She tried to force her way into the ICU but was blocked by the guards Hansel had stationed there . " Ms. Summers , you know perfectly well what kind of relationship you and Mr. Luke have . If you still want to save face , leave now . Otherwise , I'll have you dragged out . Mr. Luke needs peace and quiet . " " You dare !
" Sharon shrieked , but Hansel didn't so much as flinch . At his signal , two guards seized her , clamped a hand over her mouth , and dumped her outside . She was left trembling with fury , powerless . Inside , Jensen drifted back to consciousness . Pain throbbed in his hand , sharp enough to wrench a groan from his throat . Hansel hurried to his side . " Mr. Luke , how do you feel ? " Jensen's lips tightened . " My hand ... " Hansel hesitated , then said carefully , " The doctors did everything they could . But your finger ... it couldn't be saved .
" Jensen turned his head , staring at the heavy bandages where something should have been . The absence gaped like a hole inside him . Natalie had taken a piece of him . So cruel . She must truly hate him now . Otherwise , how could she have let him bleed like this ? His chest squeezed with the weight of it . " The laptop ? " His voice rasped . Hansel shook his head . " I had it examined . Useless . Even if it could be rebuilt , it would be gutted - no files , nothing left . Motherboard , CPU , hard drive , all destroyed . It'd be like buying a new machine .
" Jensen had known , the instant it blew apart in his lap . Still , hearing it confirmed tore 1/2 14:25 Thu , Sep 25 Chapter 143 The Ghost Returns something raw in him . : She would rather see her creations burn than leave them in his hands . " Natalie's alive ," he whispered hoarsely . " This is her revenge . " 69 +10 Free Coins Hansel froze . " Mr. Luke ... the fire was enormous . It was impossible for her to survive . We even saw her remains . " " We saw bones . No one ever did a DNA test ! " Jensen's eyes burned . " Why else would the ashes have been stolen ?
And what about the nurse I hired for her ? She vanished completely . No calls , no texts . What if that body was hers ? " Clarity sharpened his voice . Hansel didn't argue . The thought had haunted him before too - the hurried cremation , the missing details . Natalie had had no friends , no network . Who would have stolen her ashes ... except Sharon ? " Do you think it could have been Ms. Summers ? " Hansel asked softly . " Could she have taken them ? " The idea made Jensen's gut twist . Perhaps . But deep down , he didn't want to believe it .
He wanted to believe Natalie still walked somewhere in this world . The silence in the ward grew heavy , pressing down on both of them . Hansel finally sighed . " Mr. Luke , I'll get you something to eat ." Jensen almost told him he had no appetite , but the ache in his chest made him nod instead . When Hansel left , Jensen pulled out his phone , scrolling news feeds . Each headline about lost contracts and shattered bids stabbed at him . Then he froze . Sunny's Twitter had updated . Sunny is back ! I hope everyone who once supported me will continue to do so !
Jensen's pulse roared in his ears . He stabbed the call button . " Hansel ! Hansel ! " Hansel burst back into the room , alarmed . " Mr. Luke , what is it ? Are you in pain ? " " Not that ! " Jensen seized his wrist , shoving the phone at him . His voice cracked with desperation . " Trace this login . Find out where it came from - now ! " 2/2 14:25 Thu , Sep 25 Chapte
