Chapter 61


    In the hospital room, aside from the sound of dining, there was no other sound. The pair of


    grandfather and grandson


    shared nomunication.


    The nurse who served Leonard felt something was amiss. Yet, she dared not ask questions. After


    all, those were the two most powerful people in Strico,


    Finally, when Leonard was about 70% full, he asked, “I heard that recently you haven’t been staying


    in the mansion?”


    “Yes,” Jonathan answered dryly. He was not surprised that Leonard knew about this. After all, there


    would be Leonard’s informant in the mansion.


    “Where are you staying?” asked Leonard.


    “Outside,” Jonathan replied.


    “Why do you want to live outside?” Leonard inquired.


    “The mansion is a little deserted,” he said, seemingly randomly. He picked up another shrimp and


    shelled it unhurriedly.


    “Speaking of which, at your age, it’s time for you to have a life partner. I will ask the secretary to


    collect information on the city’s socialitester. You can choose one Leonard’s tone had deemed the


    task to be as simple as picking out an outfit.


    Jonathan momentarily paused shelling the prawn and swiftly said, “There’s no need.”


    Leonard narrowed his eyes and queried. “Why?”

    “If it’s just to find a woman to give birth to offspring, then I have my own candidate,” he answered.


    He thought, “In the past, I have felt that if I were destined to have a child to inherit the Youngblood


    family in the future, it didn’t matter with which woman I have the child.”


    But now, he felt that if he needed a child, he would wish the mother of his child was Rosalie.


    If the child inherited their blood and genes, that would be rather good.


    “Candidate?” Leonard was stunned and continued to probe, “Are you…”


    At that moment, Jonathan’s phone suddenly rang. He was slightly caught off guard and retrieved an


    inexpensive mobile phone from his pocket. Looking at the caller ID on it, he immediately stood up


    and pressed the answer button. However, when he heard the sounding from the other end of


    the phone, the expression on his face suddenly changed.


    J-Jon, save me.”


    Even though the voice was hoa rse and broken, he could immediately recognize that it was Rosalie


    voice.


    But before he could ask, the call was abruptly cut off. He swiftly tried reconnecting the line, but the


    voice message indicated he could not get through.


    “Did something bad happen to Rosalie?” he wondered. At that precise moment, even he had no


    idea how pale he was under the light. Then, he informed Leonard, “I have something else to do,


    Grandpa. I need to leave first.”


    After saying that, he hurriedly rushed out of the hospital room.


    A trace of gloom shed across Leonard’s face. The expression on his grandson’s face made him


    think back to when his son had looked as such for that woman.


    His son not only willingly broke all ties with his family, but he even abandoned glory and wealth for


    that woman. But in the end, look what happened to him.


    If a man loved a woman too deeply, it was destined to be a tragedy.


    “And just then, what kind of woman would make Jonathan lose hisposure?” Leonard


    wondered.


    Meanwhile, Rosalie had not expected her rtives would drug her. Although she did not consume


    alcoholic beverages during dinner, she had a drink nheless. She felt weak and had no strength


    at all.


    Wilma wanted to stop them, but she was stopped by Sarah. Daniel and Edward had carried her into


    the Foster family,


    At that time, she was locked in a room by the Foster family. And in the room, there was a stranger.


    That could be the dimwit they were talking about in the Foster family.


    Rosalie tried to stay awake. She needed to make it out of there. She had to escape, no matter


    what!


    But now that Rosalie was in such a state, even standing up would be difficult. How could she


    escape? When Daniel and Edward carried her over, she secretly wanted to call for help with her


    phone. Only to have that taken away and confiscated 100.


    It could be said that her chance to ask for help was absolutely nonexistent.


    “Why When I had the phone, why did I call Jon first? Evidently, Jon is in Strico. He can’t be of much


    help to me at all.


    Moreover, what can he do to help? Maybe 1 should have called Lillian, who may have been more


    helpful. Or perhaps calling the police directly,” she wondered about all sorts of possibilities.


    It dawned on her when she realized, “It seems that unconsciously. I have started to rely on Jon”


    Her vision had be blurred. The strange man smirked and pounced on her. She could only try


    to dodge, but there was no way for her to avoid the figure.


    Meanwhile, the Foster and Lopez families were settling their ounts happily outside the room.


    Rosalie’s uncle, Daniel, said, “We’ve brought her here, Ken. You can’t deny us the 60,000 dors.”


    “Okay. Once they’re done, I’ll give you 60,000 dors,” said Keh Foster. He continued to think,


    “To have my son get married and have offspring for the Foster family. I have risked it all.”


    Keh’s wife was a little worried and queried, “What if that girl still wants to run away after that?”


    “Then, you can take a few indiscreet photos of her, and you’ll have your hold over her. You can even


    lock her up for a year and a half. When the baby is born, she will have nowhere to run but to stay


    put as your daughter-inw.” Daniel answered. He showed no pity toward Rosalie whatsoever, for


    his thoughts were on mary gains.


    “That’s right. Once a woman gives birth to a child, she will stay put. You are a woman yourself, so


    you should understand,” Edward hurriedly added.


    Keh’s wife, Laura Foster, thought so too, but she was still slightly concerned. “Well, will it work?


    If she resists, our son…”


    “There’s no way she can resist. She has no energy or strength to do so, said Edward.


    Keh chipped in. “Don’t worry. Td taught my son the night before. No matter how silly he is, he


    knows what to do.”


    Keh’s wife Laura was relieved upon hearing their reassurances.


    The four of them were eating and drinking merrily in the yard. At that time, there were suddenly


    sounds of cars approaching them from outside.


    “It’s sote. Whose car can that be?” Keh muttered and stood up. He sta gg ered tipsily to the


    door and opened it. When he was about to shout, he was stupefied at the scene before him.


    At the front door, the ce was swamped with police cars, which almost surrounded the whole


    building. Keh’s state of drunkenness was instantly half gone.


    “W-What’s going on?’ he wondered in shock.


    Subsequently, the police officers got out of the car, thronged the ce, and surrounded the yard.


    Upon seeing the academy of police officers, the lot of them, Daniel, Edward, and Laura, were all


    scared beyond speechless on the spot. They had no idea what was going on.


    “Where is the woman you’ve brought back?” asked one of the officers, who seemed to be in


    charge.


    The four looked at one another. It was Keh who spoke first, “What woman? We don’t know what


    you are talking about.” The officer could not be bothered with his nonsense and directly<pmanded, “Search!” All at once, the police began to search each room.
