(Olivia’s POV)

It was Annelise Moonstone, Ethan’s mother and Fan Moonstone’s mate. Her face was gentle, almost motherly, but something in her eyes made me hesitate.

I turned away from her and got into my own car. Matthew’s warning echoed in my mind: Fan Moonstone was plotting against him. I couldn’t risk getting involved.

Annelise quickly got out of her SUV and hurried over to my window. “Ethan is injured. Don’t you want to go see him?”

I nced at her several times, studying her face for deception, before pulling my car door shut. However, Annelise grabbed the handle before I could lock it.

“Miss ckwood, Ethan is very badly hurt, he might be dying.” Her voice cracked with emotion. “Are you sure you don’t want to see him? He mentioned you to me.”

spanng="EN"As the mood had lightened a bit, Fabian thought it was the perfect opportunity and inquired about today’s incident, “By the way~ … did any of you …… happen to encounter any familiar face at the mall?”

spanng="EN"Myra’s eyes flickered just for a sh of a second, but she resumed her usual demeanor and replied, “No~ …. Why do you ask? Was there someone I knew?”

spanng="EN"Fabian, who has been thinking about this throughout the journey and getting anxious on his own, visibly rxed.

spanng="EN"He then replied, “Nahh~ … just asking casually. The ce was packed. I thought I saw someone from the university there. By the way, don’t take my request so casually. I am still angry about it, you know. And next time, don’t go out without telling me.”

spanng="EN"Myra sighed, “You are being stoic again. We were just there to shop. By the way, tomorrow~ …” She was about to tell him about tomorrow’s invitation, but before that, his ringtone erupted.

spanng="EN"He nced at his phone and clicked his tongue unconsciously, “It’s an urgent call.”

spanng="EN"“Go ahead,” Myra said.

spanng="EN"He picked it up right in front of her and answered, “Hello.”

spanng="EN"Myra couldn’t hear what the other person was saying, but the changes on Fabian’s face were telling that it had to be something work rted. Fabian hummed in response, “Got it,” and then disconnected the call.

spanng="EN"Myra asked, “What happened? Is everything going well with the work you are busy with?”

spanng="EN"Releasing a heavy sigh, Fabian replied, “It is nothing serious. You know, about the annual seminar held by Red Stone. It is scheduled for tomorrow. And all the prominent figures, politicians, and influential business personalities from around the globe will be attending. I am in charge of it this time. It is a bit taxing for me as I have to check every minute detail. I don’t want any mistakes to happen.”

spanng="EN"“I know you will do well,” Myra encouraged her.

spanng="EN"“I will be busy tomorrow, so don’t go out on your own. And tell this to Yelena as well as Wendy, hmmm?” Fabian spoke, his voice stern.

spanng="EN"Myra held her tongue, thinking of giving him a surprise at the event. ’He would be shocked to see us at the venue. I should zip my mouth for now.’ She nodded at his words, trying to picture his face when he sees them tomorrow.

spanng="EN"“Oh, you were saying something about tomorrow. What is it?” Fabian inquired.

spanng="EN"His steps came to a sudden halt as he saw a simr looking back profile, which was identical to that of Myra’s. The golden bronze hair that cascaded down the person’s waist in wavy curls obstructed the facepletely. In this particr area, the survivors, who have sustained injuries, were gathered, so the air was thick with a mixture of bloody smell from all that.

spanng="EN"With slow yet decisive steps, he approached the person, his eyes expectant. But as soon as Dion got closer and was about to put his hand on her shoulder to turn her around, the girl noticed her friend’s gaze who was staring with her mouth agape, pointing behind her back. The girl looked back to find Dion, whose facial expressions were betraying his usual yful personality. His face held a forlorn expression.

spanng="EN"Dion stopped his hand midair, realizing it wasn’t Myra after all, his face wrinkled. The girl cleared her throat and asked, “Do you need something?” Saying this, she gave him a charming smile, anticipating his answer. She thought he was here to ask for her contact details.

spanng="EN"“Sorry~ …. I got the wrong person,” to her dismay, Dion replied and walked off to the other side to resume his search again. But no matter how desperately or hopelessly he looked for Myra, or any other lingering trace of her, he just couldn’t find one.

spanng="EN"Drey remarked, ’Maybe the ambnce took her to the hospital. Maybe, our mate is gravely injured.’ Dion was thinking the same thing and was about to go to the hospital, but before that, ric’s mind link interrupted him, ’Dion, what’s taking you so long? Haven’t you finished your call yet? We are waiting for you,’ he questioned.

spanng="EN"Exhaling an exhaustion filled sigh and ruffling his copper locks in frustration, Dion replied, ’I am done with my call. You guys can go ahead. I need to go to the hospital.’

spanng="EN"’Hospital? What for?’ ric frowned as he probed further.

spanng="EN"’Umm~ …. actually~ …. a child whom I rescued was sent to the hospital, as she had fainted due to excessive trauma. I will go and take a look at her condition and overall situation as well. Al, you guys don’t need to for me. I will meet you back at the hotel in an hour, okay,’ after conveying his piece, he disconnected his mind link and blocked it as well. He didn’t want any nagging or distraction while he was busy chasing after Myra. “This time …… this time, I won’t let you go. I won’t let you run away again,” he muttered under his breath as he clenched the stained cloth, which was lying inside his pocket.

spanng="EN"ric creased his brows at Dion’s words and tried to ask about more details, but when he tried to mind link with him, he found it was blocked. This made him suspicious, ’Something is amiss. What is he trying to do now?’

spanng="EN"’What is?’ Alex inquired. He sometimes couldn’t understand ric, hispanion’s thoughts.

spanng="EN"’Nothing. It’s just that~’ ric’s words were caught in his throat as he saw the same girl, who had an identical build and hair color, just like Myra.

spanng="EN"Alex said, squealing, ’Mate. Al, didn’t you say I was hallucinating and being all delusional? See … see for yourself. It has to be our mate. No, it is our mate.’

spanng="EN"ric hurried towards her in an attempt to finally catch Myra. He approached her from the side and called out while sping at her wrist, “Myra Miracle? I finally found you,” His voice came out low hoarse.

spanng="EN"The girl shifted her gaze to her wrist. Feeling annoyed by this sudden skinship, she then gazed at ric to give him her piece of mind, but when she saw ric’s divinely handsome face, she was mesmerized by him. Her friend elbowed her and whispered, “It’s your lucky day, as so many handsome guys are approaching you.” Thinking like that girl’s face brightened, “Yes, Mr. Handsome. What were you saying?”

spanng="EN"ric pulled his hand back instantly and rubbed it unconsciously on his pants to wipe it clean. He was behaving as if she had some sort of touchable disease, as he frowned. Then, without a word of apology or anything, he walked back to Elio, who was talking to one of the rescue team members.

spanng="EN"Alex was thoroughly disheartened as ric said, ’Didn’t I say you were just having a hallucination? She is not here. Because if she were, we would have caught her scent by now. You are getting more and more nutjob by the day after that person.’
