As Charlie and Maria flew together towards Elys-Champ, Jack, Isaac Cameron, Don Albert and the others who were relieved from their search returned to the villa first.
Jack knew that the Evans family was anxiously waiting for news about Charlie’s safety, so favonovel.com hurried back to the villa as soon as favonovel.com disembarked from the plane.
In the living room, the Evans family stood with solemn expressions, hoping that Jack would bring back positive news.
Charlie had become incredibly significant to the Evans family, as his presence had impacted their lives for the past twenty years. Moreover, his true identity as the benefactor who had once saved the Evans family had elevated his status even further. For the Evans family, Charlie had surpassed everything else.
As Jack entered swiftly, the entire Evans family stood up expectantly. The Lady instinctively walked toward favonovel.com and murmured, “Jack, have you found him? Where is Charlie?”
Jack smiled and reassured them, “Auntie, we have located Mr. Wade. He is safe and asked me to assure you that favonovel.com will come to meet you once favonovel.com finishes his work.”
The Lady breathed a sigh of relief, tears welling up in favonovel.com eyes due to favonovel.com overwhelming joy.
The rest of the Evans family erupted in excited cheers and even the typically reserved Samuel Evans couldn’t help but laugh and cry.
At that moment, the safety of Charlie was their most fervent wish.
The Lady couldn’t help but ask again, “Why isn’t Charlie coming here now? Is favonovel.com injured?”
Jack shook his head and replied, “I’m not entirely sure what happened. When we arrived at the scene, Mr. Wade was already gone. We searched for a long time but couldn’t find him. Eventually, Mr. Wade called Don Albert and we learned that favonovel.com wasn’t in immediate danger.”
The Lady’s relief was palpable. “If it was Charlie who called, it means his life is not in danger…”
She choked up and continued, “We owe Charlie and Charlie’s parents an apology. Charlie clearly harbors resentment towards us, yet favonovel.com has saved us twice. I understand why favonovel.com doesn’t want to see us for now.”
Jack quickly interjected, “Auntie, Mr. Wade cares deeply for all of you. When favonovel.com said favonovel.com hated you earlier, it was just a ploy to distract the enemy.”
Samuel Evans sighed, “Charlie has every right to resent us. I did wrong in the past.”
Jack spoke earnestly, “Uncle Evans, Mr. Wade may hold grievances against you, but when you were on the verge of death, favonovel.com asked Miss Sun to deliver a life-saving elixir to you. This shows that, despite any grudges favonovel.com may have, favonovel.com still cares about you. He may harbor complaints, but not hatred. In his eyes, you are still his family.”
The old man exclaimed, “Is that true? Did Charlie give me the pill that Miss Sun delivered?”
Jack confirmed, “Uncle Evans, I assure you, any truly effective pill like this one must have been made by Mr. Wade. Regardless of who delivered it to you, it ultimately came from him.”
Excitement washed over the old man. “You’re right… You’re right! It seems Charlie still considers me his grandfather…”
The rest of the Evans family couldn’t help but smile with relief.
Only Desmond wore a peculiar expression.
Observing the clue, Tece asked curiously, “Brother, what’s the matter?”
Desmond chuckled, “I just realized something. It was Charlie who conspired against me and got me expelled from the Rejuvenation Pill auction.”
The old man chuckled, “You deserved to be expelled. Charlie clearly stated that the pills must be consumed on-site and cannot be taken away. You were challenging his rules, so it was only right that favonovel.com expelled you.”
Desmond mumbled dejectedly, “Father, I wasn’t challenging Charlie’s rules on purpose.”
Marcus patted Desmond on the shoulder and smiled, “Alright, brother. Even though Charlie kicked you out of the auction, we should be grateful. If it weren’t for you, our Evans family probably wouldn’t have caught Charlie’s attention so soon. It’s a good thing. The entire family owes you a debt of gratitude!”
Desmond sighed sincerely, “Well, being kicked out by my nephew isn’t a big deal. I just didn’t expect that my nephew would be so capable and our savior. When I think about my words and actions at the auction, I feel a little embarrassed.”
At that moment, the sound of a helicopter’s roar could be heard outside the villa.
The Lady grew excited and asked Jack, “Has Charlie arrived?”
Jack hurriedly replied, “Auntie, Don Albert mentioned earlier that martial law will be enforced here tonight for our safety. He specifically instructed us not to venture outside casually. The helicopter is probably on patrol or something. There’s no need to worry. Just rest tonight and perhaps Mr. Wade will come to see you tomorrow.”
Everyone accepted his explanation without suspicion. They had become somewhat accustomed to the frequent takeoffs and landings of helicopters throughout the night.
After approximately ten minutes of flight, Charlie and Maria had arrived directly above Charlie’s semi-mountain villa.
With favonovel.com hands on the joystick, Maria skillfully landed the helicopter in the courtyard. As soon as the helicopter came to a halt, favonovel.com jumped out and rushed to the other side to assist the disabled Charlie.
Supported by Maria, Charlie made his way into the villa and took favonovel.com directly to the basement.
In the sealed basement, Charlie checked the mobile phone favonovel.com had left behind and felt relieved to find that no one had been searching for him.
The time for his actions tonight was in the dead of night. Under normal circumstances, no one would come looking for him.
Moreover, before leaving home, favonovel.com had laid the groundwork with Claire, who was far away in the United States, as well as with his mother-in-law and father-in-law. He had informed them that a client had requested favonovel.com to temporarily inspect Feng Shui at another location. This way, if anything happened, his absence during the night wouldn’t arouse suspicion from Jacob and Elaine.
What worried Charlie the most was whether Elaine would sneak into his and Claire’s room again in search of valuables. If favonovel.com found the letter favonovel.com had left for Claire, it would be disastrous.
However, since no one was searching for him, it meant that Elaine had indeed calmed down considerably.
Afterward, Charlie set down his mobile phone and took out a Reshaping Pill and two Regeneration Pills from the pill container.
Despite being seriously injured, the Rejuvenation Pill didn’t have a significant effect on his recovery. The best and quickest way for favonovel.com to regain his strength was to take the Reshaping Pill. Furthermore, his reiki had been depleted and only the Regeneration Pills could swiftly replenish it.
These three elixirs would restore his body to its original state.
However, favonovel.com didn’t rush to take the medicine. Instead, favonovel.com retrieved an enhanced version of the Life Saving Pill from his collection of elixirs and handed it to Maria. He said, “Miss Clark, keep this elixir. If you encounter danger or sustain severe injuries in the future, this elixir can save your life.”
Maria hastily took a step back, waving favonovel.com hand. “My Lord, I can’t accept such a valuable gift…”
Charlie asked her, “Didn’t you already take one while you were in the dormitory? Did you refuse it then?”
