The more he stared at Cindy, the more dissatisfied Henrick became.
He had gone to the psychiatric hospital after talking to Arielle that afternoon.
Coincidentally when Henrick entered the hospital, a nurse and a doctor were talking about a man
named Matthias who had visited Cindy there every day. Sometimes, Matthias even stayed in Cindy’s
ward for an entire day. Therefore, the nurse and doctor knew that something was fishy between them.
Hearing that, Henrick had to fight back the impulse to confront the nurse and doctor. He hurriedly left
the hospital after that.
If there was one thing he could not accept, it was his wife cheating on him. After all, he would never be
able to hold his head high in Jadeborough anymore.
However, if the nurses and doctors in the hospital were not just gossiping or speaking nonsense, he
would not let Cindy off the hook.
He would beat her to death if that happened.
After letting out a heavy sigh, he tried to hide his emotions before he returned to talk to the guests.
I’ll confront her after the guests leave. I can’t let any outsiders know about this!
Meanwhile, Arielle put down her cutlery as she turned
to look at a direction in confusion.
She saw Malorie walking unsteadily with Alan holding her, as if she had just seen a ghost.
It did not escape her notice that Malorie had become like that after the latter saw her and shrieked in
shock just now.
Touching her cheek self-consciously, Arielle wondered, Do I look that scary?
On the other side of things, after leaving the Southall residence, Vinson finally met with Blake, who had
been missing for over two weeks, at the mansion.
Sasha, who had completely recovered, was crying in Blake’s arms.
When Vinson entered the mansion, Jordan took several steps back instinctively.
However, no one noticed that.
Vinson walked toward Blake as he asked, “You’re back?”
“Yes!” Blake wiped his tears and sniffled in embarrassment.
Blake was fifteen years old that year. He knew that he should not cry as he was a man now. However,
he could
not hold back his tears when he saw Sasha crying.
After he saw Vinson, he quickly bowed down. “I’m sorry, Mr. Vinson! Sorry for getting you worried!”
Vinson sighed and patted Blake’s shoulder. “You silly boy. Tell me now. Where have you been the past
two weeks?”
Sasha had been too busy crying just now to ask the same question, so she hurriedly added, “Yeah! We
were looking for you. Where have you been?”
Blake kept his head low as he explained everything guiltily.
“Our car fell into the water, and I went into a coma. When I opened my eyes, someone was breaking
the window. The water level was already at my nose by then. I could tell that the person who was
breaking the window was well-trained. Worried that it might be the driver who hit our car, we got out
from the trunk of the car and swam out of the river. I was injured at that time. When I was about to lose
all my strength, I saw a boat. The people on the boat saved me after they saw me. I lost my
consciousness again after I was dragged onboard.
After I woke up, I found myself in a town thousands of miles away near the sea. The people on the boat
brought me there. They stay in a rural village. Since I was injured and lost the device to contact all of
you, and I was also afraid that those people would find me if I contacted you with a mobile phone, I
begged them to let me stay for some time. After I recovered, I finally set off to come back. That’s what
happened.”
Blake suddenly slapped his head and exclaimed, “Oh, right! The people of the village said that they’re
indebted to someone here. They wanted me to send my gratitude to this person in Jadeborough. Her
name is… Arielle Moore.”
