Anyone who came to visit him received no response from Michael. He didn't even open his eyes.
It was clear that his condition was no longer just physical—his mental state also needed time to recover.
The doctor advised that only one close family member remain by his side.
"Is Michael alright?" Charlotte asked Khloe in a low voice.
Khloe didn't know how to answer. "He should gradually recover. Just give him some time. You don't need to go in—he's resting."
"I just came back from the police station. They've completely ruled out the possibility that it was the Olson family. It looks like it really was those madmen from Lacuna…" Ethan said to Khloe.
But before he could finish, the atmosphere suddenly turned cold.
He paused, then followed Khloe's gaze—Charlotte's face had gone pale. She lowered her head, lips pressed tightly together, as if drowning in unspeakable guilt.
Spence had already been arrested, and their domestic network had been wiped clean. They were now even on an international wanted list… No one had expected them to suddenly target Michael.
But apart from the Olson family, only they had the capability—and the audacity—to carry out something this large in Goldmont City.
Charlotte didn't want to face it, but she could guess it. Michael's incident was most likely connected to Noah. Lacuna's real target… must have been Noah.
She had returned home late last night, but Noah had come back even later. He had sent her a message saying he had something urgent to deal with and told her to rest early.
But they both understood without saying it. Behind that seemingly normal message, nothing was truly calm.
Noah knew Lacuna better than anyone—he must have gone to investigate Michael's situation.
Charlotte wasn't worried about Noah getting into trouble; in Goldmont City, he had full ability to protect himself.
The one without that ability… was Michael, a wealthy heir who had been sheltered and protected since childhood.
Back then, when Noah had wanted to leave, she had desperately insisted on keeping him. She had always believed that as long as two people loved each other, nothing was impossible to overcome…

The readers' comments on the novel: Billionaire's Match (by Tangy Candy)
When will chapter 1044 and more bd downloaded?...
This is the story that I like reading. The heroine got the hold of the situation right away. No humiliation, no injustice, which keep the readers feeling bad all the way while waiting for the right thing to settle in favor of the heroine. Good storyline,congrats writer!...
