The Culprit

When Benard examined the photo, he was shocked by it. "That's Derelo? This is a picture of a young man. In fact, he looks like a teenager."

"It was taken a few years ago." Doing a quick calculation in her head, Carla added, "Around seven to eight years ago."

"Even then, he's still very young. This means that he's probably in his twenties now." He was astounded. "All this while, I've assumed that Derelo's an old man."

"Me too." She nodded. "Therefore, we've been barking up the wrong tree. Anyway, you should start your investigations anew. I have also sent the picture to Brandy, but you can investigate through other means."

"I'll get to it right away." Benard then hurried away with the photo.

"Ms. Lierger, as for these medical books, I need to refer them to traditional medicine specialists because this is not within my area of expertise." Holding the books, Naya added, "Also, do you mind if I scan these and send them to Dr. Solova so that we can look at them together?"

"At this juncture, such things no longer matter, " Carla replied. "Anyway, get it done quickly."

"All right."

After everyone had left, Carla looked at Zayn despondently. She then walked over to the bedside and pulled the covers up around him. Gently stroking his face, she vowed softly, "I will definitely save you!"

At that moment, her phone vibrated. It was Brad on the line. Holding her phone, she walked out to the balcony and answered the call, "Hi, Brad!"

"Carla, I'm sorry. I hope I'm not bothering you." Brad was gentle and caring as usual.

"It's fine. What's up?" she asked softly.

"You haven't been replying to my messages over the last few days, so I was worried about you. Anyway, I just want to tell you that I'm returning to M Nation tomorrow. I wonder if you have the time to—"

"Brad, I'm sorry. I won't be free these days. I wish you a safe journey back."

"All right." Brad sounded disappointed. "In that case, please keep in touch with me. If you run into any problem, you can look me up anytime."

"Thank you." Just when Carla was about to end the call, she heard a voice in the background. "Ms. Chroma, you can't go in. Ms. Chroma—"

"Brad, I don't want to go back to M Nation. I want to stay here in Aymo City to look for Harry—"

"Lena!" Brad shouted. He then said to Carla in a low voice, "Carla, I've got to go. Sorry."

"Bye." Carla frowned after ending the call.

That was Lena's voice just now. Despite how long it has been, she still pines for Harry. She is undoubtedly devoted to him. Unfortunately, it never ends well for the wicked.

Just as she was about to re-enter the room, she caught a glimpse of the flowerpot on the balcony. It reminded her of how Zayn was struck by a vase at the hotel.

Brad's investigations revealed that a cat had accidentally knocked over the vase, but she remained unconvinced and kept feeling that something was odd about the incident. Unfortunately, she did not have the time to investigate further as Zayn's condition had begun to worsen.

In hindsight, she wondered if someone had done it out of vengeance.

Could Lena have been that person?

As that speculation flashed across her mind, Carla felt her chest tightening.

If someone did it to seek vengeance, I wouldn't let the matter slide easily. If Zayn hadn't been hit by the vase, his condition wouldn't have deteriorated so quickly. Therefore, the person who threw the vase is the real culprit, and I will make whoever did it pay for it!

Holding that thought, Carla went to seek Benard right away. After sharing her speculations with him, she sent him off to reinvestigate the matter.

"All right. I understand. I'll get to it right away." Benard nodded. "As for the photo, I have already made copies of it, so I'm returning the original to you."

"Mmm." Carla received it. "Go now."

With that, Benard left hurriedly. Initially, she intended to return to Zayn's room, but when she stepped out of the study, she suddenly saw Gamma walking out of the bedroom while hugging her doll. "Aunt Carla…"
