When he saw Eliana’s reaction, Jonathan hugged her tightly and said in a pained voice, “Eliana, I’m sorry. I failed to protect you. When the car accident happened, the broken glass scratched your face.”

“So, you mean… I’ve been disfigured?”

A wave of disbelief washed over Eliana, and her mind went blank. She could not accept such devastating news.

“You will be fine. Trust me! I can help you heal,” Jonathan promised her sincerely.

Then he added, “Eliana, just stay here for now, okay? I’m afraid you’ll scare the kids if you go back looking like this. Don’t worry. I have arranged for you to be treated by the best doctors. Your face will be fixed soon.”

Eliana’s gaze was unfocused and she totally missed Jonathan’s reassurances.

Soon, the tranquilizer had taken full effect and she had fallen asleep.

She also missed the weird expression on Jonathan’s face.

After he put Eliana back in bed, the sad expression on Jonathan’s face disappeared, and he calmly walked out of the ward.

His assistant immediately walked over to him and reported, “Mr. Bowman, Maurice has taken action. He must know that we took Eliana, and he has already sent his men to look for her in our territories.”

“It doesn’t matter. I saw this coming. It’s just a little game,” Jonathan said calmly. “Eliana’s in our hands now. He’s sure to fail!”

That night, Jonathan had his assistant make him an appointment to meet Maurice in the casino.

On the road, a silver Maybach drove towards the casino.
