The Cherished Wife Chapter 1512
The more Sean tried to explain, the gloomier the lab felt. At last, Charles pounded his fist on the lab table, his eyes red and angry. He glared at the list of numbers and codes in Sean's hand, grinding his teeth. "I need the right answer, now!""Charles, where are you off to?"Sean was worried Charles might do something reckless, but there was no stopping him now. With no other choice, he called Steven. "Mr. Fischer, wherever you are, you'd better come to Brookville quickly and keep an eye on Charles. I've got a bad feeling something's about to go down." Anything involving Noelle was always serious business.Steven's brow was creased with worry as he hung up the phone with Ronald. He had just learned the details of a troubling situation, and then Sean was on the line, bringing more bad news. Steven's face was stormy as he listened. "Okay, I understand. Where are you right now? What's happening?""Noelle might have been injected with the same virus that Tania and Bran were!""What
The Cherished Wife Chapter 1513
Starting anew with Peter and spending so much time with Bran had made the three of them a very happy family. They were having so much fun that Tania nearly forgot why they came there in the first place.However, just a moment ago, while playing a game with Bran, Tania noticed Peter's serious face. It was scary.With a deep frown, Peter stared at Tania for a while before saying, "We might need to go back home.""Is something wrong? Did something happen back home?" Tania felt uneasy. "Who is it?""Noelle," Peter replied. "Sean called. Noelle's gone missing, and nobody knows what's going on or why!""What?" Tania was shocked, staring at Peter. "Are you sure? Who would... What's really happening?""We don't know who's involved or what they want. However, Noelle's gone, and Sean sounded like it was bad. There's something else..." Peter paused. "Noelle might have the same virus as you."Tania was too anxious to sit still. "Noelle is pregnant. Who's the guy doing this?" She was upset.

"Just eat your food. I'll be back to clean up after you're done," the servant said, and with a loud slam, the door shut behind her."Who are you people? Why have you brought me here? What do you want?" Noelle shouted, rushing to the door and pounding on it with all her might. However, her cries fell on deaf ears. No one came for her.Noelle shouted for help, but it was like she was invisible. Her throat hurt from yelling, and her stomach growled with hunger. She looked around the room. It was nicely decorated, which made her think the person who brought her here must be rich.At first, Noelle did not want to touch the food. What if it was poisoned? What did her captor want with her?Then she realized that if they wanted to hurt her, they could have done it at the hospital. They did not. They just made her pass out and brought her there. That meant they did not want her dead, or not yet, at least.She had to stay calm for her own sake and for the baby she was carrying.With a dete

Noelle did not know how long she had been in her room, but as evening fell, the door suddenly opened. It was the old woman again. She looked at Noelle. "Time to eat downstairs."Noelle was taken aback but knew she could not let her true feelings show. She just watched the old woman, who did not even glance back at her before walking away.Noelle quickly followed the old woman downstairs. She was eager to explore and uncover the secrets of the place she was in. Despite it being summer, a sharp chill greeted her as she descended, making her shiver.Frowning, Noelle was led to the dining table where a man in black sat at the head, his attention seemingly on the newspaper in his hands. Approaching, she noticed a shiny silver mask covering his face, hiding any expression."Who are you? What do you want with me?" Noelle asked.She reached out to remove his mask, but the man stood up and dodged with such speed that she was left startled."Do you think I want something from you?" Jethro

Was Winter just a pawn for this guy, and he was using her to get what he wanted? However, he could have just had his own people take care of things. Why send Winter, another woman, after Noelle? That was what Noelle could not wrap her head around.His guys could have easily dealt with her without Winter getting in the way. "Are you using Winter to reach some goal of yours?"Jethro just frowned and stayed quiet.Noelle gripped her knife and fork tighter. "I've gone through City Ring Corp.'s books. There've been issues for two years now, but they were too small to notice at first. It wasn't until last year that the big problems started to show up. And then there was the trouble with my grandpa. Did Winter go to upset him at the hospital because of you? Was it you she met in that shady spot?"Noelle did not know why, but as she put the pieces together, she felt sure he was behind it all. "Why are you after City Ring Corp. and the Shaws?"My grandpa never did anything to you! And Wint
The Cherished Wife Chapter 1517
Noelle's fists were clenched tight. "Who are you, really? What do you want?" she demanded."You'll find out soon enough," came the reply.After Jethro left the villa, Noelle, having finished her meal, thought about making a run for it. However, she quickly realized escape was next to impossible.Guards were posted all around the villa, and several masked men in black had appeared inside. They were skilled, and their faces were hidden, leaving them unrecognizable.Noelle felt a surge of anger as she pinched her palm and glared at them. She decided to head upstairs and come up with a long-term plan....In the lab, Sean finally finished analyzing the contents of the syringe. He immediately called Charles. "It's the virus from Bran, Charles!"Charles's face turned serious as he held his phone tightly. He quickly looked over at Steven. "How long until we can find them?""We've got it. They're in..." Steven's eyes were glued to the screen, then he said sharply, "Cascade City!"Casc

