Chapter 330
Claudette was slightly surprised. In fact, she had already sensed that
Emmanuel was not an ordinary doctor, and now she felt that he was more
and more capable. Not only was he talented in medicine, but he was also
skilled in martial arts, too. A man like him is a hidden gem. I’ll feel so safe
marrying him!
“But I don’t know how to further develop with him, Aunt Laura,” she expressed
her concern.
“That’s why I’m here to help you,” Laura said triumphantly. “His cousin is in a
coma after being hit by a car. I’ve already hired a renowned doctor.
Emmanuel and his cousin are like brothers. If you help him wake up his
cousin, he will be grateful to you. By then, you can take advantage of the
situation.”
At her words, Claudette was taken aback. What a cunning woman she is. No
wonder even Dad fell into her trap.
Early the next morning, Emmanuel went to pick up Tommy, but to his surprise,
Ryder’s house was locked, and no one answered the door, no matter how
hard he knocked.
“Did Abellyn take Tommy to school this early?” He checked the time. There’s
still half an hour before Tommy’s school time. Given Abellyn’s personality, it’s
highly unlikely that she would do that.
Yesterday, he used the spare key in Tommy’s school bag to open the door.
Now that no one was answering the door, he had no choice but to go to the
kindergarten to find Tommy.

“Hi, Mr. Lowe. Nice to see you again.” The teacher at Tommy’s kindergarten, Tia
Poole, showed a hint of surprise with sparkling eyes when she saw Emmanuel
again.
“Hi. I’m here to find Tommy.” He nodded and solely felt that the teacher’s
attitude was good.
At his words, Tia immediately froze. “Tommy? Didn’t he take a day off today?”
“He took a day off?” It was Emmanuel who froze this time.
“Yes. His mother requested it for him. Isn’t Tommy seriously ill?”
“Seriously ill?!” He suddenly had a bad feeling. What is Abellyn trying to do?
“Yes, what happened to Tommy–hey, wait! Mr. Lowe!” She wanted to
continue talking to him, but he had turned around and left. At once, the
hopeful look in her eyes turned into disappointment. At least tell me your
name and contact information so I can contact you. Alas, maybe next time, I
guess.
Emmanuel returned to Ryder’s house once again but still received no
response, no matter how hard he knocked, and it frustrated him. It looks like
I’ve underestimated Abellyn. Breaking into the house is easy, but it’s not
necessary to do that. Plus, it doesn’t do him any good if there’s no one inside.
The most important thing now is to cure Ryder as soon as possible and
expose Abellyn in court. After that, I can naturally find Tommy.
On the other hand, Mackenzie sat in the Bentley, looking out of the car
window expressionlessly.
Meanwhile, Wally was driving and heading toward the Terence Group when
he suddenly heard instructions from the back seat. “Stop the car.”
“Huh? Yes, Ms. Quillen.” Immediately, he stopped the car. What is Ms. Quillen
trying to do? We’re in the middle of the road!
In the next moment, she gave another command. “Wally, quickly go and stop
that mother and son.”
Looking in the direction she pointed, he saw a mother dragging and pulling
the son in front of a breakfast shop. It seemed that the mother was trying to
force the son to do something, but the son refused stubbornly.
They were none other than Abellyn and Tommy.
Without the need to understand the situation, Wally promptly obeyed
Mackenzie’s instructions and stepped out of the car, positioning himself in
front of Abellyn.
