Ch. 2801..2810

Chapter 2801

Luckily, Riley did not make a sound from the moment Sean picked her up as though she truly understood what Sean said and stayed quiet. With Denise’s interruption, he was able to bring Riley to the car swiftly.

As he was back in the car, he pointed at Riley’s nose lightly. “Good girl.”

When everything was done, he looked at the door of the mansion. At that moment, Denise was being held up by the guard. They were working hard to stop her from going inside. “Not bad.” He curled up his lips and smiled. Taking out his phone, he called Denise.

At the door of the mansion, Denise was still fighting endlessly with the guards. “This is my brother’s house. What’s wrong with me going inside? Who dares to touch me?!”

Suddenly, her phone rang. She furrowed her brow and, upon noticing it was an unknown number displayed on the screen, warily answered.

“You can come back now,” Sean’s cheerful voice came from the other side of the phone. Don’t overdo it. They might suspect you when they find out the child is missing.”

||

Denise’s eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. She found it hard to believe. ‘That fast?!‘ She thought Sean would need a long time so she had prepared to fight a long–haul fight with the guards. Who knew it ended before she even realized it?

you

“Alright. I’ll go back now.” She pursed her lips helplessly. “How lame can you guys be that need me to go find it myself? A pig would be a better helper than any of you!”

She hung up the phone after giving a ‘scolding‘. Subsequently, she looked up and glanced at the people in front of her. “I’d force my way in no matter what if this matter didn’t come up. Don’t think I’ve given up!”

She turned around and walked away. She left in such a hurry that the guards exchanged looks at each other. They truly believed she left because of an urgent matter.

Little did they know, she was actually escaping.

The guards watched as Denise disappeared within their sight. When Denise’s car was nowhere to be seen,

the nanny finally woke up.

“The child!” she screamed. “The child is missing! The child is missing!!!”

“I really have to hand it to you.” On the way back to the city from the countryside, Denise looked at the man sitting beside her with the baby while she drove.

Sean, playing with Riley with a toy, smiled. “You gave me a surprise too. I thought you’d just stay in the car and watch me do all the work. I never expected you to help out.”

Denise pursed her lips and looked to the front to concentrate on driving. “I promised Nigel to you rescue Riley. I was scared that if you failed, it’d be harder to rescue her the next time.”

“You got a point there.” Sean looked at Denise’s side profile. “I thought everyone in your family was bad. Who knew-”

“I‘m not a Hughes,” she interjected as her eyes narrowed.

Very quickly, however, she realized she had been too harsh and added, “Not all from the Hughes family is bad. Well, my brother is a good person.”

While she talked, she tilted her head to the side to look at Sean. “I know all of you don‘t like my brother. All of you think my brother was the one who took Luke away. But...”

She narrowed her eyes. “If you really get to know my brother, you‘ll know he‘s really a good person.”

Chapter 2802

“I want to get to know him, but that’s not possible.” Sean kept on playing with Riley while looking at the front. “Although I only saw Luke and knew him…”

He paused for a while and continued, “Well, since your brother, Steven, is Luke’s twin, I’m willing to believe your brother is a good man. Maybe it’s just fate’s cruel design that they didn’t have the chance to meet when they were alive and were instead made into one person.”

Denise’s hand quivered as she held the steering wheel. Everyone, including Gwen and those who knew Luke from before, wanted to find Luke. They wanted to make her brother become Luke again.

No one truly cared about Steven.

Even though this was the first time Denise met Sean, his words were like a warming feeling comforting every single cell in her body, and her heart felt warm after hearing it.

Her subconscious had her look at the man who was holding the baby in his arms beside her through the rearview mirror, and a myriad of emotions swirled in her eyes.

Meanwhile, Mr. Zink was not at home when Steven and Gwen arrived. Therefore, they could only chat with Mr. Zink’s wife. When they just started the conversation, Steven received a call from the guard.

“Sir, we’ve got a problem! The child… The child is missing!”

Gwen sat right next to Steven when he answered the phone, and she stared at him.

He was afraid Gwen would overhear the conversation, so he stood up and asked with a furrowed brow, “What happened?”

