Chapter 1565


    “This will take some time. Please be patient, Mr. Chriss,” the doctor said.


    Elijah licked his dry lips and tugged his tie, letting out a deep sigh. Waiting was the only option he had


    at the moment.


    Restlessness suddenly overcame him as he nced at Sasha on the surgical table, still unconscious


    under anesthesia.


    Curiosity got the best of him. As her brother, he feltpelled to see her true face. He needed to


    understand the extent of any disfigurement and what kind of surgeon he should seek for reconstruction.


    With determined steps, Elijah entered the room and hesitated only briefly before unveiling Sasha’s


    face.


    In that split second, shock and astonishment filled his eyes. “This is… Lena?!”


    Meanwhile, Chris anxiously paced in the living room.


    Not long after, Fleur’s two trusted subordinates, Cody and Tessa Kovac, returned. They had received


    professional training, making them agile and quick thinkers, highly valued by Fleur.


    Fleur eagerly asked, “What’s the situation?”


    Cody and Tessa reported, “We followed Ms. Harding closely, and she neither met anyone nor


    answered any calls. However, upon arriving at the hospital, she put on a unique mask from her bag,


    made of gold with gemstone iys. It seems quite valuable.”


    “A mask?” Chris frowned. “Lenny never wore a mask before. This is unusual…”


    “What else did you observe?”


    “We witnessed Ms. Harding being abducted, with someone forcibly silencing her. It was clear they were


    working for Elijah Chriss.”


    “Elijah kidnapped her?” Fleur’s confusion grew. “This doesn’t make sense.”


    “Yes, we found it puzzling, too,” the siblings added. “But we decided to report back before following


    further.”


    Tessa asked, “Madam, Could Ms. Harding be coborating with the Chrisses for some reason?”


    “Unlikely,” Chris replied. “Lenny wouldn’t conspire with outsiders, and she’s close to the Chrisses. Elijah


    wouldn’t harm her like this.”


    As they discussed, the inte on the wall suddenly buzzed withmotion.


    Fleur instructed the security team to investigate.


    Upon their return, they reported, “It’s Mr. Chriss. He entered the vi and insists on seeing Mr. Chris,


    iming it’s urgent.”


    Fleur furrowed her brow, considering their limited interactions with the Chrisses. If there were any


    connections, it likely involved Lena. Could Elijah’s arrival be rted to her?


    Chris’s heart raced, and he couldn’t wait any longer. He allowed Elijah to enter.


    Elijah wasted no time and immediately asked, “Where’s Lena?”

    Fleur raised her hand to stop her son and approached Elijah with a smile. “Didn’t you summon her?


    Lenny went to the school to finish some work.”


    Elijah took a few deep breaths and tried to steady his voice as he showed Fleur a DNA test report with


    Sasha’s name on it.


    “Mrs. Hamerton, things are quiteplicated,” Elijah said in a low voice. “Sasha Harding here is my


    younger sister, yet she has the exact same face as Lena.”
