NovelEnglishChapter 1655
In the quiet of Aldridge Estate, all eyes were on Colby seated on the sofa.
Sophie couldn't help but take Colby's hand, reassuring him, "Colby, Harold's people have gone to gather
information. | believe Adler will be fine. Don't worry too much." Adler and Jenna had been missing for twenty-four
hours, with no word from them.
The outskirts of the Silent Shadows valley were teeming with more mercenaries, seemingly to ward them off
intentionally.
Now, even though they knew Wesley was the leader of the Silent Shadows, it did them no good; they had no way
to get to Wesley.
"Mr. Aldridge! Mr. Adler he..."
"Where is he?"
Colby was up from the sofa in an instant, with Sophie and Harold looking equally tense.
The security at the door said, "Mr. Adler is outside, but... he was carried over."

Hearing that Adler had been carried back, Sophie's heart skipped a beat. They immediately ran outside Aldridge
Estate, only to see Adler being carried on a stretcher by unknown individuals outside the iron gate. "Adler!"
Sophie quickly said to the bodyguards, "What are you waiting for? Bring him in, now!"
"Yes!"
The bodyguards stepped out of Aldridge Estate's gates, Adler on the stretcher looking pale, his abdomen hastily
bandaged, already seeping blood.
"Don't worry, it's just a superficial wound." Harold said, calling out to William inside Aldridge Estate, "William!
Hurry! Cand save him!"
William, carrying a medical kit, ran down from the second floor, his proficiency stirring empathy.
"Here! Where is he?"
Rushing to the crowd, William soon noticed Adler lying on the stretcher.
"Good Lord!"
After a quick examination of Adler's condition, William concluded urgently, "Heavens, if he had been brought
back any later, the wound might have healed on its own!"

"What nonsense are you spouting? Can't you see he's unconscious? Save him now!"
Harold kicked William's behind, who then rubbed it, saying, "Wasn't | just trying to lighten the mood since
everyone seemed so tense?"

"Is this the tto lighten the mood? It's tfor you to save him!"
William, exasperated, said, "He's fine!
This guy was clever, had a re
wallet fucked by his waist. It's just a flesh wound; he won't die in a
hour!"
Colby and others, anxious and confused, hadn't noticed the leather wallet pressed against Adler's wound.

The wallet had been pierced, but fortunately, it wasn't life-threatening.
Sophie breathed a sigh of relief, "So, it's nothing serious?"
"Yep!"
"And when will he wake up?"
"That's easy! Given his condition, he'll probably wake up from the pain when | treat his wound."
Seeing Sophie's unamused expression, William turned serious, "I'll take him now. He'll definitely wake up within
an hour." "Please hurry."
"Will do!"
William immediately had the stretcher carried upstairs.
An hour later, William emerged from the room, inviting Sophie, Colby, and Harold inside.
In the bedroom, Adler looked feeble, more disheveled than Sophie had ever seen him. She asked, "Did you see
Jenna?"
