Chapter 1789
“Feeling better now?” Ariana asked, her cheeks flushed as she wiped a trace of moisture from Holden’s Lips.
Holden caught her hand, his gaze intense with barely contained desire.
“I’d feel even better if you kissed me a little longer,” he said.
Before Ariana could respond, Holden captured her lips again, his hands roaming her body until she grew weak in his arms.
After a while, he finally released her.

Seeing Ariana’s flushed face and improved spirits, Holden felt his own mood Lighten considerably.
Ariana, on the other hand, felt a twinge of regret.
She thought she shouldn’t have tried to comfort Holden with a kiss; he had taken full advantage of the situation.
“You’re still recovering,” Holden said, his tone shifting to one of concern.
“You need to rest and keep your wound dry.
”
He launched into a list of precautions before adding, “As for the scar, don’t worry.

With today’s advanced medical technology, I’ll find the best experts to minimize it.
”
Ariana appeared to be listening, but her mind had already drifted away.
She interrupted Holden’s words with a question that had been nagging at her.
“It has been so long.
Have you heard any news about Melon?”
Holden fell silent for a moment.
He shook his head, his voice tinged with frustration.
“We’ve combed through every building around Mercy Hospital.
Still no sign of Melon.
”
Ariana’s lips tightened.
She was not surprised by this.
Moss had orchestrated Melon’s kidnapping, after all.
If he could slip past the hospital’s tight security, concealing the boy would not be hard for him.
Ariana was actually more scared of another thing.
Moss was unpredictable, while Melon was painfully honest.
Ariana feared the child’s innocence might provoke Moss into inflicting the same torment she had endured in the metal house.
The memory of that searing agony made her shudder.
If she, an adult, could barely withstand it, how could a child like Melon bear it?
The thought made Ariana shudder.
Her hands trembled as she clung to Holden.
“You are a patient now.
What you need to do is rest instead of overthinking things.
” Holden looked at Ariana as he squeezed her hand reassuringly.
“I’ll deploy more search teams.
Something tells me Moss won’t harm Melon.
”
Ariana pondered for a moment and then sighed.
“I hope you’re right.

Just then, their conversation was interrupted by Holden’s phone.
An unknown number flashed on the screen.
Puzzled, Holden answered.
A young man’s voice rang out, “Daddy!”
Holden was stunned.
Why would someone this age call him “Daddy”?
