Chapter 95 Something must have happened?

Mom Went Abroad?

Kai frowned, feeling that things weren’t that simple.

Although his mother, Ella, didn’t tell him what she was going to do when she went out today, he knew that her outing must be for something very important — maybe even dangerous.

She had repeatedly told his grandparents and him before leaving: Don’t open the door to strangers.

At noon, he held back and didn’t call Ella.

It wasn’t until after three in the afternoon, past the time Ella had planned to meet his godmother Jenna, that he couldn’t hold back any longer.

He called her, but…

Her phone was off.

At first, Kai thought her work wasn’t finished yet. But when he tried again half an hour later and the phone was still off, a faint sense of unease crept in.

Something wasn’t right. His instinct told him to check the security cameras, but he remembered his promise from yesterday: No hacking.

Reluctantly, he put the idea aside and called Uncle Leo instead.

No answer.

Frustrated, Kai ran a hand through his hair.

    Mr. Kane wanted to say something more, but Mrs. Kane interrupted, "I think Kai misses his dad, right? It's fine, Lila has gone abroad for something, Kaia followed Jenna, and Kai can stay with his dad for a while."Kai pursed his lips and forced a smile. "Grandma is the best."Although Mr. Kane eventually agreed to take Kai to the general Hospital, Leo was a cardiovascular surgeon, so since Kai still complained of stomach pain, they naturally went to the pediatric department first.The doctor listened and examined Kai's little belly with a stethoscope and his hands, then had the grandparents take him to check his excrement. Finally, he remained silent for a while before speaking."He probably ate too much and caught a slight cold. It hasn't reached the point of enteritis, but children's stomachs are delicate and need attention."Mr. and Mrs. Kane breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.As they left the pediatric department with the medicine, the Kanes reflected all the way.

    “Uncle Leo, can I go in and see Mom?”“Your mom just had surgery and needs to rest quietly…”“I’ll be very quiet.”Leo looked at Kai, who was trying hard to look strong, and suddenly thought of himself. He waved his hand. “Okay, you can go in.”Kai turned his head and asked in surprise, “Aren’t you coming in, Uncle Leo?”Leo shook his head. “I... won’t go in.”Kai didn’t insist and pushed the door open to the ward.The ward was so quiet that it made people feel uncomfortable. Kai looked at Ella lying on the hospital bed, wrapped in bandages and wearing a ventilator. Even though he had prepared himself mentally, he couldn’t help the sourness in his eyes.“Mom…”“It’s all my fault.”“I should have noticed something was wrong earlier and come to see you earlier.”Kai gritted his teeth. Tears finally slipped down his pale face, but he wiped them away the next second. He was already a little man and couldn’t be so weak.“Mom, don’t worry. I will take care of Grandma and Grandpa, and also

    Fortunately, Leo didn’t ask for anything else after hearing that."What’s the matter?" he asked.Edwin immediately replied, "Mr. Quinn already knows about the situation in Fairfield. He’s very satisfied with Young Master’s intelligence and decisiveness, so he specifically asked me to inform you to come home this weekend.""Go home?" Leo’s lips curled up, repeating the two words. Edwin recalled what Mr. Quinn had said on the phone today and looked at the man beside him, with a hint of flattery in his expression. " Young Master Leo has been in the hospital all day. He probably doesn’t know that Lucas is critically injured and his life is in danger. When the news came out, the Apex Corp was in chaos.""Speaking of which, we should thank Mrs. Montgomery. If she hadn’t kidnapped Miss Lila's child and angered Lucas, she wouldn’t have been kicked out of the board of directors by Lucas, and things wouldn’t have gone so smoothly for us today."Leo glanced at him."What, has my father already

