The Unknown Danger

In the end, Regan still told Hazel the truth about Kayden. As soon as she heard it, Hazel was shocked. Kayden was... "Please believe me, Hazel. Although I hated Kayden's guts and did try to kill him that time, I didn't take an action," Regan said firmly as he looked into Hazel's eyes. Hazel felt bitter in her heart. In the end, Kayden couldn't escape from his fate. Even though she already knew the ending, she sincerely hoped that Kayden would live well somewhere in the world. However, Kayden still passed away. Hazel believed that once a person left the world, all the things he had before his death would be taken away too. No matter what he had done in the past, there was nothing to bother anymore. At this moment, Hazel couldn't help but grab Regan's wrist tightly. She didn't want him to leave. Lives were fragile. She couldn't imagine what would become of her if Regan suddenly left her. She had already experienced it once when she was pregnant with the twins. After losing him for five years, she didn't want to lose him again. Nothing could ease the loneliness and pain that tormented her every day. As she thought, Hazel leaned her head on Regan's chest. In the end, she was just a mortal. She couldn't hold back her own desire. "I believe in you. If you truly did it, you wouldn't shirk from the fact, nor would you deny it," Hazel said. "But Regan... I just want you to be safe. We still have a long future ahead. We'll turn old together and watch our children grow into fine adults. I don't want anything bad to happen to you." She hugged Regan's arms tightly, refusing to let go. Perhaps, she had been so happy with her current life that she was afraid that it would be destroyed. Upon hearing Hazel's words, Regan kissed her hair and forehead. "Okay, I promise you." The two of them hugged each other in silence as they felt the other's breath and existence. After a long while, Hazel said, "It's late now. Valeria must be sleeping right now. I don't want to disturb him. Let's ask the doctor to examine him carefully tomorrow, okay?" "Okay. Let's accompany him tomorrow," Regan agreed. However, Hazel couldn't fall asleep that night. On one hand, she was worried about Valeria's physical health; on the other, she was concerned about Wilson and the others and didn't know whether they had suffered. Even if Regan kept coaxing her to sleep, she was still wide awake. At this moment, she was so anxious like a cat on hot bricks. Fortunately, Regan had always treated her like a precious baby. Hence, when she smelled the unique fragrance on his body, she felt at ease despite her anxiety. Early in the next morning, Hazel and Regan quickly dashed towards Valeria's room. Valeria was already dressed and sitting on the sofa in a daze. Seeing that child looked like a mini sculpture, Hazel felt sweet and distressed in her heart. Valeria was truly adorable. She asked the child softly, "Are you feeling uncomfortable, Valeria? Does your body hurt? Or, have you felt something strange for a split second?" She didn't dare to tell Valeria the truth but patiently tried to probe some information from the child. She didn't think that such a thing could happen. Ever since Valeria returned, he had undergone various examinations. If something really happened to his body, or if he was implanted with a tiny device, they would definitely find out. However, Miles sounded so sure that Hazel couldn't help but be alert. Still, Valeria just looked at Hazel wordlessly. "Valeria, this is very important. If you really feel uncomfortable, you must tell Mommy and Daddy quickly. We're really worried about you..." Holding back her tears, Hazel gently pulled the child into her embrace. She was very worried about Valeria. Upon seeing this, Regan felt a stab of pain in his heart. He would never let Miles off the hook. Later, both Hazel and Regan took Valeria to the laboratory for a full check-up. As she was worried that Valeria would feel afraid, Hazel accompanied the child during the entire process. Regan went to meet the butler alone. With a sharp and stern gaze, he demanded, "Tell me, what had Miles done to Valeria?! Did he implant something into Valeria's body? Was it a virus? Poison? Or an invisible device?" However, the butler shook his head and explained, "My apologies, but I really don't know. I've been accompanying Mr. Valeria since he was little. Mr. Miles rarely comes to visit him. As far as I know, Mr. Miles did nothing harmful to him. But some time ago, he still went on with his plan and abducted Mr. Valeria. That's how I was separated from him. I don't know what had happened to Mr. Valeria during that period. However, if you wish to learn about his routines before the abduction, I can provide you a detailed record of his daily life. I've noted down everything that happened recently. Please believe in me; I really hope to show you the notebook." Regan nodded. Although he was still wary of the butler, he wouldn't miss the chance to obtain any clues regarding Valeria's condition. Once the butler gave the notebook to Regan, he locked himself in his room. He knew his own limits. He never took the initiative to go out, nor would he stir trouble for the Morris family. After receiving the notebook, Regan headed to the laboratory. As he expected, even though the doctors had scanned Valeria's body with the finest machine, they couldn't find anything wrong. The professor frowned and reported, "According to the examination, there's no problem with Mr. Valeria's body. If anything, he's a bit weak." However, such news didn't make Regan feel relief at all. He knew that the unseen and intangible danger was the most threatening. If he was Miles, what would he do?
