Chapter 391


    Mackenzie’s beautiful eyes narrowed as her mind raced. After a moment, she


    instructed Lexi, “I got it. Keep investigating and find a way to contact


    Emmanuel. Let him know I want to see him and tell him toe back


    immediately!”


    “Yes, Ms. Quillen!” Lexi replied.


    As Mackenzie hung up the phone, Alessandra immediately grew anxious and


    asked, “Mackenzie, what’s wrong? Did something happen to Manny?”


    Mackenzie quickly reassured her, “Mom, everything will be fine. I will protect


    Emmanuel.”


    She was assertive and strong–willed. Alessandra was a bit surprised but felt


    Abellyn. As long as Mackenzie still called her “Mom,” she believed the


    marriage wouldn’t be lost.


    Once I see Manny, I’ll make sure he holds on to Mackenzie. Such a great daughter–inw shouldn’t be


    let go; where else can we find someone like

    “Mom, you have to tell me something today. Where exactly did Emmanuel


    serve in the military? Did he have any rank?” Mackenzie suddenly asked


    seriously.


    At first, she thought Emmanuel was just an ordinary retired soldier. However,


    after more than two months of being together, she realized that this man’s


    skills were incredibly powerful, and his medical expertise was extraordinary.


    He was definitely not an ordinary person.


    Being taken away by a mysterious force now also proved that he must have


    had a background she didn’t know about. That seemingly naive man had


    hidden his true background quite well!


    “Well, he went to the Northern Region back then and rarely contacted us


    during those years. His father passed away, and he couldn’t even make it


    back due to circumstances. So, I’m not really sure about the specifics,”


    Alessandra replied, thinking as she spoke.


    “He didn’t tell you he held any military position?” Mackenzie asked again.


    “No, Manny never mentioned it.” Alessandra shook her head.


    “Then when he retired, did he receive any pension or benefits?” Mackenzie


    continued her questioning.


    Alessandra shook her head sadly. “None at all! My son isn’t ambitious in that


    regard. Other soldiers who came back received quite a lot of benefits, but he


    didn’t get anything.”


    “He received nothing at all?!” Thispletely surprised Mackenzie. Could it be


    that she had been wrong all along? Was Emmanuel not anyone important?


    “That’s right! He didn’t receive anything. I heard he was dishonorably


    discharged from the military due tomitting a mistake and came back


    empty–handed. That’s why he couldn’t find a woman and failed on 18 blind


    dates!” Alessandra said, feeling a bit uneasy.


    She quickly held Mackenzie’s hand and smiled wryly. “Mackenzie, my Manny


    may not be ambitious, but he has a good heart and is very honest and


    sincere to people.”


    Mackenzie’s lips curved slightly as she reassured her, “Mom, I understand.


    Well then, I’ll go now and find that idiot Emmanuel.”


    “Okay then!” Alessandra reluctantly let go of Mackenzie’s hand. She didn’t


    want to hold her back.


    After leaving the Lowe Residence, Mackenzie drove while deep in thought. If


    she wanted to uncover Emmanuel’s true identity, it seemed she would have


    to start with Eve.


    Regardless of whether Emmanuel was someone important or not, he had


    saved her life twice, so she had to cherish him.


    Hmph, I hate owing favors to people the most. You idiot, hurry up ande


    back to me!


    Mackenzie realized she really missed that man. Besides, thinking about him


    and udette made her heart ache. She was filled with a profound sense of
