Smiling, Renee confessed, "I grew up in Everheart Manor, so I'm very familiar with its layout. I can get around the place with my eyes closed, so don't worry." She didn't want to implicate Lisa and get her in trouble."Okay, just be careful," Lisa said finally."Will do. Get back safely!" Renee waved at Lisa. Once she heard the car drive off, she carefully walked towards the gate. After keying in the password, she brushed her hands against the things around her, making her way into the living room. She had strong perception and observation skills, so it wasn't difficult for her to move around her childhood home. "Adie! Abby!" Renee opened the door and yelled, grinning happily."Mommy!" Abby was drawing upstairs, but when she heard Renee's voice, she ran downstairs excitedly. "It's really you, Mommy! You're finally home!" Abby threw herself into Renee's arms and hugged her. Renee caressed Abby's head lovingly and smiled. "Were you good when I wasn't around?" "Of course! I final
"I think Adie's out. Margaret is worried about him and has gone to look for him," Abby said honestly. She wasn't surprised that Adie had successfully snuck out; her smart brother was very careful, so she wasn't worried about him at all."What? Where did he go this time?" Renee asked anxiously. Adie was unusually clever, and it always made Renee worry. However, in her current condition, she didn't know what she should do. Luckily, at that moment, Margaret returned. She entered the house anxiously, still wearing her apron because Adie had snuck out while she was cooking. "You're finally home, Ms. Ren! Please help me figure out where Adie has gone, I can't find him anywhere…""Did he say anything before he left? Has he been acting strangely recently?" Renee frowned and asked.Margaret sighed and said worriedly, "No, nothing of the sort, but he did think you'd gotten into trouble because you refused to have a video call with him. He said that he wanted to save you, but I ignored him b
Renee breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that."Adie didn't let me tell you guys because he didn't want you to worry about him," Abby explained quickly. "Well, he shouldn't have gone out without permission if that was the case." Renee tried to calm herself down, then said to Margaret, "Call Adie and ask him where he is now, Margaret.""I did, but he didn't answer the call.""What about his location?" "I can't find his location because his phone is turned off.""It's okay, I know what to do. Get me a laptop." Renee had purposely installed a tracking app on Adie and Abby's smartwatches in case they ever got lost. She could still track them with it even if their smartwatches were switched off or ran out of battery. Margaret quickly carried a laptop over and clicked on the app based on Renee's instructions.Renee sat at the desk, feeling the keys on the keyboard, then started typing on it. A progress bar popped up on the screen, and after a few minutes, it reached 100%. Re
The nurse peered at Adie's handsome face and realized it resembled Stefan's. Her face lit up, and she said excitedly, "I got it! You must be Mr. Hunt's son, right? You look just like him!" Adie frowned unhappily, and tried to correct her. "No, I'm not his son, and he's not my daddy. It's just that our genes are similar. Have you ever seen any father fail to recognize his son?" "Umm..." At that moment, Seraphina had just arrived at the hospital with a lot of supplements for Stefan. She'd heard that Stefan was awake, but had no clue about his condition or whether he remembered Renee.However, Francine guarded her son well. She had hired more than ten bodyguards to stand guard outside the ward, and Seraphina was strictly prohibited to enter.Vexed, Seraphina tried to think of a way to get to Stefan, and when she saw Adie in the lobby, her eyes immediately lit up. She walked over to Adie and grinned. "Do you know who I am, kid?" Adie gave Seraphina a disgusted look and scoffed, "
However, it was now the middle of autumn, and the weather was cold. Also, since it was night, the garden was empty.Holding Adie's hand, Seraphina walked beside the pond, her pace slowing down. "Why are you here alone? Where's your mommy? Isn't she worried that you're out here alone?""My mommy has gone missing. I came here today because I wanted my Gene Daddy to help me find my mommy," Adie confessed. He knew that Stefan was recuperating in that hospital, and that Renee was at Jovan's manor, but he realized he couldn't do much to save Renee since he was just a child. He had come to the hospital to ask for Stefan's help. "But don't you know that your daddy has broken up with your mommy? Your daddy has no obligation to help your mommy again. You can't trouble him with something like this, you know..."Adie glared at Seraphina. "Why should I listen to you? Who are you to my daddy? What right do you have to meddle in his business?" "Don't you know?" Seraphina stood under the dim l
"Where are you from, kiddo? You shouldn't be here. Where are your parents? Hurry up and get out of here!" A tall and sturdy bodyguard stopped Adie with a fierce scowl, a gun clearly visible in his holster. Francine had gone overboard with the security, having bodyguards stationed at all entrances of the inpatient department. .Adie'd had a smooth journey up until now, but now he was stuck at the door of the elevator. He looked up at the bodyguard and said boldly, "My father is Stefan. Take me to him.""Nice try, kid. Mr. Hunt is the president of Hunt Enterprise, and there's no way he's your father." The bodyguard sized Adie up and sneered, "Well, Mr. Hunt's enemies are really getting creative sending a kid over. Who sent you? Tell me, or I'm going to teach you a lesson." The bodyguard swiftly walked over and grabbed Adie's shoulders, lifting him up. "What weapons do you have with you? Give them up now!" "Let go of me! How dare you bully me! My mommy isn't going to let you go if she
Francine ignored the bodyguard and carried Adie as she walked toward Stefan's ward, but she stopped when she reached the door, looking hesitant."What's wrong, Grandma?" Adie stared at Francine in confusion."Well… your daddy's just gone through surgery, and it's been only a few days since he's woken up. I'm worried that your sudden appearance might trigger him..." Francine's worry wasn't groundless—although Stefan's brain recovery surgery was successful, he was different after waking up. He just stared into the distance blankly, refusing to have contact with others. Francine didn't know if Stefan had regained his memories or not, and she was worried that seeing Adie might trigger him."Your son isn't weak, Grandma, and I'm not a monster. Why would I trigger him? If he was really that useless, I wouldn't have come to him for help," Adie said seriously. Although he felt that Stefan was a scumbag, he had to admit that his father was strong. If he wasn't, Renee wouldn't have loved him
Francine hesitated briefly, then finally agreed to Elijah's suggestion. Adie entered the ward alone, and walked through the long vestibule. After a while, he saw Stefan, who was sitting on a hospital bed. Since Stefan had just had surgery, his head was wrapped in bandages, and he looked rather weak. His lips were pale, and it looked like he might faint at any second. The strangest thing about him though, were his eyes. They used to be sharp and bright, but now, they were void and blank. The great Stefan Hunt looked like a zombie.Initially, Adie has been very dissatisfied with Stefan, but after he saw how pitiful he looked, he felt sorry for him. He couldn't even find the words to insult Stefan, and after staring at him for a while, the little boy carefully whispered, "Stefan?"Stefan had been staring outside the window, but when he heard Adie, he turned to him with bright eyes. "You're... Adie?" Images flooded Stefan's mind, and the last one was a lovely memory of him and his
