Ward.
When Beatrice woke up, Caden had already left..
After regaining her strength, she got up and drank some water, just in time to see a figure moving at the door.
“Who?” she shouted.
The door was pushed open a crack, and Julio’s head poked in.
“Aunt.”
“Don’t make a fuss.” The eldest sister pushed Julio aside and walked in, opening the door. “Miss, thank you
you so
so much this time. I will prepare some food, please don’t mind.”
“How could I? Thank you, I happen to be hungry,” Beatrice replied with a smile, unable to refuse.
The eldest sister opened the thermos, poured a bowl of millet porridge, and handed over two pieces of cake.
She carefully put the remaining food back.
Beatrice hesitated and said, “Elder sister, are these for
for you
you…
“Julio’s father is still in the intensive care unit. He can only eat a little bit at a time,” said the older sister with red eyes.
Beatrice thought for a moment and asked, “Is Julio being thrown into the river related to his father?”
Perhaps being touched by the words, the eldest sister’s tears started to flow “They were no good! They did something wrong themselves and forced us to sign.
“Sister, who are you talking about?”
“It’s just… the eldest sister bit her lip, “Forget it, there’s no point in me saying it. Miss, thank you so much this time. We’ll leave now.”
The older sister led Julio away, but unexpectedly Julio turned his head and stuffed the small bamboo basket around his waist into Beatrice’s hands.
“Auntie, I protected you.”
Beatrice looked at the small bamboo basket the size of a palm and smiled, “Thank you.” After the mother and son left, Beatrice remained restless, always feeling like she had missed something.
After lying down, as soon as she closed her eyes, the two men who threw Julio into the river appeared.
She was in such a hurry at that time, she just glanced quickly, but now thinking back, it seems like she had seen those two people before.
Suddenly, Beatrice opened her eyes wide and sat up abruptly from the bed. It was the person who was following her at the night market!
Not only that, she had also seen one of them in a certain place.

In the hotel restaurant this morning, Caden was followed by two middle–aged men, one of whom was their bodyguard.
Caden came this time to deal with the matter at the mining site, so aren’t these two middle–aged
men…
Xander’s cousin.

her coat, and left the ward.
To verify her idea, Beatrice got up, put
After asking the nurse, she found the intensive care unit and before she could knock on the door, she heard an argument coming from the adjacent hallway.
A man who looked like a lawyer stood in front of the eldest sister.
“You refused to drink the toast and instead drank as a punishment. Do you know who you have offended? Hurry up and sign the document.”
“You said before that you would cure my husband, but now you’re only offering fifty thousand, which is not enough for a week’s worth of treatment. I won’t sign,” the eldest sister choked out. “Not signing? It seems like you don’t want your son.”
“You…” The eldest sister’s pale face was trembling with fear.
Beatrice frowned and was about to step forward when suddenly someone covered her mouth and nose from behind, dragging her towards the staircase.
She looked at the empty corridor, and it was unlikely that she could call for help. In a panic, she felt the small bamboo basket in her pocket, and to her surprise, there were three insects inside.
She also didn’t know exactly what insect it was.
She only knew that she was still saved, so she grabbed an insect and thrust it into the eyes of the man behind her.
“Ah!”
The man exclaimed and let go of Beatrice,
Beatrice ran down the stairs without looking back.
The intensive care building had only two floors, and running down would lead to the lobby, where her chances of seeking help were greater.
Beatrice thought she had escaped a disaster, little did she know that someone was still waiting to plot against her.
A figure dashed out from the corridor, grabbed her, and injected a needle into her arm. Beatrice clearly felt her body go limp, and when she closed her eyes, she only saw at
eyes, she only saw a pitch–black
helmet.
The man looked at Beatrice on the ground, picked up the syringe, and chuckled softly, “It’s not just me who wants to kill you. Goodbye, Beatrice.”
Caden returned to the hospital carrying food, looked at the empty and lifeless ward, and turned around to punch the bodyguard down..
“Is this your protection?”

“Sorry, Mr. Caden, I just went to the restroom,” the bodyguard said fearfully.
“Who came?”
“The mother and child that Ms. Lindsey saved. I just asked the nurses, and they said they saw Ms. Lindsey going downstairs to find them…”
Before the words were finished, Caden had already disappeared.
Downstairs, the mother and son were leaving, holding hands, and were startled when they saw. the approaching aggressive man.
“Where is Beatrice?” Caden asked straight to the point.
“Wasn’t she resting upstairs?” the eldest sister stammered.
At this moment, Julio shook off his older sister’s hand and crouched on the ground to catch an
insect.
“Mom, why is Nile here? Wasn’t I supposed to give her to Auntie for protection?”
Upon hearing this, Caden followed the trail left by the insects and turned into the stairwell, finally finding a small bamboo basket on the ground at the corner of the first floor.
Julio pointed and said, “I gave it to Aunt!”
Caden held a small bamboo basket and glanced at Keith.
Keith quickly led the people to look around, and finally found used syringes in the trash can outside the building.
“Mr. Caden, it was a sedative. However, according to the surveillance footage, it seems that Ms. Lindsey was taken away…”
Keith handed over the tablet and pointed to a suspicious janitor pushing a cart in the surveillance, With a strong physique and sturdy lower body, it is simply impossible to be a janitor
Having scanned this face, Caden already knew it in his heart.
His face darkened, and he lowered his gaze to the needle tube, saying, “Find him for me too.
Keith nodded, “Yes.”
Wow-
Beatrice was awakened by a large bucket of cold water being poured on her. She coughed twice and felt her breath almost freezing as she exhaled.
After waking up, she raised her eyes and saw the person in front of her clearly.
Sure enough, they were the two middle–aged men who followed Caden into the restaurant in the morning.
“Both of you should be the elders of the Baldwin family, right?”
When Beatrice asked the question, her fist clenched tightly, as she struggled to make her voice sound calmer.
Uncle Liu sneered, ‘Oh, you recognize me, but it’s a pity, even if you tried to establish connections now, it would be useless.”
She was lifted up by someone and taken towards the darkness of the night. After seeing the

surroundings clearly, fear slowly crept into her heart.
This is… a mine.
The surroundings were silent, the mine shafts were cordoned off, and the pitch–black darkness seemed to be waiting like an abyss ready to devour everything.
Beatrice knew very well that if she didn’t do something soon, she would surely have no place to be buried.
She looked at her talkative uncle, deliberately appearing very scared and helpless. Two of you, there was no grudge or enmity between us, why did you treat me like this? Please, I beg you, let me go, okay?”
Uncle Liu listened to Beatrice’s trembling tone and became somewhat interested. He sneered, “We have no grievances, it’s only because you insist on having something that doesn’t belong to

Beatrice didn’t understand the deeper meaning of the first sentence, but she immediately thought of the scene where Julio was thrown into the water, and retorted, The Melendez family has already fallen, the matter of the mine won’t be hidden for long. If something happens to me here, you won’t be able to explain it either.”
Upon hearing the news, Uncle Liu burst into laughter.
“Why are you so naive?”
