Second chances: Love or revenge? Chapter 30 What happened six years ago
“It’s fine. What’s going on that’s so urgent?” Leo asked, his voice still rough from being jolted awake in the middle of the night. He flicked on the bedside lamp, throwing soft light into the room, and started pulling on his clothes. Years as a surgeon had trained him to expect chaos at odd hours, but he still preferred a warning. “Did something happen?” Kaia didn't beat around the bush and said directly, "My mother was taken away by Lucas Montgomery." Leo paused in his movements, his expression changing. "You mean Lucas took your mother away? When did this happen?" “After work last night. She told us she had to work late, but she didn’t come home. Just now, my sister called her phone, and Lucas answered. He said Mom is sick and he’s with her at the hospital.” That was all Leo needed to hear. He yanked on his second sock, grabbed his jacket, and was out of bed in an instant. “Which hospital?” Kai was stunned for a moment. She hadn't mentioned it. But just because she didn't

Lucas paced down the hospital hallway, flicking a cigarette to life. The brief hit of nicotine helped, but it was just a distraction. After a few drags, he stubbed it out, taking a deep breath. Ella hated the smell of smoke, and somehow, even now, he still cared. She’d told him once, early on in their marriage, that the smell bothered her. Since then, he’d done his best to quit, even during the most high-pressure times at work. But he’d picked up the habit again after she “left.” Those nights of sleeplessness, combined with long, grueling work hours, had driven him back to it, as if the smoke could somehow ease the emptiness she left behind. Now, as he headed back to the ward, a strange feeling crept over him. He was almost at the door when he heard voices inside. “Are you hungry?” came a familiar voice. “I brought you some oatmeal porridge. Drink it, and then I’ll take you home.” Lucas's eyes narrowed. That’s Leo Quinn. How did Leo find her? Besides himself, only Kai a

As Ella walked down the hallway, she paused suddenly, something sparking in her memory. She spun around to face Leo. "Oh, hey, Leo, I just remembered something weird." Leo looked up, surprised by her sudden halt. "What's up?" "Do you know Lucas? I just heard him call you 'Mr. Quinn.' But… didn't you say you were an only child?" Leo's eyes narrowed slightly. He always knew Ella was sharp, but he hadn't expected her to catch such a small detail, especially with everything going on. For a second, Leo considered dodging the question, but he realized it was probably time to be honest with her. After all, if Lucas had figured out who he was, then it was only a matter of time before Ella found out, too. "Ella," he began, his voice low and sincere. "I've actually wanted to tell you this for a while… but I never quite knew how." She cocked her head to the side, her curious gaze glued to him. "Tell me what?" He exhaled slowly. "I only found out about it six years ago." Ella's eyebrow

Ella thought about the breakfast delivery for a moment, her mind racing with possibilities. "Could it be from the neighborhood association? Like, some kind of 'morning kindness' program?" Lila's Mom, let out a hearty laugh, shaking her head. "Oh, please, Lila! No, it was from your coworker." "Coworker?" Ella frowned, her suspicion growing. She had only been back in the country for less than two weeks, and her closest colleague was her boss, Matt. But Matt had no idea that she was sick, so how could he have sent her breakfast? Could it be someone pretending to be her colleague and trying to poison her? It wasn't that Ella was being paranoid, but she had actually experienced something similar when she was in Westvale. Because she had exposed too many high-level secrets,she was seen as a thorn in the eyes of those in power and was secretly poisoned several times. Fortunately, she was vigilant and lucky enough to survive, or she wouldn't know how many times she would have died.

