After Yvie left, Renee found a new sense of security with Adam's presence—he had been the one who kept her going in the six years since they met, until their divorce.That was why she was earnestly grateful toward Adam for being her light in her darkest moments.And that was also why she couldn't really bring herself to hate him even though he ultimately betrayed her.Without him, she really had no idea how she would have survived her turbulent youth.Meanwhile, the Evergreen Care Center director had sent the security guards and others he could spare. However, despite everyone joining in the search for Emma, ​​she was still nowhere to be found after two hours.As such, Renee and Adam went to the security room to check the camera footage. After watching the footage for a couple of hours, they found Emma blending in with a group of patients' relatives visiting the nursing home and leaving with them.As Adam led Renee out of the nursing home, he suggested, "Let's go together. I can

Alison sniffled. "Renee said she went missing from Evergreen Care Center yesterday morning, around eleven or twelve…""Okay, got it," Jasper replied and hung up, grabbing his coat, as he rushed out of the CEO's office.Luke was right outside—it was already half past nine, and he was about to remind Jasper they were supposed to be leaving for Hortensia Holdings. Before he could even speak, Jasper told him sternly, "Come on. We need to get to Evergreen Care Center.""What? Evergreen Care Center?" Luke was puzzled. "But we should be heading to Hortensia Holdings for—""Cancel everything for the rest of the day," Jasper said bluntly.Luke definitely had no idea what was going on, but seeing the grim look on Jasper's face, he knew that it was very serious.So, without further questions, he called Yvie. "Ms. Irwin? Can you please call everyone to inform them that Mr. Zeller won't be making it to any of his appointments today?""Okay," Yvie replied without asking any questions, simpl

Adam promptly turned the car while assuring Renee, "Alright, alright! We will head over right now. Just calm down."It wasn't far from the south bank of Lyndon River, and there wasn't much traffic since it was also quite far from the city center, taking just twentyish minutes to drive over.As they headed over, Renee's fingers were squeezing her phone as she tried to control her emotions.However, she was trembling in fear and said nothing for a while—it was quite telling. Adam didn't know how to comfort her and could only repeat the same few words."It's going to be alright. I'm here for you—don't worry too much about it."He even turned on the car radio to play a soothing piano tune, not knowing that he made the situation worse as Renee started to wipe her uncontrollable tears with a tissue.Hearing her sniffling louder by the minute, Adam promptly turned off the music.Thirty minutes later, they arrived at the south bank of Lyndon River.As they stopped by the curb, Renee

"Nothing behind the left ear," the forensic doctor said and turned the head to the side. "Nothing here either.""Nothing?" Adam asked in disbelief. "Really?""Yes," the forensic doctor replied. "Heck, forget birthmarks—there aren't even moles there."Renee quickly straightened at the forensic doctor's words and turned, only to flinch when she saw the completely disfigured face again.Still, her delight overpowered her fear as she pressed the forensic doctor, asking, "Is there really no birthmark?""Defintiely not. See it for yourself if you don't believe me." The forensic doctor turned the body's head to the right to show her the left ear. "Look."Renee turned to look, and it was as the forensic doctor said—the skin was fair and deathly pale, with no scarring or any other marks left on it.Her pounding heart slowly eased, and she breathed a long sigh. "That's not my mother…""Oh. I guess that's good news." The officer in charge sighed in relief too and clapped Renee on the shou

Candy worked at air traffic control, and her exotic appearance with bushy brows and large eyes were especially appealing, so there were plenty of men at the department who wooed her. And it was just the start of this year when a middle-aged flight captain started to court her passionately, arranging secret rendezvous and showering her with gifts behind everyone's back.Candy certainly couldn't resist the allure of such a gorgeous face, especially when he showed up at work every day looking sharp in his captain's uniform. It didn't take over a month for Candy to get obsessed, and they even moved in together.However, when Renee caught the captain shopping for jewelry with another woman at the mall, she promptly told Candy what she had seen and told Candy to leave the captain.Even so, Candy was completely obsessed with the captain and questioned Renee, even asking if she was just throwing mean-spirited baseless accusations.It just so happened that the captain and the woman left b
