“Don’t just stand there, go!” Baron Stuart was furious, thinking that woman might have been buried in the wilderness or taken by someone—

His heart was filled with inexpressible irritation and unease. He couldn’t wait to turn the entire E City upside down to find out where that woman was.

Just as Clayton Howard was about to turn and leave, Baron Stuart suddenly called out to him, “Wait a minute!”

Clayton Howard turned back and responded, “Young Master.”

“She’s probably not at the inn. Pay attention to any suspicious vehicles on nearby roads.”

Previously, he seemed to have heard the sound of a sudden brake on the phone, which suggested that the criminals might not have reached their destination when the woman became aware of their presence.

Moreover, judging from the situation, that woman should have taken the opportunity to get off the car.

One hour later

Emily Walker finally woke up from her shock, sitting up in a panic. Her first instinct was to reach out and touch her side, feeling her smooth skin unharmed. She then raised her head, trying to figure out where she was.

Her kidney was still there, but what place was this?

An hour ago, she had run for a long time, dragging her battered body, but was eventually caught by Driver Uncle. She tried to struggle, but he covered her mouth with a white handkerchief, and she lost consciousness, remembering nothing afterward.

Looking around this unfamiliar and somewhat luxurious room, Emily Walker was both frightened and panicked. She was afraid that she had fallen into the hands of the thieves, and those people would probably be waiting for her to wake up so they could take her kidney!

Feeling terrified and uneasy, she quickly got off the bed and ran towards the front door, not even taking the time to put on her shoes. As she reached out to turn the doorknob and open the door, it was unexpectedly opened from outside.

Due to her extreme fear, Emily Walker screamed, startling Baron Stuart, who was just entering.

“Have you gone mad!?” Although her scream annoyed him, seeing her terrified expression filled Baron Stuart’s heart with an unbearable ache…

However, this ache seemed to be something he didn’t want to admit, quickly concealed by his displeased expression, which was unnoticed by the outsiders.

This familiar voice made Emily Walker, who had lowered her head due to nervousness, suddenly stop. She slowly raised her head and looked at the man in front of her.

Although this man in front of her was too handsome for her liking, seeing him inexplicably eased her fear.

What was going on? Wasn’t she taken away by the Driver Uncle? Then why was the young Lord here?

“You… how did you… ah—” Emily Walker didn’t have the time to ask about her doubts before realizing that her legs were off the ground, and she was swept into a pair of strong and powerful arms.

“What, what are you doing!?” Suddenly being lifted and pressed so closely against him, she couldn’t help but feel tense, not knowing what this man wanted to do.

Baron Stuart remained silent, holding her firmly while walking towards the bed, his face showing the usual coldness and impatience.

He arrived beside the bed, gently set her down, and moved a white carved wooden chair nearby. He then sat down on the edge of the bed and gently lifted Emily Walker’s legs, setting them on his lap..
