After understanding what had happened, Henry nodded lightly. "I got it. I'll contact you immediately once I find something.""Alright." Lavender took a name card from her bag and handed it to Henry. "This is my contact number."Henry took the card and nodded solemnly. "Alright."Lavender quickly left as she was still worried about Jonah.After she left, Henry began to make some calls, arranging for a search team.Then, he could only wait for the news.But he was slightly shocked to know that Lavender knew Jonah. It was a small world indeed.After half an hour, Lavender arrived at the Yoder residence.Celine was also there. She had cried until her eyes were puffy. "What am I supposed to do if something happens to Jonah?""Ms. Celine…" Lavender was slightly breathless as she walked toward Celine.Celine immediately stood up when she saw Lavender. She cried and said, "Lav, it's been half a day, but there's still no news about Jonah. I'm terrified…""Ms. Celine, don't worry. Let
"Hang on, Ms. Celine. I need to take this call." Lavender glanced at the unfamiliar number.She didn't dare to miss any calls from strangers right now. After all, one of these calls might bring her news about Jonah.Lavender quickly answered the phone. "Hello?""Dr. Quince, we've located Jonah," came Henry's voice.Lavender's heart raced. "Where is he?""In the forest on top of the mountain," said Henry grimly.Anyone who lived in Dontham for years would have heard of this particular forest.The forest was known as Death Forest because many who ventured into that forest never returned. Even the most experienced adventures weren't spared from the same fate.There was no signal in the forest, making it difficult to contact the outside world. Coupled with dense trees and intricate paths, it was like entering a huge maze.No matter how one wandered, it seemed impossible to find a way out. The forest only brought despair and death to those who entered.So, most people simply avoid
"Lavender, is it worth going to such lengths for Jonah? He's already lost it! To put it bluntly, it doesn't matter if he's dead! The world will still move on without him…"Cesar's words were cut short by Lavender."He won't die!" Lavender shot him a glare. "Let me be clear. Even if the world doesn't need him, I do. Just that alone is enough reason for me to risk my life for him."With that, Lavender quickly rolled up the car window, not bothering to look at Cesar. She didn't need anyone to understand her feelings for Jonah."Lavender! Lavender!" Cesar's face turned red with anger as he watched Lavender drive off.He couldn't understand what made that idiot so special! He already lost his mind! Why was Lavender still so devoted to him?Lavender never even looked at him that way! What did Jonah have that he didn't?Maybe, back when Cesar was nothing, he wasn't as good as Jonah. But now, he was the Yoder family's heir! The Yoder family would bend to his every will!But Cesar was s
After searching for a while, the captain suddenly exclaimed, "I can see someone over there!"Everyone turned to see where the captain was pointing. Sure enough, someone was lying under the tree.Everyone immediately rushed over in that direction.Though Lavender's heart was racing, she stayed sensible and followed alongside the rescue team, trying not to cause any trouble.Soon, they reached the person.Because the person was surrounded by the rescue team, Lavender couldn't see him at all, let alone his face."Ms. Quince, please come over and confirm if this is Mr. Yoder!" came the captain's voice.The other team members quickly made way for Lavender.Lavender rushed to the person's side immediately. The moment she saw the person's face, tears welled up in her eyes.She nodded. "It's him! It's Jonah!""But, Mr. Yoder seems to have been poisoned. Look, his lips are purple, and there are some red rashes on his face." The captain pointed at Jonah's face.As a doctor, Lavender a
"Please calm down, Aunt Celine. I'll leave now," Cesar said before leaving.However, he merely found a spot where Celine couldn't see him and continued to wait. He couldn't leave before receiving any updates.While waiting outside the forest for Lavender, he also received a call from Shane. Shane asked him if the matter had been resolved.Cesar was hesitant to reply.Shane then scolded him, questioning how Cesar was supposed to take over the company if he couldn't even complete this small task.Of course, Cesar felt extremely resentful about this. He thought his plan would be foolproof. But who could have imagined that Henry would intervene?Otherwise, with Lavender's and Celine's abilities, they wouldn't have been able to find Jonah in such a short time. If they had delayed a little longer, Jonah might not have survived.Life was truly unpredictable! Now, all Cesar could do was hope that Jonah's surgery would fail.At the same time, Henry also received a call from the search a
Natalie was stunned, and her eyes flew open in surprise. "What?"Henry cleared his throat and asked earnestly, "Any requests for hugs and kisses?"Natalie burst into laughter, surprised to hear this from Henry. And with such seriousness!"Henry, you've been acting strange lately." Natalie couldn't stop her giggling fit and bent over in laughter.Henry's brows furrowed. Lately, Natalie seemed to be getting more bold.As expected, there were things better left unsaid. If he wanted a kiss, he should have just gone for it.With that in mind, Henry cupped her cheeks and kissed her.Natalie's laughter instantly died down. It was an unexpected kiss.But she quickly closed her eyes and melted into the gentle yet hungry kiss.Slowly, things got out of control. Henry's kiss landed on her neck, and his hand slipped under her clothes…Later, she found herself being lifted onto his lap. In the blink of an eye, Henry forced himself to regain his composure.Natalie was still in her postpar
"Sir, can I help you with something?" The nurse shot Cesar a puzzled look."I'm Jonah's family member. Do you have his test report?" Cesar wanted to know Jonah's condition."Yes, I have his test report here." The nurse was still on high alert."Could you show it to me?" Cesar asked earnestly.When Jonah was wheeled into the ward, Cesar couldn't help but feel a pang of concern.In the end, he hadn't received the news he had hoped for. Jonah's luck was better than he had imagined!"I'm sorry, we need to hand the report to the doctor first, and it will be given to the patient's family members in the ward later. If you want to see it, could you wait in the ward?" the nurse said.Realizing this approach wasn't working, Cesar suddenly sighed."Here's the thing, the person lying in that ward is my half-brother. I'm very concerned about his condition. But… his mother doesn't want to see me, nor will she tell me about his condition."Please understand. As an older brother, I'm worried
"I think I feel something." The long-forgotten feeling stirred excitement in Henry's heart.He had almost forgotten what it was like to feel. For the first time, Henry realized how nice it was to feel pain.One would only know true pain and sorrow when they lost their ability to feel."You think?" Lavender didn't want such ambiguous answers."Press a little harder!" Henry requested.Lavender pressed down with more force.This time, Henry could be quite certain that he felt pain. "I can feel pain."Lavender nodded thoughtfully. She looked to be deep in thought.Henry didn't dare to disturb her but quietly waited for her to give an assessment.After a while, Lavender calmly removed the needles from his acupoints and placed them back in the briefcase. "There's still hope for your legs."Henry's heart skipped a beat. He bit down his excitement and asked, "Really? I still have a chance to live a normal life?""Well, since you can feel pain, it means these nerves aren't completely
