Meanwhile, at No. 1 Mansion.
The grand villa was cold and quiet.
Damien carried a bowl of noodles he had personally made and went upstairs. Rick was still sitting by the window, staring in the direction of the front gate.
The small figure looked lonely and helpless.
Damien felt a pang in his heart and walked over. “Rick, eat your noodles first.”
Rick didn’t move, his eyes still fixed on the gate.
Damien placed the bowl of noodles on the small table in front of him.
“If you don’t eat, Mommy will be sad.”
Only then did a flicker of light appear in Rick’s empty eyes. He looked at Damien and asked,
“Do you think Mommy will know?”
“She will. A mother and child are connected by heart. She’ll know what you’re thinking, even that you’re not eating.”
“Then… if I miss her, will she know that too?”
“…She will.”
“Then if she knows I miss her, why won’t she come back to see me?”
Damien felt a pang of sorrow. Yes, that heartless woman… her son missed her so much, so why hadn’t she returned yet? Where the hell did she go?
Why wouldn’t she come see Rick?
Why wouldn’t she come see him?
“Is it because she doesn’t like me?” Rick asked sadly.
Damien immediately shook his head. “No. She must love you very much.”
“Then why won’t she come back if she knows I miss her?”
Damien, holding back his sorrow, gently patted Rick’s small head.

“… Maybe something is holding her back and she can’t come for now.”
“You mean… she’s in danger?”
Before Damien could answer, Rick suddenly jumped up and ran toward the door.
Damien quickly grabbed him. “Rick, where are you going?”
“I’m going to find Mommy! Mommy must be in danger… I have to save her!”
“Rick, don’t let your thoughts run wild. She’s not in danger.”
“Let go of me! I have to find her… Mommy’s been captured by bad guys! I must save her! Let go, let go! No one can hurt my mommy!”
“Rick!”
It was so late… Damien didn’t dare let him go out. He clutched Rick’s arm tightly.
“Rick, calm down!”
But Rick didn’t calm down. He suddenly became manic and bit down hard on Damien ‘s wrist.
Damien instinctively released his grip, and Rick darted for the door.
Damien rushed to block it.
Seeing he couldn’t get out, Rick became even more agitated.
He began smashing things… decorations, pillows, blankets, the clock on the nightstand, clothes from the wardrobe.
Even the bowl of noodles Damien had just brought.
He threw what he could, smashed what he could.
Still not satisfied, he picked up a fork from the floor and stabbed toward his own wrist.
Damien was terrified and rushed to embrace him. “Rick!”
Rick struggled violently, trying to break free. When he couldn’t, he started screaming.
“Ah! Ah! Ah!”
Each scream more furious than the last.
His whole body trembled, teeth grinding with an audible clack clack.

After struggling for a while, Rick suddenly fainted.
Damien’s pupils shrank. “Rick!”
He picked him up and ran downstairs. The old butler was startled,
“Sir, what happened to the young master?”
“Call Glenn. prepare the car… we’re going to the hospital, now!”
After more than half an hour at the hospital, Rick’s condition finally stabilized.
Glenn wiped a cold sweat from his forehead.
“He’s okay now. Luckily you brought him in early.”
Damien sat by the bed, looking at Rick’s pale little face, his heart aching unbearably.
Glenn said, “Rick’s condition is getting worse. This can’t go on. Damien, are you sure you don’t want to let Miss Willow try? I still think she might be the key… maybe she can unlock the knot in Rick’s heart.”
Damien furrowed his brows and thought for a moment.
“Wait a little longer. Arrange someone else to take care of Rick for now.”
He hadn’t fully investigated her yet. He didn’t feel safe.
Rick was his life. He couldn’t allow anyone with potential danger near him.
Willow had too many suspicious points. He didn’t dare use her so easily.
Glenn didn’t know exactly what Damien was waiting for and didn’t press further. He could only nod helplessly.
“Oh right… Nancy is also in the hospital. Her hand and leg are both injured. The leg bone is broken.”
Damien : “…What happened?”
“Heard she was beaten up.”
As soon as Glenn finished speaking, Damien ‘s phone rang… it was Nancy.
“Damien, I just heard Rick is at the hospital. What happened? Is it serious? Did he relapse again? I’m also at the hospital right now. I want to go see him, but the doctor won’t let me get out of bed. I’m so worried… I could die from worry.”

Hearing her insincere concern, Damien was irritated. He suppressed his anger and said,
“… He’s fine now. You don’t need to come. Focus on recovering.”
“So you already know I’m injured? Damien, can you come see me?”
A trace of annoyance flashed in Damien ‘s eyes, but he still agreed.
“I’ll come over in a bit.”
After giving Glenn a few instructions, Damien stood up and went to see Nancy.
As soon as she saw him, her eyes turned red and tears streamed down.
“Damien, how is Rick? I’m really so worried about him.”
Damien ignored her tears and sat down.
“You don’t need to worry about Rick. Just take care of yourself.”
Nancy wiped her tears.
“Damien … have you fallen for that woman?”
“Who?”
“The one who kissed you at the bar today.”
Damien frowned.

Nancy, eyes red, said:
“You never used to let women near you. Not even shoulder–to–shoulder. Aside from me, no woman has ever stood that close to you. But today, you let her kiss you…”
Willow’s kiss flashed through Damien ‘s mind, his expression darkened, and his tone turned cold.
“That was an accident.”
