Chapter 1055 Long Time No See
“This door can be opened. You go ahead, I can’t come in!”
At this point, Beatrice surprisingly refused to go inside.
Patrick stepped forward, picked up the key, and opened the door. The stench inside was overwhelming. Melissa had to eat, drink, and take care of her bodily functions in this room, which was nothing more than an empty shack.
When Melissa opened her eyes and saw Patrick’s figure, she was somewhat surprised. She rushed towards him and said, “I finally see you. I finally have the chance to see you again.”
Jane coughed gently and said, “Long time no see.”
It took a lot of courage for Jane to greet Melissa so calmly at this moment, considering that Melissa was the person who wanted to harm her child in the past.
Melissa was astonished by Jane’s arrival. “How come you’re here?”
Only when Beatrice appeared did it disrupt Melissa’s composure.
“Why are you all together?”
“Let’s go, let’s go back home first and discuss everything,” Patrick said calmly. Finding Harrison was the most important thing now.
Beatrice pulled Melissa along and Patrick whispered to Jane, “You take them home first. I’ll go find Harrison. We need to make sure they’re safe at this time.”
Upon hearing this, Jane was the first to object. Harrison had joined a gang, and if Patrick went there easily, they would become targets. Moreover, considering Harrison’s deep resentment towards Patrick, it was unlikely that he would listen to him.
“How about this? You take the two of them home. If there’s a need, I’ll call you. I’ll go find Harrison, and if you need any help, I’ll give you a call. What do you think?” Jane suggested.
It was not easy to find Patrick, and she didn’t want any more danger to befall him. She didn’t want the events of the past to repeat themselves.
Patrick couldn’t resist Jane’s persistence and had to agree.
He first drove Jane to the entrance of the company and then took Beatrice and Melissa home.Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.
Jane arrived at the underground parking lot, where Sarah had been waiting.
“I’m sorry for making you come here again.” Sarah should have been resting at home at this time. Since the two companies merged, she didn’t need to worry so much. Jane’s decision was primarily for Sarah’s sake, considering she was not only a business partner but also a good friend.
“Let’s go, we’ll go together.”
Upon hearing this, a slight smile appeared on Jane’s lips. “This time, I’ll protect you.”
The two of them drove to the address given by Beatrice. It was just an abandoned villa, seemingly nothing special.
Moreover, from the outside, it seemed like no one had lived in this villa for a long time. Could Harrison really be here?
Sarah encouraged Jane, “Relax, if there’s any danger when we go in, we can handle it.”
She had learned martial arts in the past to protect Jane, and today it would finally come in handy.
The two of them stood at the door, knocking incessantly, but there was no movement inside, not even a sound, which made them doubt.
“Are you sure we came to the right address given by Beatrice? Is she also deceiving us?” Jane pondered this question and decided to call Patrick directly.
Patrick had already returned home with the two of them.
“I’ll ask.” Patrick sounded surprised over the phone and started to worry about their safety.
As soon as the call ended, he noticed Beatrice’s evasive gaze.
Patrick silently walked up to her and spoke softly with a gentle tone, “Is the address you gave her real?”
Beatrice hurriedly defended herself, “Of course it’s real. Every time I tried to find him, I went there. It just takes a bit longer because that villa is not an ordinary one.”
After hearing this, Patrick decided to temporarily trust Beatrice and informed Jane about the situation.
The two of them continued to wait in the car for about an hour before they finally saw someone coming out, but he walked out from inside. Jane parked the car directly in front of Harrison.
Harrison was surprised to see Jane. “Who brought you here?”
“Harrison, Mike is sick and needs you to come. He also wants to see you. Can you please go see him?”
If it were any other reason, Harrison would probably refuse without even looking. However, mentioning Mike would undoubtedly make a significant impact.
As expected, Harrison’s expression changed as soon as he heard that. He quickly asked, “What happened? How did he get sick out of the blue?”
Jane briefly explained the cause and effect of the situation to Harrison.
“It’s impossible. I haven’t let anyone touch Pansy’s Old Mansion, and our people here wouldn’t dare to touch that place either.” While Harrison had a certain level of intimidation in this area, no one would dare to disobey his orders, and no one would touch their family either.
The more Jane thought about it, the stranger it became. It wasn’t Beatrice, and it wasn’t Harrison. Then who could it be?
“I’m asking you a question. How is Mike doing? Is he feeling any better now?”
Jane shook her head and continued with the lie, “The doctor said Mike’s body is very weak now, and he could leave us at any time.”
Upon hearing this, Harrison couldn’t hold back anymore. He got into their car and urged Jane, “Drive quickly.”
Jane and Sarah exchanged a glance and drove the car directly to the entrance of Pansy’s Old Mansion.
Standing outside the door, they could hear a clattering sound from inside, indicating that something was happening. The group immediately rushed in and saw Beatrice and Patrick trying to stop Mike, while Melissa knelt in the middle.
She kept her head down and remained silent, looking very pitiful.
Harrison’s appearance interrupted the commotion.
“Dad, how are you feeling?”
Harrison approached and asked.
Mike shook off Harrison’s hand. “You have the nerve to care about my life and death? Didn’t you run away from home? Didn’t you swear never to come back to this house?”
Upon hearing this, Harrison quickly apologized, “Those were all angry words. Can’t I change my mind? Now I’ve come to my senses.”
Mike didn’t say a word. His gaze remained fixed on Melissa, who was kneeling on the ground.
Ever since Melissa threw their two children into the river last time, Mike had held a deep grudge against her. “How many times did I warn you about what happened in the past? I told you to stay out of trouble.”