The guard sounded wronged, “What happened was Ms. Hughes made a commotion at the door, demanding to see the child. Of course, we didn’t allow her to go in. She kept on bothering us and even hurt two guards that were guarding the door, so we had to send more people to deal with her.

“After a while, she answered a call and left, but we eventually learned that someone had snuck into the mansion from the back door, knocked out the nanny, and brought the child away!” After that, the guard asked cautiously, “Sir, what should we do? Should we send all men to search and capture Ms. Hughes?”

“Search and capture?” Steven narrowed his eyes and spoke with a deep voice, “Are you treating Denise like a criminal? Let her take the baby, then. Don’t let anyone know about this. Continue to stand guard at the mansion and pretend the child is still there.‘

“1

Once he gave his instruction, he hung up the phone.

It was his wildest imagination that Denise had the ability to rescue the baby. Nevertheless, it was not bad news. If Denise wanted to harm the baby, she would have let Tina take the baby

away.

Since Denise had made her move, it proved that her conscience was still on the right path. If she found someone to help her rescue the child from the guards, it meant that she could

protect the child.

Furthermore, Kate and her family knew he was the one who took the child. To everyone else, Kate looked like she was deeply in love with him, but the truth was she had never liked him. Her family only cared about gaining profit and benefit. Who knew when they would betray him and tell the others he had the child?

Therefore, it was a good option to pretend he still had the child when, in fact, Denise had found someone else to look after the child.

“What’s wrong?” Gwen caught up when she saw Steven stand up. “I heard someone mention… a child. What child?”

Chapter 2803 “Nothing.” Steven curled up his lips and smiled. He put away his phone and looked at Gwen.” What else did Mr. Zink‘s wife say?”

Gwen paused for a while and did not ask further about the child. Instead, she smiled and told him what Mr. Zink‘s wife said. “She said Mr. Zink left the house in a hurry when he received a call from Senior Howard. He hasn‘t returned since then.”

She furrowed her brow and looked at Steven. “Why did Joshua have you come to investigate

him?”

Steven shook his head. “I‘m just as clueless as you are. Joshua told me we have to find a way to make sure Mr. Zink is safe. Only when he‘s safe can he settle some problems.”

He took out his phone to take a look. It was all the tactics Joshua sent to him to overcome some problems.

“Since we can‘t get any information about Mr. Zink here...” He paused.

“Let‘s go to the hospital. The one Senior Howard passed away at.”

Gwen nodded and turned around to head toward the parking. “Let‘s go then,” she said while turning her back to Steven.

As he looked at Gwen‘s back, his mind started to space out. Looking at the hair that fluttered with the wind, he furrowed his brow.

An image he had never seen before appeared in his mind.

It was at a hospital. Gwen was sitting at the window frame with a pale face. Her hands were grabbing the window frame with her legs fully extended outside the window. The wind blew in, and made her hair fly. It was actually a very beautiful scene, but she had tears in her eyes.

The Gwen in this imagery looked at him with despair.

“Can you leave me? I’m dirty, and I‘m not good enough to be with you... Not only you, but I‘m also not good enough for any man in this world. My only destiny is to die...

“I beg you. Please leave me alone. Let me take the road to my own doom...”

“Steven?”

At that moment, Gwen was already in the car park and standing beside the car. Her eyebrows pressed together when she noticed Steven merely spacing out. “Didn‘t you say we are going to the hospital?”

Gwen‘s question managed to pull Steven back to reality. Once his senses returned, he strode toward Gwen.

Both of them got into the car, and Steven started the car engine. It was a long way from Mr. Zink‘s house to the hospital. In the beginning, both of them remained silent. Not long later, Gwen could not help and started to chat with Steven while looking out the window.

Steven used the corner of his eyes to peek at Gwen while driving. It baffled him, but when he chatted with Gwen, he could not help but think of the despaired Gwen who sat at the window while she repeatedly said how dirty she was and unworthy of becoming his woman.

Finally, the atmosphere between the both of them started to cheer up after Gwen came up with a funny topic.

Nevertheless, Steven could not help himself. “Gwen.”

He took a deep breath and asked, “Did you…ever think about committing suicide?”

Gwen, who was smiling, froze. She turned her head to the side to look at Steven warily. “What did you say?”

