Chapter 79: His Own Network
At the hospital, the doctor treated Sonya’s wound. Henry insisted on holding her, offering
comfort.
Sonya felt a little embarrassed. As a doctor, she usually found such behavior a bit dramatic. But she did want to be held, to be cared for.
She still pushed him away because she recognized the doctor treating her. She couldn’t be seen like this by an acquaintance.
Henry, sulking, leaned against the doorframe, watching her intently.
Her injury was serious enough to require hospitalization. She was admitted to a VIP room. Henry wanted to book the entire floor, but she stopped him.
“I have some things to take care of. I’ll be back tonight,” Henry said, kissing her nose. Exhausted from the ordeal, Sonya was nearly asleep.
“Mmm.”
“Say “Husband.”
Sonya blushed, her eyes fluttering open. Seeing his mischievous grin, she kicked him.
“Be good, say it again.”
“One hundred million?” she raised an eyebrow.
“I’ll give you everything I have.”
Sonya was completely smitten.
“Husband,” she whispered.
Henry’s gaze deepened.
“Am I being a bit… predatory toward a patient?”
“You’re a beast!”
After Henry left, Sonya couldn’t sleep, worried about Lily Lane. She asked a nurse, who checked and confirmed that Lily Lane was on the floor below.
She opened the door slowly and saw Lily Lane lying motionless on the bed. Lily Lane was awake, but her eyes were vacant. Sonya remembered seeing the smoking man zipping up his pants…
“Lily.”
Sonya bent down, taking Lily Lane’s hand and squeezing it tightly.
Lily Lane flinched, regaining her composure, looking at Sonya with fear, then guilt.
“Sonya, you…”
I’m fine!” Sonya said quickly. “Henry arrived in time. They didn’t… they didn’t do anything to me.” Lily Lane visibly relaxed, but seeing Sonya’s forehead wound, she felt intense guilt.
“I’m sorry. It’s my fault.”
Sonya shook her head and pulled up a chair. “It’s just a small wound. Are… are you okay?” Lily Lane forced a smile, but it broke Sonya’s heart.
Lên fine. They didn’t do anything to me?
“That’s good.”
Sonya wanted to smile to reassure her, but tears welled up instead. She squeezed Lily Lanes hand tightly.
“Lily, Henry will take care of things. It’s over. Let’s forget this Let’s team fresh day?
‚“Okay… okay.”
Sonya knew it wouldn’t be easy. This would be a lifelong trauma for Lily Late
“Sonya.”
“Yes?
“Hug me. I want to sleep, but I’m afraid to close my eyes?
Sonya went to the other side of the bed and hugged Lily Lane from behind “Sleep. I’m here.”
Lily Lane trembled and cried.
After making sure Lily Lane was asleep, Sonya left. Jake Parker was sitting in the hallway, his face buried in his hands.
Sonya patted his shoulder.
He looked up, his eyes red. He took a few deep breaths before speaking
Sonya sighed, seeing his red eyes.“Spend as much time with Lily as you can these next few days”
Jake Parker nodded. I’ve asked Leo Jones to take care of the bar. I’ll be here with her.”
“She’s terrified.”
I know.”
“Bro Jake, she…”
I know.”
Jake Parker couldn’t hold back, wiping his tears and punching the wall I hate my helplessness. If I could have helped her pay off her debt sooner. Sonya patted his shoulder. He was just her ex–boyfriend; he didn’t owe her anything “Don’t blame yourself. You didn’t do anything wrong. As friends, we need to be there for her.” Just as Sonya returned to her room, Jason Reynolds and Reynolds Hui arrived. “You didn’t tell Uncle and Grandma, right?”
“No. Uncle specifically told us not to, Jason Reynolds said.
Sonya was relieved. It was better to keep this from her elders.
“Aunt Ella, Reynolds Hui hugged her.“It’s okay. Don’t be afraid. It’s over. Sonya was touched. “Thank you.”
“Uncle will teach them a lesson. Don’t worry.
“Mm–hm.”

Sonya was still uneasy. “They said their boss’s surname is Hu, and he has a grudge against Henry
Should Uncle be careful?”
Jason Reynolds settled into a sofa, smiling. Don’t worry. No one in Cloud City dares to touch
Uncle.”
Sonya nodded. “How did you find me so quickly?”
It had only been ten hours from the kidnapping to their rescue. They had been taken to a ‘secluded, dilapidated area.
“It was only three hours,” Jason Reynolds said, his eyes wide with disbelief.“Uncle said he was supposed to have dinner with you. He couldn’t reach you. He thought your phone was dead, but he rushed home, found you weren’t there.”
“That’s when he realized something was wrong and contacted your friends. He also called me. knew you were missing and met up with Uncle. Luckily, Leo Jones said you went to see Lily Lane. We went to her place. Leo Jones had a spare key, and the apartment was in chaos.” “We checked the security footage and saw you being taken away by four men. That’s when we knew something was wrong.”
Sonya frowned.“But how did he know who those guys were and where they took us?” “Uncle made a phone call.”
“Huh?”
Jason Reynolds shrugged. “Ten minutes later, they sent an address. We went there, and we found
you.”
One phone call?
The Reynolds family’s influence in Cloud City is undeniable. But honestly, finding you in such a short time… even using all the Reynolds family’s resources, it’s impossible.” Sonya understood Jason Reynolds’s shock.“You mean Henry didn’t use the Reynolds family’s
resources?”
Jason Reynolds shook his head.“No.”
Sonya bit her lip. Henry had his own network, a powerful, clandestine one. After Jason Reynolds and Reynolds Hui left, Sonya lay in bed, thinking about the blood on Henry’s chin.
She noticed a shadow outside her door, as if someone was watching her,
