“Adele wishes to go willingly?"

Shawn nodded, further adding, “Not only that, Adele even chose to sit beside Miss Edwards. She then even let her tend to her needs without resistance."

This revelation took Holden aback. He swiftly put aside his ongoing affairs and hastened back to the lounge. He was eager to see the person who had left such a profound impact on Adele.

Holden flung the door open, rapidly striding into the lounge, only to find a psychologist engaged in counseling Adele.

He knitted his brows. Not much time had passed since Shawn's departure, and all appeared well then. Why was Adele now undergoing psychological counseling?

“Where's Miss Ariana Edwards and Melon?" Shawn asked, astonishment tinting his voice.

“They have already left," the bodyguard responded.

“But weren't they meant to await Mr. Fredrick's return?" Shawn's brow creased slightly, perplexed by the situation. However, the bodyguard remained silent.

Holden cast a frosty glare at him and demanded, “What's the meaning of this?"

Under Holden's scrutiny, the bodyguard felt oppressed and was about to speak when Sadie came out of the next room.

Sadie had regained her composure as if nothing had happened. As she walked over to Holden, she looked innocent and worried.

"When I arrived, Adele was already having a seizure. I have no idea what happened," Sadie said nervously.

Holden cast an indifferent glance at her and asked, “Why are you here?"

With one hand resting on her chest, Sadie looked up at Holden, adopting a pitiful and vulnerable expression. She said in a voice so soft it was almost a whisper, "I felt uncomfortable being alone in the hospital, and I missed you and Adele. That's why I came."

As Sadie spoke, she attempted to move closer to Holden. However, he quietly avoided her. He walked over to Adele and crouched down to examine her.

Sitting on the sofa, Adele had already calmed down. The effects of the drug made her look lethargic, and her eyes were blinking incessantly.

When Adele let out a yawn, Sadie was quick to be motherly and caring.

“Adele looks tired. I'll take her to bed," she said at once.

Holden nodded in agreement, and watched Sadie take Adele to the innermost room.

Once Sadie's figure had disappeared, Holden turned his gaze to the bodyguard and said firmly, “Now, tell me what was really going on."
