Jeffrey had assumed her pain was real, and so he'd prioritized driving her to the hospital over answering his ringing phone.
Upon arrival, he'd shouldered Heather into the cardiology ward.
After all the hustle and bustle, he was drenched in sweat and only remembered his ignored calls when he finally took a seat to rest. He pulled out his phone to see several missed calls from his assistant, followed by a call from Everett.
Since he hadn't picked up, Everett had messaged him.
[I'm on board and heading back to Eldorria City. Get back to me when you see this]
Just as Jeffrey was about to reply to the message, his assistant called him again.
He wondered if there was a problem with the kid.
“Hello? What’s up?”
“Mr. Turner, you asked me to come to the hotel to look after the kid. I’m here, but... there's no kid in this room!”
Jeffrey shot up from his chair.
“What did you say?!”
“There’s no kid in this room. I tried calling you, but you didn’t pick up. I asked the front desk, and they said... they said a man came and took the kid!”
Jeffrey felt a pit in his stomach.
Had he lost Everett’s son?
“Quick, go look for him! Have them check the surveillance video and find out where that man took him! You must find him!”
“I understand, Mr. Turner.”
After hanging up the phone, Jeffrey's hands were shaking.
If he were to tell Everett now that the kid was lost...
He didn’t even dare think about the consequences.

Sometimes Karen can be such a drama queen and immature....
For some reason I am now feeling suspicious about Kevin's new girlfriend....
I really hope this Perdita person is not a new villain....
I too echoed the sentiments of pppplllleeeaaaassssseeeeee bring this drama to an end. I beg of you!...
Really please finish this book and upload the full story so it can end. It's been drugout for so long!...
The intimate scenes in this story or uncomfortable to read. They either come off as being forced, painful, or simply not enjoyable....
Okay I left a long while ago and came back. Looks like it's been updated but still not done lol. I'll maybe wait 6 months before coming back and it'll probably still be going on. It's like a soap opera instead of a novel...
Kenneth is confirming something I've been thinking about him for several hundred chapters ago and that is he is a future murder suicide perpetrator. And after reading chapter 1275 yeah it's just brought the thought back....
How could Jeffrey throw the knife down at the scene of the crime with both their fingerprints on there?...
Again no update, so is this where it ends? Or post the whole book. Your dragging this out...
