NOVPUBChapter 1234: 554 Second Night_1 Chapter 1234: 554 Second Night_1 Forty-eight hours later, Anton Cook’s vital signs were all normal, even without the common post-operative symptoms.
His indicators were normal and he was officially transferred to a general ward.
But he never woke up.
Aubree Groove spent each day moving between two points, during the day with Madam Aria, and at night in the hospital as a caregiver.
Another three days passed, but Anton Cook still showed no signs of waking up.
Other than the indication of his life from the heart monitor equipment, he was quiet, like a corpse.
After a series of thorough examinations, no issues were found whatsoever.
...
Peter Aria’s expression looked slightly fatigued, with severe dark circles under his eyes, “We have done everything we can.
Whether or not he wakes up depends on his own fortune.”
As the days went by, spring arrived.
The willow branches sprouted, they took off their thick winter coats and wore lightweight spring clothes, but Anton Cook still hadn’t woken up.
Louie Capris walked to the door of his office and saw Peter Aria holding a silver lock in a daze; he knocked and walked in.
“Peter, I heard from the dean that you have applied to go to Pethkids Hospital for a half-month exchange?”
Peter Aria put away the silver lock and calmly said, “In terms of clinical research, Pethkids Hospital has always been at the forefront nationwide.
I have recently returned to the country and am not very familiar with the domestic environment.
I spent some time at Pethkids Hospital before and thought it was fine.”
“You are a man of ambition, I won’t stop you.
When are you leaving?”
“Tomorrow morning.
Aubree has to go back to Lostswa for school.
If possible, I intend to help her transfer.”
So this was the main goal.
Louie Capris rubbed his nose, thinking about the appraisal report, “Peter, do you have other siblings scattered around?”
Peter Aria frowned at him: “What do you mean?”
Louie Capris hurriedly waved his hand, “I don’t mean anything else; it’s just that the identification you asked me to do a few days ago…..”
At this time, Peter Aria’s cell phone rang.
Peter Aria apologized and cut off Louie Capris’s words.
“I have to take this call.”
After he finished speaking, he took the phone and walked aside.
Peter Aria’s expression became even more uneasy as he listened to the person on the other end of the phone.
He picked up his overcoat hanging on the rack, took the car keys, and hurriedly said to Louie Capris, “We’ll talk later,” and then hurriedly left without looking back.
Louie Capris rushed out, but Peter Aria was nowhere to be seen.
“Okay, maybe it’s just me overthinking,” Louie Capris smiled helplessly.
Genetics is not an exact science; what if there’s a mutation?
That night, a group of unexpected guests came to The Frosts’ Villa.
The intruders were violent.
After a fierce gunfight, Virginia Frost was taken away, then a dramatic car chase took place.
The opponent’s car was forced to run out of road, crashing through the barriers and into the city moat.
After searching all night, the rescue team salvaged the vehicle, but the person was gone.
Without a body or a trace, Virginia Frost had completely disappeared.
After hearing about this, Mr.
Lewis was furious.
He called Night Hawk and gave him a harsh talking to, ordering him to find Virginia Frost within a week.
Dixon Chambers took out a packet of wet blood from his body, tsked, and said, “Bro, with your acting skills you’re really wasting your talent if you’re not an actor.”
This performance tonight was truly thrilling.
Virginia Frost would never have guessed that this was a diversionary plot specially crafted for her by Night Hawk.
After finally catching someone, they let them go again; what kind of operation was this?
Dixon Chambers didn’t know but within the WT Organization, obedience was paramount.
A high-end black Volkswagen sedan stopped at the villa’s entrance, and a man stepped out and quickly walked into the villa.
“Mr.
Aria?” Dixon Chambers grinned, showing his bloody teeth.
It was pretty gross.
“Please follow me, our boss is waiting for you.”
After the man went inside, Dixon Chambers circled the sedan: “Mr.
Aria is pretty down-to-earth, driving such a common car.”
A subordinate cleaning a gun replied: “The Arias are the epitome of modesty, not engaging in the excessive luxury of the wealthy class.
If you look at Mr.
Aria, except for his watch, he doesn’t have any other extravagant items.
Truly confident people don’t care about these material items.”
Dixon Chambers gave a thumbs up: “Well said.”
“Mr.
Aria, I’ve been waiting for you for a long time.” Night Hawk pointed across the table, “Take a seat.”
A criminal who opposed each of them had just escaped, but the two men still managed to sit peacefully at the table, drinking tea.
