Return of the Lost Heiress

Chapter 1700

In the nearby patient ward, someone faintly heard Caroline's shout but dismissed it.

As soon Caroline was dragged back into the hidden passage, the door shut tightly behind her.

The foreign doctor released his grip on her. "Why couldn't you just do your job and stay at your station? You just had to come to the pharmacy, huh? You Cascadians are really too curious for your own good."

He grabbed a syringe from a nearby tray and walked toward her. "But since you're here, I'll give you a front-row seat to experience our experiments' results. Foolish Cascadians!" He laughed maniacally.

Caroline trembled, her face pale with terror.

It would have at least been worth it even if she got caught after she had shouted a couple more words to raise an alarm. But now, not only had she been captured, but she hadn't managed to warn anyone. She felt utterly helpless, a lamb trapped in the wolf's den.

Meanwhile, Wynter was in Colifernia to "meet Dalton's family".

Theo had chosen a renowned local banquet hall for the occasion. The place was famous for its desserts, which often required long queues t reserve a table.

Colifernia had always been a place full of charm, with a strong emphasis on its culinary culture. The meticulously crafted desserts resembled works of art, enriching the locals' everyday lives.

A pot of tea, paired with dishes like shrimp croquettes, lobster ravioli, empanaditas, and black pepper glazed short ribs, could make for a leisurely morning filled with conversation.

Aside from that, there were the meat pies with their rich blend of cheese and butter flavors. One bite of it was enough to leave a lingering aroma in your mouth, bringing immense satisfaction. Pair it all with a warm cup of tea, and it would feel like a heavenly experience.

The place was steeped in the warmth of everyday life. With its long history, the decor largely retained its original look. The staff was quick and efficient, and despite its grandeur, the atmosphere was welcoming and unpretentious.

It was in this setting that Theo had arranged to meet Wynter. If not for the row of bodyguards standing conspicuously behind him, his identity might have remained discreet.

However, Theo ensured that he didn't disturb the other diners. After all, he owned this business. He had merely cleared out an area for the occasion, turning it into a private family gathering.

As soon

Wynter entered, Theo stood up with a warm smile. "Wynter, we meet again."

Wynter chuckled softly. "You seem even healthier than the last time I saw you."
