This news truly brought joy to the whole family. Blake was also arranged to stay in the hospital. There was someone by his side every day, though it was mostly Olivia, Eugene, and Hector. In this situation, they had to run between the hospital and the clinic.
Blood Rose was still cunning and hadn’t shown herself yet. Nonetheless, Eugene didn’t mind letting her run free a bit longer. However, he worried that the woman might launch a sudden attack on the hospital, which.
would be detrimental to Olivia and the children. After all, they were in the light, while Blood Rose was in the dark. So, he had to allocate a portion of the personnel investigating Blood Rose to protect the safety of his family.
For example, Kyle and Shannon had been making their rounds at the hospital. Nonetheless, Blood Rose was sly and cunning. She also knew the location of the hospital, and Eugene was also worried about Ellen and the children. So, Jewel and Alex also decided to stay just in case.
He even assigned two bodyguards to protect the donor named Mason in secret, for fear of any accidents. He had considered all the dangers he could think of. Alas, three days later, something terrible happened.
For the past few days, Mason had been coming to the hospital every morning for mobilization injections. As the morning passed without him. showing up, they started to think that something was amiss. It wasn’t until they tried calling him and he didn’t answer that Olivia began to realize that something had happened.
So, she immediately told Eugene about it when she returned. He also noticed that this was definitely fishy and immediately called the two bodyguards who were secretly protecting Mason.
The two bodyguards had been guarding outside Mason’s house and hadn’t entered his house. They answered Eugene’s call and were a bit puzzled. “We’ve been outside his house the whole time and haven’t seen him leave.”
Eugene’s voice came cold and stern. It was so cold that it was as though winter had arrived early. “Go in and check on him.”
The two bodyguards didn’t dare to delay and hung up the phone. Then, they headed straight to Mason’s home. Alas, no matter how hard they knocked on the door, there was no response from Mason.
As they were worried that something had happened, they didn’t hesitate to break down the door in their haste to ensure that Mason was all right.
Inside the room, there weren’t any signs of struggle. The bedroom doors were closed, and the kitchen was clean and tidy, not resembling a crime scene.
The two men began their search separately when they did not see anyone after they barged in unannounced. The slightly chubby bodyguard went to the bathroom, while the slender one went to the bedroom.
When the bedroom door was pushed open, the slender bodyguard felt slightly uncomfortable for a moment. The curtains were drawn, and the room was rather dark.
Naturally, he glanced at the bed but didn’t see Mason. Yet, the window was open, and there was a gust of wind blowing in from time to time.
As he had entered the room cautiously, a gust of wind lifted the curtains, and he saw Mason sitting in a chair. He had his hoodie pulled over his head, and his head was drooping, as if he were sleeping.
The slender bodyguard was startled as he wondered why Mason wasn’t on the bed but sitting in a chair. He couldn’t help but find it suspicious as he called out to Mason, “Hey, why haven’t you been answering the door?”
There was still no response from Mason. The slender bodyguard immediately realized that something was wrong and called out for the other bodyguard. The chubby bodyguard rushed over, and the two of them took a couple of steps toward Mason.
It was then that they noticed the varying shades. of black on his black hoodie. Despite the open window, they could still smell a faint trace of blood.
“Hey, wake up- the slender bodyguard called out again. Mason remained motionless and his head was still lowered.
The slender bodyguard pushed Mason’s head with his hand, and with that push, Mason’s head tilted a full 180 degrees backward. The bodyguard was fortunate that he had not knocked Mason’s head off with that action.
“Ah!”
The slender bodyguard was frightened as he jumped back in shock and retreated over two meters. The chubby bodyguard was also startled and staggered backward in his astonishment.
That was when they noticed a thin but deep ligature mark on Mason’s neck, almost severing his throat. In fact, his whole body was covered in blood, which had flowed down from his neck and stained everything red.
His face was deathly pale, and his eyes were bulging out of their sockets in his death. He clearly did not die in peace.
