Joseph spent the entire night without sleep, continuously dialing Fanny’s phone in hopes of her answering. Finally, after hours of effort, a
breakthrough occurred at eight–thirty in the morning. His heart raced with excitement as the phone rang, a departure from the usual voicemail with excitement as the phone rang, a tone. However, it took several rings before the call was finally answered.
“What have you done to Fanny!? Let Fanny speak to me!”
Recalling the menacing voice of the arrogant man from the previous night, his initial words were laden with threat. Fanny, clutching her cell phone tightly, froze at his ominous tone. With just that single sentence, she realized Joseph was aware of Kaydron’s existence. Her heart turned cold, and she swiftly ended the call without saying anything.
After returning home and taking a shower, she still felt queasy and couldn’t shake off her unease. Ignoring Joseph’s call, she opted for a tight outfit and drove to the hospital.
On the way to the hospital, she noticed Christopher had almost as many missed calls as Joseph, prompting her to call him. Christopher’s voice sounded utterly bewildered when he answered the phone, admitting he had fallen asleep and just woken up.
“Fanny?” Christopher’s voice still carried a hint of confusion.
Fanny asked in a gentle tone. “Christopher, where are you? Can you come to the hospital?”
Taken aback by her request, Christopher never refused Fanny’s appeals, so he promptly agreed, “Of course! Fanny, I’ll be there soon.”
Still groggy, he had forgotten entirely that he was not in Northland.

“Christopher, you’re so good to me.” Fanny’s voice seemed on the verge of tears, stirring Christopher’s heart and compelling him to hasten his steps. However, after a few paces, Christopher suddenly halted.
“Fanny, I–I…” He glanced around at the unfamiliar hotel decor, realizing something and unsure how to proceed.
“Christopher, what’s the matter?” She inquired softly.
Christopher smacked his head, the pain jolting him awake. He finally remembered that Jonathan had returned him to Riverdon the previous night. Unwilling to return to the Sanders Family, he quickly charged his phone to contact Fanny and ended up staying at a hotel near the airport.
Not hearing his response, Fanny grew anxious and asked urgently, “Christopher, you… you’re not going to abandon me, are you?”
Christopher instinctively denied, “No!”
Regretting his words, he struggled to backtrack.
Sensing Fanny’s distress and recalling Joseph’s words from the day before, he realized his care for her to some extent. Fanny breathed a sigh of relief, exchanged a few words, and ended the call. Seated in the car, she gazed out the window, reassuring herself that if she kept it concealed, everything would be fine as long as she kept it hidden. She clenched her fist in determination.
The taxi driver glanced at Fanny in the back seat, observing her pale complexion, and casually asked, “Are you alright, Miss?”
Startled, Fanny remained silent. Following the call, Christopher made at decision. He will return to Northland. Since he had yet to return home and was near the airport, he needed a plane ticket back. Although Fanny may want him at the hospital immediately, it should not be an issue if he arrives a bit later. With this in mind, he swiftly packed up and set off.

However, upon opening the door to his hotel room, he encountered a tall, burly man.
Initially paying little attention, the man mirrored his movements as he stepped forward, alerting Christopher to something amiss.
“Who are you? Why are you following me?” Christopher demanded.
The man remained silent.
Christopher glared at him in frustration, then ignored him and hurried towards the airport.
As he was about to enter the airport, the man who had been silent the entire journey suddenly said, “Mr. Sanders, Mr. Lawson asked me to deliver a message to you.”
Christopher was surprised and came to a halt.
“Are you acting on behalf of Jonathan?”
Upon his return, Jonathan Lawson’s men did not accompany him on the plane, so someone watched him in Riverdon.
Despite feeling a sense of unease, Christopher believed there was still room for discussion.
“Please continue.”
The man solemnly said, “If you return to Northland, you will be instructed to contact Florence, who will then approach Mr. Lawson, but he will not pay any attention to her.”
Christopher stood frozen in place. Suddenly, the airport appeared daunting, and he could not take that first step inside. When he received the call from Fanny earlier, he was too anxious and had forgotten why she

had returned to Riverdon. Now, the thought of Florence brought a wave of pain throughout his body. He never dared to question Jonathan’s words, so if he said he would not care, he truly would not. Even the bodyguard who had escorted him to the plane the previous night had mentioned the same thing. And now, this mysterious man was repeating it. Fear gripped him, causing cold sweat to break out as he trembled and turned away from the airport.
It was not until he was inside the Sanders Family car that he trembled while texting Fanny.
Shortly after, Fanny received a text from Christopher that he had changed his mind about going to the hospital.
Fanny’s eyes turned cold, a fleeting shadow passing over them. She gritted her teeth, and instead of calling Christopher again, she tried composing herself and dialed Joseph’s number. Joseph was almost glued to his cell phone and answered immediately, to which she then broke down sobbing.
Upon hearing Fanny crying, he asked anxiously, “Fanny? What’s wrong?” His heart ached at the sound of her tears.
After hanging up the phone that morning, he realized that the person who had called was not the man from the previous night but Fanny. His assumption was relatively shallow. The man from the last night had spoken rudely, making it unlikely for him to resist making a sarcastic comment, so the caller was most likely Fanny. Hearing her cry, he was even more convinced of his guess.
Considering Fanny’s emotions, Joseph called only once after she hung up and refrained from calling her again. But he waited for her to reach out, and eventually, they connected. The universe favored those with good intentions, and Fanny finally contacted him.
“Joseph.” Fanny cried for a moment before saying, “I’m on my way to the hospital. Can you meet me there?”

Fanny did not cry for long after ending the call. She did not want to say much over the phone. Calling Joseph was a way to gauge his knowledge. From his cautious demeanor, she deduced that he probably knew what Kaydron had done to her.
Soon, the taxi pulled up outside the hospital. Fanny took a deep breath, entered the building, and soon spotted Joseph with her red, swollen eyes.

Joseph quickly agreed, refraining from asking about the previous night’s events and reassuring her, “I’ll be waiting for you at the hospital, Fanny. Don’t worry, I’m here.”
