This realization made Julian Lawson sowhat terrified.
He had never thought about these situations.
Throughout their years together, Serena Sterling had always been strong and independent.
She handled many things well, and in their careers, they supported each other, facing life and death together. She never fell short of him.
In the family, she managed everything well, took care of the house, and looked after her grandparents.
Between them as a couple, they were once harmonious, their feelings were deep.
Even though she would often wake up from nightmares because of past events, those were already things of the past.
When she was awake, she was always very independent.
In his impression, she wouldn’t be associated with these fragile words.
But now, he realized that everything might not be as he saw it.
She might really be driven mad by him, might really die.
...
On the other side, Silas Hawthorne and Serena Sterling had already returned to Hawthorne Manor.
Serena had also cald down.
Just as Silas Hawthorne said—
"Things are different now, Serena, you have bodyguards by your side, and , you’re no longer isolated."
Serena glanced at the bodyguard beside her.
Her skills were really good, faced with so many people alone, she never lost her composure, and could even stall for ti until help arrived.
"Thank you." Serena said to her.
The bodyguard nodded: "It’s part of my duty."
The sky had completely darkened.
Rehearsal ti had been long, and she had argued with Julian, she was really exhausted.
Today, the driver and Mrs. Walsh had gone to pick up Seraphina, who was now playing at ho. When she saw Serena return, she ca up to her.
Serena exchanged a few words with Seraphina and then went upstairs to the bedroom.
She was very tired and wanted to rest.
This fatigue was not just physical but ntal exhaustion.
Shayla Randall had just co by and prescribed so dication for her.
After taking the dicine, Serena washed up and lay down.
Silas Hawthorne stayed by her bedside, looking over docunts.
Serena looked at him, her eyelids gradually growing heavy.
Before long, under the effect of the dication, she fell asleep.
Silas Hawthorne looked at the sleeping Serena, clenching his hand.
The plan must be accelerated.
He must make Julian Lawson pay!
...
Ti slowly passed, Cygnus.
Ethan Lynch was hiding inside a small house, holding a docunt.
The docunt was stained with blood.
He had underestimated the institution’s security.
The situation in Cygnus is different from the country’s; one can carry guns.
The most confidential areas of the institution are heavily guarded.
Taking sothing unnoticed was nearly impossible.
However...
Ethan Lynch looked at the docunt in his hand and smiled.
He still obtained the original record of Vera Hansen.
It turns out she was feigning illness.
Only had stomach ulcers, not stomach cancer.
Moreover, the ulcers had healed, aning Vera Hansen wasn’t sick anymore!
"Buzz buzz..."
Ethan Lynch’s phone vibrated.
He looked at it; it was a call from that old friend.
Ethan Lynch glanced outside, he was currently on the mountain, with the institution at the foot. He could still hear the noise below.
Thinking it over, Ethan Lynch touched the connect button.
"Ethan!" The other person’s anxious voice imdiately ca through, "Do you know? Sothing terrible has happened; the institution you frequently visited has had an incident!"
Ethan Lynch pondered and feigned surprise: "What happened?"
"It’s unclear now, but seems like a theft," the other person said, "Moreover, the thief ssed things up inside, and so far, we don’t know what exactly was stolen."
Ethan Lynch slightly lowered his eyes, "That’s good."
He knew he couldn’t leave without trace, so he deliberately ssed things up inside, took other things, creating a false image.
Let them not know what he really wanted.
The records room held not only Vera Hansen’s files but also other people’s archives and so confidential docunts.
"Ethan, was this your doing?" The other person asked carefully, "You’ve been going frequently these days."
Ethan Lynch chuckled and said, "What am I accused of? I only learned about this institution after coming here, and they let visit, so why bother?"
Even though there might be suspicion, without evidence, it wasn’t him.
He had been prepared for a long ti and avoided surveillance.
Even though he was injured, he hadn’t left blood traces there.
Thinking, Ethan Lynch glanced at his arm, there was a scar.
Saying what he did, Ethan Lynch hung up the phone.
It was basically safe now.
There would only be road control; he needed to wait overnight until daylight, when his planned people would co to get him.
With these thoughts, Ethan Lynch cald down.
Looking at the docunt.
He wanted to tell Serena!
Serena would surely be happy!
Ethan Lynch suddenly longed for Serena.
He’s been abroad for a while now, not knowing how she had been during this ti.
Calculating the ti, it should be evening dostically, but she should still not have slept.
With this thought, Ethan Lynch called Serena.
But, for a long ti, no one answered.
Ethan Lynch was baffled.
Just as the dialing almost ended, the call was finally answered.
"Ethan Lynch?" A male voice ca through.
Ethan Lynch slightly furrowed his brows: "Silas Hawthorne?"
"It’s ," Silas Hawthorne replied from the other side.
"I called Serena," Ethan Lynch asked, "Why did you answer? Where is she?"
Ethan Lynch grew increasingly uneasy.
"She’s asleep," Silas Hawthorne said. "Is there anything urgent? I’ll tell her when she wakes."
Ethan Lynch felt more and more that things were amiss.
Silas Hawthorne staying by her side was understandable.
Silas Hawthorne saying she’s asleep seed normal too.
But he couldn’t shake the sense of unease in his heart.
"What exactly happened?" Ethan Lynch demanded seriously, "Tell !"
Silas Hawthorne glanced at the sleeping Serena, sighed deeply, then moved to another side.
"She’s sick," Silas Hawthorne replied, "The circumstances are complicated; I’ll explain when you return..."
Before Silas finished talking, a faint sound seed to call out.
Then, the call was disconnected.
Ethan Lynch grew more anxious and imdiately called Bianca.
"What happened to Serena? Tell !" Ethan Lynch demanded.
Bianca knew she couldn’t hide it, so she told the truth.
Afterwards, she worriedly added, "Brother, don’t panic, Serena is recovering."
Ethan Lynch felt like exploding with anger upon hearing this.
How could he not panic?
He needed to return!
His hand holding the docunt trembled intensely, and the wound on his arm wouldn’t stop bleeding.
He wanted to bring the docunts back imdiately!
Julian Lawson, how dare he...
And Vera Hansen!
Vera’s audacity was truly imnse, actually deceiving everyone in the country like that.
He would make Julian Lawson see, what kind of woman he had been protecting in the palm of his hand!
