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
They loved each other deeply, but the pain of being together seemed greater than when they were apart. If that was the case, Stefan felt that it was more logical to distance himself from Renee. "What do you mean? Are you going to give my mommy up?" Stefan's words filled Adie with displeasure. It was one thing prohibiting Stefan from getting close to Renee, but it was another thing if Stefan tried to stay away from Renee."No, it's not that I want to give her up, but I... I just want her to be happy," Stefan said quietly, feeling like he could never make Renee happy. "It's useless if all you do is talk; you have to do something if you want to make my mommy happy. Yes, I said I don't want to see you with my mommy, but why didn't you try to change my mind?" Adie huffed disapprovingly, then demanded, "Do you still love my mommy?" "Yes, I do." Stefan nodded firmly without any hesitation."Then, have you ever tried to win a woman over?" Adie asked, raising a brow."No..." After thin
Adie looked at Stefan solemnly. "My mommy might be in trouble because even though she couldn't do video calls, she could still make voice calls. I don't think she's being controlled by someone, and I've already found her location… but I can't save her. I need your help.""What?" Anxiety seized Stefan when he recalled that Renee's last location had been in Jovan's manor. He clenched his fists, ashamed at himself for thinking that she had been on a date with Jovan when there was clearly something more sinister at hand. If she wasn't in trouble, she would have surely had a video call with her children. "Stop daydreaming. Are you going to help or not? If you can't, I'm going to call the cops and ask them for help." Adie had regarded Stefan as his last resort, and he could only call the cops if Stefan refused to help. However, he knew that the cops would be very slow, and they would definitely ask for evidence. In fact, the cops might not even take him seriously since he was just a child
