Midnight Bride The CEO’s Temptation

"Right, I mustn't be panicky, I mustn't..." Grandpa Sloane took a deep breath to calm his panic.

Hazel said in a soft voice, "Grandpa Sloane, are you still in the hospital? Please wait, I'll reach you soon."

"Okay, okay..." Grandpa Sloane agreed.

Without more words, Hazel quickly went to drive the car to the nursing home.

Hazel knew Grandpa Sloane was old, and Stacy had been his guilt and pain, so her sudden disappearance certainly upset him now.

She was worried not only about Stacy but also about Grandpa Sloane.

The car was moving so fast that Hazel couldn't stop thinking about it. She was worried that something might happen to him in the face of such a blow.

While driving fast, Hazel kept thinking about this incident.

It was such a coincidence that Stacy was missing at this point.

Joshua seldom went to the nursing home. Even Hazel hadn't been there for a long time. Besides, the nursing home was remote. Reasonably speaking, the organization shouldn't target Stacy.

There were many problems with this incident. Stacy's disappearance mustn't be simple, and there must be someone behind it.

Having said that, how should she find Stacy?

If Hazel used Denmark Group's power, Joshua would know soon enough. She couldn't be sure whether Stacy's disappearance was a plot against Joshua.

Hazel didn't think she could take a risk.

She couldn't use the power of the Denmark Group... Hazel's eyes suddenly lit up as she suddenly thought of a suitable person, so she picked up the phone and dialed.

After arriving at the nursing home, she quickly headed for the ward.

Just as she had guessed, Grandpa Sloane was so emotional that he almost collapsed. Fortunately, he was in the nursing home at the time, and the doctor who happened to be nearby saved him.

Looking at Grandpa Sloane lying in bed, Hazel hurried to walk over and took his hand. "Grandpa Sloane, rest assured. How sad Joshua would be! And how sad Aunt Stacy would be if anything should happen to you now!"

Grandpa Sloane replied with frustration, "Hazel, don't worry about me. I'm fine now. But Stacy..."

"Don't worry." Hazel promised, "I'll bring my Aunt Stacy home. But I'd like to have a good knowledge of this incident. How did Aunt Stacy go missing?"

"Stacy has gotten much better. She can recognize people and remember something, even if her memory is broken," Grandpa Sloane said. "When the nursing home found she was getting better, they arranged for a nurse to show her around the garden. Nothing has ever happened before, but today the nurse was directly knocked out, and Stacy's gone."

Hazel's heart sank. If it was true, it meant someone kidnapped Stacy.

"Is there a monitor?" she asked.

"The garden has monitors, but we checked the monitors and found them happened to be broken at the time." The director of the nursing home explained, embarrassed.

"All the monitors are broken?" Hazel continued asking.

"... No." The director was in a daze. "It's just that the monitors from the garden to the yard are broken, so we have no way to find out who took the patient."

"This is clearly a premeditated kidnapping. The kidnapper can't just show up once. As long as they wander around here, they would be careless one day." Hazel furrowed her eyebrows tightly. "Go check all the monitors now. Get the footage for the recent few days and weeks. Find out every suspicious person and every car that shows up near the nursing home!"

Knowing that this was a very serious incident, the director immediately ordered some staff to check. Hazel didn't feel relieved. After arranging for someone to take care of Grandpa Sloane, she followed the staff.

Soon, according to Hazel's approach, the hospital tracked down a suspicious car that showed up several times near the nursing home. However, the other side seemed to have a sense of anti-reconnaissance, just staying for a short time. Besides, the place the car stayed was very hidden. The monitor only captured the car's shape instead of its license plate number.

Hazel had the car printed and showed the picture to Grandpa Sloane.

"Grandpa Sloane, are you familiar with this car?" she asked.

"This…" Grandpa Sloane stared blankly at the picture.

Hazel suspected there was only one possibility left since the other person didn't find this nursing home by following her or Joshua. Their original target was the Sloane family, but before they could attack the Sloane family, they accidentally discovered Stacy's existence.

"I've asked the director. He said, this car came here every time you came to visit Aunt Stacy," Hazel did not hide it from him and directly told him her speculation. "Only this car is suspicious at present. I think they followed you to this nursing home. So it should not only have appeared near the nursing home, but it must have also appeared in the vicinity of the Sloane family."

"So Stacy was kidnapped because of me…." Grandpa Sloane's face turned pale instantly.

"Grandpa Sloane, you can't think in that way," Hazel shook her head. "Aunt Stacy's disappearance is caused by the other side who tries to hurt the Sloane family. If they're not trying to deal with Aunt Stacy, they must have wanted to deal with you. The most important thing for us now is to find out the bad guys!"

"Yes, you're right," Grandpa Sloane came to his senses and looked at the picture again, "but I really don't get an impression of it. Well, I'll call the Sloane family's house and ask the family members to check the monitors in the vicinity of the Sloane family."

"Fine." Hazel nodded.

Hardly had Grandpa Sloane finished the phone call when a nurse informed Hazel that someone was coming to the nursing home to look for her.

When Hazel came out of the ward, she saw James waiting in the hallway.

Hazel was relieved to see him. Now she could not use the power of the Denmark Group or ask Simon for help. The only person that she could think of was James.

Of course, she could also ask Katherine for help, but Katherine was a person with an unusual identity. If Katherine interfered in this incident, the whole thing would likely become more serious, and thus it might be harder for Hazel to keep Stacy safe.

"What's the matter?" James asked.

Hazel briefed him.

"Someone kidnapped Joshua's mother?" James was amazed. "Does Joshua know that? Did you call the police?"

"No, I don't dare tell him right now," Hazel shook her head. "I didn't call the police, either."

It was Grandpa Sloane and Hazel's common meaning not to call the police. They all speculated that there was a 90 percent chance that the person who kidnapped Stacy was the people from the organization.

Now, the other person might just want to threaten Joshua with Stacy, but if they called the police, the organization would not let Stacy go.

"Why can't he know?" James was more puzzled. "Also, why didn't you call the police?"
