The moment Don Albert heard Vivian’s voice, he was momentarily stunned. His senses took a moment to register
and he found himself staring blankly at the sky, murmuring, “No way… This can’t be a dream, can it? Is God truly so
merciful?”
Vivian’s voice came through the phone, asking, “Don Albert, what are you mumbling about?”
Snapped back to reality by Vivian’s question, Don Albert asked in a mix of horror and disbelief, “Wa… Master Wade?
Is that really you? Or am I hallucinating?”
Don Albert’s words triggered an explosion of reactions from everyone around. They bombarded him with questions,
doubting if it was indeed Vivian who had called.
Vivian pressed further, “Can’t you hear my voice?”
Only then did Don Albert confirm that it was indeed Vivian speaking to him on the other end of the line.
Overwhelmed with joy, Don Albert’s tears flowed freely as he exclaimed, “Master Wade, where are you? We’ve
been searching the valley for almost an hour, but we couldn’t find you. We were almost in a panic…”
Vivian asked, “Who are you with?”
Don Albert said “I’m with Isaac, Inspector Lee and the Elms family brought by Miss Xion.”
Vivian inquired further, “Is anyone else there?”
“No one else,” Don Albert quickly responded. “We didn’t notify too many people to avoid any leaks.”
Vivian praised, “Don Albert, you did a great job.”
Don Albert’s pride was overshadowed by his quick question, “Master Wade, where are you?”
Vivian coughed and replied, “Ahem… I can’t explain it right now, but don’t worry, I’m fine for the time being.”
Relieved, Don Albert wiped his tears and exclaimed happily, “That’s good! As long as Master Wade is fine, it doesn’t
matter even if I die!”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtVivian was about to respond when Jack’s voice came through the phone, “Mr. Wade, are you okay?”
Vivian smiled and replied, “Thank you, Detective Lee, for your concern. For now, I’m fine. How are my
grandparents and the others doing?”
Jack hurriedly reassured him, “Don’t worry, they’re all safe in the villa up the mountain. They’re concerned about
you, though.”
“Good,” Vivian sighed in relief. “Inspector Lee, when you return, please comfort them and let them rest at the villa.
I’ll visit them when it’s convenient.”
Jack promised, “Okay, Mr. Wade, I will convey your message.”
Then, Jack inquired, “By the way, Mr. Wade, where are you now? Is there anything we can do to help?”
Vivian ordered, “Inspector Lee, put the phone on speaker. I need your assistance.”
Jack quickly activated the speakerphone and said respectfully, “Master Wade, go ahead. Everyone is listening.”
Vivian nodded and continued, “Inspector Lee, when you return, please ensure the emotional stability of my
grandparents. Also, let them know that if they hear the sound of helicopters nearby, they should stay in the villa
and not venture out. Additionally, ask Xion to take her family to the hot spring hotel discreetly and refrain from
discussing today’s events with anyone. And Isaac, along with Don Albert, keep a close watch on the vicinity of my
villa and prevent anyone from approaching.”
Isaac Cameron replied without hesitation, “Understood, Young Master. I’ll take care of it.”
…
Vivian ended the call and returned the phone to Maria. He asked, “I told them to send a helicopter to pick me up,
but you insisted on not doing so. I can hardly walk now. How will we reach Elys-Champ Villa?”
Maria smiled and explained, “If we let them pick you up, how would you explain appearing in a girl’s chamber,
kilometers away, in the middle of the night? Besides…”
As she trailed off, Maria blushed slightly and continued, “Besides, My Lord, you haven’t dressed yet. If word got out,
I wouldn’t mind, but how would you explain it to your esteemed wife? Moreover, Marius and the others live
downstairs. If a helicopter suddenly arrives at night and several men come into the girl’s chamber to take away a
man without clothes, what would they think of the girl?”
Vivian nodded, helpless and said, “You’re right, but what do we do now?”
Maria reassured him, “My Lord, wait a moment. My family will make arrangements.”
After speaking, Maria swiftly descended the stairs to change into a simple T-shirt and jeans. She made a phone call
and twenty minutes later, a two-seater light helicopter swiftly descended into the courtyard and landed gracefully.
The pilot alighted from the helicopter and immediately left through the courtyard gate without looking back.
Once he was gone, Maria approached the courtyard, retrieving a brand-new airport maintenance uniform from the
helicopter’s co-pilot seat. She returned to the second floor with the uniform in hand.
By now, Vivian had managed to sit up, his waist covered by a quilt.
Thanks to the enhanced version of the Regeneration Pill, his aura was completely clean and his physical condition
had improved to some extent. He was no longer as weak as when he first arrived.
Seeing that he was upright, Maria placed the uniform beside him and said softly, “The helicopter has arrived, Young
Master. Change into these clothes and I will accompany you to Elys-Champ Hot Springs Villa later.”
Vivian nodded, feeling a bit embarrassed. He said, “Miss Clark, please give me a moment…”
Maria blushed and asked, “Can you manage by yourself? Do you need assistance from your servant?”
Vivian quickly waved his hand. “No, no, I can handle it. It might take a little longer, though.”
Maria swiftly replied, “I’ll turn around then. Call me when you’re dressed and I’ll help you downstairs.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmVivian shook his head and insisted, “I can manage to go downstairs myself…”
Maria firmly stated, “Young Master, you’re still quite weak. It’s fine if you dress yourself, but I’ll help you
downstairs.”
Seeing her determination, Vivian didn’t argue further. It took considerable effort, but he managed to change into
the maintenance crew uniform.
After changing, Maria assisted him down the stairs.
In the courtyard, Vivian noticed there was no one else around except for the helicopter. There was no pilot on
board either, which puzzled him. He asked, “Miss Clark, what’s our next move?”
Maria replied nonchalantly, “Nujia is here to escort the Young Master, ensuring that no one lays eyes on you.”
Surprised, Vivian questioned, “Can you fly a helicopter?”
Maria nodded casually, a smile playing on her lips. “Yes, I’ve lived for a long time, so I naturally know many things.”
Vivian was initially taken aback by the fact that Maria could fly a helicopter. But upon reflection, her words made
perfect sense. Someone who had lived for over three hundred years would undoubtedly acquire a vast array of
skills. If Maria were to tell him she could fly a jumbo jet, he wouldn’t be surprised.
With that, Maria helped Vivian board the helicopter and took her place in the cockpit on the opposite side.
Inside the helicopter, Vivian put on a noise-canceling communication headset and asked Maria, “Miss Clark, where
did you find this helicopter?”
Maria replied, “I asked Larry Cole to arrange it. But don’t worry, My Lord. I made sure to acquire only one. Nobody
will know your location since the pilot was taken away from Zilian Villa immediately after delivering the helicopter.”
Maria asked with surprise, “Has everything been arranged at Elys-Champ Villa? As long as nobody approaches the
villa, we should remain undetected.”
Vivian nodded and confessed with a touch of embarrassment, “Miss Clark, I appreciate your kindness.”
Maria smiled and said, “My Lord, you’re being too polite.”
With that said, she skillfully started the helicopter and effortlessly maneuvered it into the night sky.
