Chapter 892
The two men looked at each other and did not speak. For a moment, the atmosphere in the room seemed to be frozen.
At this moment, Carlos rushed in, reporting, “Mr. Youngblood, Mr. Burton has been admitted to the hospital. The doctor has done a gastric lavage, and it’s suspected that he might have been fed a small dose of sleeping pills. However, we’ll need to ask Yvette for the details. Additionally, we’ve located Zachary, but he’s severely injured.”
In other words, were they to save him or not?
After all, there was no extra money to save Zachary with the current power of the Xanthos family. Moreover, Zachary was now a kidnapper, and there did not seem to be any value in saving him.
However, Jonathan declared coldly, “Save him. I want Zachary alive.”
Carlos shuddered, and he instantly understood Jonathan’s intention. Jonathan wanted Zachary to remain alive and then go to prison for the rest of his life.
Thinking this way, perhaps death would be a form of liberation for Zachary.
Just then, Carlos’ phone suddenly rang. Carlos answered the call and his expression changed. “What? Are you saying that Ms. Youngblood is missing? How did she go missing? Wasn’t she being watched by so many people? Alas… You’ve found her? Okay, I understand.”
A moment later, Carlos ended the call and explained under Jonathan’s burning gaze, “Well… The person in charge of looking after Ms. Youngblood reported that she had evaded surveillance, snuck off by herself, and disappeared for a period of time. However, they managed to find her eventually. Ms. Youngblood is safe and sound.”
Jonathan snorted coldly and uttered, “There are so many people watching over a five-year-old girl, yet they somehow still let her sneak out. Furthermore, they only reported it after finding her. Why? If they hadn’t found her, were they planning to keep it a secret forever?”
Carlos was drenched in cold sweat, and he could almost foresee that even if they had safely located her, those who were responsible for taking care of her were in for a rough time.
Carlos added cautiously, “But… Ms. Youngblood evaded surveillance and went missing. This must have something to do with Guillermo.”
“Guille helped Jen because they have a strong sibling bond. Why? Can this be used as a reason for those people to escape punishment?” Jonathan asked.
Carlos couldn’t help but grouse internally, “Isn’t Mr. Youngblood showing favoritism in a way?” “Since Jen has been found now, assign additional personnel to watch over them. If anything were to happen to these kids, they should be prepared to face a fate worse than death!” Jonathan stated coldly,
Carlos hurriedly agreed and then asked, “However, Yvette’s son, Felix, was found with Ms. Youngblood. Mr. Youngblood, how do you plan to deal with that child?”
Jonathan mused, “Yvette’s son?”
Jonathan couldn’t help but furrow his brow. He thought, “How did Jen end up with that child? Back at the exhibition, Jen had some entanglement with that child over the piano, but I didn’t think much
of it at the time. Now, if this child is indeed Yvette’s flesh and blood…” Jonathan then said, “Hand

him over to the police and let them follow the proper procedures. Don’t let Jen have too much contact with that child.”
Even though the other party was just a child, he did not want to put his own child in any possible danger.
“Yes,” Carlos answered. He then picked up his phone again and gave instructions to his
subordinates.
Jonathan’s gaze landed on Calvin, who was not far away. He suddenly asked, “Why did you appear there so coincidentally today?”
Calvin calmly looked back at Jonathan. “Are you suspecting that I had a hand in that matter?”
“I know you didn’t. I just want to know the reason,” Jonathan responded.
Calvin pursed his thin lips. Even if he did not disclose the reason now, the police would eventually find out, and Jonathan would learn the truth sooner or later.
“The production company under Gunner Group required an excessive quantity of gunpowder for their film crew, and it was an amount far beyond any film crew would require/I randomly got someone to look into it, and I unexpectedly found out about Yvette’s former fervent fan. From there, I traced it back to Yvette. I originally planned to inform the police once I had her exact whereabouts. However, I didn’t expect…”
“You didn’t expect Yvette’s matter to exceed your expectations, did you?” Jonathan remarked sarcastically.
Calvin pursed his lips and remained silent. He actually knew about the explosive’s being transported up the mountain long before. Calvin was just curious about what Yvette wanted to do with them, so he secretly went up the mountain, only to unexpectedly see Yvette, Zachary, and Zekiah.
From their conversation, he realized that Zekiah was the child that Rosalie and Jonathan had been searching for until now.
Calvin initially planned to wait for the perfect time to rescue Zekiah, but the rapid turn of events caught him off guard. He never expected Yvette to factor Zachary into her plans as well.
“I know that you have saved Rosie and Zeki today. I’ll repay this favor,” Jonathan’s cold voice continued.
Calvin suddenly chuckled lightly. “There’s no need for you to repay my favor of saving Rosalie and Zeki.” In fact, Rosalie had already repaid his favor a long time ago, if they were to talk about repaying the debt.
It was more than enough for him when Rosalie clung to his hand so tightly when the mountain was collapsing and refused to let go.
“Calvin, Rosalie is my wife!” Jonathan’s tone was icy, laced with a touch of hostility.
Calvin’s lips curled into a mocking smile. “So what? Jonathan, I’ve never cared whether Rosalie is your wife or not!”
Calvin chose to step aside because he understood that the person Rosalie loved was not him.
No matter how hard he tried, Rosalie’s heart had always belonged to Jonathan, both five years ago and even now.
But today, it was enough for him that Rosalie had held onto him at the risk of her hands and refused-

to let go.
Calvin thought, “I will probably remember this moment for the rest of my life. I will remember the woman I love was willing to save me like that, even though she will never love me back.”
As Calvin spoke, he looked down at his right hand. His left hand then gently stroked his right wrist.
His life had been saved by Rosalie at the expense of her hands. Calvin was willing to stake his very existence for her for the rest of his life.
If Rosalie ever needed Calvin to risk his life on her behalf in the future, he would be willing to do so wholeheartedly.
Upon observing Calvin’s current actions, Jonathan’s expression immediately darkened. “It doesn’t mean anything, even if Rosie saved you today. It’s merely because you saved her and Zeki first.”
