"We're going straight to the hospital. The doctors will take good care of you." Colin said gently, his tone tender as if comforting an injured kitten.He carried Gwyneth out of the abandoned factory and carefully placed her in the back seat.Zac hurried to open the car door, attentively caring for Gwyneth while not forgetting to "remind" Colin again, "Colin, this incident needs to be thoroughly investigated. We cannot let the real culprit get away!"Colin shot him a cold glance without speaking, just nodding grimly. He got into the driver's seat and started the engine. The convoy sped away from the abandoned factory at breakneck speed.In the car, Colin frequently checked on Gwyneth in the back seat through the rearview mirror, his eyes full of tenderness and affection.…Meanwhile, surveillance footage was playing on the computer screen at Aspen's apartment.Aspen and Aren stood side by side in front of the computer, carefully analyzing the images."Look, Aren. Gwyneth left th

Tears streamed down Gwyneth's face uncontrollably as she gripped Colin's hand tightly, like someone clutching a lifeline."Colin, they... they were so terrifying..." she spoke in broken fragments. Her voice was choked with sobs, as if still experiencing tremendous shock.Colin's heart clenched as he patiently guided her. "Gwyneth, take your time. Tell me, what did they do to you?"Gwyneth closed her eyes and took a deep breath, seeming to struggle with those terrible memories. When she opened her eyes again, they were filled with terror and unease. It was as if she'd returned to that dark, abandoned factory.Gwyneth's voice trembled with fear. "They wouldn't give me food or water, and they... they beat me..."She raised her bandaged arm, her voice breaking as she continued, "They whipped me and kicked me... Colin, I really thought I was going to die, and that I'd never see you again..."By the end, Gwyneth could no longer control her emotions and broke down sobbing. Colin's heart

Riley carefully stored the copied files on an encrypted USB drive, then quickly cleared all traces of his activities from the computer. He pocketed the USB drive, his expression resolute and determined."Ms. Nicholls, this is what you asked me to do. I hope you won't let me down," he mumbled.…Meanwhile, Chester approached Aspen and Aren with his phone inside the coffee shop, looking somewhat grave."Aspen, I've got something. Dr. Powell is on the move," Chester said in a low, urgent voice.Aspen and Aren immediately looked at him expectantly."He bought a fake passport and plans to smuggle himself out of the country. His destination is Ackmeria," Chester said quickly."Ackmeria?" Aspen's brow furrowed. "Why would he smuggle himself to Ackmeria? Does Gwyneth have backup plans there?""Unclear, but one thing's certain—Dr. Powell definitely knows something, or rather, he's holding key evidence against Gwyneth," Aren analyzed calmly."We have to stop him!" Aspen said decisively.

"Chester, this isn't your business. Get lost!" Colin glared at Chester with hostility."Mr. Fuller, this is my friend's home. Don't you think you're overstepping by saying it's none of my business?" Chester shot back without backing down, his tone firm."You..." Colin trembled with rage, pointing at Aspen and Chester. "Fine, very well! Just you wait and see!"With that, Colin stormed out of the apartment with his men.…Aspen, Aren, Chester, and Riley had come into the secret room again at the abandoned factory.Riley pointed to an iron box in the corner of the room. "Ms. Nicholls, my people found this in the factory's secret room. Let's see what's inside."Aspen stepped forward and opened the box, revealing several medical restraint straps inside. The restraints were brand new but bore a series of numbers.Aspen picked up one of the straps, carefully examining the numbers, her expression shifting slightly."Are these... hospital-grade medical restraints?" Aspen asked with con

The diagnosis section read, "Patient is in good physical condition. No external injuries. Stable mental state. No signs of depression."Aspen, Aren, Chester, and Riley exchanged glances, their eyes filled with shock and disbelief. It seemed like the truth was ready to emerge.Meanwhile, Aren used technical means to crack into the electronic files at Stefan's hospital."Encrypted files decrypted." Aren's voice carried steady satisfaction, breaking the office silence.Aspen immediately stood and moved to the computer screen. On screen, what had been scrambled files was now readable. It was a psychiatric electronic medical record.The name on the record clearly read "Gwyneth Sanders"."Psychiatric records?" Chester leaned closer to the screen, squinting carefully. "So Gwyneth actually has mental health problems?"Aspen quickly scanned the record contents, a cold smile on her lips."The record is real, but the illness is fake.""What do you mean?" Chester didn't catch on immediate
