Chapter 158

Penulis: Lightmoon
A cab pulled up near the side entrance of Verdant Woods. Then, a woman stepped out. She was wearing a white down coat and a face mask. She moved quickly through the neighborhood and pushed open the gate of a villa decorated with little red lanterns shaped like cats.

Inside, Alinta had been pacing anxiously. The moment she saw her, she rushed forward. "Mari!"

"How is he?" Marisol closed the door behind her, pulling off her mask with one hand while carrying a large bag toward the basement with the other.

"He's been pretty cooperative," Alinta said, following her closely. She held up a semi-transparent plastic bag with a gun glinting under the light.

Ronan hadn't been in great shape, and while Marisol didn't trust him entirely, she also didn't want this to turn into a murder case. So, both sides had compromised.

Ronan had tossed the gun behind the basement door and kept his distance while Alinta opened the door, retrieved the weapon, and threw in the medical supplies he'd asked for.

  • Turning Heads After Divorce   Chapter 162

    Marisol had been helping Nolan take care of Orion, and in return, he basically caused her divorce. Nolan felt incredibly guilty and struggled to find the right words. Eventually, he managed only a dry question. "You're getting divorced?"Marisol stared at him, speechless. She thought, "Seriously, dude? Can we focus on Orion first?"Still, it surprised her. "This has been going on for a while now, and we're about to go to court. Didn't Lucian tell you?"Nolan was stunned. "For a while?"Marisol frowned. "Since before New Year's."Well, at least it wasn't his advice that caused this. Nonetheless, Nolan thought Lucian was really something. He managed to keep such a massive secret despite their regular meetings. When he thought about that, he instantly felt deflated.Marisol, however, had run out of patience. She'd stayed up all night dealing with the car situation and hadn't gotten any sleep, leaving her mentally and physically exhausted. She began ushering him toward the door.S

    The door was left ajar—half-open, half-shut.Marisol's eyes widened as she locked gazes with the man who had turned toward her, and her racing heart instantly settled down. "What are you doing here?""Mommy!" Orion, who was dressed in his raccoon pajamas, stumbled forward with tears streaming down his face. His sobs echoed in the dim hospital room.Marisol was too distracted by Orion's state to ask why this uncle-nephew duo had shown up at her room around 4:30 am. She quickly crouched down to comfort the pitifully crying child in her arms. Orion seemed terrified by something, and she couldn't tell how long he'd been crying before this. However, it didn't take long before exhaustion overtook him. He passed out right there in her arms, his little body limp with sleep.She carried him to the bed and gently tucked him under the blanket. Then, she finally turned to Nolan. Both of them wore the same look of confusion.Before she could say a word, Nolan spoke first. "You scared the cra

    After finishing most of her packing, Marisol rushed back to the hospital. She had barely settled into her hospital bed when the door opened and Nolan walked in with Orion, who had just gotten out of school."Why is your face so red?" Nolan noticed her deep blush, and for a moment, he was caught off guard. Marisol was startled and touched her face. She figured it was from running too fast and trying to beat the clock."Probably the heat. The weather's warming up," she said casually. Then, she bent down to chat with Orion for a few moments before pulling Nolan out of the room.Once they were away from Orion, she spoke up. "I'm about to be discharged from the hospital, and I can't keep Orion by my side all the time. It's not good for him to be too dependent on me. I can't take care of him forever, and you're his guardian, so you should be spending more time with him."Nolan hadn't expected her to bring this up and found himself in a difficult position. He did want to spend more time

    Theodore froze when he saw Nevaeh, and his agitated tone instinctively softened. Following her gentle guidance, he sat on the couch, but then he suddenly snapped back to attention and looked at Lucian, who was leaning against the desk across from him."Lucian, about Ronan—""What's the rush?" Lucian cut in calmly. "On my way here, I already had Zayne reach out to the traffic authorities. They're checking the surveillance footage along the route Ronan usually takes after work. We'll figure out where he went, but you need to be patient.""See? Lucian's already on it," Nevaeh chimed in with a reassuring smile as she handed Theodore a glass of water. "Take a sip and breathe. Ronan's a capable man—he'll be fine."Having Nevaeh nearby grounded him. Theodore took the glass, sipped a little, and finally started to calm down. Just then, there was a knock at the office door. Zayne walked in. His eyes scanned the room before settling on Lucian. Lucian was about to step forward when Theodore

    Early in the morning at the Sorensen residence, Lucian and Andre sat in the dining room. They were having breakfast with the Sorensen family. Halfway through the meal, Lucian received a phone call and glanced at the caller ID. He smiled politely at everyone at the table before stepping aside to take the call. "Lucian, something's happened to Ronan!" Theodore's urgent voice came through the phone.Lucian's expression remained unchanged. He maintained his smile while speaking in a steady, measured tone. "Take it slow. What happened?" "He didn't come home all night, and he's not answering his phone. I thought he was working late at the office, so I called there, but they said he left hours ago." Theodore sounded frantic. He continued, "Ronan's never like this; he would've told me he wasn't coming home. I've been trying to reach him all night. Something must've happened!" "Don't panic. It's still early. Maybe he crashed somewhere and didn't hear the phone?" Lucian reassured him, k
