Finn arrived at Jay's private ward. Jay lay on the bed, his back all whipped and bloody. He seemed to be on the brink of death.

Finn got down on a knee and said softly, "Mr. Ares."

Jay opened his eyes slowly. When his bleary gaze focused on Finn's face, his lips fluttered excitedly. He was putting in a lot of effort, but no sound came out.

He was too weak.

Finn had to place his ear right next to Jay's lips before he could hear the sounds of his low, faint breaths.

"The Ares family has nothing to do with Angelina's disappearance. Finn, focus on that car and continue tracing its whereabouts. The owner must be someone important."

Finn replied, "Don't worry, Mr. Ares. I'll make sure I find the missus. You just focus on getting better."

Jay's head felt heavy. His thoughts were all fixed on Angelina, and he felt nothing but regret.

He kept thinking, 'If only I wasn't soft-hearted and took Old Master Severe's advice, I wouldn't have given up on Angelina. Similarly, this would not have happened to Angelina.'

A mountain villa stood halfway up Dragon Spring Mountains, which was just south of Imperial Capital. The villa was surrounded by a group of uniformed men, all of who had a gun strapped to their waist. They all had a solemn, stately expression on their faces.

Compared to the solemnity outside, the atmosphere within the villa was light and breezy.

Angeline was shaken to her core the moment she opened her eyes.

There was an extremely handsome man who seemed to be almost 1.9 meters tall. He was dressed casually in a T-shirt and seemed to be a cheerful type of person. However, he was standing by her bedside, staring attentively at her whilst he held an infusion bag.

When he saw that she had woken up, the man began complaining, "You're so weak. You've been unconscious for eight days. I've already given you the most expensive anti-inflammatory medicine in my house."

His voice was like a breeze that traveled through the caves-Clear and cool, it felt like a gentle spring breeze on one's face.

Angeline stared at the man's face, confusion apparent on her face. "Have we met?"

The man's handsome face grew solemn as he said unhappily, "This method of flirting with men is so old-fashioned. I didn't think you were just pretty without any substance." Angeline gave him a disgusted look. "I'm not interested in handsome men."

The man's features were so delicate that they seemed to have been carved into his face. His eyes and brows made him seem like he was smiling, even when he was not. He was devastatingly handsome. However, when compared to Jay, he seemed like a new -born puppy with no aggression whatsoever. There was always a slight drawback in charm when a man did not have any fangs.

Unlike Jay, who although never smiled and had the nickname of 'ice sculpture', he always emanated powerful, stern vibes. He made her feel safe.

However, she had already lost interest in Jay. This man was nothing.

The man stared at Angeline, suspicious of her ' uninterested' attitude. "Are you trying to flirt with me by pretending to be uninterested?"

Angeline did not know what else to say.

She rolled her eyes at him.

"Were you the one who crashed into me?" She was suddenly reminded of what had happened that day.

She had split up with Jay, and a car crashed into her when she ran out of Garden Of A Diary. The driver must have been this handsome man.

The man pouted as he said, "It was you who crashed into my car. You even destroyed the headlights."

Angeline glared suspiciously at the man. "Who got into an accident and wounded someone but didn't report themselves to the authorities? Instead, you even smuggled me into your house. Aren't you afraid tha my family will come looking for you if I died?"

Angeline's expression grew melancholy as she remembered how Jay had sounded when he threw her out.

How could he possibly care about her the way he had before?

The Severe family did not have the means to find her, right?
