"Not yet, Mr. Chase ..." the leader trailed off.Henry's brows furrowed tightly. The longer this dragged on, the higher the chances were of something going wrong.As he drove, he surveyed his surroundings, desperately hoping to catch a glimpse of that familiar figure.However, time ticked by, and there was still no sign of her.Suddenly, large rocks fell from the top of the mountain.The people in the vehicles behind Henry saw this. They quickly rolled down their windows and shouted at Henry's car, "Mr. Chase! Look out! It's rockfalls!"However, Henry couldn't hear them through the heavy rain combined with the crash of falling rocks. By the time he realized it, it was already too late. The rocks smashed his car window.The glass shattered."Mr. Chase!"Three hours later, Henry woke up in the hospital.His forehead was heavily bandaged, and there were faint traces of blood on it.The wound on his forehead was caused by both the shattered window glass and by hitting the st

The screen lit up, and Natalie's heart began to race.Not long after, she received a bunch of missed call notifications.Missed calls. Why were so many people calling her?Natalie quickly clicked open the messages and read through them.Surprisingly, the person who called the most was Henry, followed by her father. They had both called her multiple times. The bad feeling she was feeling earlier returned.Natalie decided to return her father's call first. She held her breath as she waited for the call to connect. When her father answered, Natalie anxiously started talking, but her father cut her off, "Natalie, where have you been? Why are you only calling back now?"Her father sounded nervous. Natalie's heart tightened, and she quickly asked, "Dad, what happened? Is something wrong?"Daniel sighed. "Henry's grandmother ... she's gone."Natalie was shocked beyond words. Her hands trembled, and she almost dropped her phone. How could this be? So, Henry's grandmother … passed a

Back inside the building, Henry took out his phone and cut off the call.Natalie furrowed her brows when the call ended. She resorted to sending him messages. Her fingers flew across the keyboard, sending one message after another."Henry, let me in to see Grandma.""Just a single glance!""I'm begging you! Won't you let me in? Please don't punish me with this. Please!""I want to see Grandma one last time! I'm begging you!"She looked up after each message. Yet, she was only met with Henry's cruel indifference.Harry noticed Natalie and could tell that something was off between the two.He approached Henry. "What are you doing? Why won't you let Natalie in?""Harry, this is between the two of us. Please don't ask about it." Henry didn't want to elaborate.Harry gave Natalie, who was forced to stay outside, a look of pity. "Just let her in. Don't let this escalate. It might affect the child."Henry did not back down at this.He coldly hissed, "I'm being merciful for even

Henry suddenly turned to Natalie with a gaze as sharp as a knife.The injury on his forehead didn't seem serious, but he had been experiencing a lingering pain since the night before. While he was driving, a sudden pain had shot through him, and his vision had blurred. Even though he had reacted quickly and stepped on the brakes, he couldn't avoid the collision.And all his suffering happened because he was searching for Natalie. But what about her? Whenever he recalled Natalie being with Sheldon yesterday, he found himself unable to forgive her!"I don't need your concern!" Henry huffed.Natalie frowned at him. "You shouldn't drive if you're not feeling well."Henry didn't respond. He rested his head on the steering wheel. Since yesterday, he had endured immense fatigue and felt mentally exhausted.After some rest, Henry raised his head again. But Natalie was nowhere to be seen.He sneered. She was so patient with Sheldon. But when it came to him, she disappeared in just ten

There were bodyguards downstairs, so Natalie couldn't enter. She had to wait outside.They could see Natalie if they looked out the window Henry was standing next to.Henry could see her, too. He knew he was being mean, but he harbored too much resentment toward her. And they thought he was going to be kind to her?Henry huffed coldly. "She can go home if she can't handle it. No one is forcing her to wait outside."Shirley felt sorry for Natalie. She spoke up, "Henry, she's just worried about Grandpa. Knowing her, she won't leave until she knows how the surgery went.""What does that have to do with me?" Henry remained unmoved.Harry and Shirley didn't know what to say.Cliff sneered, "You two are worrying too much! She isn't carrying the Chase family's bloodline! Why should we worry about her?"Just then, the light above the operating room switched off. Everyone stood up eagerly.Soon, a nurse pushed Owen through the doors. He was still unconscious. No one could tell what was
