Chapter 391
Mackenzie’s beautiful eyes narrowed as her mind raced. After a moment, she
instructed Lexi, “I got it. Keep investigating and find a way to contact
Emmanuel. Let him know I want to see him and tell him to come back
immediately!”
“Yes, Ms. Quillen!” Lexi replied.
As Mackenzie hung up the phone, Alessandra immediately grew anxious and
asked, “Mackenzie, what’s wrong? Did something happen to Manny?”
Mackenzie quickly reassured her, “Mom, everything will be fine. I will protect
Emmanuel.”
She was assertive and strong–willed. Alessandra was a bit surprised but felt
comforted. Her daughter–in–law was reliable, and she was much better than
Abellyn. As long as Mackenzie still called her “Mom,” she believed the
marriage wouldn’t be lost.
Once I see Manny, I’ll make sure he holds on to Mackenzie. Such a great

daughter–in–law shouldn’t be let go; where else can we find someone like
her?
“Mom, you have to tell me something today. Where exactly did Emmanuel
serve in the military? Did he have any rank?” Mackenzie suddenly asked
seriously.
At first, she thought Emmanuel was just an ordinary retired soldier. However,
after more than two months of being together, she realized that this man’s
skills were incredibly powerful, and his medical expertise was extraordinary.
He was definitely not an ordinary person.

Being taken away by a mysterious force now also proved that he must have
had a background she didn’t know about. That seemingly naive man had
hidden his true background quite well!
“Well, he went to the Northern Region back then and rarely contacted us
during those years. His father passed away, and he couldn’t even make it
back due to circumstances. So, I’m not really sure about the specifics,”
Alessandra replied, thinking as she spoke.
“He didn’t tell you he held any military position?” Mackenzie asked again.
“No, Manny never mentioned it.” Alessandra shook her head.
“Then when he retired, did he receive any pension or benefits?” Mackenzie
continued her questioning.
Alessandra shook her head sadly. “None at all! My son isn’t ambitious in that
regard. Other soldiers who came back received quite a lot of benefits, but he
didn’t get anything.”
“He received nothing at all?!” This completely surprised Mackenzie. Could it be
that she had been wrong all along? Was Emmanuel not anyone important?
“That’s right! He didn’t receive anything. I heard he was dishonorably
discharged from the military due to committing a mistake and came back
empty–handed. That’s why he couldn’t find a woman and failed on 18 blind
dates!” Alessandra said, feeling a bit uneasy.
She quickly held Mackenzie’s hand and smiled wryly. “Mackenzie, my Manny
may not be ambitious, but he has a good heart and is very honest and
sincere to people.”
Mackenzie’s lips curved slightly as she reassured her, “Mom, I understand.
Well then, I’ll go now and find that idiot Emmanuel.”
“Okay then!” Alessandra reluctantly let go of Mackenzie’s hand. She didn’t
want to hold her back.
After leaving the Lowe Residence, Mackenzie drove while deep in thought. If
she wanted to uncover Emmanuel’s true identity, it seemed she would have
to start with Eve.
Regardless of whether Emmanuel was someone important or not, he had
saved her life twice, so she had to cherish him.
Hmph, I hate owing favors to people the most. You idiot, hurry up and come
back to me!
Mackenzie realized she really missed that man. Besides, thinking about him
and Claudette made her heart ache. She was filled with a profound sense of
guilt.
Now that Claudette was dead, only by indulging in her domineering love for
that man could she alleviate this sense of guilt!