Peter Aria sat down across from him, “You don’t think arousing suspicion, do you?”
Night Hawk curled her lips.
“This is her only chance, even if it’s a trap, she would jump down.”
“Why are you helping me?
Or to put it in another way, what do you want in return?” asked Peter Aria, his gaze deeply fixed onto the man before him.
Night Hawk took a sip of tea.
His eyes, clouded by the rising tea mist, seemed somewhat unfocused.
“Because of Aurora Brun.”
Peter Aria’s head snapped up.
“Callista…”
A wave of melancholy passed through Peter Aria’s eyes.
Raising his eyebrows, Night Hawk replied, “In fact, there really is something here that I need Mr.
Aria’s help with.”
“Tell me what it is, as long as I can help.”
“No hurry.
The most important thing now is to find your wife and child.
We can discuss other matters afterwards.”
Ears pricked, Peter Aria asked, “So, sir, do you have a plan?”
Night Hawk spread out a map and pointed to Whitehead Mountain.
Peter Aria scrunched his eyebrows, “Isn’t this the Whitehead Mountain where Aubree Groove grew up?”
Night Hawk pointed again to two peaks next to Whitehead Mountain.
“Virginia Frost will surely come here.”
Peter Aria took a closer look.
“Breeze Mountain, Skyla Mountain.”
She raised her head sharply.
“A crafty rabbit has three burrows.”
A frosty gleam was in Night Hawk’s eyes, giving off an intense cold.
“No matter what tricks she plays, I’m all in.”
——
Her clothes were soaked through.
The chilling night wind made her shiver to the bone.
Underneath the arch of the bridge, a streak of firelight flickered uncertainly, like a star in the pitch-black sky.
Virginia Frost squinted at the figure before her, “You’re one of Night Hawk’s men?”
The person was shrouded in shadows with the flickering firelight falling haphazardly onto her, casting ghost-like shadows on the wall, adding an uncanny and mysterious aura.
“What makes you think so?”
“No one could have snatched someone from the hands of Night Hawk.
Tonight was a set-up by him.
But it doesn’t matter, if you escort me to Pethkids, I won’t let you down.”
The person scoffed.
“Madam, you’re being over-smart.
To save people, I don’t need Night Hawk’s permission.”
Hearing this voice, Virginia Frost squinted her eyes, her gaze like a sharp dagger piercing into the figure opposite, “It’s you.”
“It’s hard for me to believe that madam still remembers me.” The figure stepped out of the shadows, revealing a tall and fit body.
She removed her mask, revealing an exquisitely beautiful face that contrasted sharply with the shabby bridge at this late hour.
Her eyebrows and eyes conveyed wildness and charm.
Virginia Frost sneered, “Are you here to avenge Aurora Brun?”
“Madam, you are overthinking it.
Once you’re dead, there’s no way Aurora Brun can come back to life.”
Virginia Frost swiftly glanced up.
“You…”
The woman sneered, “That heartless Night Hawk man is so determined to take over the WT Organization that he’s willing to put madam in a fatal position.
Aurora Brun and I are like sisters.
I’d do everything in my power to bring her back to life.
If madam could help me, we can forget about all past grudges.”
Virginia Frost stared at her.
“You really believe you can bring Aurora Brun back to life?”
“Even if there’s only a 0.1% possibility, I’m willing to give it a try.” The woman’s determined gaze was loud and clear.
Virginia Frost’s lips curved into a secretive smile.
“You’re lucky you met me.”
The woman raised an eyebrow, “Madam’s infatuation with her husband moves people.
But I am curious, if Mr.
Drake becomes a wandering spirit, will it not matter to madam?
The best love for a person isn’t it hoping for a better life in their next birth, without any worries or issues?”
Virginia Frost sneered, “What would you know?
I’ve spent years worrying over him.
I believe he’s also waiting for me.
One day, we will meet again.”
“Let’s do as madam wishes.”
The woman checked the time, “Those people should not be able to search this far.
We should head to Happiness Harbor now and take a boat to Pethkids.”
Virginia Frost frowned, “Is there no other way?”
The woman said sarcastically, “Planes, cars, and trains, which one can madam dare to take?
Nowadays madam is no longer the respectable Madam Frost, your warrants are all over the town.
A cargo ship might take a little more time, but it can reach Pethkids smoothly.
This is the only way to leave Lostswa today.”
Resigned, Virginia Frost said, “Let’s go.”
She had a serious case of seasickness, she even wondered if this was intentional.
