For a moment, the search seemed to have hit a dead-end.
Brian had never been so distracted. He could not even concentrate on what Stella was telling him. His mind was preoccupied with Grace’s whereabouts.
When he told his parents that he was in love with Grace, his parents were shocked and disapproved. They were unwilling to accept Grace.
They even tried to persuade him not to get too obsessed.
‘However… I’m already obsessed with her. The obsession is so intense I just can’t get myself out of it. Even if I have to go against Jason, I still don’t want to give up!’
“Brian, did you hear me?” said Stella. She spoke until her mouth was dry, but Brian seemed to be thinking of something else and did not respond.
‘Could he be thinking about Grace?”
Stella had these thoughts out of jealousy. ‘Grace hasn’t shown. up in days. Jason seemed to have taken her somewhere.’
Stella hoped Grace never showed up again so that Brian would never have to think about her again!
“What did you say?” asked Brian.
“I said… my birthday is in a few days. Can I have a birthday party this year?” said Stella as she looked at Brian. expectantly.
Brian looked at her with some indifference after hearing what she said. “Your cousin is missing, yet you’re thinking about your birthday party?”
“Grace’s with Jason. They were a couple. Maybe they’re having a sweet time with each other right now…” she said deliberately to make Brian give up on Grace, “Maybe she and Jason will show up in a few days, all intimate again. Besides… I want to use my birthday to celebrate our reunion. I can’t not celebrate anything just because of Grace, can I?”
Brian pursed his thin lips for a moment and then said, “Alright, I see. I’ll get someone to prepare your birthday party. You can talk to them if you need anything.”
Stella’s face lit up, and she was about to say something when Brian’s phone suddenly rang.
Brian answered the phone. After listening for a moment, his expression changed. “What did you say? Uncle Russell is missing?”
“Yes. You know as well that he always asks patients to come to the clinic for treatments. He called me out of the blue today and said that he’s going out to see a patient. It might take a long time, so he didn’t want me to worry. However, I can’t get through to him when I call him!” Dr. Russell’s wife talked to Brian anxiously on the other end of the line.
Dr. Russell and Brian were very close and they saw each other a lot, so the Russell family had Brian’s contact information.
“See a patient?” Brian narrowed his phoenix eyes.
“Brian, do you think Uncle Russell was kidnapped because he offended someone?” Mrs. Russell thought pessimistically.
However, Brian thought the other way around.
If Grace had not been taken away by Jason, today would have been when she needed to undergo the second treatment for her fingers!
‘Is it possible? Could it be Jason who took Dr. Russell?’
After finishing the phone call with Mrs. Russell, Brian called his staff. “Go and find out who took Dr. Russell.”
“Yes,” replied the staff.
After ending the call, Brian got up and said to Stella, “Stella, I have to go.”
“But… they haven’t served the food yet,” Stella said eagerly. She had finally asked him out for dinner, yet now he was leaving without even taking a bite?
“You can help yourself later, I’m sorry.” Without waiting for Stella to say another word, Brian left in a hurry.
‘Does Dr. Russell’s disappearance have something to do with Jason?
‘Where in Emerald City is Jason hiding… Grace?
‘Somehow, I’m in fear. It feels like if I don’t track Grace down soon, maybe I’ll lose that woman forever!
‘Maybe I’ll never get another chance to make that woman fall in love with me!
‘I’m going to find Grace no matter what!’
Grace did not expect to see Dr. Russell in the mansion.
Dr. Russell quipped, “I didn’t think I would one day be kidnapped to treat someone’s hand.”
He looked at Grace and then Jason as he spoke.
Although Dr. Russell had never met Jason before, he heard the people who brought him here mentioning ‘Mr. Reed’
They made sure he was blindfolded when they brought him.
here.
Apparently, they did not want him to know where he was going.
It would be a lie if Dr. Russell said he was not shocked after seeing Grace. When she had followed Brian over, he thought she was just a woman Brian had a crush on.
It was old news that rich boys would fall in love with poor girls.
He just did not expect to see Grace in an old mansion today and standing next to such a threatening man.
Even if the man was just standing idly by and looking over lightly, he exuded an intense tension.
Dr. Russell could naturally see that such a man was probably someone who had occupied a leading position for a long time. Ordinary people had no way to have an imposing manner like. that even if they wanted to.
“Sorry, Dr. Russell. I didn’t expect… him to bring you here either,” Grace said awkwardly.
However, Dr. Russell did not ask any more questions. After all, at his age, he naturally knew that there were some questions he should not ask.
Therefore, he just spread out the tools he had brought with him and asked Grace to hold out her right hand.
The various needle knives reminded Grace of the pain she felt the last time she had the treatment, and it made her tremble.
Just when Dr. Russell was about to insert a needle knife into. the back of Grace’s hand, Jason immediately grabbed Dr.
Russell’s wrist. “What is this for?”
“Treatment, what else is there?” grumbled Dr. Russell. He hated being interrupted like that during his sessions.
“If you’re using needle knives for the treatment, why not anesthetize her first?” asked Jason as he frowned.
“If I anesthetize her, I can’t get a clear reaction from her fingers. I need her most natural reaction for the treatment!” said Dr. Russell.
Jason was still hesitating. “But these needle knives….”
Grace looked up at Jason and said, “It’s alright, I had the treatment once. Besides, this pain will go away after a while.”
‘It’s just like bearing the pain when I was in prison. It’ll pa**!
However, she had suffered the pain in prison without hope.
Now, she suffered it with some hope.
She wanted her fingers to be flexible again. Though they might not be as good as they were, it was worth the pain if they could get better.
Jason’s expression changed slightly. Her words seemed to remind him of something. He let go of Dr. Russell’s hand but immediately held Grace’s left hand with their fingers interlaced.
“What are you doing?” she asked in surprise.
“Just grab my hand if you’re in pain. I’ll suffer the pain with you,” he said.
“No thanks, I can stand it.” She tried to pull her fingers out of his
However, he held on to her hand and looked at Dr Russell,
“Thats all Lets start
However, her left hand was holding his hand.
