Chapter 1807


    “What’s wrong, Chris?”


    “Oh, nothing.” Chris snapped back to reality.


    The director followed his gaze and chuckled, exining, “You’re looking at them? They’re likely family


    members of some of the residents here at the rehab center. Visits are strictly controlled. They’re waiting


    here for clearance. Only after they get permission can they go in for a visit.”


    “Okay.” Chris nodded.


    Jodie and Cindy casually shifted their gaze in their direction. Although neither recognized Chris, his


    special forces background endowed him with a talent for facial recognition.


    Confidently, Chris identified the stylish young woman as Harvey’s elder sister, Jodie Newhouse—the


    same person from the family photo at the Newhouse residence.


    As for the middle-aged woman, Chris recalled Maisie holding her hand and referring to her as “Mom”


    during the hotel reception hosted by Daniel. Back then, Maisie had left to get Persephone cotton candy


    while Chris went to the restroom. He didn’t dwell on it much at the time, just a fleeting nce during his


    meal. Yet, his memory served him well—this middle-aged woman was Maisie’s mother!


    The puzzle lingered: Why was Maisie’s mother there with Jodie?

    Jodie noticed Chris. His looks were exceptional, but his eyes held a vignt and icy demeanor akin to a


    wolf in the jungle. Her heart skipped a beat, and she instinctively turned away from him. She found it


    risky, so she decided to leave first.


    “Hey, where are you going?” Cindy grabbed her. “We’ll be allowed in soon!”


    “I’m not going.”Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated For All Books Updates…


    “You—” Unable to tolerate Jodie’s inconsistency, Cindy shouted, “That’s your brother in there, enduring


    hardships. What’s so hard about visiting him?! “


    “Shut up!” Jodie red, each word biting. “I’ve said it before: I have no rtionship with you! Get lost!”


    Cindy stumbled back from Jodie’s push, and Jodie ran off without looking back.


    Just as Cindy almost fell, Chris supported her from behind. “Ma’am, watch your step!”


    Cindy didn’t recognize him.


    However, at a closer distance this time, Chris was 100% sure she was Maisie’s mother, the same


    woman he saw at the hotel.


    “Ma’am, that was—”


    Cindymented, pounding her chest, “Why is my life so bitter… My son is in rehab, and my daughter


    ignores me… My life is so miserable!”


    Chris said nothing more. He handed Cindy over to the guards of the rehab center for her visit.


    “Bro, I know you have a good heart,” the director said in a lowered voice, “But keep your distance from


    such elderly women in the future. Don’t rush to help. Otherwise, you might get into trouble if they


    decide to frame you!”


    “Hey, I’m not scared of that.”


    “Thatdy just now.” The director grimaced. “I remember her. She’s a pro at throwing tantrums! Her son


    is in rehab here, and she offended Daniel from the Quimby Group… In short, avoid her if you see her in


    the future, got it?”


    “And the girl just now, is she her daughter?”


    “I’m not sure. I have never seen her before.”
