Chapter 1304 - 592: I Am Not That Fragile

He was helpless. He really didn't want Hazel to keep running everywhere with him.

But... he was convinced.

Indeed, wasn't it the safest for her to be with him? With Hazel around, at least he didn't have to worry about her. Even if they did encounter any situation, he could protect her in time.

It was just...

Joshua's eyes fell on her slightly prominent belly with a flash of worry.

"Is that okay for you?" he asked in a low voice.

"I am pregnant, but I am not disabled! Even pregnant women also need to exercise, okay?" she said crossly. "I'm not that fragile, okay?! Besides, when this is all over, you must read some books on pregnancy!"

There was a flash of helplessness in his face, and he gave her a little angry tap on the forehead. "Don't speak like that. Why do you curse yourself?"

"Isn't it because you pissed me off..." She murmured, feeling wounded.

He rubbed her hair helplessly. Then, the next moment, he took her hand directly, "Let's go."

"Mmm," she said loudly and hurried to keep up with him.

As Simon's car rushed out, Joshua had arranged for someone to follow him.

But it didn't take long for Simon and the man with the scar to get rid of Joshua's men. However, Joshua had installed a GPS tracker in the car in advance. Unfortunately, when his men approached the car, they found that it was parked in a corner, and the man with the scar and Simon had disappeared. The latter had obviously gotten into another car.

At this point, all the clues were broken, and Simon was completely missing. They had to search for the places where Ian Flores might be hiding, but it was like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Ted seemed to know what was going on here. He called several times, but without hesitation, Joshua hung up. Joshua did not like his father at all.

Had it not been for Ted's self-righteousness, it would have been easier for them to catch Ian Flores, and they wouldn't have lost Simon.

"Haven't you found him yet?" Hazel asked.

"No," said Joshua with a grave expression.

Both of them looked pale.

If Ian wanted something, he would call them and make an offer. If so, they could at least be sure Simon was safe. But… Ian didn't contact them at all, which meant he wanted Simon dead!

The longer they waited, the more dangerous Simon would be!

"By the way," she said, frowning, "I suddenly think of something. When the man with the scar came, he gave Simon a pocket watch. Simon said the pocket watch was given to the nurse who looked after Ian Flores's sister, who was in the hospital. Do you think Ian Flores's hiding place has anything to do with this nurse?"

Joshua's eyelids twitched. It was quite possible.

He didn't know when Ian began to suspect it, but when he did, Ian would certainly look for the truth. The nurse must know something.

If Ian could find the pocket watch, he could naturally find the nurse. If his investigation had started with the nurse, Ian might have found out something.

"I'll have it looked into…" Before he could finish the sentence, his phone rang. He hung up without looking.

"Is it still his call?" she asked with a sigh. But, of course, she meant Ted.

"Yes." His mouth tightened into a thin line. At the mention of Ted, his heart was filled with uncontrollable anger.

"Perhaps he knows something?" she said, "Why don't you just call and ask him?"

He frowned unhappily, but he wouldn't miss any chance to save Simon's life.

"Good." He nodded and called Ted.

Ted was very surprised. When he answered the phone, Ted asked with concern instantly, "Joshua, Simon..."

"You'd better pray we will find him soon," Joshua interrupted impatiently. "Now, tell me everything that you know."

Joshua's attitude had never been worse. He had no respect for Ted, his father. Ted's heart was bitter somehow, but he also knew that it was not the time for him to care about these things.

He told Joshua some places where Ian Flores perhaps was. After hearing that Ian Flores might have found the nurse, Ted told Joshua about the hospital where the nurse was now.

"Go to the hospital." After analyzing several possible locations, Joshua did not hesitate and took a few subordinates to head for the hospital where the nurse was.

It all started at the hospital. Ian's sister died in the hospital where Simon was born. Hence, the only place Ian Flores was most likely to go was only a hospital.

It was just that Ian's sister was abroad during pregnancy under the protection of the Flores family. Now almost the whole Flores family had been cleaned up by Simon. Even if Ian had caught Simon, it would be too difficult for Ian to take him abroad. Hence, for Ian, as long as he could get together with the people that year and put an end to the incident in other hospitals, then he could also make do with it.

Lots of cars roared all the way to the hospital.

Joshua's guess was correct. However, Ian Flores did bring Simon to the hospital.

In an empty, deserted ward of the hospital, Simon was hung by a chain. His whole body was covered with whipping wounds. The wounds were so deep that the blood had already stained his clothes.

The mask on his face was long gone, and his fragile face was now covered with cuts.

But even though he was badly hurt, Simon kept laughing as if the injured person wasn't him at all. "Uncle, haven't you had enough of kidding?"

"I said I wasn't your uncle!" Ian flew into a rage. He raised Simon's chin angrily and squeezed his face hard. "Simon King, you little bastard, why do you have such a face? Why?!"

Simon's face was so similar to Stacy Sloane's.

But because Simon had been wearing a mask, even as his uncle, Ian Flores, didn't pay much attention to Simon's appearance. He only vaguely remembered Simon looked more like Ted.

Until he caught Stacy Sloane.

Ian Flores's memories all came out. However, it was until then did he find that his sister's son didn't look anything like anyone of the Flores family but looked more like Stacy!

How was that possible?

Ian had doubted it, but he thought it was too absurd!
