Marcus managed to smile, a gesture more for Hazel's benefit than his own; he knew he couldn't change her mind, but the only thing he could do was watch her closely.“Please, be careful.” He said it softly, his voice tinged with concern and fear.Hazel nodded in understanding. “I will. I'm not a child. I will take care of myself.”Marcus knew it would be difficult, but he had to do it. He had to take action to ensure everything go smoothly. He can't just fold his hands and blindly follow Hazel, even though she isn't a child, but it's his responsibility to protect her this time; he can't fail her the second time. Marcus went to take his bath. After taking his bath, he quietly walked out of the house, the cold air outside clearing his mind as he decided to call Tyler. The phone rang a few times before Tyler answered.Tyler was surprised to see the master calling him.“Hello, young master?”Tyler's voice was relaxed, but there was an edge of curiosity for the young master to be calli
It was the next day Marcus left the house early to meet Tyler. When he arrived at the location, he was surprised to see Zachary there. At the same time, he was happy; with Zachary being here, he felt more confident that everything would go smoothly and both of them could go to the ceremony together; nobody would dare come close to Hazel, and she would be fully protected.Tyler smiled as Marcus approached. “I know you must be wondering why Zachary is here.”Marcus nodded. “Yes, I do.”“He's here to assist us with something.”Tyler explained. “Given the urgency of your request, I thought it would be best to have an extra pair of hands.”Marcus felt a surge of gratitude for all they were doing for him. “Thank you, Mr Tyler. And thank you, Zachary. I truly appreciate it.”Zachary nodded.“We're here to help, Young Master. Let's get this done so you can experience the feeling of being the strongest.”Marcus just nodded he couldn't wait for that among.The three of them set to work, ea
Tyler and Zachary quickly ran to Marcus and tried to understand what was going on. Everything happened so quickly that they couldn't even react until the young master collapsed on the floor, the young master had fainted.Tyler immediately dropped to his knees beside Marcus, his heart pounding with worry. He never expected this to happen. “Young Master, are you alright? Please say something, Young Master.”Taylor's hands started shaking as he held Marcus on the floor.Zachary too was on his knees as he didn't know what was happening. The young master suddenly just collapsed after he told them thanks. Although he looked so exhausted, he never thought it would turn out this way.Tyler faces Zachary.“Zachary, I knew it would exhaust him, but not like this.”Zachary, catching his breath, stared at Marcus's unconscious form. He was shocked. “I know, Mr. Tyler, I'm just as shocked as you. But after everything we saw and the sheer amount of energy he released, I guess it didn't surprise me
Tyler stood at the edge of Marcus's bed, his eyes fixed on the young master, as he didn't understand what was going on anymore. It had been two days since the young master had collapsed, and he had been unconscious ever since without moving a finger. Tyler's mind raced with worry and confusion; he would never forgive himself if something bad happened to the young master because of him.He started blaming himself if he had known he wouldn't have fasting the training; he thought the young master was strong enough in the manner in which he was learning, and from what he saw, he wasn't expecting the young master to collapse and remain asleep for so long. The room was filled with the soft beeping of medical monitors, the only sounds breaking the heavy silence that had settled in Tyler's mind.At that moment, the quietness was suddenly disrupted by the sound of the door opening. Zachary entered the room, his face a storm of anger and frustration.Without being told, one would see he was
Tyler asked, his voice tense.“A few, just a few, but it's not strong enough.” Zachary replied. “We've identified a couple of suspicious individuals who were at the ceremony—the families that were bidding for the same contract the young master gave his wife. My men are following up on those leads now, and I'm sure they will come up with something soon. We're also looking into anyone who might have any bad motive to target the Young Master or his wife, and we found out they had a party with their friends not long ago; maybe one of them might have something to do with the young master's wife being kidnapped.” Tayler nodded, feeling a mix of frustration and hope that Zachary had done an impressive job in narrowing all the suspects in these groups of people definitely one of them would know something. “You have done well, Zachary, but don't let your guards down until we find her, for the sake of the young master.” Zachary nodded in agreement without being told he knew what to do; it
Tyler's heart pounded in his chest as he heard Marcus's voice pierce the silence of the room. His eyes and entire body vibrated; he knew he had just heard Marcus's voice. Shock reverberated through him as he turned to face the young master. His expression was filled with relief and excitement; he wasn't expecting to hear the young master's voice today. He immediately walked closer to him.“Young master, you're awake! Thank goodness, is this a dream or what?”Tyler exclaimed, unable to contain the smile that spread across his face as he gazed at the young master, who was still in bed.“I thought you were going to sleep for ages. Everyone has been so worried about you. Thank goodness you're awake now.”Confusion clouded Marcus's features as he struggled to comprehend Tyler's words. He could hear what Tyler was saying, but he couldn't understand what he meant by the words. How can he say they thought he would sleep for ages?With a low voice, he utters.“I only dozed off for a few hou
At that moment, Marcus couldn’t help but agree with what Tyler had just said. He knew what he was trying to do, but at the same time, he had a point. Though the anger simmered inside him was unbearable, he recognized the truth in Tyler's words: he was in no state to drive, not when he knew what had happened to Hazel. The one he did the other time was nothing compared to this, since he was asleep for two days, which means Hazel has been with them for two days.He couldn't help but nod his head. With the look on his face, one would tell he was angry and the same disappointment in himself as conceded to Tyler, and Tyler quickly led the way to where the car was parked without saying a word. He would rather not anger the young master in any way; it's best to remain quiet and do what he planned to do.He had decided to be the young master’s driver from now on until his wife was safe and knew who was behind everything.They arrived where the car was parked, and Marcus slid into the back se
However, Marcus’s face was flushed with anger and disappointment at that moment. He knew Penelope doesn't like him, and she has every right to be mad at him in a situation like this, but not her accusing him wrongly in front of Ivy and wanting her to know about her mother's disappearance; he didn’t want Ivy to hear about that. He covered Ivy's ears even more, trying to shield her from the harsh words and the reality of their situation. He needed to find a way to fix this, to bring Hazel back and make things right for Ivy. He knew the more time he waste, the more dangerous the situation become. He had already wasted two days, and he couldn't waste anymore. At that moment, all he could do was make sure Ivy never heard of this, and he promised himself he would do everything in his power to find Hazel.Marcus decided to snob Penelope.“Ivy, sweetheart”Marcus began, his voice steadying as he tried to calm her.“Mommy will come back soon. She's just taking care of something important;
