Patricia mumbled all night long. Martin held her hand by the bedside all night.It wasn't until early morning the next day, having received a night's worth of intravenous drips, that she finally fell into a deep sleep. Her complexion had also improved quite a bit.When Alan came in with breakfast, he saw Martin tightly holding Patricia's hand, continuously comforting her with soft and gentle words, as if she were a priceless treasure.He had never seen his boss so gentle before and couldn't help feeling a slight touch of emotion.If only Boss had treated Madam with even a fraction of the tenderness he showed now, they wouldn't have been separated for five years, mother and son.Sigh!Alan sighed and placed the breakfast on the bedside table, persuading, "Boss, please eat something! You haven't rested for two days and nights. If Madam wakes up and you collapse, who will take care of her? She is still waiting for you to save Charles!"Upon hearing Charles's name, Martin's face suddenly
When no one responded, the person outside started banging on the door. "Roger... Roger... Hurry up and open the door, the guys are waiting for you! How much longer are you going to take?"Charles didn't dare to make a sound, tightly covering his mouth, and quickly climbed onto the bed, hiding his phone under the pillow.Seeing that no one responded from inside, the person outside the door started banging on it."Roger, say something, Roger..."Charles turned over, burying his little face in the pillow, trying his best not to make any noise.The knocking continued for about a minute.Before Charles could breathe a sigh of relief, the door suddenly opened from the outside. Someone walked to the side of the bed and forcefully pushed Roger, "Roger, get up, why are you still sleeping! Everyone is waiting for you, continue to block!"Unfortunately, Roger was sleeping like a log and couldn't be awakened no matter how hard he was pushed."Fuck... How can he sleep so soundly?"Saying that, the
Patricia's words came to an abrupt halt, and panic overtook her as she looked up to find Martin standing before her."You? I thought you left?" he asked.Martin closed his eyes, took a deep breath to adjust his mindset, and slowed down his tone, "I was too harsh earlier. I apologize to you."Regret filled him the moment he stormed out in anger.How could he argue with a patient?Having gone through great lengths to rescue her from the brink of death, he couldn't bear the thought of engaging in another quarrel with her.Patricia stared at him in astonishment, unable to believe that he had taken the initiative to apologize.Seeing her looking haggard, Martin began to regret their recent argument. He bent down, laid her on the bed, and said assertively, "You shouldn't be angry now, you should rest well."Patricia gripped his sleeve tightly, refusing to let go. "I know you're angry, but I'm really worried about Charles. Can you tell me how he is doing?"No matter how much Martin disliked
After Martin left, Patricia was arranged to return to the hospital ward next to Randy's. Thinking about Charles all these days, she had neglected Randy. She took a shower and changed into clean clothes before going to Randy's ward. Randy lay quietly on the bed, staring blankly at the ceiling, his thoughts unknown. Patricia walked over and lay down beside him, instinctively trying to embrace him, but he moved away, turning his back to her. "...?"Patricia was taken aback, sensing Randy's abnormality, and quickly asked concernedly, "Randy, what's wrong? Are you in a bad mood? Tell Mommy, why are you feeling down?"Randy remained silent, still facing away from her.This time, Patricia realized that things seemed far more serious than she had imagined. Having recognized Randy for so long, he had never ignored her."Randy, did I do something to upset you? Tell me, if it's Mommy's fault, I will apologize to you."Randy stood straight, his shoulders twitching, with faint sobbing sounds. P
Seeing that he had figured it out, Patricia nodded with a smile."Yes, that's Charles! Because you two look exactly the same, but Charles really wanted to meet you, so he covered his face."Randy was too shocked to say anything, finding it hard to believe.Seeing that he was temporarily comforted, Patricia couldn't help but reach out and gently touch his head. "Mommy really loves you. Don't question whether I love you or not, or else I'll be sad."Randy pouted and asked, "Then why did you give me to Daddy and take him away?"The change in how he addressed her let Patricia know that he had accepted Charles in his heart. She explained with a smile, "You were born with an illness, and I had no money at the time. In order for you to survive, I had no choice but to give you to your Daddy. But for these past four years, Mommy has never forgotten about you! I studied day and night, completing both a master's and a Ph.D., in order to come back as soon as possible and cure your illness. Both
Having received Ryan's order, the maritime police who were about to leave had to turn back. Martin stared at the OMM cargo ship with sharp eyes and a dark, inscrutable expression, pondering something. Carter proposed, "Since we've confirmed Charles is on board, I think we should send more people to search. Whether they are hiding, received prior information and ran away, or there is a mole within the maritime police leaking secrets. Instead of waiting for something bad to happen, it's better to go straight in."Ryan agreed, "I think Carter is right. Since he is hiding with Charles, it means the news has leaked. In that case, let's send more people."Martin remained silent for a moment, then nodded, "Send people on speedboats to search the surroundings, and send more personnel to search the cargo ship. Don't let any cargo container go unchecked. Even if Roger took the lifeboat on a passenger ship, he won't get far."Upon receiving the order, Ryan's excited eyes sparkled. "I'm going to
Ryan suddenly realized that the captain's secretive glances were flashing in his mind. Knowing he had been fooled, he cursed and turned around, heading back to the deck. "Vern, go and verify their crew members. If we can't find anyone on the entire cargo ship, then the person must be hiding among the crew."Vern was shocked by his words. "Yes! We were searching for people, not cargo! It's easier for a person to get exposed when hiding, but if they wear a sailor uniform and blend in with the crew, we wouldn't suspect them."Ryan was so infuriated that he almost dropped his phone.The captain, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, watched as Ryan and the others returned. Thinking about how they couldn't find anything despite the big commotion earlier, he became calmer."Vern, why are you here again? Did you forget something?" His tone couldn't conceal his satisfaction.Angered, Vern caressed his beard and glared, "Bring out the list of your crew members. I need to verify their ident
After seeing his face clearly, Ryan and Carter exclaimed at the same time, "Randy, how could it be Randy...?"Martin, upon hearing this, stood up abruptly and rushed over. As soon as he confirmed that it was indeed Randy, he gently patted his little cheek and embraced him, saying softly, "Randy, wake up, Randy..."Ryan was puzzled, "Why is it Randy? Martin, Randy was kidnapped, how could you as his father not know?"Carter also had a perplexed expression, "Shouldn't Randy be in the hospital? When was he abducted?"After speaking, all three were momentarily stunned.They all felt that something was not right, but for a moment, they couldn't put their finger on it.Martin took out his phone and called Alan, asking, "When was Randy kidnapped?"Alan was taken aback by the question."Randy has been in the hospital all along! I just came from there."Upon hearing this, both of them fell into silence.Martin looked at the child in his arms and then at his phone. A memory flashed through his
