The men he sent were elite soldiers he had nurtured for many years. Although they were his subordinates, he wasn’t a heartless capitalist. Learning that his men had fallen, he couldn’t remain indifferent.
“Are you sure he landed on Shelland Island?” Jeremy’s face was cold.
“I’m sure. We couldn’t give up, so we approached Shelland Island again at night. We saw Jeffrey’s yacht docked on the shore. There were no other suitable islands nearby. He must be there.”
Landon’s man sounded extremely sure.
“Okay, thank you for your hard work.
Jeremy’s attitude was very gentle, even with a hint of guilt. “When we go back, I’ll thank you properly on behalf of Mr. Harper. Now, let me handle the rest.”
“Y-You’re coming? Those people are extremely ruthless. Killing is as easy as blinking for them! We have been on the edge of the knife, but we had no way to deal with them. Y-You-“
“Those people are not ordinary gangsters. Many of them have a background as mercenaries and are in cahoots with Jeffrey. Your won’t be able to handle them.”
“Jeremy, don’t force yourself. Life is more important than anything else.”
Landon couldn’t help but feel anxious, grabbing Jeremy’s arm tightly. Do you know how many people will be heartbroken for you if something happens to you? How am I going to explain to Lyse and
“I have seen the world, dude. I survived the Luminara battlefield, and today, I’ll surely come back unscathed.”
Jeremy smiled, patting Landon’s shoulder reassuringly. “Don’t worry. I’ll be fine. Lyse is waiting for me to come home. And my mother will also bless me from heaven.”
For Sophia, the most painful thing was not being grounded but not being able to see Tristan and administer the medication. That was the real agony.
It had been two days. She had tried various methods to secretly escape from Seaview Manor, but it was all in vain.
This time, Javier was determined to confine her like a prisoner.
“Mom. Mom?”
It was late at night. Betty carried a food container and stood outside the door. She knocked gently.
“You haven’t eaten anything all day. You can’t keep going like this. I brought some food for you. They’re all your favorites. Open the door, Mom.”
However, there was no response from inside the room.
Betty started to feel uneasy, so she turned the doorknob. To her surprise, the door was not locked.
She felt a surge of anger.
The servants of the Walsh family were opportunistic and snobbish.
News of Javier wanting to divorce Sophia had spread throughout the Walsh family. Seeing Sohpia lose power, they started to neglect her.
They said they delivered her food, but she didn’t open the door.
However, the door was not even locked. They were just lying down on the job.
Betty entered cautiously. The room was pitch dark, making her shiver involuntarily.
Suddenly, moans of pain echoed from the bedroom.
Betty’s anxiety heightened, and she ran toward the bedroom door.
Upon opening the door, she dropped the food container in shock, nearly shouting.
Sophia looked like a scorched caterpillar, disheveled, with a deathly pale face that resembled a skeleton.
“It hurts… It hurts so much… I’m in so much pain!” Sophia cried out in agony, trembling all over.
Betty’s scalp was tingling. She pressed her back against the door panel. “Mom … W-What’s wrong with you?”
Even though that was her mother, Betty became so frightened, as if she had encountered a ghost.
“Betty… I’m dying… I’m dying.”
Sophia tumbled off the bed, crawling toward Betty and clutching Betty’s skirt. “No one can help me now… Only you… Only you can help me.”
“W-What should I do?” Betty asked, trembling.
Betty’s eyes widened, and fear gripped her. “What’s going on, Mom?”
“Go find Dr. McAlister. Ask him to bring the medicine to me. I can inject it myself.”
At the mention of the medicine, a glint of determination flashed in Sophia’s dim eyes. She widened her bloodshot eyes. “As long as I have that medicine… everything will be fine. Without it… I’d rather die!
“Mom! You’re like a drug addict now! You can’t inject that stuff anymore. That Dr. McAlister is harming you!”
Betty was both anxious and angry, almost on the verge of tears. Event if she were foolish, she knew what her mother’s so-called “medicine”
If Sophia’s current state were seen and word got out, that would be the end of everything.
“I asked you to go… Just go!”
Sophia fell into hysterical madness, tearing Betty’s dress apart. “If I’m finished… you’re finished too! Do you think Javier will protect you? Will he continue to dote on you?
“He hates me… and he will hate you too! Your sister has Landon protecting her now. What do you have? You only have me!”
Betty’s face turned pale, shocked to the core.
With no other choice, Betty followed the address Sophia provided, sneaking out of Seaview Manor in the dead of night.
She sped recklessly, partly to save time and to vent her inner frustration.
As she recalled Sophia’s words about her sister having Landon to protect her while she had nothing, her eyes turned red from resentment. She let out a roar and honked the horn furiously to release her anger.
Why did that idiot have such a good fate? Why?
It seemed that Sophia couldn’t meet her demise so soon. Otherwise, Betty’s future in the Walsh family would be precarious, and no one. would bother planning her future for her.
On the other side, Tristan was packing up at the hospital, preparing to leave Solana City temporarily.
Suddenly, his phone rang. I
Seeing that it was Alyssa calling, Tristan smiled and immediately answered.
“Ms. Alyssa.”
“Dr. McAlister, are you still in Solana City?”
“Yes, I haven’t left yet, but I’m about to head to the airport. What do you need?”
Alyssa paused for a moment and then said in a low voice, “Don’t leave tonight. I’ll reschedule your flight for you.”
“Did something happen?”
Tristan appeared concerned. “Do you have other arrangements? If so, I won’t leave.”
In fact, he had no intention of leaving. He wasn’t afraid of trouble. He was worried he couldn’t help her.
“Betty will be at your hospital in a while. She must have come to see you for Sophia.”
At that moment, Alyssa was in the villa in Solana City, organizing
Her actions resembled a gentle wife’s, but her words were icy cold.
“I heard that Mr. Javier has grounded Sophia. Without his orders, she can’t leave Seaview Manor. She hasn’t been able to inject the drug recently. I imagine she’s in great agony now.”
Tristan calculated the time and nodded slowly. “Indeed. Sophial should have come for an injection the day before yesterday. It’s been two days now, and she must be experiencing withdrawal symptoms.
“Yes, so when Betty comes, she will be asking you for the drugs.” ¡ü
Alyssa hummed a tune, hanging Jeremy’s robe in the wardrobe. “When she comes, give them all to her. Let Sophia enjoy them.”
“Ms. Alyssa, why is that?”
