Chapter 1399 - 1398: Remembering Where I Saw the Dark Emperor
Arriving at the ward, Nia Mitchell sensed the suffocating atmosphere belonging to the hospital.
On the phone, Maxwell Peary only mentioned that Owen Lewis was slightly injured, but she didn’t expect it to be this severe.
Looking at Owen Lewis in his current state, Nia Mitchell widened her eyes.
"How exactly did he get hurt?"
Nia Mitchell was very curious; it seemed quite serious.
"Was it a car accident?"
In her view, only a car accident in this world could cause such severe injuries.
"It’s nothing serious, just need some time to recuperate."
Owen Lewis immediately spoke.
But as soon as he said this, Annie Davidson’s voice came through.
"This isn’t serious? Then what exactly is considered serious in your world?"
Annie Davidson frowned, speaking in a very loud voice.
Hearing her say this, Owen Lewis smiled slightly.
Watching them talk like this, Nia Mitchell could sense that there’s emotion between them.
She smiled and turned to sit next to Maxwell Peary, but happened to see a photo of Leon Blackwood on his phone.
"Wait!"
Nia Mitchell furrowed her brow and leaned in front of the CEO immediately.
"What’s wrong?"
It was a side profile photo of Leon Blackwood, his gaze still emanating a chilling killing aura.
An image instantly flashed through Nia Mitchell’s mind.
"I remember where I’ve seen this man before."
Nia Mitchell suddenly slapped her own forehead.
Maxwell Peary’s first reaction upon seeing her like this wasn’t to ask where she had seen Leon Blackwood, but to immediately grab her little hand.
"How can you hit yourself? Does it hurt?"
Maxwell Peary’s heart softened instantly, as he pried open her fingers to examine her palm.
Her palm was a bit red.
So is her head hurting?
Everyone watched Maxwell Peary’s actions, eyes wide open.
They knew before that Maxwell Peary was fond of Nia Mitchell, but no one expected it to be to this extent.
Seeing her now, it’s like he fears she’ll dissolve in his mouth or shatter in his hands.
This Maxwell Peary, no one had truly seen him like this.
It seems Maxwell Peary really has found a weakness this time.
"Uncle, do you remember when I told you I thought I saw my mom?"
"Yes, I remember."
"On the car where I saw my mom, this man was sitting."
No wonder she felt the side profile looked familiar.
No wonder she felt she’d seen it but couldn’t remember.
It was all just a fleeting glimpse.
Upon hearing Rabina Mitchell say this, Maxwell Peary immediately furrowed his brow.
She saw her mother-in-law? The key point is the mother-in-law was in the same vehicle as Leon Blackwood.
"Are you sure you didn’t see wrong?"
Maxwell Peary confirmed.
Nia Mitchell furrowed her brow, thinking for a long time.
"I don’t know if I saw my mom wrong, but I’m sure I didn’t see this man wrong."
After all, she had been separated from her mom for so long with only a photo by her side.
So she couldn’t be sure if that person was truly her mom.
But she’s certain about the fleeting glimpse of Leon Blackwood.
"Alright, I understand."
Maxwell Peary sat there, very serious, suddenly tense.
He was suddenly afraid that something massive might be drawn out from behind Nia Mitchell, leaving him defenseless.
He thought he was strong enough, but facing Leon Blackwood, he started feeling a sense of danger.
Now that Rabina Mitchell is somehow connected to this man, it makes one...
"I’ll take you home. I need to go out later."
