Chapter 1154
Blaine absorbed the words, relief washing over him in small waves.
He nodded, his voice steady but heavy. “Thank you, doctor. We’ll take good care of her.”
Once the doctor stepped out, Blaine let out a long breath, then snapped his attention back to business. “How is Isabel holding up? And with Hailey gone, we need eyes on Forest—no more mistakes, no more slips.”
Samuel immediately stepped forward, ready to respond. “Don’t worry, Mr. Castro. Mrs. Wall has been safely escorted back to Wall Manor to recover.
Forest is still in surgery, but the doctors assure us his life isn’t in danger.”
Blaine gave a slow nod, though the crease between his brows deepened.
He began to pace, his expression shadowed with worry. “Contact the police immediately. I want every scrap of surveillance footage from around the village combed through—frame by frame. Leave no stone unturned until we find that wretched woman, Hailey.”
The thought of Hailey roaming free, a ticking time bomb ready to ignite chaos again, gnawed at Blaine’s nerves.
A woman as reckless as Hailey was capable of anything—any extreme. Samuel grasped the urgency and didn’t hesitate. “Yes, Mr. Castro. I’ll get on it right away!”
He turned sharply and hurried out.
Silence fell heavily over the room.
Nathan glanced at his watch, breaking the quiet. “I need to head back to Beversea tonight. The situation with my family is a complete mess—I have to deal with it. If you need anything here, just say the word. I’ll help however I can.”
Blaine looked up, offering a slight nod of acknowledgment.noveldrama
Seeing the gesture, Nathan said no more and quietly exited, eager to leave.
If Noah woke up, who knew how he would deal with him?
Better to retreat to Beversea and stay under the radar.

As for the turmoil in Jazmah, Nathan wanted no part of it.
A soft cough escaped Sadie as she stirred, her eyelids fluttering open with effort.
Blaine and Tina, who had remained stationed nearby, immediately straightened and hurried to her side.
“How are you holding up?” Tina’s voice trembled, her gaze swollen with emotion.
Sadie answered with a faint grin, her expression quietly assuring them she was managing.
She drew a shallow breath, eyes drifting upward. “Any word on Hailey?”
Blaine’s expression darkened, a quiet shake of his head conveying the answer. “I’ve already called in additional support. We’re combing every district. But there’s been a complication—Stan, Mr. Howe’s aide, has been taken too.”
A flicker of shock crossed Sadie’s face.
What? Hailey being taken—sure, that added up. She might’ve been aligned with those people from the start.
But why Stan? He was just Alex’s assistant. What would they gain by snatching him?
