Colin was now completely obedient to Gwyneth, and his mental state had deteriorated so much. If they told him directly that Gwyneth had been drugging him and deceiving him all along, would he even believe them? Or would he think they were just trying to drive a wedge between them?"So we're just going to let this slide and watch Colin continue to be deceived by Gwyneth?" Chester felt frustrated. Aspen replied firmly, "Of course we're not letting it slide. Colin needs to know the truth, but we need to approach it differently.""What kind of approach?" Chester pressed. Aspen looked at Aren. "Aren, what do you think?"Aren smirked. "I do have an idea that might be worth trying.""What idea?" Both Aspen and Chester looked at him.Aren said, "Since Colin might not believe us if we tell him directly, let's change our approach." He paused before continuing, "Instead of exposing Gwyneth directly, we can make Colin discover it himself.""Make Colin discover it himself? How?" Chester
Aspen took a deep breath, trying to calm her inner excitement. "Aren, we have to make sure this goes perfectly—we can't give them any chance to turn things around."Aren looked at Aspen, his gaze gentle yet determined. "Don't worry, Pen. I won't let them escape justice. I'll do everything possible to ensure this investigation goes smoothly, without any compromise."Aspen was slightly taken aback as she looked at Aren with some confusion. She instinctively grabbed his arm, memories of past dangers flashing through her mind. "What are you planning to do? Don't you dare take any risks!" Aren smiled and held Aspen's hand in return, his eyes carrying a hint of subtle depth. "Don't worry, Pen. I won't put myself in danger. Sometimes, using unconventional methods can be more efficient."Chester blinked from the side, seeming to sense something was going on but not asking further. Although Aspen felt somewhat puzzled, what mattered most right now was seeking justice for Sophie and herse
Aspen gasped in shock as she finally understood Gwyneth and Zac's true intentions. They weren't trying to treat Colin at all—they were using drugs to control him, turning him into a puppet they could manipulate completely.She said firmly, "We have to find out exactly what these drugs are as soon as possible!"Aren nodded in agreement. "I've already arranged for our tech team to hack into the clinic's medical system, hoping to get more complete electronic medical records and prescription records."Just then, Shane rushed in excitedly. "There's a new update! Mr. Jefferson, the tech team just sent word—they've successfully broken the encryption on the clinic's medical system and obtained complete electronic medical records and prescription data!" Aren perked up immediately and took the tablet Shane handed him, quickly scanning the content on the screen. He turned it toward Aspen, pointing at the electronic medical records. "Pen, look at this! The medication records in the electron
Eventually, Stefan gave up searching the archive room, frowning. With one last sweeping glance at the document-filled space, he turned and left, making sure to pull the door shut behind him.The footsteps gradually faded away. Only after confirming that Stefan had left did Aspen slowly emerge from behind the filing cabinets. She let out a long breath, feeling her back soaked with cold sweat. That had been a close call—she'd almost been discovered.Nonetheless, this wasn't the time to feel relieved; she had to hurry up and get out of there. She quickly reorganized the scattered medical files and returned them to their original positions in the filing cabinet, making sure everything looked exactly as it had before. Then, she checked the archive room door lock once more, confirming it was properly secured, before carefully opening the door and stepping out. In the hallway, a nurse was rushing toward the emergency room. She didn't notice Aspen emerging from the archive room.Asp
Aspen's heart leaped with joy—she'd succeeded. She carefully pushed open the archive room door and slipped inside. The room was dimly lit, with the air carrying the musty scent of old paper and dust. It was also packed with towering filing cabinets, occupying nearly every inch of space and leaving only a narrow walkway. Aspen closed the door behind her, holding her breath as she began searching through the filing cabinets. The cabinets were covered with countless labels. She quickly scanned them, hoping to find Colin's medical records.However, there were so many medical files in the cabinets, and the sorting system was chaotic. After searching for quite some time, she still hadn't found any clues related to Colin. Just as Aspen was about to lose patience, her gaze suddenly fell on an old filing cabinet in the corner. The label on that cabinet was somewhat faded and unclear. She walked over and carefully tried to make out the words on the label. "Colin… Colin..."Aspen's he
Aspen's heart sank. She wondered what Zac was doing at the clinic. Could he have something to discuss with Stefan? She felt a growing sense of unease, knowing that Zac's presence would make her original plan even more complicated and dangerous.Josh soon emerged from the office, his face showing a hint of apology. "I'm terribly sorry, ma'am, but Dr. Powell's afternoon appointments are completely booked. He really can't squeeze in any more time today. Perhaps you might want to consider seeing one of our other doctors instead?"Aspen's face fell with disappointment, her voice tinged with frustration. "Oh, that's such a shame. I guess my husband won't get the chance to see Dr. Powell today after all."Josh tried to comfort her. "Please don't worry too much about it. All of our doctors here are highly qualified. You could always schedule an appointment with a regular doctor first. Let them do an initial assessment, and then you can book an appointment with a specialist like Dr. Powell
