Chapter 24: Imprisonment


    In the afternoon, Kylo received news of Amora''s escape while he was in the hospital.


    She has fled! Again! His heart skipped a beat, but soon, the distressed man received a call from an


    anonymous number.


    "Hello?"


    "Hey, Mr.Reed.It''s me, Amora.I''m so sorry, but I snuck out to see my aunt.Don''t worry.I''ll make my way


    back to the apartment once I''m done visiting them!"


    Amora, the source of his distress, gave him a call and exined the reasons behind her sudden


    departure.


    Kylo was uncertain if he should be d.


    After he peeked at Kane who was still unconscious in the ward.


    "Alright.But can you please hurry before Mr.Ronin is aware of your disappearance?"


    "Don''t worry! I''ll definitely keep that in mind and return once I''m done!"


    Amora felt as though a boulder had been lifted off her shoulders since Kylo wasn''t particrly against


    the idea.


    She hung up after assuring him.Kylo could feel his head throbbing.


    He should be d Amora could remember his contact number after five years.


    He doubted she even knew Kane''s number.


    Due to her escape, he knew he would have to deal with all sorts of issues soon.


    When Kylo was about to enter the ward, the doctor approached him, "Mr.Kylo, Mr.Ronin''s CT scan


    shows no sign of brain hemorrhaging.However, we can''t ignore the symptoms.To be frank, hemorrhage


    is unavoidable because of his current condition."


    "What should we do, doctor?" Kylo was anxious.


    The doctor shook his head and said, "I''m sure after visiting countless doctors domestically, you would


    know his condition better than me, right?"


    The doctor continued, "I know you went abroad to seek another doctor''s opinion in Clear Hospital.Why


    have you returned so soon? Speaking of which, why was he unconscious and rushed to the hospital


    the moment you returned? Can''t that doctor do anything about it?"


    Kylo heaved a long sigh at that.


    Who would''ve known that famous doctor from Clear Hospital was Kane''s "dead" wife from five years


    ago?


    "As Mr.Ronin’ specialist, are you overestimating the effects of TCM?"


    "No.I believe you should do some research into TCM.It is a skill that originated in our country


    thousands of years ago.Take acupuncture, for example.It controls a patient''s condition by administering


    the needles to the pressure points.This can be more beneficial to the patientpared to surgery that


    is usually a rmendation for Western medicine."


    There was conviction, even a hint of admiration in the specialist''s voice as he exined the benefits of


    TCM, especially acupuncture, to Kylo.


    When the assistant nced at the unconscious Kane and fell into a deep thought.


    There''s no harm in asking Madam to take a look at Mr.Ronin, right? In the afternoon, Amora returned to


    her aunt''s home with her son.


    As expected, Jackson ckwood started scolding her the moment she stepped into the house.


    Although he was an ill-tempered man, Amora could barely defend herself because everything her uncle


    had said was right.


    She might have told them about her "death"


    five years ago, but she left the country with her two children without their knowledge and she hadn''t


    sent word of how she was doing over the years.


    "Amora Rory! What brings you her today? Aren''t you going to stay away from us for the rest of your life


    since you don''t need us anymore?"


    "N-No, Uncle...T-This will always be my home...H-How could I possibly stay away from my loved ones


    forever?"


    "Ha! What a joke! A Rory is not one of us! You don''t belong here!"


    Meanwhile, Vivian, who was upstairs, heard themotion and rushed out of the room.


    She held on to her brother and asked, "Why is Uncle Jackson scolding Mommy? Does he hate her?"


    Matteo noticed his sister had pouted her lips and was about to cry.


    He patted her back and assured her, "It''s fine, Vivian.he''s scolding Mommy because she has been


    naughtytely.It''s just like how she would scold us when we''re being naughty."

    The little boy understood his frustration.


    Vivian fought back the urge to cry after the exnation.


    Finally, Amora''s aunt Sharon couldn''t hold it back anymore.


    She rushed out of the room and said, "I believe that''s enough.Can Amora undo history with all your


    scolding? Why don''t you cut the conversation short and stop wasting our time?"


    Jackson stopped immediately.


    Amora''s eyes were brimming with tears of guilt from Sharon''s words.


    "A-Aunt Sharon..."


    "You don''t have to exin yourself, but I want you to tell me what''s your next best course of action?


    Are you going to meet that old fe?"


    Her aunt was rtively calm aspared to her frustrated uncle.


    Nheless, her callous tone wasn''t a good sign.


    Literally, she dead-panned her question as though she couldn''t be bothered by her niece''s decision.


    Amora avoided her aunt''s gaze.


    "I have no intention of seeing them.If the Ronin knows I''m still alive, they''ll force me to return to the


    family."


    "I guess you''re not a fool, huh? However, if he insists on having you back, I don''t think there''s anything


    you can do about it."


    "Aunt, you''re right.I''m still thinking of a way to deal with that.Speaking of which, I''m afraid I can''t allow


    Matteo and Vivian to stay with you anymore.If they drop by and the children are here, I..."


    "Feel free to do as you desire!"