"Let me guess. You're not suggesting someone is hiding there, are you? But..." Sean was clearly skeptical, but he paused and looked over at Charles, who was gazing at the house with a thoughtful expression and a glint of something mysterious in his eyes."Charles?"With his lips pressed together, Charles turned to Bob. "We didn't bring many people with us. Do you have enough folks to help out?" Charles seemed remarkably calm.Bob smirked. "What's the catch for me?"Charles squinted slightly. "What kind of reward are you looking for?" He spoke so evenly that one could not tell he was upset, let alone that someone had kidnapped his wife.Bob's eyes twinkled with amusement. "I haven't thought of anything yet, Mr. Hoffman. You can just owe me a favor.""Sebastian!" Charles said sharply, and Bob's face stiffened. He met Charles's look with narrowed eyes, his smile disappearing. "Mr. Hoffman, what are you getting at?""Mr. Bob Smith, did your grandfather have a brother by any chance?"

He was pretty sure they would not hurt Noelle, which was why he took his time to see what their real plan was.After going back and forth with them, Charles was almost certain of their game. They pretended to kidnap Noelle, but their real plan was to throw him off balance with her disappearance. Once he was all shook up, that's when they would really make their move.If Charles was right, there would be some big shake-ups at Collosus Group in the next few days.Just as Charles had predicted, before he could even begin to help Noelle, Ronald had urgent news."Mr. Hoffman, someone has just deliberately sold off a huge amount of Collosus Group's stock. There's also trouble brewing at Capiton."Charles squinted. "What else?""Collosus Group's security system has been hit a few times, but it looks like the attacker isn't really trying. They made a few attempts and then stopped.""Understood!" Charles ended the call, his normally steady eyes flickering with concern.Steven's call cam

Seth nodded, tilting his head as he looked at Kelly. "Mommy, you cried."Though young, Seth was incredibly perceptive. Noticing Kelly's red eyes, his small, soft hand reached out to gently rub her cheek.He even leaned closer and blew softly on her face. "Don't cry, Mommy!""I didn't cry, not at all," Kelly said while patting Seth's back gently.There was an apologetic look on her face. "I just forgot to make dinner for you tonight.""Then, Mommy, let's eat out! Seth has money—lots and lots of money. Seth will treat Mommy to some meat!"Seth's sweet, innocent words made Kelly's eyes redden again, but she smiled and nodded. "Alright, Seth. Change your clothes. I'll take you out for dinner, okay?"Later that evening, Kelly sat holding Seth while watching TV, but her mind could not stop drifting back to Noelle's face.Grant's words replayed in her head: she and Noelle were full-blooded sisters, sharing both parents.Kelly looked down at Seth, her thoughts in turmoil. She could

"Are you sure it's a virus?" Kelly asked, her voice trembling slightly."Yes," Grant replied with a firm nod, his sharp eyes fixed on her.He could see the disbelief and shock in Kelly's gaze, along with traces of guilt and unease.However, Kelly suddenly laughed, and she turned her head to face Grant. "Noelle has a virus, so she should go see a doctor. Why are you coming to me? Ha! It's ridiculous that Charles still wants to get me involved when his wife is sick. Why?""Kelly, this virus is extremely rare," Grant explained, his tone steady. "Sean currently doesn't have a clear treatment, but he mentioned one potential solution."Kelly's eyes flickered slightly, betraying a crack in her facade. "If there's a solution, then try it.""Sean believes we need to extract active enzymes from the blood of her closest relatives. Harrison and Shirley should already be at the hospital."Kelly froze again, her lips pressing into a thin line."Oh," she replied, feigning calm, though her emo

Grant noticed Kelly's reluctance to look at the documents and frowned slightly before speaking in an indifferent tone. "You don't have to look at it if you don't want to. After all, it's your decision whether to accept it or not."He placed the file on the table, his tone calm and detached, as though this matter had nothing to do with him.However, Kelly was far from calm. She glared at him, her voice trembling with suppressed anger. "If that's the case, why did you bring it here? Why did you agree? Why…"Her voice grew louder as she yelled at Grant, her emotions spiraling out of control. The noise startled Seth, who was sleeping in the other room.Hearing Seth's cries, Kelly immediately pushed past Grant and rushed into the room to scoop him into her arms. "Seth, don't cry. Mommy's here!""Mommy!" Seth clung tightly to her, his little hands grasping at her clothes."Yes, Mommy's here," Kelly murmured, cradling him as she gently patted his back. She hummed a soothing tune into hi

