Chapter 18
Drew, who had been completely indifferent moments before, suddenly became tense and excited. He grabbed his assistant’s arm, asking repeatedly, “Where is she? Where’s Vanessa? Tell me quickly!”
“A mountain village in the southwest,” the assistant replied, feeling nauseated from Drew’s shaking.
Drew’s face lit up with joy as he strode toward the exit. Several shareholders tried to block his path.
Drew shockingly punched the nearest one to the ground. In his mind, only Vanessa mattered–everything else was irrelevant.
Drew left Blackstone Group and hurried to his car, racing to the airport.
He sped the entire way, running a yellow light at an intersection when he was struck by another vehicle also trying to beat the light. His Maybach was crushed against the guardrail, the seat pinning
his leg.
He desperately unbuckled his seatbelt, trying to pull his leg free, but the more he struggled, the tighter it became trapped.
Within minutes, his leg had swollen, blood soaking through his pants.
Fortunately, emergency services arrived quickly, freeing him from the car.
Before the paramedics could load him into the ambulance, he struggled down, limping forward
determinedly.
‘Don’t stop me! I need to find my wife!” Drew glared furiously at the medical personnel pursuing him, ordering them to step aside.
‘Sir, your leg requires immediate treatment, or you risk amputation,” a paramedic advised
earnestly.
Drew ignored them, continuing forward. His only thought was finding Vanessa.
Without Vanessa for over a year, each day felt like an eternity, leaving him unable to eat or sleep

properly.
“Baby, I’m coming for you,” Drew whispered.
The next second, he collapsed to the ground.
He tried several times to stand, but his strength had failed him. He had no choice but to let himself be taken to the hospital.
Drew refused to cooperate with treatment, only wanting to leave quickly to find Vanessa.
“Let me out! I need to find my wife!”
“Get away from me!”
“Don’t touch me!”
Drew repeatedly tried to get out of bed, only to collapse each time, then be carried back to bed again.
Drew’s mother arrived to find him behaving like a madman. With a dark expression, she ordered the doctors to sedate him and forcibly treat him.
rew was strapped to the bed, glaring fiercely at his mother, all his usual refinement gone.
‘Let me find Vanessa. What right do you have to let them tie me down?”
‘Mom, you couldn’t keep Dad, and now you want Vanessa to lose me too?”
Drew lost all reason, his words cutting straight to his mother’s deepest wound.
‘Let me find Vanessa!”
SLAP!
His mother struck him hard across the face, her eyes reddened as she looked at him. “Drew Blackstone, you’ve disappointed me completely. No one is stopping you from finding Vanessa–it’s your own failure.”
“Everything that’s happened is your doing. If you could be more rational, you wouldn’t have crashed

and wouldn’t need hospitalization. Your legs can’t support you–were you planning to crawl to find her?”
His mother trembled with anger, unable to stop herself from slapping him again. “If I’d known you would turn out like this, I would have stopped Vanessa from marrying you in the first place. Think about what you’ve done! I won’t interfere anymore!”
With that, his mother turned and left, slamming the door behind her.
Drew sat stunned, belatedly realizing he had hurt his mother.
From that day forward, Drew actively cooperated with his treatment. His legs healed better than
expected.
Soon, he could stand and move around.
The moment he was discharged, he set out to find Vanessa.