“I said ” Afraid that Gwen would misunderstand him, it took him a while to compile his sentence. “I… I dreamt that you sat at the window with the thought of committing suicide. I don’t know if it really happened or…”

He sighed. “Or someone told me about it and I imagined it myself. So…‘ He stopped the car to look at Gwen. “Did you…ever have that moment?”

Chapter 2804

Immediately, Gwen’s expression faltered into solemness.

She never thought Steven would ask her such a question. Nonetheless…she did have such a moment of weakness.

With her eyes closed, she recalled the scene that happened more than a year ago in the hospital in Sea City. At that time, Hailey’s father had sent someone to rape her, and Ben chose to divorce her the moment he found out. She was crushed by the thought that she was corrupted and that no man in this world wanted her anymore.

Amid her despair, she found out she was pregnant with the devil’s child. She lived in pain every day, and all she wanted was to end her life, only intercepted by Luke every time.

Back then, she had just known Luke and never knew he would become such an important person to her in the future. During that period, she attempted to kill herself numerous times because she did not think she was worthy to be alive.

Every time she climbed up the window, Luke would reach her side immediately to trick her into coming back down with all kinds of methods. He was not about to let Gwen end her own life.

Having those thoughts in her mind, tears started falling down her face. It felt like Luke was already quite demanding with her when he was being nice to her in the first place. When they just knew each other, Luke had to put her under house arrest to stop her from ending her own life.

Before they parted ways, Luke was the same as he always was. He kept her illness a secret from her and was afraid her condition would get worse. He was so nice to her, but she always thought he was forcing himself onto her.

In fact, when did Luke truly harm her? If she could understand that earlier on, then they might not have to be separated by death.

Yes. It was all her fault. If she had realized this sooner, the person who was supposed to be dead was her and not Luke. If there was a chance to do it all over again, she would rather be the one who died and not have things turn out the way it was…

“Gwen…” Steven panicked when he saw Gwen start to cry. “I… I shouldn’t ask you that, should I?

He clumsily drew out some tissues from the tissue box to pass them to Gwen. “Don’t cry–it’s my fault. I just… I just wanted to ask. You…”

He passed the tissues over, but Gwen did not accept them. What he did not know was the tone he talked in was so identical to Luke’s that it pained Gwen’s heart deeply.

She bit her lip to prevent herself from weeping and embarrassing herself. However, her sadness would not just go away. Every time she thought of Luke, her heart started to throb painfully.

Steven, too, felt sad when he saw Gwen cry sadly with tears falling down her face incessantly. He no longer tried to give Gwen the tissues. Instead, he extended his hand out and used the tissue to wipe away Gwen’s tears.

His voice was panicked, bitter, and low. “Did I...say something that upset you? You... Did it remind you of him?” Steven did not need to clarify which person he was referring to. Gwen knew he was asking about Luke, thus she nodded feebly. “Yes.” Originally, she had no intention to answer, but she could not help it.

Just a simple answer, but it pained Steven so much. He sighed. “Don‘t cry...” “I can‘t control myself...” Gwen sniffed to stop her snot from drooling and tears from falling.

She turned around and hugged Steven, her entire being racked with helplessness. “What should I do? I can‘t forget him... I really can‘t...”

After two days of recovery, she thought she had accepted the fact. Nonetheless, Steven‘s words reminded her of Luke again. The man was deeply engraved in his heart that she just could not remove him.

“I can‘t... I just can‘t...” Steven closed his eyes silently and embraced Gwen. “Why don‘t I help you to get him back?”

Chapter 2806

Shortly, Gwen and Steven arrived at the hospital. Everything was just as Joshua expected; the hospital was so heavily guarded that they did not have the chance to enter.

The guard at the entrance was very persistent and serious. “I‘m sorry, but this is a private hospital. After the death of Mr. Howard, his family reserved the hospital. No one is allowed to enter other than the employees of this hospital and the patients who have been staying in this hospital and their families.”

After the explanation, the guard glanced at Steven and continued, “Mr. Hughes, why are you involving yourself with the Howard family‘s business?”

That simple question had cut off Steven‘s thought of fabricating his identity to enter the hospital. If the guard at the entrance knew Steven, the guard would never let him in no matter what kind of identity he made up.

