Joey didn't expect that Zachary had always known Monica's whereabouts. She slightly lifted her head to look at Zachary.Zachary became visibly nervous. He tightly grasped her wrist and confessed without hesitation, "I have indeed been aware of where Grandma went, but it's because I'm concerned about her."I planned to keep an eye on her from behind without interfering in what she was doing, so I could feel at ease. But now, something unexpected has occurred. We need to hurry to Imperia." "My grandma went to Imperia?" Joey asked. The next second, she was being led out of the hospital by him.Zachary was worried, but he took into account Joey's back injury, so his steps were much slower than usual."Yes, but I don't know why she went to Imperia," Zachary replied.Joey's heart tightened. "Zachary, are you so anxious because you know this trip could be dangerous for her?""No, it's just that Grandma is old and not very good with directions. It would be troublesome if she got lost,"

During the meal, Lawrence's phone buzzed. The ingratiating smile on his face disappeared, replaced by a fearsome air that no one could ignore.Joey couldn't help but think that he sure looked scary if he was serious."So it's confirmed that the Fulhams did it? Okay. Once I finish the meal with Miss—" Before Lawrence could finish, his phone was snatched away by Joey."I'm ready now. Send me the address. We'll come over right away."Joey then hung up before passing the phone to Lawrence, who was smiling dryly.After Lawrence took his phone, he lamented, "It's an expensive restaurant, you see. Think about the bill I have to get later. And think about the food. They'll be sad if no one wants them.""We can eat another time. This meal is on me. My grandmother is more important," said Joey.Lawrence stood up and grumbled, "Mr. Gray didn't want you to go about your business with an empty stomach. But hey, he told me to obey you so I—"Joey ignored Lawrence's tiny rant and left with he

Monica remained reticent. She thought that everything was over after she and that old woman reached an agreement, that Yvonne wouldn't harm Joey again. Joey would just spend her life in Eldeville.But the assault on Lawrence made Monica realize how powerless she was.The Fulhams could get away after they reneged on their promise. And if Joey was dead, there'd be no point in publicizing the secret she had been keeping for so long.Her sole wish was that Joey could grow up happily next to her."Zachary, can you promise me you won't tell Joey what I'm about to tell you? I don't want to lose her."I raised her, you know? She has had a tough life, and I want her to be happy." Monica looked at Zachary with tearful eyes.Zachary already knew what was about to happen. "I promise, Monica." He held Monica's hands."Joey was in the river when I found her. She couldn't remember anything because she hit her head somewhere, and she lost part of her memory."But I didn't care. I didn't want h

Sensing Zachary's gaze, Joey looked at herself and turned away, embarrassed."It doesn't hurt anymore, as long as I don't lift heavy things or bend down.""Do we do it in a room or here?" asked Zachary sternly. His tone suggested that he wouldn't take no for an answer."I'll ask Selena to come and help me. You should go back. Grandma and I are grateful for your help in Imperia, but it's not appropriate to ask you to change my dressing."Zachary looked at Joey and uttered plainly, "Why? Do you think I'll do something to you?""You know I don't mean it that way," answered Joey calmly.Zachary gazed at Joey with his dark, mystified eyes. "I won't do anything to you. I'll go back and rest up once it's done."Joey looked away. "Just go back now. You must be tired after this eventful day. Besides, I have Grandma with me."Then, Joey walked toward her room.Zachary stood up and relented, "Fine. You can seek your own help."It's your body anyway. If you don't love your body, far be i

Hanson only started investigating yesterday, so he did not have the answer. Besides, he was told that someone was actively impeding the investigation."I don't know," answered Hanson calmly."It's Lawrence of the Howard family in Imperia. He's very close to Zachary."Since he barely survived the stabbing, it's safe to assume that Zachary will focus his fire on your family now." Kenneth's tone was tinged with worry."Lawrence, huh?" Hanson cast his eyes downward.Among the high society in Imperia, that name used to evoke laughter. But now, no one would even dare to mention it, thanks to Zachary."You know what Zachary is like. Without Lawrence's intervention, the one in the operating room could have been Joey."Both of them are equally important to him. Do you think he'll play nice now that the people he holds close are in danger?"If your family doesn't give him an explanation, he'll give you hell."While Kenneth was mad at what the Fulhams did, he knew that Hanson had no part
