some water first."As Mrs. Kane got up to pour water, Kaia was quicker and had already poured a glass and handed it to Leo, saying, "Uncle Leo, have some water."Leo looked at the little girl's face, which was almost a replica of Kai's, and felt all his exhaustion disappear in an instant, leaving only a gentle warmth that was almost overflowing."Thank you, little darling."The little girl blushed at the endearment and handed the glass to Leo before shyly hiding behind Mrs. Kane.Mrs. Kane found it amusing and was about to say something, but then remembered that Lila didn't like to talk about Leo in front of the two children. So she swallowed her words and asked Leo to sit down for dinner.After dinner, Leo had planned to stay at the hospital. But Mrs. Kane said, "Leo dear, you have worked hard for Lila these past few days, but this can

    Leo nodded and lowered his eyes. "Acute heart failure. The delay on the road was too long, and it was almost dead when it was delivered."Ella was taken aback for a moment. "So... the operation failed?"Leo nodded silently.It was the first time for Ella to see Leo like this.Obviously, his complexion didn’t look much different from usual, but if you looked closely, you would find that those eyes that were always warm were a little darker than usual. Leo had been in the heart surgery department for almost ten years. She was afraid he couldn’t even remember the surgeries he’d had. Yet, he was still so sad because of a failed surgery. Was he dissatisfied with his abilities? Or was it respect and reverence for life?Ella looked at Leo like this and then thought of her doubts about him these days, and unconsciously began to waver again.How could Leo, who was so dedicated to his job and respected life..."Cough cough."The sudden coughing sound from the bathroom interrupted Ella’s tho

    Time was running out. Ella directly told Philip her thoughts after reading the email Samuel Griffith left her and the investigations of the past few days."Although you have lost your memory, you read yesterday's email, and you should know almost everything about the Blake family fire case six years ago. The trial of this case six years ago was very rough. This time it seems to be more detailed. But in fact, there are still many procedurally unreasonable places.""The most obvious thing is that this case is obviously derived from the bombing case. According to common sense, you are the only one who wakes up among the two survivors of the bombing case. Therefore, the superiors should send someone to interrogate you based on emotion and reason.""Even if you lose your memory, they should at least check your details and the intersection with the other two dead people.""But actually, has anyone from the police contacted you these days? So far, there should be no one other than me.""No."

    Ella hesitated for a moment before confessing, "Officer Philip, there’s something I need to tell you."Philip was taken aback. "What is it?""I have amnesia," Ella said. "I’ve forgotten everything that’s happened in the past few years since I turned twenty-one. That’s why I asked you for that email earlier. I remember Samuel, but I don’t remember what I said to him when we were in contact because I deleted those emails myself."Philip was silent for a while, seemingly digesting what she had just said."So, you don’t remember the Blake family fire six years ago or the recent explosion case?" he asked.Ella pursed her lips. "I don’t remember anything. My knowledge of these events is limited to what people around me have told me and what I’ve read in the news and newspapers."Philip rubbed his forehead, feeling a headache coming on.He had thought that contacting Ella would help solve many of the questions he had, but things had only become more complicated.