Without any choice, Steven and Gwen returned to the car. At that moment, Gwen‘s phone rang. She looked at the screen and was enlightened as Neil was the one calling her. This was the first time Luna and Joshua‘s children called her after she came to this city, especially at a time like this.

Based on Gwen‘s understanding with Neil, Nigel must have already hacked into the city‘s traffic control at this time since they were calling her. They must have known she was in trouble, and thus that was the reason why Neil called her.

She picked up the phone excitedly. “Hey, Neil!” “Hi, Aunt Gwen,” Neil‘s cheerful voice came from the other side of the phone. “Daddy contacted us. Nigel and I have been monitoring the surveillance system the whole time. After our effort, we‘ve confirmed Mr. Zink is currently locked up in the underground car park of the hospital.”

“The heavy amount of guards outside the hospital was just a cover–up, so you and that...Uncle Steven don‘t need to enter the hospital. You just need to go to the car park.” Gwen was thrilled to hear that. “Really?”

“Of course.” Neil pursed his lips. “Both of you are helping my daddy, so Nigel and I need to help both of you. We won‘t lie to you.”

He even giggled. “But, if you feel bad having our help, you can bring more gifts back for me when you come back from Saigen City! Nigel and Nellie don‘t have anything in mind and don‘t want any. I‘m the only materialist here, so you just need to prepare gifts for me!” Gwen smiled helplessly. “Alright. I‘ll bring gifts for you.” “Alright!” Neil nodded vehemently. “Daddy said you guys are coming back after a week. I‘ll be waiting for you!”

Gwen smiled and responded, “Alright, alright. I‘ll start preparing the gifts today!” After the chit–chat, Gwen hung up the phone. Just when she was putting away the phone, she realized Steven was staring at her. His face was just too charming to ignore. She quickly looked to the other side so she did not have to look at his face. “Why are you

looking at me?”

“Are you guys...leaving next week?” Steven stared deeply at Gwen, feeling very reluctant to know Gwen was leaving. “Do you need to leave so soon?” Gwen was startled by this, but she did not make eye contact with him. “Yes. If that day at the airport...” 1

She paused for a while and resumed, albeit a little hoarse, “If I didn‘t see you at the airport that day, Luna and I would‘ve been gone by now.”

“Are you guys...leaving next week?” Steven stared deeply at Gwen, feeling very reluctant to know Gwen was leaving. “Do you need to leave so soon?” Gwen was startled by this, but she did not make eye contact with him. “Yes. If that day at the airport...” 1

Chapter 2809 Gwen‘s question was too sharp that it startled Mr. Zink After a while, after much staring from Gwen and Steven, he sighed deeply and eventually fessed up. “I... Well, I didn‘t really know he was going to die.”

He sighed again. “It‘s a long story.” “Then you can tell us on the way.” Steven looked around and thought it was not safe to stay for too long He only managed to knock out the two guards, and once they woke up, they would surely inform the other guards. By then, there would not be just two guards stopping them. It was hard enough for him to take down those two guards, and he did not know if he could deliver the same result if there were more of them.

“Yes. You can tell us on the road.”

Steven‘s words prompted Gwen. She nodded vehemently and helped the weak Mr. Zink up to his feet with Steven‘s help. They used the same route they took before and helped Mr. Zink to escape the underground car park The three of them entered the cars, and Steven was the driver. Gwen sat at the back and used the medical box in the car to sanitize Mr. Zink‘s wounds. “What causes these?” When she first saw how bloodied Mr. Zink was in the underground car park, she did not know all this blood came from all these wounds.

“It‘s a long story...” Mr. Zink sighed and said the same thing.

Gwen rolled her eyes. “Why do you keep saying that? Just answer the question. I hate it when people don‘t answer the question directly.”

Steven, who was driving, was taken aback to hear Gwen‘s comment. ‘She said she hates it when people don‘t say what‘s on their mind. Then...should I tell her my true feelings?‘ “Dan Howard was the one who hurt me and inflicted these injuries on me.” Since Gwen had expressed her frustration, Mr.Zink sighed and gradually told them what he went through, even answering the question Gwen asked in the underground car park.