Kelly's feelings toward Grant were complicated. Growing up, her impression of him was not strong, and they certainly could not be described as having a close sibling bond.Later, Grant left the Andersons, disappearing to places unknown. When he finally returned, Kelly did not stay in Capiton for long before coming to Brookville.After that came the incident that changed everything, ultimately sending her abroad."Aren't you going to invite me in?" Grant glanced inside.Kelly frowned slightly. Although she seemed reluctant, she did not refuse and stepped aside to make way. "Come in. But I don't have much here, so I'm afraid I might not be the best host.""No problem."Grant noticed how much colder Kelly's demeanor had become. As he stepped into the modest apartment, he casually observed its simple layout.It was hard to reconcile this Kelly, living in such a sparse place, with the pampered young woman who once never lifted a finger.Feeling somewhat uneasy, Kelly closed the door

Kelly had been spending the past few days with Seth, whose health had improved significantly. After the recent incident, Kelly stayed in Brookville for a while, using the time to reflect deeply. One of the reasons she had not left Brookville was because of Seth's biological father.It had been almost four years. Not too long, yet not short either.Kelly thought she had let it go, but the DNA report comparing Seth with Maxwell made her hesitate once again.She always knew Seth was not Charles' child. She was fully aware of who the father was, yet his true identity remained a mystery.During those months four years ago, that man had stayed by her side, sharing a deeply unforgettable time with her. It was so unforgettable that she had pushed aside questions about his identity or purpose, choosing instead to immerse herself in the moment with him.Yet she was nothing more than a pawn for him to use against the Hoffmans in the end.Strangely, Charles had been absent from Brookville du

Grant's expression turned ice-cold in an instant. "What are you planning to do?""Kelly is Noelle's biological sister. Sean said only enzymes extracted from close relatives' blood might save Noelle. Whether it works or not, I have to try," Charles replied. His gaze was intense in a way Grant had never seen before.Grant had not expected to ever witness such an expression on Charles' face. He frowned deeply but eventually nodded. "I'll try, but she still doesn't know she's part of the Smith family.""You didn't tell her?" Charles was visibly surprised. He had assumed Grant would have already told Kelly the truth.Now, hearing that Kelly had no idea about her connection to Noelle or the Smith family, Charles was taken aback."I'll bring her over as soon as I can. Give me some time.""Fine, but don't take too long. Nelly can't wait," Charles said firmly. He understood that revealing the truth to Kelly and convincing her to help Noelle would not be easy. However, since Grant had ag

Sean emerged with a somber expression. "Margaret has confirmed that there's a fresh needle mark on Noelle's arm. That shadow from earlier must have injected something into her, which likely triggered her immediate symptoms."Charles clenched his fists, the sound of his knuckles cracking filling the tense air. "What's the plan?""Before the virus spreads too deeply, we could try using blood from Noelle's close relatives to extract certain components that might counteract it," Sean explained.Charles narrowed his eyes. "Be clearer. What are you suggesting?""This idea isn't fully tested. I only came across it in medical literature, and there's no guarantee it will work. If the virus hasn't invaded her bone marrow, we might still have a chance."Charles' expression eased slightly, but a hint of apprehension lingered. He glanced at Sean, who hesitated before continuing. "We need to call in Uncle Harrison and Shirley. Ideally, we should also bring Kelly here.""Fine!"Harrison arrive

"Make sure to cooperate well with Dr. Ellison, alright?"Charles leaned down, planting a soft kiss on Noelle's forehead before stepping out with Sean. "What's going on?"Outside, Peter, Tania, and Brandon were waiting. Brandon kept peeking into the room, and his curious eyes were wide with concern. "Uncle Charles, what's wrong with Aunt Noelle?"Charles' expression softened immediately. He reached out to tousle Brandon's hair gently. "Aunt Noelle is fine. She's just feeling a little sick.""Oh, then Bran will give Aunt Noelle some candy. If Auntie eats candy, she won't hurt anymore," Brandon said with childlike earnestness, pulling a few candies from his small bag and handing them to Charles."Uncle Charles, give these to Aunt Noelle!""Alright."Charles accepted the candies, his gaze drifting back to the room. He watched through the window as Noelle cooperated with Margaret's examination. His chest felt unbearably tight with worry."Have you figured out what to do yet?""Wh

"Mm, you didn't cry," Noelle said with a faint smile.Her face was still pale, but it was clear she had passed the peak of her pain.She placed her hands gently on Charles' face, slowly pulling herself up. After finding a comfortable position, she leaned into him, her head nuzzling against his chest like a mother soothing her child.Her delicate fingers traced the contours of his face. "You didn't cry."Charles could not help but tremble slightly. Lowering his gaze, he found Noelle looking up at him. She cupped his face with both hands, her body leaning closer, and her forehead was lightly pressing against his.She rubbed against him gently. "You were just worried about me," she said softly. Then, she placed a gentle kiss at the corner of his mouth."Our Charlie is the best, the strongest. How could he cry? Crying is my job."Noelle's smile was so tender and warm that it seemed to melt the storm brewing in Charles' heart.He carefully wrapped her in his arms, brushing his face
