巡回检察组全集

In Avron mansion, Country A.

Anya tried hard to sleep but her eyes were wide open without a wink of sleepiness. She was afraid to toss and turn which would disturb the two on the bed.

Why can't I sleep?

The culprits were caught, and there was no toxic gas that could affect anybody yet she was uneasy. She had thought Zane would be sleepless at the new place but she was wide awake and oddly alert of her surroundings.

Supporting her elbow on the pillow, Anya propped her head on her palm and watched the two sleeping peacefully. She smiled looking at Zane who was resting his head on Alvin's arm.

She deduced why she wasn't at ease. Casper was the mastermind behind the attack and killed four innocent men to keep Alvin away from Narnia. In the panic of losing the company to Alvin, Casper might go to any length. Zane was with them when danger was looming over them.

How could she be at ease?

Reaching out, Anya gently caressed Zane's chubby cheek. She truly wondered how Aarvi Evans made him comfortable at her place. Then wondered how Alvin was relaxing in hotels without a proper stay in the past years.

Alvin suddenly woke up to the graze over his face and looked at the owner of the hand. His shoulders relaxed only when he confirmed there was no threat but caught his wife red-handed.

Anya didn't expect him to be a light sleeper as he dozed off so quickly. She helplessly apologized for disturbing his sleep. "I didn't mean to wake you up."

Stifling a yawn, he groggily teased, "Can't sleep without me?"

Well, she did miss nestled in his warmth, breathing his scent and sleeping like a pig without a hint of worry. Anyway, she pouted and complained to him, pointing at Zane, "You stole my cuddle bug." She didn't have any of them in her arms.

The next second, Alvin swiftly yet carefully shifted Zane to the other side and tugged her into his arms, "I would rather steal you, Little Donut."

Silently giggling, Anya snuggled to her husband, moved his hand to caress her head, wrapped her arm over him, and tried to sleep for some time.

Alvin had to hold the little man when Zane flipped around and snuggled closer to him. He had thought Anya might have to struggle between him and Zane but he was cuddling his Little Donut and her little version.

When was he capable of so much? It amused him.

Anya had just dozed off, she gasped hearing the mobile ring. There was a hint of alarm in her eyes and her body guarded up instinctively in case there was a problem.

Alvin was quick to grab the mobile from the other bedside table and put it on silent. He pulled Anya into his arms before she could get off the bed. He hid his frown of annoyance, looking at her anxious eyes. Anya had just managed to sleep, he wanted to bury the caller for disturbing her.

Yet, "Sleep…" He gently coaxed her back to sleep.

Anya saw his calm and sleepy eyes under the faint light in the room. Dazed, "The call!?"

He lied, "There was no call, Little Donut."

Confused, Did she just have a dream? She snuggled back into his arms.

Alvin checked the caller who wasn't Rob or Ean or Linus. He didn't have time or patience to deal with Liam's mess. So he tossed the mobile aside and cuddled his wife to sleep.

At Hospital Narnia,

'An untreated heart attack can weaken your heart and cause heart failure later.'

'Thud.'

The doctor paused when the butler abruptly sat on the chair unable to take the shock. Liam silently gasped when his heart jumped to his throat. He looked back at the doctor, hoping to have a solution.

The doctor continued looking at hopeful Liam, "You have two options. Contact and wait for the top surgeon to arrive in the city or we have a home surgeon who has handled these kinds of cases smoothly."

Liam and Harrison looked at each other. Indeed, they often try to reach the top best doctors. But they weren't sure what to do. Secretary Harrison asked, "Where can we find this top surgeon?" They could arrange for his arrival.

Another doctor spoke, "Mocon, Country A. If we can convince Doctor Rivas, he might be able to reach before dawn." For that, they need to hear Liam first.

Liam's eyes brightened. "Alvin," He turned to Harrison, "Alvin is in country A at Mocon - Coasta border. His private jet will be there." They could bring the doctor much more quickly.

Harrison: "..."

He doubted Alvin would bother about Casper. Anya would be a better choice.

Without waiting for a response, Liam dialed Alvin's number. The call was unanswered. He tried again but failed to reach Alvin. He stumbled through the list to realize he didn't have Anya and Rob's contact details.

Harrison sighed looking at Liam who was edgy and frowning. He patted Liam's shoulder as he asked the leading doctor. "What is the best option and risk rate right now?"

The doctor glanced at Liam, focusing back so he actively suggested, "We have already delayed the treatment of the patient. As your family doctor, I suggest you start the procedure with our home surgeon."

Liam glanced at the contact name Alvin and pursed his lips to a thin line. He trusted their doctor but… He looked back at the doctor and agreed, "Alright, start the procedure."

Everyone quickly got into action after receiving the approval.

When Harrison got busy handling the company, news about Casper, and damage control in case of a news leak, Liam's guilty mind regretted going to Alvin for help. He blamed himself for going hard on Casper.

Why did he have to go to Alvin?

Liam frowned. He wouldn't have reached out to Alvin so that Alvin doesn't hurt the innocents at the company. Everything was happening because of Alvin's autocracy.

Casper would have been still affected as Alvin would have gone with his plan and affected the whole company and reputation. Thus he started blaming Alvin for everything.

With the unanswered calls, without getting a call back from Alvin, Liam's anger slowly shifted to Alvin. He couldn't stop his mind from thinking that the Matthews family was in shambles due to Alvin's return.
