"Mom…" Natalie could only gently wrap her arm around Yvonne's shoulder, offering her some comfort in the quiet.Any other words, even if spoken, would seem to fall short in comparison.Yvonne lifted her head and blinked several times, as if she was trying to force the tears back.After a moment, she appeared to regain some semblance of control over her emotions and spoke again, "Jackson's body was sent for an autopsy. The police also checked his phone, but it had fallen into the river and wouldn't turn on anymore, so that clue has turned cold."Otherwise, they could have checked to see if Jackson had received any calls from anyone.That could have been a clue."Mom, given what's happened, all you can do is to properly grieve and wait for the police to issue a statement," Henry consoled Yvonne.Yvonne raised her hand and wiped her wet face again. She nodded slightly, saying, "It's just that I received this news so suddenly that I find myself somewhat unable to accept it."Even i

Witnessing Shirley in such a state only deepened Harry's distress, and he simply didn't dare to tell her the truth, let alone show her the photos.That would be too cruel of him! Unbearably cruel!"Shirley, please, just hear me out for a moment…" Harry said, intending to offer her some comfort.But Shirley abruptly pushed him away as her eyes reddened. "Was Luke kidnapped? He was taken away, wasn't he?"Before Harry could respond, Shirley collapsed and cradled her head in utter despair. "I knew it… It wasn't a dream. It was real… Luke was really taken away!""Shirley…" Harry had barely reached out to touch Shirley's hand when she darted toward the front door."I need to find Luke! I have to bring my son back!""Shirley, don't do this!" Harry pursued her, but he received a sharp slap across his cheek when he grasped Shirley's arm."I'm going to find my son. What does that have to do with you? Why are you stopping me? No one should interfere!" Shirley's eyes blazed with a fierc

Yet Harry chose to trust Henry even in such a situation.He looked at Henry with eager eyes and said, "Tell me!""Let's get in the car first. I'll slowly explain it to you on our way to the police station," Henry said with a grave demeanor."The police station? So, we're going to involve the police?" Harry was still unclear about Henry's exact plan."Yes, we only stand a chance to successfully rescue Luke with proper coordination," Henry replied.After a moment's hesitation, Harry decided to place his faith in Henry.He gave a slight nod. "Okay."An hour later, Harry drove to the address given by the perpetrator.They arrived at an abandoned field encircled by unruly and tall weeds that seemed to form a natural barrier, obscuring any view beyond them.Harry could neither spot the perpetrator nor determine where the police might be concealed.His uncertainty was palpable, yet he tried to calm his nerves. After all, the fates of both Felix and Lucas rested in his hands."Felix

The doctor was taken aback by Harry's actions."Sir, please… We're genuinely powerless. If there truly was a way, we wouldn't hesitate to bring him back either," the doctor said helplessly.But Harry seemed deaf to their words, his desperation driving him to bow before them. "Please, I beg you!" The doctor was at a loss as they turned their earnest gazes toward Henry, who was approaching them.Henry hadn't been present at the site today because his disability precluded his participation.Besides, being at the scene wouldn't have just been impractical for him, it could have also posed an obstruction for the police.So, he had only been briefed on the day's tragic events by the police during the aftermath.Despite having envisioned various scenarios, the reality of Lucas's demise had never crossed Henry's mind.After all, who would've thought that Logan had already killed Lucas? In fact, Logan had never intended to let Lucas return alive to Harry's side.It was a harsh reminder

Henry looked at Natalie with a complicated look.It wasn't that he was making a mountain out of a molehill. Rather, both they and those around them had encountered too many events in recent times.And this led him to believe a notion he had once encountered—a person's mindset can gradually age. And this wasn't because of the passage of time, but rather because of their experiences."If there's nothing pressing, perhaps it's best to stay at home for a while. After all, there's no harm in it," Henry suggested without disclosing his concern about Natalie's background.However, his intuition told him that Natalie's background couldn't be kept hidden for long.Natalie was also well aware of Henry's disposition, so she knew that further inquiry would be futile if he chose to stay silent.Thus, she nodded without further question. "Alright, then please take me home."After witnessing, particularly, what had happened with Lucas, Natalie believed even more firmly that if someone wanted y
