“Sir, why are you coughing up blood again? You really need to see a specialist.”

Before this, he had seen Hudson cough blood a few times, but it was rare.

Lately, it had become frequent; blood-stained tissues were everywhere, from the office to the study.

Hudson used to bury himself in work to elevate the Group, working day and night; his body was severely depleted.

Luckily, Jade’s careful specialty recovery meals over those three years had helped him improve.

w, Jade was no longer by Hudson’s side.

Between his irregular meals, erratic schedule, chronic insomnia, and chain-smoking.

And now the frequent coughing fits, it was hard to imagine just how bad his health had become.

Hudson heard Kevin’s concern but tossed the bloody tissue into the trash as if his own life were an afterthought.

“I’m fine. It won’t kill me yet.”

Kevin was instantly silenced.

Hudson let out a low cough, swallowing the metallic taste in his throat, and asked in a deep

voice.

“What about the investigation I ordered? Any progress?”

Returning to business, Kevin’s expression turned serious. “We only found that Bastian is a merchant from Faronne. The rest is a blank.”

“Faronne?” Hudson thought of Bastian’s presence and the name Howell from KOE flashed in his mind.

But he dismissed the thought immediately.

No public photos of Mr. Howell had ever been circulated.

Based on general reputation, he guessed Howell was an old titan of industry.

Besides, the world wasn’t that small; a man like that wouldn’t be following Jade around.

Hudson rubbed his temples; the lack of sleep and the constant overthinking were giving him a massive headache.

“Did you find out which company he’s with?”

Kevin named the firm.

“It’s just a standard, mid-sized boutique firm.”

Hudson bowed his head; that made more sense. Maybe Jade had just met him through work. But he remembered her trust in Bastian.

“Keep digging. I want to see if there’s anything beneath the surface.”

Kevin nodded. Hudson continued.

“Also, reach out to Anderson at KOE again. Find out when Mr. Howell is free. We need a concrete date this time.”

“Yes, sir.”

Kevin was about to leave when Hudson signaled him back.

“Come here. There’s one more critical thing I need you to handle.”

At the hospital.

As the drug wore off, Jade gradually opened her eyes.

She saw the ceiling and let out a quiet breath of relief.

She moved her hand and felt a gentle pull.

Bastian’s concerned voice reached her. “You’re awake. Are you feeling any pain?”

Before she could react, his hand rested against her forehead.

“The fever is gone. Looks like the drug has cleared your system.”

Jade saw the worry in Bastian’s eyes and gave a small shake of her head.