“When Senior Howard looked for me yesterday, he was drafting his will, but when I saw his condition yesterday, he wasn‘t severely injured to the point he needed to draft his will immediately. I told him the will can wait until he was discharged and felt better; there was no rush. After all...”

Mr. Zink sighed again, “After all, he was not even sixty years old yet. In addition, he didn‘t have any terminal illness, and he‘s in relatively good shape. Thus, there was no rush to have the will drafted. However, he told me he doesn‘t have plenty of time left. He forced me to draft out his will yesterday...” Gwen furrowed her brow. “So you‘re saying...he knew he didn‘t have much time left?” If that was not the case, he should not be in a hurry to make arrangements for his death after suffering a minor injury.

“Yes, I believe so.” Mr. Zink nodded. “After I finished talking with Senior Howard, Mrs. Howard and Dan stopped me before I could go back to my office to make an official will. They forced me to tell them what Senior Howard told me. In the beginning, I refused to tell them, but...”

He kept quiet for a moment.

“In the end, I told them. At that time, Dan said...he won‘t let the old geezer‘s dream come true. If the old geezer wanted to be on the way, he was more than happy to help him... After that, Dan even quarreled with Mrs. Howard...”

Steven, who was driving the car, said, “So Senior Howard‘s death had nothing much to do with Joshua.”

Chapter 2810 “You said that, not me,” said Mr. Zink swiftly upon hearing what Steven said. “Mr. Hughes, I never said Senior Howard’s death is related to Mrs. Hughes and Dan!

After that, he looked at Gwen and begged her to agree with him. “Miss, I’m sure you heard what I said. I never said that, right?”

Gwen furrowed her brow and felt bad for how pitiful Mr. Zink looked. As a lawyer, it was his duty to fight for justice, but since he was badly injured , he did not even dare to tell the truth as he was afraid it would cause more trouble.

She sighed and said, “Mr. Zink, you don’t have to be so afraid. Steven… He’s not the same as the others. He won’t betray you, so you don’t have to be afraid that he’d ask you to testify.” As she was talking, she looked at Steven who was driving. Gwen’s reply shocked Steven because he never thought Gwen would say that to Mr. Zink. For a moment there, he did not know if he was more surprised or thrilled to hear that.

Even though he knew there was a higher chance Gwen said that to give comfort to Mr. Zink, he was happy to personally hear that Gwen was complimenting him, even when it was not purely for him.

Gwen’s voice was gentle and brought comfort and assurance to people. After what she said, Mr. Zink finally let his guard down and started to cry, bringing his hands to cover his face. “T—They beat me for a long time…

“That was not all. Dan even used a dull knife and cut my body with every question he asked. The pain he felt was not the worst part; it was the stress!

“I broke down…so I told him everything Senior Howard told me.

“1-I didn’t mean to betray my customer! I never knew Senior Howard would be dead after I said everything!

“But I was really scared of dying. I was scared that I’d never have the chance to see my wife and child… I didn’t have a choice!”

Gwen sighed.

On the other hand, Steven furrowed his brow. “So, you told them all the information regarding Senior Howard’s will?”

Mr. Zink nodded. “But I never told them Mr. Lynch knew about the will and its content, too. I kept that a secret.”

“Okay.” Steven nodded. “I understand . If Tina and Dan knew Joshua had the content of the will, they’d never be so arrogant and force Joshua to step down.”

Shortly, they arrived at Steven’s mansion out in the countryside.

As Steven stepped out of the car, the guards rushed over.” Sir, you’re back!”

“Ms. Hughes truly has crossed the line! She-”

“Leave that aside for now.” Steven pointed to the car.” Bring that person into the house first. We’ll talk about the child later.”

After that, he turned around and called Joshua while walking  “Mr. Zink is safe now. I brought him to my mansion in the countryside . You can take whatever action that you need. That mother-and-son duo… Everything is just as you said. They harmed Mr. Zink, and now Mr. Zink is severely injured.”

Right at that moment, Joshua was standing on the top floor of Howard Group’s building as he stared at the protestors outside of the building. “Alright. I understand.

Once he hung up the phone, he looked to the side and instructed Lucas. “Let’s begin.”
