“Nothing, Miss Bennet.
You rest well.” Ivan closed the car door and took a couple of steps back.
He signaled the driver to leave.
The Maybach slowly drove out of the hospital compound.
Rachel looked at Ivan from the rearview mirror and felt that he had wanted to say something to her.

Quintin.
“Boss, how are you? Are you okay? Were you hurt?” Quintin wished he could get out of the screen and check Rachel.
“No, I’m fine.” Rachel removed her mask and took off her coat.
Quintin breathed a sigh of relief and asked, “What about Joe? Where is he? Is he frightened?”
Rachel’s hand froze for a bit as she threw the mask in the trash can.
She said, “He’s in Sue Garden.
Victor’s men took him away soon after the accident.
I don’t know how he is now.
However, his watch is here.”
Quintin grew nervous and asked worriedly, “Boss, now that Victor knows who you are, how about I cand pick you both from Apliaria?”
“No need.” Rachel pursed her lip.
“I’ll stay.”
An hour and a half later, a black Volkswagen was seen coming.
Slowly, it inched closer and finally cto a stop right in front of the Befamily’s yard.
The moment the car was parked, a man donning a well-pressed suit alighted from the driver’s seat with one hand on his briefcase.

While doing so, he produced a key from his briefcase.
He was about to insert the key into the keyhole when he realized that the door wasn’t locked at all.
For a moment, the man was taken aback.
And then, suddenly, a look of vigilance filled his eyes.
His visits to this place were quite rare and every the left, he made sure that the door was locked.
There must be someone inside.
He could not quite figure out who could possibly break into the property.
Gently, the man pushed the door open.
As he slowly walked in, he dialed 911 on his phone, ready to call the police.
However, before he could even press the call button, his eyes caught wind of someone’s presence on the sofa.
For a moment, he was left aghast.
His thumb that was about to press the dial button was suspended in the air.
