In the car, Clarence sent Vincent the picture of the medicine bottle which was printed with ‘Riverside
Pharmaceutical Factory’.
After a while, Vincent had given him a call, “What’s this?”
“It’s found in Joanna’s room.”
“It shouldn’t be, why would Joanna have this thing?”
Clarence leaned back on the back seat, the speaking tone was tepid, “Are you asking me?”
Vincent coughed. “I mean this thing shouldn’t be with Joanna, it’s so weird.”
“Then where should it be found?”
Vincent didn’t know how to answer him in a moment, he said after equivocating for a while, “What does
this bottle contain initially? Do I need to go and check at the manufacturing company?”
Clarence said, “There’s nothing, just finding out an empty bottle.”
Vincent couldn’t understand.
‘Is he crazy, he is being so mysterious and nervous just because of an empty bottle.’
“That’s it, I still have something to do.”
After hanging up the phone, Clarence closed his eyes and instructed in a low voice, “Send the photos
to those people who are sent to Riverside City, let them go to the manufacturing company and check
with it first.”
Nathan hesitated for a while, then he said, “Mr. Conrad, Mr. James…”
“He has a deep relationship with those people from Riverside City. Even if I let him investigate this
matter, he won’t get to find any useful information.”
Nathan didn’t talk anymore, it seemed that Clarence didn’t trust Vincent so much anymore compared to
the past, ever since the matters at Riverside City happened.
If Little Noah’s illness was really related to those people from Riverside City, it would be really terrible.
Half an hour later, Clarence boarded the private plane to Riverside City.
In the black car far away, Jon was watching the plane which rolled slowly, his fingers were tapping
gently on his knees and he was smiling.
Christian closed the window, “Boss, he had left.”
Jon said, “We’ve arranged it for so long, the good show has finally started.”
“But I think that this thing won’t go as smoothly as we imagine, after all, Darnell isn’t an easy-going
person, he won’t let himself get the short end of the stick in vain.”
“For sure Darnell won’t, we don’t expect at all that Clarence would be at daggers drawn and fighting
badly with him. We just want to let him know about the truth in the past by letting him go to Riverside
City.”
“But even if he knows it, that is the truth which can’t be changed anymore, it’s unlikely for him to hand
over the Conrad Group, right?”
Jon raised his eyebrows, “Not sure. Clarence will sometimes handle the matters in such an
unbelievable way, you can never understand what he is thinking.”
Christian said, “Then I’m looking forward to seeing what he will do when he knows the truth.”
Jon stretched himself, “Okay, recently the people from Clarence’s side are investigating us strictly, so
we shall follow and go overseas to hide.”
…
In the hospital…
Noah had a high fever during the night, but luckily he didn’t throw up. He had received the treatment in
time, so he didn’t suffer for too long and had fallen asleep in Stella’s arms.
Sherry looked at Stella, her heart ached for her, “Stella, you’ve taken care of him for the whole day. Let
me take care of him, you can go and sleep for a while.”
Stella shook her head, “It’s okay, I can’t fall asleep. It’s late already, you shall go back home.”
“Looking at him, I’m worried about him if I leave, I will just stay here with you.”
Stella said, “Then if you feel sleepy, you can sleep on the sofa.”
Daniel had gone to help her to investigate the connection between Joanna and those people from
Riverside City, he hadn’t come back yet.
Sherry yawned, “Okay, then I will take a nap first, you can call me when you want to sleep.”
“Okay.” Stella paused for a while, then she said, “Have you told Chan about this matter?”
“I have not had time to tell him.”
“He is going to sit for the final exam, don’t tell him for the time being, he will be distracted. It’s okay, I’m
here.”
Sherry nodded, “Don’t worry, I know.”
After Sherry fell asleep on the sofa, the ward became silent.
Stella gently scratched the itch on Noah‘s body while she turned on the phone.
It had been twelve hours since Clarence left.
Maybe he had arrived at Riverside City.
She didn’t know how everything was going on over there.
Stella sighed and put down the phone, then she looked outside the window.
It was the rainy season recently, the continuous rains had not stopped for a few days. However, it was
great that the weather was always cool. If it was the scorching summer day, probably Noah wouldn’t be
able to stand for it.
Stella stood up, she took a blanket and covered Sherry with it, then she sat beside Noah again.
She didn’t sleep for the whole night.
The next morning, the break of dawn was delayed for quite a while due to the rain.
When the nurse came and measured Noah’s body temperature, Stella went to the washroom and
washed her face using the cold water to let herself become more clear-headed.
When she just came out of the washroom, she saw that Donald was walking toward her with red eyes.
Stella didn’t understand the reason.
She moved back subconsciously.
Donald started to talk, his voice was hoarse obviously and full of unrestrainable agitation, “Where’s
Clarence!”
Stella said, “He has gone to Riverside City.”
Donald was stunned, “He has gone to Riverside City, when did he go?”
“Yesterday afternoon.” Stella looked him up and down, his hair was messy, the eyes were red, and the
dark circles were obvious, he didn’t even shave his stubble, “What’s going on with you?”
Donald had probably realized that he didn’t look nice at this moment based on Stella’s abnormal
expression, he rubbed the eyes using his hands and yawned, “I didn’t sleep for two days already, I’ve
rushed here to tell you guys when I just found out some info.”
“What’s the info?”
Donald took out a small piece of newspaper from his pocket, “This is a newspaper from Riverside City
two years ago. It’s written that there was a five-month-old baby who had experienced the same
symptoms as your son, the baby had also suffered from unknown vomiting, fever, skin rashes all over
the body…”
Stella immediately took the newspaper when hearing these.
Donald continued, “Although there’s nothing much explained in it, this is already the clue that I can find
which is somehow related. I think that this matter may be related to them since the things that had
happened in City N are closely related to the Riverside City.”
After Stella finished reading the newspaper, she asked immediately, “Do you know how’s this child at
the end?”
“I’ve inquired about this and asked my friend to contact the chief editor of the newspaper. Based on
what he said, this child was saved by a medical institution in Riverside City, he didn’t know what the
exact situation is, but it can be confirmed that this child is still alive.”
Stella gripped the newspaper slowly, then she said, “Riverside City.”
Donald continued rubbing his eyes, “But Clarence has now gone to Riverside City already, we just have
to tell him about this news and let him find the medical institution, then the things will be made easier.”
Stella turned and looked at Noah who was sleeping soundly in the bed, she pursed her lips
gently.
