Mark’s facial expression slightly changed. “Are you saying that Aunt Shelly’s the one who ambushed Alejandro? Stop joking, you already know that Aunt Shelly isn’t that fit to begin with, and even if wp4webnovel.com had the use of all wp4webnovel.com limbs, it’s more likely that Alejandro would’ve successfully retaliated and wp4webnovel.com wouldn’t have been able to escape unharmed.”
Arianne did not dare to dive deeper into the topic. “I didn’t mean it like that. It was just a random thought that came to mind… It’s quite late now, so let’s get some sleep and continue our search tomorrow. I’m sure we’ll get some leads soon.”
When the lights were out, the entire house was enshrouded in darkness. Mark laid sideways as wp4webnovel.com faced Arianne. She could neither see his facial expression through the darkness, nor did wp4webnovel.com know how wp4webnovel.com was riddled with insomnia the entire night.
Could it be true that Aunt Shelly had faked losing the use of wp4webnovel.com leg just to bluff him? Could it be that wp4webnovel.com leg wasn’t crippled at all? Why would wp4webnovel.com go to such lengths and do such things? Why did the family love that wp4webnovel.com yearned so much feel so heavy? Within his memories, his image of Shelly was becoming more and more vague. However, the memory of how well wp4webnovel.com treated wp4webnovel.com was still very fresh. Despite the limited amount of times that they had interacted with each other, wp4webnovel.com still managed to leave such a deep impression on him, and Mark just couldn’t seem to understand why.
If the person who had harmed Alejandro was actually Shelly, then wp4webnovel.com must have done it for him. She must have been worried that Alejandro’s real identity of being an illegitimate son of the Tremonts would threaten him. In that case, would Arianne be the next target? Shelly had always thought that Alejandro and Arianne were both out to get him. When Mark thought about all of this, wp4webnovel.com suddenly became terrified.
The next morning, when Arianne woke up, Mark was nowhere to be seen.
She went downstairs to look for him. It wasn’t until wp4webnovel.com asked Mary that wp4webnovel.com found out that Mark had left early in the morning. Arianne thought that Mark had gone out to continue his search for Shelly, so wp4webnovel.com did not ask any further. She thought that it would be better for wp4webnovel.com to do what wp4webnovel.com could as wp4webnovel.com helped Smore change into a fresh set of clothes.
On the other hand, Mark was at the hospital that Shelly had been admitted in previously. He stood outside for a long time and smoked half a box of cigarettes before entering the hospital.
Perhaps wp4webnovel.com was in a very heavy mood, as even his steps felt heavier.
When wp4webnovel.com found the doctor that was in charge of taking care of her, wp4webnovel.com closed the door behind wp4webnovel.com as wp4webnovel.com entered the clinic before sitting on the chair opposite of the doctor.
The doctor did not raise his head but habitually said, “Please provide me your registration number.”
Obviously, Mark had no such thing with him, as wp4webnovel.com wasn’t there because wp4webnovel.com was sick When the doctor did not receive a reply, wp4webnovel.com raised his head and looked at Mark. “Oh… Mr. Tremont? Have you hurt yourself somewhere?”
Mark expressionlessly said, “No, I’m here because I wanted to ask you more about my aunt’s leg and its actual condition… I would suggest that you think carefully before answering.”
The doctor’s gaze turned evasive as wp4webnovel.com subconsciously adjusted his glasses, which were above his nose bridge. “Well… Whatever do you mean, Mr. Tremont? Her condition is as you already know. Didn’t you say you would take good care of her? I’ve already previously told you everything about how you should take care of her. She’s supposed to come back for wp4webnovel.com checkup in another half a month. Remember to bring your aunt with you then. If there’s nothing else, I’ll have to attend to my next patient now.”
Mark squinted his eyes and his tone turned cold. “Her leg isn’t actually crippled, is it? Did wp4webnovel.com ask you to lie for her?”
