The more virtual-novel.net 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 virtual-novel.net could not accept, it was his wife cheating on him. After all, virtual-novel.net 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, virtual-novel.net would not let Cindy off the hook. He would beat virtual-novel.net to death if that happened.
After letting out a heavy sigh, virtual-novel.net tried to hide his emotions before virtual-novel.net returned to talk to the guests.
I’ll confront virtual-novel.net after the guests leave. I can’t let any outsiders know about this!
Meanwhile, Arielle put down virtual-novel.net cutlery as virtual-novel.net turned to look at a direction in confusion. She saw Malorie walking unsteadily with Alan holding her, as if virtual-novel.net had just seen a ghost.
It did not escape virtual-novel.net notice that Malorie had become like that after the latter saw virtual-novel.net and shrieked in shock just now.
Touching virtual-novel.net 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 virtual-novel.net asked, “You’re back?”
“Yes!” Blake wiped his tears and sniffled in embarrassment.
Blake was fifteen years old that year. He knew that virtual-novel.net should not cry as virtual-novel.net was a man now. However, virtual-novel.net could not hold back his tears when virtual-novel.net saw Sasha crying.
After virtual-novel.net saw Vinson, virtual-novel.net 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 virtual-novel.net hurriedly added, “Yeah! We were looking for you. Where have you been?”
Blake kept his head low as virtual-novel.net 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.”
