Even Leia, who had always been lively and active, fell silent completely.
An unprecedented fear gripped her.
Suddenly, a cold breeze swept past her. Leia looked up and caught a glimpse of a pure white dress disappearing from sight.
...
Osvaldo had just descended the stairs when he heard an explosion outside the window, accompanied by numerous panicked screams.
A bad feeling instantly rose in his heart, and he rushed downstairs as as possible. What he saw was a chaotic scene of firefighters rushing to put out the flames, and faces pale with despair.
When everyone saw that Osvaldo's gaze was fixed on the car that had been blown to pieces, all the doctors and nurses present shivered in fear.
"Miss Hattie... is in the car..."
At the moment when they heard this news, everyone thought Osvaldo would fly into a rage.
But to their surprise, the black-haired man turned around and got into a car. The black sports car disappeared from view in an instant.
The group of people watched in amazement as the man left, realizing for the first time just how fast a car could go.
...
Leon had just returned to the Riddle family in his car when his phone in his pocket started vibrating.
He looked at the number and saw that it was Alfie calling him.
After the Soo family incident was resolved, Alfie had never contacted him again. Given the man's uninterested nature, he would never call unless there was something important.
Looking at the call, Leon suddenly had an extremely bad premonition.
He didn't answer immediately. Instead, he walked to the side of the road, lit a cigarette, and smoked it leisurely before finally answering the phone, which he had yet to hang up.
The man's voice was hoarse and he asked, "What's wrong?"
Alfie's gentle and cold voice came through the phone. "The Riddle family can't be saved. Leave there."
Leon's fingers tightened, and he raised his hand to pinch his brow bone. "She promised me that she wouldn't hurt anyone."
Selena had promised him that she wouldn't harm anyone in the Riddle family.
Alfie hesitated for a moment before saying, "Hattie is dead."
Leon froze at once.
He stood still for a long time before asking, "What did you say?"
"Hattie is dead," Alfie repeated, "she died in the ambulance after being rescued."
Leon's expression froze for a moment before he regained his composure. "They can't tolerate such a mistake..."
Neither Selena nor Osvaldo would send an untrustworthy person to pick up Hattie.
"They won't make mistakes, but some people are born without humanity," Alfie said softly, "Hattie was with that illegitimate child at the time, they would have guarded themselves against their own people, but they didn't have a chance to guard against that illegitimate child."
Leon choked up.
He had received a phone call earlier and knew that Ache had saved Hattie.
Perhaps it was because Ache had her mother's heart in his body that she would instinctively trust, be close to, and like the stranger who suddenly appeared...
Selena and Leon both felt that as long as Ache's identity was not exposed, he would not harm Hattie, since he had saved her so many times.
So they temporarily let the other person approach Hattie.
Hattie had just gone through the painful process of her mother's death, and having her mother's heart with her at this time would make her happy and joyful...
Had that woman been guarding against this day all along?
