Chapter 538

Penulis: Summer Blossom
Sean watched as five or six messages popped up on his phone in quick succession. He could practically picture Macie's flustered and embarrassed look, and he couldn't help but let out a low chuckle.

That innocent side of her brought out the worst in him, and the urge to tease her was back in full force. Quoting her earlier message, he replied, "You were definitely out of it. Don't you want to know what you did... or what you said? I've got recordings. Want me to help jog your memory?"

Macie's mind went completely blank when she read that. What on earth had she done after she blacked out? Had she acted out? She inwardly cursed and wondered if she had clung to Sean and cried her heart out or something.

The thought alone made her feel like the sky was crashing down. On top of that, it seemed that he had recordings. Macie couldn't understand why Sean was doing this to her.

Her face, which had just started to cool down from its earlier flush, went right back to flaming red. She genuinely

    Alice continued reading the messages on her phone aloud.After growing suspicious, Elias had launched an investigation but came up empty. He then instructed Mitch to retrieve Macie's records from the orphanage. However, Raymond had already been bribed by Sharon. They were in cahoots. Macie's folder was destroyed, leaving Elias no choice but to have Mitch collect a strand of her hair instead. Worried that she might be in danger again, he had even sent his bodyguards to protect her. Unfortunately, he had still been too late. Macie had been abducted the very next night."He said that Mitch hadn't lured her out at 7:00 pm that evening to harm you but to get a strand of your hair," Alice relayed.Macie kept her head down, staring blankly at the thin hospital blanket. That night, Mitch had sought her out, claiming that he needed an extra document for the agreement. In the end, he had told her that a leaf had fallen on her hair and offered to remove it, accidentally pulling out a few s

    With that, Yosef hopped into his car. Before his driver stepped on the gas, he poked his head out the window and inquired, "By the way, do you still have anything from when she was a child? Give it to her. It could stir her memories and touch her heart more easily.""Y-Yeah, we do," Mira choked out. "I've kept her stuffed bunny. It was her favorite plushie, and I brought it with me as a keepsake when we moved abroad."Yosef nodded. Then, his car started and sped away from the hospital.Mira wiped away her tears and told Edmund, "Quick, have someone rush all of May's belongings from home back here as soon as possible!" Edmund caught on and immediately made a call. The middle-aged couple returned to the corridor outside Macie's ward. However, they did not enter it this time. Both Yosef and Alice had advised them to give Macie more time, so they could only wait anxiously outside.Just then, Elias arrived. Like his parents, he didn't enter the ward either. He merely watched Macie t

    "Macie, you don't have to worry about your safety anymore. I'm sure you'll be discharged soon," Yosef said warmly. "All of these medical supplies were flown in from overseas by the Hales. Each shot costs hundreds of thousands of dollars and is powerful enough to pull someone back from the brink of death."Relieved that Macie was out of danger, Yosef looked genuinely happy. Macie turned her head and silently looked at the IV needle taped to the back of her hand. Alice, listening to every word beside them, grumbled inwardly, "The old guard still packs the most punch. No one could top his way with words."Yosef had begun by tugging at Macie's heartstrings, bringing up her college days to lower her guard. Then he slipped in how much effort and money the Hales had spent rescuing her, even tossing Edward's name in for good measure, just to make her feel grateful.Alice was almost certain that the Hales had sent Yosef to talk Macie around.After chatting and checking on Macie, the elder

    Alice whipped her head around and asked, "May, who are you texting so secretively?"Startled, Macie blurted out, "No one!""So, you're keeping secrets from me now?" Alice huffed.Looking at her, Macie wasn't sure how to explain herself, as Diana had repeatedly told her not to tell Alice anything."Forget it. Everyone has their own secrets, even the best of friends. So long as you're not texting Edward, I don't mind. If you are, I swear I'll blow a fuse," Alice said. "Of course I'm not texting Edward. I've blocked and deleted his number ages ago," Macie reassured her.Alice appeared pleased and was about to take a seat when the door swung open. When she looked over and noticed who it was, she immediately shot up to her feet, feeling a little awkward. It was Yosef. She hoped that he hadn't overheard what she had just said."I heard you're doing better today, so I thought I'd drop by this afternoon to look at you." Yosef smiled at Macie. "Thank you for coming." Macie was about

    After hearing that, Elias stared at Macie on the hospital bed, dumbfounded.Without meeting his gaze, Macie lowered her gaze and added, "I used the dividends from Brightech Studios these past two years to buy a small house. So, please stop targeting Julian. He's a good man."Elias pursed his lips and fell silent. Then, he turned to look at Julian, who was still standing outside the ward. "Why didn't you explain yourself then? You clearly had the chance yesterday," he questioned.Elias wondered if Macie was covering for this man, or… "Macie didn't want Edward to know, so I kept it to myself," Julian answered. "Besides, I'm grateful to her. Had she not secured Mr. Fowler Senior's investment at the time, Brightech Studios wouldn't have taken off that swiftly."Elias went quiet once again. After a few seconds, he looked back at the young woman on the hospital bed and said, "Get some rest. I'll catch Sharon and the other criminals and leave them breathing so you can deal with them lat

    Elias didn't bother arguing with Alice. He sidestepped her and walked out the door with Julian in tow.Macie, who was on the hospital bed behind them, watched Julian stumble as Elias dragged him by the collar and cried out, "Stop right there!"Illness had left her too weak for words, and though she summoned every bit of her strength, her voice was only a thin, rasping whisper. Weak as it was, her voice cut through the room and made Elias halt in his steps. "Let go of Julian," she added, clutching the thin blanket tightly. Elias spun around to look at her. Macie held his gaze, calm and unfeeling."You have no right to lay a hand on my friend," she said, her expression dark and distant. Elias flinched at the look in her eyes. Pain shot through his chest, and he slowly released his grip. Macie was right—he had no right, not when she still refused to acknowledge him as her older brother.After being released, Julian straightened his tie and said tactfully, "Rest well, Macie. I'
