Chapter 82: Missing body

He vaguely sensed that something was amiss, but he couldn’t pinpoint what it was. However, Claire was right—Anna’s actions had indeed gone beyond what any normal person would do.

Alex felt a sharp pain in his forehead and was deeply annoyed. He had already made his stance clear, but he still couldn’t erase Anna’s feelings for him. Encountering such a girl was like a nightmare.

"So, what should we do?" Claire asked with a hint of sarcasm on her face as she looked at Alex. "Can you bring yourself to deal with your childhood sweetheart?"

Alex’s lips curled up in disdain. "Why can’t I? Only you take her seriously. I’ll send her abroad tomorrow."

Upon hearing this, Claire’s face stiffened, and her frustration dissipated. Thinking of Sheila, she regained her composure and asked, "So, about Dr. Sheila, what do you plan to do?"

Alex’s gaze darkened as he turned to look in the direction of the hospital. "She can’t stay at the central hospital anymore. Even if I didn’t say anything, the hospital would have fired her. As for her future, whether it’s good or bad, it has nothing to do with me. It all depends on her own fate."

Claire nodded and pondered for a moment before saying, "If possible, I’d like her to come to the Western Medical Clinic."

Hearing this, Alex raised his eyebrows in surprise. "What for? Her medical skills are vastly different from yours, and going to the Western Medical Clinic would be of no use."

Claire smiled and shook her head. "Now that she’s been expelled from the hospital, her status is awkward. However, if she joins my team, with her knowledge and experience, she can definitely become a key trainee. After all, my clinic lacks excellent talent, and I could use someone who has seen the darker sides of medical practice."

"And Dr. Sheila... I believe she should be interested in learning more about the specialized skills we practice at the clinic. You wouldn’t refuse, would you?"

Alex hesitated for a moment, then nodded. "If you think she can be of use to your work, then I won’t stand in the way. But remember, Claire, this is your responsibility now. I won’t interfere."

Claire smiled gently, feeling a sense of relief. "Thank you, Alex. I’ll handle it."

Alex shook his head helplessly, took her hand, and walked towards the car, saying, "Alright, don’t worry about other people’s affairs. What’s important now is to go home with me and rest as soon as possible. You’re weak now, and you’re about to become a mother. You can’t stay up late like this."

Claire lowered her head and said, "Mmm."

The two held hands and were about to get into the car when a voice suddenly called out behind them.

"Wait!"

A black-clad bodyguard ran towards them, his face tense. Alex stopped in his tracks and turned around. In an instant, his eyes narrowed, and he said in a deep voice, "What’s going on?"

This bodyguard had been sent by him to guard the old man’s body. Seeing him appear, Alex had a bad feeling in his heart. As expected, the black-clad bodyguard stood in front of Alex and said urgently, "Mr. Miller, the old man’s body is gone!"

"What did you say?" Alex’s eyes flashed with disbelief, and he asked urgently, "When was it discovered?"

"Just now. When we found out, we only saw a black car taking away the elder master’s body."

Alex’s eyes suddenly darkened, and his whole body exuded a cold aura. "Where is my Uncle Jack?" he asked in a cold voice.

The black-clad bodyguard quickly replied, "When we arrived at the room where he was being held, he was already gone."

Hearing this, Alex’s breathing suddenly stagnated. He had arranged dozens of bodyguards inside and outside the City A Central Hospital. If someone could take Jack away under his nose, it meant that the other party’s identity was not ordinary. Alex took a deep breath, nodded, and turned to Claire, saying, "Claire, send someone to take you back first. Go home and rest. After I finish dealing with these matters tomorrow, I will come back to see you."

Claire had also heard the conversation between the two just now and knew the seriousness of the situation. She looked at Alex nervously and asked, "Is it serious?"

Alex chuckled lightly, reached out and touched her long hair, and said, "It’s not serious for me. Don’t worry."

After speaking, he looked at the black-clad bodyguards in front of him and said, "Escort the Madam back."

"Yes!" The black-clad bodyguard immediately replied, "Madam, please follow me."

Claire looked at Alex with concern and whispered, "Be careful." Then she followed the bodyguard and got into a car. After sitting down, the car started smoothly. Claire looked through the window at Alex’s figure. At this moment, he was standing with his hands behind his back, his face solemn, and he looked majestic and fierce. Seeing him like this, she couldn’t help but restrain her worries. Alex was a man worth relying on.

At the same time, in an abandoned factory on the outskirts of City A, Anna stood in the center of the empty hall, covering her nose and mouth in disgust, saying, "What kind of place did you bring me to? It stinks so bad. I hate it."

On the opposite side stood a tall and strong man wearing a hat, whose face could not be seen clearly. But from his powerful figure, it was evident that this person was highly skilled. Hearing Anna’s disgusted voice, the man let out a hoarse laugh and sneered, "What do you think we are doing? Do we need to prepare a stage for you to show everyone your wicked and vicious heart?"

Anna’s face alternated between red and white, and cold sweat oozed from her back. Her voice trembled as she said, "What are you talking about? I didn’t mean that."

"Okay, keep your voice down. Don’t let anyone hear you!" Jack walked slowly out from behind the man with the hat, interrupting the argument between the two.

Seeing Jack appear, Anna quickly put away the disgusted expression on her face, went forward, and said, "Uncle, how are you? Do you want me to check on you?"

Jack’s face froze, a bit of boredom arose in his heart, and he said, "No need. This amount of exercise can’t hurt me." What’s more, Claire’s prescription had indeed cured his illness to a great extent. If it were in the past, this way of escape would have cost him half his life. Thinking of Claire’s medical skills, Jack felt both love and hatred in his heart.

However, she is Alex’s wife, and she is destined to stand against him. Then he looked at Anna in front of him. She was also the daughter of the Smith family, but her medical skills were worlds apart.

Jack’s eyes flashed with impatience. He looked at a body bag lying horizontally behind the man in the hat and said, "Anna, you made a big mess this time, so don’t worry about my body. The most worrying thing now is how to dispose of the old man’s body."

Seeing Jack’s expression, Anna couldn’t help but say, "Uncle, I told Dr. Sheila about this medicine before. There was only a 50% chance of bringing the old man back to life. Obviously, Mr. Miller belonged to the other 50%. It can only be said that he was unlucky, and you can’t blame me..."

"Okay." Hearing Anna’s light tone, Jack became even more irritable and interrupted, "Now that he’s dead, it’s useless to talk about it. If they take this corpse for an autopsy, we will die. At this point, we can only implement plan B."

Jack’s tone sank, his eyes nervously watching the man in the hat as he said, "Cole, what are your chances of success?"

Cole didn’t answer Jack’s question directly but instead laughed strangely. The sound was like the howling of ghosts and wolves, making one’s scalp tingle. Despite Jack’s usual composure, even he couldn’t help frowning. Just when Jack could bear it no longer, Cole hoarsely said, "If he’s just the young master of the Miller family, then I’m 100% sure that I can kill him!"

Hearing this, Jack’s heart suddenly sank. But Anna was not calm anymore and quickly interjected, "No, you can’t kill him. That’s the man I like! You just need to force him into a corner. At that time, he can only choose to seek my help. Uncle, isn’t that what we agreed on from the start?"

"Shut up!" Jack finally lost his patience and sternly reprimanded Anna. She was so frightened that her face turned pale, and she subconsciously took a step back, her eyes filled with grievance. Jack noticed but didn’t care about her reaction. Instead, he looked at Cole, flustered, and asked, "What do you mean he’s not just the young master of the Miller family?"
