But the mother left without turning back. "Mom!!" Monica Usher wanted to catch up but was stopped by two men who then started tearing at her clothes. Small as she was, it was the first time she felt despair, "No! No—help—" Such a nightmare, Monica Usher could hardly imagine, it was an unshakeable part of her memory. For so many years, she had been trying to forget! Yet every time on stormy nights, she could still remember... Ian Shelby completely disinfected Hailey Hale’s wound, applied medication, and bandaged it, "Being cut by rusty iron can easily leave a scar, so this medicine must be applied on time." "Thank you, Dr. Shelby." Hailey looked up to meet his gaze, her emotions were very low, not paying any attention to her infatuation. Meanwhile, Finn Morgan was always beside her, holding her hand. "Thank you, Dr. Shelby." Finn Morgan was also full of gratitude toward him. Ian Shelby’s expression was gentle, "You’re welcome, the arm needs a few days of rest, don’t carry heavy things, we’ve checked, the bone isn’t broken." "I want to go home..." Hailey’s nose tingled with emotion, tears welled up in her eyes, recalling the tens of minutes after she was kidnapped, her body still trembling. Finn Morgan lifted her in his arms, "Alright, I’ll take you home." Ian Shelby noticed the girl’s odd state, "Wait a minute." He hurried to get a bottle of pills, "Take two of these before bed every day, they help with sleep." Hailey reached out to take them, "Thanks." Finn Morgan glanced at Ian Shelby, "We’re leaving first." Carrying Hailey out of the living room, he gently placed her in the Lamborghini, "Old Chapman, please take her home." "Okay, Special Assistant Morgan." Because Mr. Kingston had already contacted the mayor, Old Chapman naturally knew where Miss Hale’s home was. "Finn Morgan, if you all hadn’t arrived in time, I think... I would have been ruined for life, right?" Hailey sat on his lap, and he held her with both arms. At the moment their eyes met, Finn Morgan’s gaze was filled with tenderness, "There’s no ’if’, you are lucky, and so am I." Hailey was deeply touched, feeling an urge to cry. "Was it Melissa?" Hailey Hale pursed her lips, "Was she trying to throw me into the lake to feed the fish? Does she hate me that much?" "I’m sorry..." Finn Morgan held her hand, "I won’t let you suffer for me again, I promise there will be no next time." "Are you truly impossible with her?" "I’ve told her many times, clearly stated it’s impossible, the marriage arrangement is just a joke from the elders, I have never bought a ring to propose to her." Hailey pouted, "But she likes you so much." "I like you a lot." Finn Morgan looked into her eyes and said affectionately, "Hailey, do you know? When I found out you were kidnapped, I was really nervous, every cell in my body was filled with panic, but now... holding your hand, since nothing worse happened, I feel so relieved."
