Paulo's words were highly effective.Erin began to take deep breaths and silently repeated in her mind, "Ok, calm down! I need to stay calm! I need to stay alive for my child so that I can get him back. I must undergo treatment—"For a full ten minutes, Erin brainwashed herself, repeatedly reciting these important reasons to give herself courage. Gradually, her heartbeat slowed down and returned to a normal rhythm.The red light on the heart rate monitor disappeared, replaced by the green light once more. Although Paulo's expression didn't change much, he silently breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.He pondered for a moment and asked, "Should I inform your family to come to see you first?"Without hesitation, Erin blurted, "No!"If she were still her old self, she would want to see her family as soon as possible and reassure them not to worry. But now, in her current state, she didn't have the courage to face them. At least, she wasn't mentally prepared for it yet. If her fam

Chandler's question plunged Yvette into deep thought, and for a moment, she didn't know how to answer. In reality, she didn't feel any such special connection. She didn't know where Erin could be right now.Or perhaps, Erin was already dead.Of course, Yvette dared not say her hypothesis out loud, as it would invoke his wrath. Even though she herself had lost hope in her heart, she couldn't dismantle the beliefs and expectations of others.While Yvette continued to ponder how to cleverly respond to Chandler, he'd already instructed Kyle, who was in the driver's seat, to drive away. He left without saying a word.Yvette gazed at the departing Maybach with inexplicable melancholy in her heart. She didn't anticipate Erin's return as eagerly as others did. Back then, she should have been happily by her parents' side, but fate was unfair to her. She was the one who was sold off to human traffickers.Even though Lamar treated her well as if she was his own daughter, it couldn't discount

Three days later, at 7 pm inside a suburban detention center, Chandler finally saw Tessa, who was being held in custody.Besides Chandler, Osborn was also in the interrogation room.Tessa was confined in a trial cell behind iron bars, sitting on a metal chair with handcuffs and ankle shackles. She kept her head lowered and her hair hung loose. She wore an orange prison uniform over her shirt.On the second day of being held there, Tessa confessed to all the crimes she'd committed. She even revealed the location where the corpses of her assailants back then had been disposed of. However, those bodies were unlikely to be retrieved because they were all cut up and dumped in the mountains. Wild animals would have devoured those dismembered remains by then.Her willingness to cooperate and confess astonished Osborn. She also confessed how she and Jack meticulously planned Erin's kidnapping with the clear objective of obtaining her unborn child. However, Tessa deliberately didn't disclos

Quentin's body stiffened. He looked toward the door, and his trembling lips gave away the fact that he was a little emotional at that moment.The father and son stared at each other in silence for more than ten seconds.The bedroom suddenly became eerily quiet. Quentin was obviously not used to such sincere warmth from his son. Feigning nonchalance, he pretended to clear his throat and said, "It's been many years since I've heard you call me 'Dad,' Chandler."His words didn't contain excessive reproach; rather, they conveyed a sense of melancholy and helplessness.Chandler had already walked up to him by then. Taking a glance at his son's peaceful sleeping face, he instantly felt that the world was filled with tenderness and beauty."Have you found out where Erin is?" Quentin turned around and took two steps forward to gently place Asa back in his crib.Chandler's gaze suddenly turned cold as he replied calmly, "Let's talk in the study."Quentin gave him a glance and walked out.

For three consecutive days, Erin hid in her hospital room and avoided seeing anyone. Whenever nurses came in to deliver her meals, Erin responded with two words coldly, "Go away."Due to Paulo's repeated emphasis to all medical staff that they should not force Erin into anything she disliked, they gave her full freedom. Therefore, when Erin refused to see anyone or eat anything, even the medical staff, including the psychologists, were at a loss.Paulo was aware of this, but he couldn't understand why. After he'd gone out of his way to tell her all those good news, Erin not only didn't continue to face her treatment positively but even refused to accept the most basic necessities.On the first day when Erin refused to eat, Paulo told the medical staff not to worry too much, saying that she was just throwing a tantrum and that she would eat when she was really hungry. But after three days, Erin showed no intention of letting up.In the end, Paulo couldn't let her have her way any lo
