"Mr. Holt, I've been tracking Burry over the past few days and noticed she goes to the hospital every two days. I'm unsure what's wrong with her health, but she doesn't look well and seems sick. Alex treats her well and always accompanies her during hospital visits," said the private detective."Is it possible to obtain the medical records?" Thaddeus asked.The detective hesitated and said, "I've tried to, but it's confidential.""Send over the name of the hospital where she received treatment," Thaddeus instructed.Shortly after hanging up the phone, the detective sent the name of what seemed to be a private hospital.Thaddeus sent the hospital's name to a friend from Frence whom he met while studying abroad. "Do you know anyone at this hospital? I need you to do me a favor."After sending the message, there was no reply for a long time. It was probably because his friend was busy, unlike a private detective who worked around the clock and was always ready to respond immediately

After dinner, Lucas led Thomas to the couch. "Great-grandpa, I have a gift for you."Layla took her small bag and said, "Great-grandpa, I prepared a gift for you too.""Oh?" Thomas asked with intrigue. He was filled with anticipation. He was very curious about what gifts these two children, who weren't even five years old, had prepared for an old man like him."Hurry. Take it out and show it to me," he said eagerly.Layla drew a portrait that included herself, Jessamine, Thaddeus, Lucas, and Thomas. Although the drawing didn't look very polished and the brushstrokes are somewhat childlike, it didn't affect the message the portrait conveyed."Great-grandpa, this is our family. I wanted to make you look a bit more handsome, but I haven't quite learned how to do that yet. Next time, I'll do better and make sure to draw you as the most handsome great-grandpa in the world," Layla promised.As Thomas grew older, his eyesight began to deteriorate. He held the painting up and examined it

Jessamine's tone carried a hint of a warning, but her voice sounded so charming that it seemed almost irresistible. She felt embarrassed just to even hear it.For over four years, she didn't find it particularly hard to endure her needs. She hadn't felt any intense needs, but at that moment, it completely overturned her self-perception.It might be as what the people online said—as women got older, their desires in that area also awakened. At 20, one was youthful and inexperienced; at 30, one turned vigorous and assertive; and at 40, one became powerful.She wasn't even 30 yet, so this shouldn't be happening.Jessamine's gaze was somewhat hazy. She was hesitant to lift her head and look at herself in the mirror. She didn't need to look at herself to know how flushed she must've looked, which made her feel quite embarrassed.Thaddeus finally stopped picking on her, and there was a hint of glee in his expression. "Jessie, are we still on good terms?"Jessamine felt like her mind wa

The door clicked shut from the inside. Thaddeus stood outside the door with a silly smile on his face.His phone chimed with a notification tone, indicating a new message had come in. His classmate had finally replied to the message he sent at noon. He quickly opened the message chat.His classmate asked, "Why are you inquiring about that hospital?""I have someone's medical records I want to check. Do you know a way for me to do so?" Thaddeus inquired.The classmate's reply was prompt. "Send the name over. I will try."Thaddeus immediately sent Burry's name over. "Their name is Burry, and they've been visiting that hospital in recent days. Thanks!"Thaddeus sent the message and also included a photo of Burry. It was easier to look her up by providing more information.For the next few minutes, there was no new response.Jessamine came out of the bathroom and saw him looking lost in his thoughts while holding his phone. "Where did you obtain Colin's hair?"Thaddeus reached out

The next day, news articles about Jessamine winning the award were released and were shared in various group chats.Among the top ten in the competition, there were two winners from Crestia. The champion, of course, was Jessamine.Another award recipient who placed fifth was a designer from Holt Jewelry's design department. For a competition of this caliber, securing fifth place was quite an impressive achievement.Based on Jessamine's understanding of Holt Jewelry's bylaws, the person in fifth place was also eligible to receive a substantial bonus from the company.During this time, the entire design department at Holt Jewelry was celebrating this event.If the news was officially announced, media outlets would soon quickly reach out for interviews. As the leading jewelry company in the country, winning the award wasn't really a big deal. In fact, it would've been more surprising if they didn't win it.When everyone saw the winners' list, they also saw who the championship recip