    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

    After Director Sam finished speaking, in order not to delay the surgery for the patient, he quickly let the other doctors go to the operating room first. Leo pressed his lips tightly. He was usually reasonable and gentle, but this time he was unusually stubborn. "Director Sam, Lila... she's the girl I like." Director Sam was surprised. No wonder Dr. Leo hadn't dated or married for so many years. It turned out that he already had someone in his heart, but... "If that's the case, I can't let you participate in the surgery even more." Although the hospital did not have a written rule that doctors cannot perform surgery on their loved ones, it had long been an unwritten rule in the medical community. This was because when doctors perform surgery, they need to be fully focused, and any emotional fluctuations could lead to irreversible consequences. After all, how many people can guarantee that their hands won't shake when they are cutting open their loved ones with a knife? No

    Upon hearing Samuel Griffith's words, Luke quickly chimed in, "Yes, that's right. This is coercion. Testimonies obtained through coercion are not convincing and will not be accepted in court."Ella ignored Luke and turned to Samuel with a smile. "Don't worry, Officer Griffith. I know what to do."After Samuel left, Ella bent down again and lit the charcoal she had brought with her in a basin. Luke watched her actions and felt a chill run down his spine."What... what are you going to do? Just now, that officer said that testimonies obtained through coercion are useless...""Who said they're useless?" Ella sneered, picking up a piece of charcoal and walking toward him. "Just because the court doesn't accept them doesn't mean I don't. I don't care about evidence or no evidence! Do you really think I arrested you to overturn the case?"Luke's head buzzed with her words. "If you're not trying to overturn the case, then what do you want?""My father died in that fire, and my life was ruine

    Ella and Lucas left one after the other, but they didn't notice that someone had been silently watching them from the second-floor window of the Kane family's building.It wasn't until they were gone that she took out her phone and sent a message.Without waiting for a reply, she put her phone in her pocket and continued up the stairs to the Kane family's door. "Mrs Kane, it's me. I've come to find you to make barbecue..."When Mrs. Kane heard the voice, she was stunned for a moment, then slapped her thigh and stood up from the sofa."Oh, I forgot that I had an appointment with Mrs. Ruth to make Barbecue today!"She was about to walk to the door but was stopped by Mr. Kane."What are you doing..."Mrs. Kane didn't finish her sentence before Mr. Kane covered her mouth.Mr. Kane lowered his voice and whispered in her ear, "Don't you remember what Lila said when she left? Don't open the door to anyone except Jenna!"Mrs. Kane widened her eyes. "Mmm..."Although she was only making a sou

    As soon as Ella had a good word in her throat, she suddenly realized something was wrong.Before she left, she had explained to Mr. and Mrs. Kane that no one could open the door except Jenna, but this Aunt Ruth was not an outsider, and she had made an appointment with Mrs. Kane to make barbecue today. Would they just open the door?Thinking of this possibility, Ella pretended to be surprised: "Huh? Mom told you to come today to make barbecue? But she has already taken the two children out to play at the moment. Could it be that she forgot?"Aunt Ruth was also a little surprised: "Is your mother not at home?"Ella nodded affirmatively: "The two elders just took their two grandchildren out early in the morning.""I guess she really forgot," Aunt Ruth quickly came to her senses and waved her hand. "If she forgot, she forgot. It's not a big deal. I'll ask your mother when I see her later. That's fine, girl, go to your work."Ella nodded in agreement and didn’t talk too much nonsense with

    After Ella received the email, she didn't contact Samuel Griffith immediately. Instead, as Lila, she inquired about Samuel’s background on the sidelines. Only then did she learn that when Samuel was an intern at an airline company during his senior year, he actually made a serious mistake at work. Not only did he lose his job, but he was also punished. Since then, no airline had hired him again!Ella didn’t ask for details about the mistake. After all, everyone in this world has scars and pasts that they don't want to reveal.Based on Senior Samuel’s internship, she felt that the mistake might not have been entirely his fault.So, she just asked around to see where Samuel went next, but unexpectedly, Samuel had turned to the police.When Ella inquired, she already vaguely understood why Samuel sent her that email.Sure enough, after months of maintaining online contact, the two finally met once when he was dispatched abroad. Although that meeting was hasty, it meant a lot to Ella,
