Bella showed a sweet smile, but she keenly noticed that Aunt Mila's complexion was off.

"Aunt Mila, are you feeling unwell?" Bella stepped into the room and asked softly.

Mila wiped her cold cheeks and gave a bitter smile. "Since Wyatt was ill, I've been losing sleep every night, so my complexion must look poor."

Bella was sharp and observant. Just now, she had actually eavesdropped on Mila's conversation outside the door.

She vaguely overheard something about following someone and about losing the trail. That was when she realized that something was off, so she stepped closer to eavesdrop.

Bella went over to Mila and asked in a low voice,

“Aunt Mila, you look so worried... Is it because of Hugh?"

Mila's bright eyes widened, her gaze flickering. "Of course, I think of him. That child has suffered so much... I often dream about him..."

Bella's tone suddenly grew serious. "Aunt Mila, tell me the truth. Have you been secretly following Jace?" Mila was stunned. "Bella, how do you know...?"

"I was standing outside earlier and vaguely overheard a bit of your conversation. That was enough for me to guess most of it." Bella held Mila's hand tightly and pressed with concern, "Aunt Mila, have you really been secretly sending people to follow Jace? How did you even find him?!”

Mila pressed her lips tightly together and remained silent.

“Aunt Mila, you must tell me the truth!" Bella's anxious gaze turned sharper than ever. “Leaving aside the fact that we cannot even verify Jace's true identity—let's assume for a moment he really is Hugh. Even then, he had completely lost his memory and now works for our enemy.

"He's a ruthless and extremely dangerous man! You have never done this kind of shadowing before. If he discovers you, you'll be in grave danger! With Wyatt gravely ill, our family can't afford for anyone else to get into trouble!"

As she spoke, Bella's eyes turned red, and she was on the verge of tears.

Ever since Wyatt was hospitalized, especially now with Grant's involvement, Bella had been under immense pressure. A single nerve in her mind had been stretched taut, almost to the point of snapping.

Bella truly could not bear another family member getting into trouble. If that happened, she really would go mad.

At this moment, Bella had no idea that Mila had already discovered the truth, that Jace was in fact her son, Hugh.

Mila forcibly steadied her emotions, took a deep breath, and restrained the glimmer of tears in her eyes. "Bella, I only wish to seek the truth, to find some peace of mind.”

She smiled faintly. "Although you think that he's a demon, every time I see that face, which is identical to Hugh's, I only feel warmth and never fear."

Bella, sharp as ever, instantly caught something. “Aunt Mila, you've seen Jace again? When did this happen?”

Knowing she could not hide it, Mila recounted the time she had unexpectedly encountered Jace on the roadside and saved him.

Bella was utterly stunned.

After a long pause, she steadied her thoughts. “So... You placed a tracker on Jace?”

Mila nodded. "On his silver necklace. I thought if I put it in his clothes pocket, it would either be discovered or lost too easily. The necklace would be safest."

A hint of delight showed on Mila's face. “Fortunately, he still hasn't noticed it.”

Bella threw her head back and heaved a sigh. "Oh, Wyatt! Please just open your eyes and rein in your woman! She's far too bold and reckless!"

She then said, “Aunt Mila, since you've already tracked Hugh, where is he now?"

"Near Ring Mountain. I don't know if that's their base or his home. The signal on the mountain is unstable so the people I sent often lost track. Every time they were close to catching up they couldnt pinpoint his location. It's very frustrating." Mila shook her head helplessly. "So, until now, I still haven't been able to determine his exact location." s

“Alright... Let's leave it at that for now."

Bella paused, then looked at her solemnly. "But please remember, you absolutely must not act rashly again, and you definitely must not go tracking him on your own! That's extremely dangerous. This isn't a game! Even if Wyatt were healthy right now, he might not be able to protect you. Do you understand me?"

Mila pressed her lips until they turned pale, then she reluctantly gave a slight nod.

After Wyatt took Grant's medicine, his brain activity gradually began to stabilize, but he still remained in a

deep coma.

As for when exactly he might wake up, even Dr. Cartman could not give any guarantee.

Just as everyone in the Thompson family was deeply worried about Chairman Thompson's condition, there was major news from the
