Kylie trembled a little in fear and drew her sight back at once. "Mom, would you please say that again?"

"Kylie, Stephen locks Adolph up. Tell Ethan to figure out a way now!" Barbara whimpered. "Adolph is his biological father, after all."

​​

"Mom, relax, tell me everything." Kylie bit her lips. What she worried about most still happened now.

Seeing Kylie's expression, Ethan was concerned as well.

"Alright, I understand." Kylie nodded. "I'll tell Ethan right now."

After hanging up the call, Kylie walked to Ethan. "Well, mom just called me..."

"What?" Ethan interrupted her with impatience.

Kylie didn't dare meet his eyes. "Um, Stephen is going to take the couple Adolph and Agnes to visit his mother's grave tomorrow, and mom is worried about Adolph's safety."

When Kylie said Stephen's name, she made it faint.

She knew Ethan hated to hear that name, and she was unwilling to displease him again.

Ethan stares at her face. "Who?" he asked on purpose.

"Stephen," she said again, but it still sounded unclear.

"I can't hear you clearly." Ethan wore a cold face.

Kylie felt cornered and summoned up her courage. "Stephen!"

"Oh." Ethan nodded, then said with a sarcastic smile, "What's wrong with it? I don't think it's dangerous at all."

Kylie raised her head to look at Ethan. "Agnes has congenital kidney disease, and she persuaded Stephen's mother to do a kidney transplant to save her life, but an accident happened, and Stephen's mother died on the surgery bed."

"Adolph knew how dangerous the surgery was, but he didn't stop it. What's worse, he also lied to Stephen afterward. Do you think Stephen will forgive them?"

Ethan met Kylie's eyes and said one word after another, "Do you mean he has waited for so many years in the Cecil family to get a chance to take revenge?"

Although it was the truth, Kylie couldn't agree with him on that. If she nodded, it would be a compliment on Stephen right before Ethan's face.

It was something forbidden in Ethan's eyes.

Therefore, Kylie did her best to use negative words to describe it. "Stephen always has the scheme to take revenge, and he would seize every chance. Are you really not going to help Adolph?"

Ethan felt better when Kylie disapproved of Stephen's way of taking revenge.

"Well, I think the death anniversary of Stephen's mother is tomorrow," Ethan said, then walked away.

"Are you going to rescue Adolph or not?" Kylie wanted to follow him up but didn't have the courage to do so.

Ethan walked downstairs at a slow pace. "I'm not going to save Adolph, but a hostage."

Kylie smiled and went back to the bedroom as fast as she could. She sent Barbara a message and told her that Ethan would go to rescue Adolph.

It was easy to find out the address of the grave of Stephen's mother, and Ethan received the detailed address a short while later.

At the same time, Barbara showed up at the Finch family's house.

"Mom, welcome!" Kylie was surprised.

"Well, I always have a bad feeling that something terrible is going to happen." Barbara frowned with worries. She held Kylie's hand and looked at Ethan. "Ethan, no matter what happens, do rescue him."

Ethan played his phone but said nothing.

"Mom, don't worry. Ethan can handle it well," Kylie said to comfort Barbara, but Ethan glanced at her once she finished her sentences.

Kylie realized she shouldn't have said that. What if he couldn't?

Luckily, Ethan remained silent and kept on playing with his phone.

Barbara pulled Ethan's arm all of a sudden. "Ethan, how're your injuries? Let me have a look."

Ethan gently got rid of Barbara's hand. "I'm fine."

Kylie quietly pinched Barbara's arm to stop her, asking again. Ethan wasn't aware of his bad condition, after all.

If Barbara kept asking about Ethan's injuries, Ethan might find out the truth, which Kylie thought was severe.

Barbara understood Kylie's hint, then raised a smile. "Great, great. I'm glad to know you are fine. I still need you to support my rest life."

Kylie was a little surprised; then, her sight fell on Barbara's ring finger. There was only an obvious ring mark left on it.

"Mom did you..." Kylie held Barbara's hand without the ring.

"Oh, I removed it." Barbara glanced at her ring finger, then wore a wry smile. "I've been lying to myself to live a good life during these years."

"What has happened..." Ethan opened his mouth but stopped halfway.

Given his ability now, he still couldn't find clear evidence to prove that old Mr. Parker had been involved in that event years ago.

Without strong evidence, they couldn't blame old Mr. Parker, who treated Barbara well.

However, to their surprise, Barbara shook her head. "I clearly know what he has done that year."

Nobody knew it better than Barbara in what situation the amorous picture was taken.

They thought Barbara was unconscious under the effect of the drug, but she accidentally got her consciousness back when the photo was taken.

Barbara knew old Mr. Parker was the mastermind.

Nevertheless, she had to pretend that she knew nothing about it because old Mr. Parker had killed everyone who was involved in that event.

It was a long night.

Kylie chatted with Barbara for a long time and didn't fall asleep until daybreak. Barbara, instead, went to change a new set of clothing and waited in the living room.

Ethan had arranged people to watch the graveyard last night, so he received a call once Stephen's car just approached it.

The second he opened the door of the room, Barbara stood up from the sofa.

"Ethan." She looked at Ethan with determination. "I'll go with you."

Ethan stopped for a second. "Stephen is on the wanted list of the police. Not only are we going to rescue Adolph, but we'll also catch Stephen."

"If he fights back, an exchange of gunfire is very likely going to happen. We can't be sure that Adolph will be safe, and we don't have more attention to take care of you. It's too dangerous."

Whatever Ethan said, Barbara insisted on going with him.

"Trust me. As long as I go there, Adolph won't die!"
