Chapter 5: The Mark!

Edric Harding was filled with shock, but he couldn't utter a single word. He could only watch helplessly as Jun Chester left. The little boy in Jun Chester's arms had a shocked expression on his small face. After a while, the little boy looked up at Jun Chester with admiration and said, "Dad, you're so cool!"

Jun Chester smiled and said, "When you grow up, do you want to be as cool as your dad? Or, you can be even cooler!"

The little boy laughed heartily and agreed.

Jun Chester hesitated for a moment, but still asked, "What's the story with the missing painting they talked about? Did you steal it?"

"Of course not! It's that bastard Edric Harding! He's the one who stole it!" the little boy immediately replied.

"Alright, I believe you," Jun Chester said. "Are we going to the hospital to see mom now?"

"Of course."

Along the way, they chatted and laughed, both of them very happy. But when Jun Chester asked the little boy his name, the boy said, "Grandpa named me Lyre, but these guys behind my back call me Liar! I'm not a Liar!"

A hint of coldness flashed in Jun Chester's eyes.

Liar?

Hmph!

Wilfrid Chester sure knew how to pick names!

The little boy continued, "Mr. Osborn also gave me a better name, however. He calls me Dion Chester!"

Jun Chester was slightly taken aback, then smiled and said, "I like it too. From now on, you are Dion Chester!"

As they approached the entrance, the plainly dressed Jack Osborn was already waiting outside the gate. Seeing Jun Chester carrying Dion Chester and walking out, a smile appeared on his face, as if he understood everything.

Jun Chester walked up to Jack Osborn, and although he had guessed how Jack Osborn had been protecting Dion Chester over the years, he didn't say any words of thanks. Because between the two of them, there was no need for that.

Jun Chester took out a blue token from his pocket, handed it to Jack Osborn and whispered.

"Tell them, I'm back!"

These five simple words instantly energized Jack Osborn. His listless and murky eyes suddenly became lively and bright.

Jack Osborn knelt on one knee, took the token with both hands, and loudly proclaimed, "Yes, sir!"

...

That night.

Dirtmouth City Hospital.

Jun Chester stood in front of the hospital, holding his little boy who was sleeping in his arms. On their way to the hospital, Jun Chester learned that he hadn't eaten anything all day and had been beaten by Edric Harding because of their accusations.

After finding out that Jun Chester was his father, the little boy's tense nerves finally relaxed. Jun Chester took him to dinner, and not long after, the boy could no longer resist sleepiness and fell asleep in Jun Chester's arms.

Dion Chester's mother was staying on the twenty-eighth floor of the hospital in front of them. She had been in a coma for years after being injured by the twelve Lords of Cinder from Cinder Chapel. Jun Chester had sent his people to maintain her life using the world's most advanced medical equipment.

Although it was still unclear why she looked so much like Bella, he believed the truth would be revealed soon.

Jun Chester looked up at the twenty-eighth floor of the hospital, as if making up his mind, and strode in.

...

In the luxurious ward on the twenty-eighth floor of the hospital, two young men with explosive hairstyles were frantically unplugging all the equipment connected to the woman on the sickbed.

A bald middle-aged man was giving order. "Hurry up! The helicopter is already waiting for us, and you only have twenty minutes!"

"Can you be more careful? This is the most advanced equipment in the world, and there are only three in the entire world! If you break it, Master Branden will kill you!"

Jun Chester had just reached the door of the ward when he heard the voice of the bald middle-aged man inside.

As he pushed the door open, another voice, belonging to a young man with an explosive hairstyle, rang out. "Mr. Heat, why don't we take this young lady with us? She's about to die anyway, so it'll be an act of kindness for us to let her enjoy the last moments of her life! This is a good opportunity!"

"This equipment is so dope. Has this woman really been lying here for seven years? She doesn’t look like that at all!"

The wires on the sophisticated equipment had soon been completely removed by two young men with explosive hairstyles.

When Jun Chester saw what was happening, a surge of anger shot through him. "What are you doing?!" Jun Chester instantly stepped forward, raised his hand, and gave it a swing. With a smack, the two young men with explosive hairstyles were thrown out, landing on the floor, unable to get up! The bald middle-aged man stared in shock at Jun Chester, who was holding a child. "Are you a ghost? You didn't make a sound!"

Jun Chester had already put Dion Chester into a deep sleep using a special method. It would help his injuries heal, and no one could disturb Dion Chester's rest before he was awakened using a special technique. Nevertheless, Jun Chester still placed Dion Chester on a nearby sofa. The bald middle-aged man, when he saw Jun Chester ignoring him, became furious. "Who the hell are you? We work for Master Branden!"

"Do you know who Master Branden is? He's with the head of the Chester family!"

"If you dare to meddle in our business, not only Master Branden but also the Chester family won't let you off!"

"This equipment is needed by the head of the Chester family!"

The head of the Chester family? So, this had something to do with Wilfrid Chester!

A chilling glint flashed in Jun Chester's eyes. He strode up to the bald middle-aged man, grabbed him by the neck, and slowly lifted him up! The bald man's feet gradually left the ground, his face twisted in pain. How could he have imagined that he wouldn't stand a chance against this man who looked like a beggar? The other two young men with explosive hairstyles watched them, trembling with fear, hardly daring to breathe!

Ten seconds passed... The bald man seemed to have never moved since just now. "He's... he's dead!" The two young men with explosive hairstyles cried out in shock, using all their strength to crawl and roll out of the ward. At that moment, a loud, heavy gasp came from the patient's bed. Without the support of the equipment, the woman's vital signs were rapidly declining, and her life was fading away!

Jun Chester realized this and immediately let go of the bald man, striding towards the bed. The bald man fell to the ground, feeling completely powerless. "You just... wait for me! This isn't over!" The bald man threatened Jun Chester viciously before escaping through the window. To his surprise, there was a cage hanging down from the rooftop outside the window. Clearly, they intended to steal the equipment from the ward!

Jun Chester paid no more attention to the bald man, instead placing his large hand on the chest of the woman lying on the bed. It seemed as if Jun Chester hadn't done anything, but the pain on the woman's face gradually disappeared, and her vital signs slowly returned to normal. He looked at her flawless cheek... Jun Chester couldn't believe that she wasn't Bella! But to further confirm her identity, he hesitated briefly before pulling open her hospital gown. Because...

Regardless of whether this woman was Jun Chester's fiancée, what he sought was the woman who had once written a diary for him, who had genuinely cared for him. If the woman before him was that person, then there should be a small mark on her shoulder. Seven years had passed... but that mark would undoubtedly still be there!
