Chapter 286
Ethan slammed the spoon he held onto the table and shouted, “What do you mean he has been
taken?”
Kelvin urgently said, “Mrs. Miller had dispatched extra guards to watch over Mr. Fordham about two
weeks ago.
“I didn’t really concern myself with it, but it would seem like she knew someone would go after Mr.
Fordham.
“There were already two groups of people in a gunfight when we arrived.
Some nurses were injured in the crossfire. The hospital has temporarily stopped the news from
spreading.
“Where is Jeff?”
“One of the groups took him. From my initial calculations, there were four different groups, including
us.”
Excluding Olivia’s hired muscle and Ethan’s men, another group would be The Toxic Hive.
But the fourth group was unknown. It was uncertain which group took Jeff.
Ethan noticed that Kelvin’s voice sounded a little feeble. He knew something was wrong. “Are you
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇthurt?”
Kelvin was holding his own arm tightly. Blood was seeping from his palm.
He gritted his teeth and said, “It’s no big deal, Mr. Miller. It was my fault. I didn’t expect them to go so
far.”
He was not alone in thinking that. Ethan also didn’t expect such an intense situation to arise from an
unconscious man like Jeff.
Even a notorious international group was in on it.
Ethan hung up the phone. It wasn’t a good sign that The Toxic Hive was operating within Aldenvine.
This organization didn’t belong to any country in particular. Several of its members were death row
prisoners on the run.
The organization was characterized by its genius medical professionals and their boundless cruelty.
They could sacrifice the lives of thousands just to test the results of their research.
Most people stayed away from them. But there were also some people who were desperate to save
thved ones. They would take the risk to deal with the devil.
Many important businessmen and politicians from countries worldwide had ties to the organization to
buy prohibited drugs from them.
Ethan had no tolerance for a rogue organization like The Toxic Hive. He needed professionals to
handle these people.
The hospital was on lockdown. There was blood splattered everywhere, even on the ceilings.
The fight over Jeff was vicious. The people had no care for the well-being of the civilians.
Kelvin’s arm was injured because he tried to protect a nurse.
“Mr. Miller, these people are so full of themselves. They had no regard for human life and shot up the
hospital.”
Ethan looked at the bullet holes in the door. His expression turned serious, “I can see that. How many
casualties are there?”
“Eight were killed, 24 critically injured, and 12 with minor wounds.”
This could be considered an extremely serious security breach. The victims were told to keep the
incident to themselves.
No one was allowed in or out of the hospital.
The officials kept coming. A lot of the people on the scene were shocked. They had never experienced
something so
frightening.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmJeff’s room was in the best condition. There wasn’t any blood spilled in there. His caregivers only
received minor injuries.
Ethan emerged from the security perimeter and entered the ward of Jeff’s caregiver.

Ethan was meeting the caregiver for the first time.
As the door opened, the caregiver looked towards the entrance with a respectful expression and bowed
her head out of habit.” Sir, I’m fine, it’s just my foot… Y-you are… Mr. Miller?”
The caregiver was intimidated. She had only been visited by the police and government officials.
She didn’t know why a famous businessman would visit her. She thought he had come to the wrong
room.
It was already springtime, but Ethan’s presence seemed to bring along a chilling sensation.
He nodded and signaled the caregiver to be at ease.
Ethan carried himself with dignity. He said expressionlessly, “You don’t have to sit up. Just answer
some of my questions.”
The caregiver suddenly interjected, “You’re… Ms. Fordham’s ex-husband, right?”
