Chapter 20

Author: Axcellent
Dominic slammed the door without a backward glance, leaving Isabella frozen in place.

She shook herself from the daze and ran after him, her voice trembling. "Honey… where are you going?"

"It's none of your business." Without turning, Dominic strode straight to the elevator.

A shiver ran through Isabella's chest. She wanted to follow him, but Lilith was still asleep in the bedroom.

Her feet refused to move. She lingered by the doorway, then bit her lip and sank onto the sofa in despair. Her

    Andriana froze for a moment. Then her pupils constricted, and unmistakable panic spread across her face. "Dom, are you saying... my husband too...""No," Dominic replied quickly. "I'm saying there's a very high chance that someone in the laboratory belongs to the organization. As for Evan..."He coughed lightly and gave a helpless smile. "That fella may be very hostile toward me, but it's unlikely there's anything wrong with him. After all, he was involved in that huge operation we pulled off last time. If he were a member of the organization, things wouldn't have gone so smoothly."Evan had also participated in the plan to use Cosmos No. 2 against Elijah. To be fair, although he found Dominic extremely irritating, he was unquestionably devoted to his wife. He supported every decision Andriana made without hesitation.After hearing Dominic's analysis, Andriana gradually relaxed.She considered it for a moment before speaking. "Dom, if someone in the laboratory could be a member of

    Dominic raised an eyebrow. "That fast?"Jewel shot him a playful glare. "When the chairman personally makes a request, how could it not be fast?"Dominic chuckled, took the document, and began reading.He reviewed it carefully from beginning to end. After finishing, he marked several sections and said, "There aren't any major issues. Just optimize the areas I've marked, and it can be implemented.""Alright, I'll proceed accordingly." With that, Jewel left the office.Dominic lit a cigarette and spent several minutes thinking things over before having someone bring Nolan in.As soon as Nolan entered the office, he cautiously glanced at Dominic, then immediately lowered his head."Are you afraid of me?" Dominic asked with a faint smile.Nolan's entire body trembled. He didn't dare lie."Yes."Dominic noticed that two fingers on Nolan's right hand had changed color. They had already begun turning black.Those two fingers were starting to die.A thoughtful look crossed Dominic'

    Leona remained silent for a long moment before speaking softly. "Clara... When she left, she was happy. She didn't suffer."At the very least, when Clara left this world, a smile rested on her lips.Dominic looked up at the night sky, a weight settling in his chest. After a while, he said, "Clara said you were her only friend. Please help arrange her funeral."Leona nodded, then suddenly said, "Mr. Fleming, thank you for helping her."Dominic fell momentarily silent. "I didn't really help her."He still hadn't changed Clara's life.Leona shook her head and replied softly, "Actually, Clara hadn't truly smiled in a very, very long time. Just now... even in her sleep, that smile showed how happy she really was."Leona didn't know what had happened, but she was certain Dominic had something to do with it.Dominic offered no further explanation. He took one last look at the hospital and said, "I'll head out. Contact me if anything comes up."With that, he left without looking back.

    Clara's eyes brightened slightly.Jason followed Dominic and slowly left the hospital room.When they reached the door, he fought through the dizziness, turned back to look at Clara, and said in a trembling voice, "Clara... I'm sorry... I'm leaving..."Clara nodded gently, her eyes already blurred with tears.Then Dominic led Jason away.When Dominic returned to the room, a strand of hair rested in his hand. He glanced at it before carefully slipping it into his pocket.'At this rate, I'll end up bald,' he thought."Did he leave?" Clara asked, her eyes red.Dominic nodded."When did he die?" Clara suddenly asked.Surprised by her perception, Dominic chose not to hide the truth. "He died more than ten years ago. He's been by your side all this time, watching you grow up."Clara stared blankly ahead. After a long silence, she turned toward the window, and tears quietly slipped down her cheeks."Dad... goodbye..." she murmured.Only then did she realize that someone had been

    Clara had never eaten such a lavish meal before. Despite her petite, slender frame, she practically devoured the food.After a few bites, however, she suddenly looked up at Jason and asked, "Huh? Mr. Jason, why aren't you eating?"Jason flinched slightly and immediately began eating as well.There was simply too much seafood on the table. By the time the three of them had eaten their fill, Clara rubbed her stomach and stared at the seafood feast, which was still more than half untouched.With a hint of regret, she said, "We can't finish it all! It won't be this fresh tomorrow!"Dominic thought, 'The seafood really shouldn't be left overnight.'But he knew Clara couldn't bear to waste it, so he kept the thought to himself.Clara looked at Jason and asked, "Oh right, Mr. Jason. You said earlier that you haven't seen your daughter in so many years. Why not?"Jason hesitated before answering, "Our family was very poor back then. After my daughter was born, I went to work in a mine.

    For a few brief seconds, Dominic had a suspicion. 'Could it be that Clara has already recognized Jason? In weather this cold, he's wearing nothing more than a thin, outdated long-sleeved shirt. Anyone would find that unusual.'Upon closer inspection, Jason and Clara did share a slight resemblance in their facial features.Still, Dominic said nothing. Instead, he explained, "Clara, this is Jason, a friend of mine. He came along to have a bite to eat with us. You don't mind, do you?"As he spoke, he lifted the insulated food bags in his hands.Clara glanced at Jason once more before looking away and focusing on the seafood-filled bags.Her eyes lit up with surprise. "Wow, that's so much! Of course I don't mind! Besides, there's no way I can finish all of it!"Dominic smiled. He pulled over a folding table and arranged the seafood across its surface.At that moment, however, Jason stared at Clara without looking away for even a second.Dominic frowned. "Hey, help out.""Oh... Oh!

    Taking the opportunity to meet Zachary was not a bad idea either.Jewel spoke with concern. "If you go, will it—""It's fine," Dominic said calmly, waving his hand. "Even if things escalate between him and me, I won't be the one who needs to worry."At worst, he would simply find another lingerin

    Evan nodded and let out a sigh. "I understand. That's a huge favor, but we can make it up in other ways. Even money would work."Andriana shook her head. "The second reason matters most. Let me ask one question. Do your so-called Fortune 500 companies have the power to bring back someone who has al

    After Dominic learned that Autumn had gone missing as well, he sat on the sofa and frowned in thought.Strangely, he did not feel as urgent anymore. Something about the situation felt wrong.Isabella, Jessica, and Autumn were all connected to him. Which meant the target was him.With that realiza

    Jessica stood on the brink of tears as she barked at the burly woman, "Go! Hurry! Go check on them!""O-Okay!" The woman froze in fear, then snapped out of it and rushed forward.At the edge of the rooftop, Dominic's left hand clamped onto the concrete ledge while his right arm locked around Isabe
