“Mrs. Nichols Sr…” Hester pleaded.
She couldn’t believe she was being abandoned again. Despite her best efforts to care for Melody, she was still being cast aside like a used rag.
Melody offered her a kind smile. “Don’t worry about it. When Debra and Juan get divorced, I’ll bring you back.”
Hester’s heart sank at the words. Given Juan’s attitude, he would never agree to a divorce. And even if he did, she would not stand a chance of becoming Mrs. Nichols.
Melody turned to Sophie. “Have the driver take Miss Vargas home and thank Mrs. Vargas for sending her daughter to care for me.”
“Will do,” Sophie replied.
As the driver left with Hester, she couldn’t help but comment, “Miss Vargas is so clueless. She kept crying and refusing to leave, dreaming of becoming Mrs. Nichols. If you ask me, Debra is…”
Melody shot Sophie a cold look, silencing her instantly.
“How’s the investigation going on?”
“Miss Miles hasn’t been found yet. We don’t know where Mr. Nichols has hidden her.”
“Shelia is carrying the Nichols family’s offspring. She cannot be left out there. We must bring her back, no matter what.”

Shelia was detained in a grimy prison cell. Her inmates whispered amongst themselves, “Did you hear it? The CEO of Nichols Group got arrested.”

Shefik Bat her lip, the reality of her situation sinking in She had been languishing in this prison for several days, and Juan hadn’t made any move to secure her release. It was no wonderthese prisoners didn’t take her claims seriously
Just then, the sound of intense crying echoed through the cell. A prisoner was sobbing in the corner, clutching a reg in her hand.
Having been around Juan and his luxurious lifestyle, Shelia was no stranger to valuable interno Even from a distance she could tell that the ring was not something an ordinary person could ow

Leaning in closer, Shelia whispered to the crying prisoner, “I’m leaving today You can give me the ring, and I’ll find your family.”
Really?” The prisoner’s eyes lit up with hope. You really want to help me find them?”
Shelia nodded, surprised by how gullible the prisoner was.
The prisoner happily handed the ring to her and said, “I only know my dad’s surname is Blair, and he lives in Seamar City. I was tricked into prostitution on my first day here. Find my dad and tell him that Kate Pena’s daughter is looking for him.”
“Kate Pena? Is she your mother?” Shelia asked, her voice laced with feigned
concern.
The prisoner nodded, her eyes filled with sadness. “My mom has passed away. She sent me to find my dad in Seamar City. Please help me.
Shelia maintained a sincere facade, even as her heart raced with excitement. “Okay, I’ll definitely help you.”
As the night wore on, the hospital corridor was silent and still. Debra was asleep in a chair against the wall. In her dream, she was back on the operating table, crying out in agony.

The frantic voice of a nurse echoed. “Doctor, the patient is in a state of severe hemorrhage. The A–type blood from the blood bank was just urgently taken.”
The familiar smell of disinfectant filled Debra’s nostrils, and the harsh white ceiling lights glared down at her.
