In the reconnaissance department, all you could hear were the sounds of keyboards, computer
mouses, and fax machines. The people in the department were hard at work. The reconnaissance
department had a total of ten employees, and all of them were world-renowned private detectives.
Nathan had employed them at a high price. When they weren't busy, they could be found drinking tea
and reading newspapers, but when they were busy, they worked nonstop.
Fred was also seated in front of his computer. He had created a graph of Doctor Ouyang's and Eve's
friend circles. This way, he could clearly see who they'd been close to over the years.
Earlier, Nathan hadn't asked Fred to investigate Eve in detail. He assumed that Eve would not be able
to stir up any trouble, but he had since found out that she could be vicious.
Nathan would not be able to catch Eve without any solid evidence. She wouldn't admit until she was
presented with evidence.
"Fred, should we investigate the matter that happened twenty years ago?" Aryka was biting her pen. It
was difficult to investigate Ouyang since he had traveled to so many countries. It would take a long
time to pull out everything he had done.
Fred stood up and walked towards Aryka. She was frowning tightly at her computer screen. Ouyang
had gone to a lot of places. It was impossible to get a hold of all the information in a short period of
time, even if they were private detectives.
"Investigate it," Fred said as he gritted his teeth, and his face darkened. On the screen, Aryka was
reading about Ouyang's university records.
Fred had previously studied psychology and knew that university was important to people. The social
circle you had at university would directly influence what kind of person you would become in the
future.
"Ouyang didn't have any friends in college, but he had a crush on a woman named Elizabeth," Aryka
said.
Fred narrowed his eyes and ordered, "Investigate this Elizabeth."
"Yes, sir!"
Half an hour later, Aryka had obtained a full report on Elizabeth. It stated that she was a student who
graduated from Oxford University. She stayed with the school after graduation. From an assistant tutor,
she worked her way up to become a professor. She had mentored many excellent students in her life,
and the last student she had taught was Mandy!
Fred's eyes fell on Mandy's name on the report. 'This is a possible clue, ' he thought. He gazed at the
computer screen intently and printed out all the reports about Elizabeth.
The next day
All news of Adrian being hospitalized was blocked by Nathan. Only a handful of family members knew
about the incident. Since he was a famous man, he had always been a popular subject in the media.
That meant that Adrian was also under scrutiny. Nathan didn't want Adrian's childhood to be affected
and disturbed by the media, so he had guards placed in the hospital to prevent reporters from entering.
The ICU ward Adrian was staying at was on the 23rd floor of the inpatient department. All of the other
patients had been transferred to other levels.
In the Ye Family's villa
Nacy rushed to put on her windbreaker. For convenience, she chose not to wear high heels. Since
reconciling with Simon, she had worn flat shoes every day. As a big star in the past, she paid close
attention to her image while shopping and walking, because the paparazzi followed her everywhere.
Nacy would not return to the entertainment industry anytime soon, so she was free to do as she
wished.
Simon took out the herbal soup from the kitchen and handed it to Nacy. Smiling softly, he said, "Nacy,
wait a moment before you take it."
Nacy patted herself on the head. She was the type of person who often forgot things. Simon was the
one who reminded her to take her medicine and even got up at four o'clock in the morning to decoct
the medicine for her.
"I would've forgotten again if you didn't mention it," Nacy said as she smiled sheepishly at him. She had
been worried about Adrian's illness.
'What was going on between Nathan and Mandy? They didn't tell me the news until this morning, ' she
thought. In the morning, she was informed that Adrian had been injured and hospitalized. She
immediately got dressed, washed her face, and readied herself to go to the hospital.
"Nathan assured me that Adrian is fine for the time being. Don't worry about him too much. If you're in
a hurry, you're more likely to do something wrong. It's better if you take your time." Holding the bowl of
Chinese medicine, Simon blew on it and then looked at Nacy thoughtfully.
"Are you trying to say that I'm careless?" Nacy crossed her arms and squinted at Simon.
Thanks to Simon, Nacy was well cared for. During their last fight, they had both realized each other's
flaws.
After experiencing their share of conflict, Simon and Nacy were finally opening up to one another. They
realized how much they loved each other. If they could be separated easily, they wouldn't have been
together in the first place.
It was fate that brought them together.
"I wouldn't dare…" Simon said playfully. "It's not hot anymore. You can drink it now." Simon smiled and
looked at Nacy with gentle eyes.
Nacy smelt the bitter medicine but obediently drank it in one go. After finishing the medicine, she
frowned.
"If I had known I would suffer from drinking Chinese medicine, I wouldn't have gotten myself pregnant."
Nacy set aside the bowl, her mouth twisting in disgust.
Simon gently handed her a cup of tea and said with a smile, "Have some tea, honey. It won't taste bitter
after you drink this."
Nacy arched a brow at him and took the teacup from him. She drank it all. The temperature of the tea
was just right.
"Simon, thank you for everything you've done for me. When I get better, we will have a baby. I want to
quit the entertainment industry. My desire to be a big star has long passed." Nacy put down the teacup
and looked up. A hint of gentleness appeared in her beautiful eyes. She suddenly felt happy, just like
the weather outside.
"Why did you suddenly change your mind? Isn't it a dream of yours to be an actress?" Simon felt guilty.
He thought that Nacy wanted to quit for the sake of their lost baby.
