Fortunately, good news came soon. One day, Mandy heard hurried footsteps in the hallway. She quickly got out of bed and approached the door. As expected, she saw Jack in a rush, along with doctors and nurses, pushing two beds toward the room next door.
Although they moved fast, Mandy caught a glimpse of the two figures on the beds. It was Charlotte and Joe.
Both seemed terrible, but thankfully, they were still alive.
After a long while, Jack entered the room with a weary face.
Mandy hurriedly approached him and asked, "Is Miss Clinton safe now?"
Jack nodded, a faint smile appearing on his face. "Yes, those who kidnapped Miss Clinton have been dealt with. She and Mr. Smith suffered, but they've been rescued."
Hearing this, Mandy finally let out a sigh of relief.
She had felt somewhat helpless recently, constantly worried. Even though she knew that Sharon wouldn't stand by idly, no one could be certain until they were safely back.
"Thanks, you've been working hard."
Mandy noticed the wrinkled suit on Jack and the prominent dark circles under his eyes, clear signs that he hadn't been having the best of times lately.
It made sense. Ever since Joe found Charlotte, the two of them had been trapped in a cave. One could only imagine the immense pressure on Jack alone.
Anyone else might have fallen apart by now.
Jack smiled, shaking his head. "Not just Miss Clinton, but Mr. Smith is also crucial to me. What I've done is nothing in comparison."
Mandy suddenly realized that no matter the situation, Jack always maintained a calm demeanor, never blaming others.
