Chapter 655

Brian Addison refrained from starting another argument with his wife since she still did not fully recover

from her injuries. He simply sat by her bed with Lilin in his lap and kept apologizing to her.

The hospital dean personally came over to greet Brian when he got news of his arrival. “Mister Brian, I

didn’t know this lady here was your wife.”

Brian stood up and shook hands with the hospital dean. “Thank you for saving my wife’s life!”

“You’re most welcome but we’re just doing our jobs.”

“By the way, my wife told me a lady insisted on donating blood to save my wife’s life even though she

was pregnant. Where is that lady now?”

“I wasn’t there when it happened but I did hear about the lady you’re talking about. I’m not sure who

she is, but what I can tell you is she registered her name under Corinne Carew.”

“Corinne CarewQ That’s more than enough for me to go on. I’ll arrange for my men to look for her so

that I can thank her properly.”

The hospital dean nodded. ‘I do hope Mister Brian manages to find her. That girl deserves all the good

karma coming her way.’

Even though Brian might look like a scholar, he was an exceptional figure who played for both sides of

the law. The hospital dean did not doubt that Corinne would greatly benefit from being the Addisons’

savior.

A few days later.

Corinne deliberately chose a bright and sunny day to drop by the Lovelaces’ house, since she

promised Edgar that she would visit Gertrude whenever she was free. She also took the opportunity to

ask the old servants there for information about her mother.

According to the old servants she asked, Emily spent the first few years happily married to Maxwell.

After that, they started fighting more and more and Emily would often bring Corinne and Lucas back to

the Lovelaces’ place to stay for a few weeks.

Their quarrel started because of a woman. Her name was Phoebe Stewart and she happened to be

Emily’s best friend and the mother of Anya and Sunny. Corinne also learned Phoebe married Maxwell

not long after Emily went missing. With this information in hand, Corinne deduced Phoebe must have

engineered Emily’s disappearance for herself to marry Maxwell.

‘I guess the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. Anya must have learned how to pull off those shady

tricks from her mother,’ thought Corinne.

She turned down Edgar’s offer to have his driver send her home and simply walked out of the

mansion’s compound.

There was a black car parked outside the Lovelaces’ mansion and before Corinne could even wonder

who it belonged to, Edmund got out of the car and said matter-of-factly to her, “Miss Corinne, I’m here

on Mister Lucas’ order. I’m to bring you to the hospital for your surgery.”

Corinne raised her brow and silently stared at him for a good long while.

“Rest assured, Miss Corinne, that everything in the hospital is prepared to give you the best possible

outcome from the surgery. We’ve even gotten you all the supplements you would need to have for a

speedy recovery,” Edmund added.

“Mister Lucas sure is thoughtful. Well then, what are we waiting for?” said Corinne sarcastically. She

then got into the car without hesitation.

Meanwhile, Tommy was reporting to Jeremy in his office.

“Mister Jeremy, the hotel in Kanton City was unable to give us any information about Jade Rabbit

because all of her check-in details were fake and all the surveillance footage with her in it were

erased.”

“Okay.” Jeremy took a sip of coffee and thought, ‘Oh well, I guess that’s that. Since we’re both hackers,

she must know how important it is to keep our identities hidden so even if she manages to catch a

glimpse of my face, I trust she wouldn’t be going around leaking my identity to other people. However, if

she does, there’s a high chance her own identity would be exposed and I’ll be able to deal with her

then.’

“With that said, we did discover something that should be of interest to you, Mister Jeremy. During our

investigation, we found out Miss Corinne visited a hospital in Kanton City the same day you were

there.”

Jeremy’s face immediately darkened at the mention of Corinne. He narrowed his eyes and asked,

“What’s she doing there?”

“Apparently, she went there to donate her blood.”

“Donate her blood?” repeated Jeremy with a frown on his face. His eyes gradually darkened as he

thought, ‘Isn’t she pregnant? Why would she suddenly go to another city to donate her blood?’