As the door opened, Jenna pulled down her mask and extended her hand with a friendly grin, “Hello, I'm Jenna.” Kate eyes widened, her pupils dilating in sheer surprise. She blinked twice, and just as the reality hit, she squealed. “Oh my gosh! It’s really you! Jenna Stone, I’m your—” “Shh!” Jenna quickly raised a finger to her lips, giving Kate a conspiratorial wink. “I know, I know, you’re a fan. I’ll totally give you an autograph later, maybe even a selfie. But right now, can we focus on the house?” Kate, still visibly starstruck, nodded enthusiastically, her cheeks turning the faintest shade of pink. Jenna's grin widened. "Great! Now, lead the way, Kate. My friend and I can’t wait to check this place out.” As Kate guided them inside, Jenna gave a playful nudge to her Ella. “Told you I got this covered,” she whispered, winking. Ella, however, was too busy staring around the luxurious hallway to notice. The apartment Kate showed them was a chic duplex on the third floor. The b

Aaron Yes, it was the young male doctor standing in front of Kai, who raised his eyebrows slightly and showed a hint of surprise in his eyes. He now truly believed that this little thing in front of him was Lucas's offspring. Just looking at the cool and arrogant attitude, it was almost identical to Lucas's. "So… you want this or not?" Kai asked, holding out a sample bag, his voice chilly. "If you don’t, I’ll toss it." The Aaron chuckled, genuinely surprised at Kai's sharp tone. He couldn’t help but think, This kid's a mini version of Lucas. The attitude, the unbothered confidence—it was uncanny. But as he watched Kai, he noticed something else. There was a faint resemblance, a little spark of familiarity that made him think back to Lucas's younger days. "Wow, kid," he muttered, "you really are a chip off the old block." Kau didn’t appreciate the doctor’s gaze lingering on him, especially since it felt off, too intense. It wasn’t about the exam; he was almost sure now—this d

A minute later, the door creaked open. Zane stepped in, his face full of curiosity. "Mr. Lucas, did you call for me?" Lucas glanced up from his desk, his eyes sharp and unreadable. He gestured for Zane to come closer. Without hesitation, Zane moved forward, but the moment his eyes landed on Lucas's’s hand, he froze. “Mr. Lucas, your hand... it’s bleeding.” Lucas flicked his wrist dismissively, as though it was nothing. "It’s fine," he said, his voice low and controlled. "But put that aside for now. I need you to investigate something." Zane, used to Lucas's’s usual aloofness, immediately straightened up, his mind racing. If Lucas was asking him to drop everything, it must be important. His voice dropped an octave. “What do you want me to look into?” Lucas leaned back in his chair, his gaze distant. “I want you to investigate the fire at the Blake Pharmaceuticals factory six years ago.” Zane blinked, his heart skipping a beat. “You mean the fire that destroyed the whole lab?

Ella picked up her two children from the kindergarten.Before leaving for Westvale, she had bought a second-hand scooter. After the two children got on the scooter, she casually asked, "What did you learn in kindergarten today, Kai and Kaia?"Kaia, the more talkative one, immediately jumped in, barely taking a breath. "We learned a lot today!" She could practically hear her excitement spilling over the helmet as she continued. "Teacher Tina taught us addition within 20. Actually, I already knew it, but my brother still wanted me to listen carefully!"Ella stole a glance at her son, Kai, whose face was as calm as ever, the faintest hint of a smile tugging at his lips. He was always so composed, so intelligent beyond his years. She couldn’t help but feel a sense of pride swell in her chest."Hmm, your brother is right," she said, focusing on the road ahead. "Did you listen carefully, Kaia?""Of course! Kaia always listens to her brother!" The little girl puffed out her chest with pride

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? Isn’t her current situation more dangerous than she imagined?No, I don’t care about that much.Finding Ella is the most important thing.Thinking of this, he asked Kai again: "Then what do they want to say?"Kai shook his head while typing on the keyboard quickly: "I don’t know, the one they sent is a code, and it needs to be run through the program before it can be displayed."Leo took a deep breath and suppressed the anxiety in his heart."Okay, then try to run it first.

Second chances: Love or revenge? Chapter 125 Gone missing again!!
"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 hi

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

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. After a moment of thought, h
