    Chapter 286


    Ethan mmed the spoon he held onto the table and shouted, “What do you mean he has been


    taken?”


    Kelvin urgently said, “Mrs. Miller had dispatched extra guards to watch over Mr. Fordham about two


    weeks ago.


    “I didn’t really concern myself with it, but it would seem like she knew someone would go after Mr.


    Fordham.


    “There were already two groups of people in a gunfight when we arrived.


    Some nurses were injured in the crossfire. The hospital has temporarily stopped the news from


    spreading.


    “Where is Jeff?”


    “One of the groups took him. From my initial calctions, there were four different groups, including


    us.”


    Excluding Olivia’s hired muscle and Ethan’s men, another group would be The Toxic Hive.


    But the fourth group was unknown. It was uncertain which group took Jeff.


    Ethan noticed that Kelvin’s voice sounded a little feeble. He knew something was wrong. “Are you


    hurt?”


    Kelvin was holding his own arm tightly. Blood was seeping from his palm.


    He gritted his teeth and said, “It’s no big deal, Mr. Miller. It was my fault. I didn’t expect them to go so


    far.”


    He was not alone in thinking that. Ethan also didn’t expect such an intense situation to arise from an


    unconscious man like Jeff.


    Even a notorious international group was in on it.


    Ethan hung up the phone. It wasn’t a good sign that The Toxic Hive was operating within Aldenvine.


    This organization didn’t belong to any country in particr. Several of its members were death row


    prisoners on the run.


    The organization was characterized by its genius medical professionals and their boundless cruelty.


    They could sacrifice the lives of thousands just to test the results of their research.


    Most people stayed away from them. But there were also some people who were desperate to save


    thved ones. They would take the risk to deal with the devil.


    Many important businessmen and politicians from countries worldwide had ties to the organization to


    buy prohibited drugs from them.


    Ethan had no tolerance for a rogue organization like The Toxic Hive. He needed professionals to


    handle these people.


    The hospital was on lockdown. There was blood sttered everywhere, even on the ceilings.


    The fight over Jeff was vicious. The people had no care for the well-being of the civilians.


    Kelvin’s arm was injured because he tried to protect a nurse.


    “Mr. Miller, these people are so full of themselves. They had no regard for human life and shot up the


    hospital.”


    Ethan looked at the bullet holes in the door. His expression turned serious, “I can see that. How many


    casualties are there?”


    “Eight were killed, 24 critically injured, and 12 with minor wounds.”


    This could be considered an extremely serious security breach. The victims were told to keep the


    incident to themselves.


    No one was allowed in or out of the hospital.


    The officials kepting. A lot of the people on the scene were shocked. They had never experienced


    something so


    frightening.


    Jeff’s room was in the best condition. There wasn’t any blood spilled in there. His caregivers only


    received minor injuries.


    Ethan emerged from the security perimeter and entered the ward of Jeff’s caregiver.


    Ethan was meeting the caregiver for the first time.


    As the door opened, the caregiver looked towards the entrance with a respectful expression and bowed


    her head out of habit.” Sir, I’m fine, it’s just my foot… Y-you are… Mr. Miller?”Text ? by N0ve/lDrama.Org.


    The caregiver was intimidated. She had only been visited by the police and government officials.


    She didn’t know why a famous businessman would visit her. She thought he hade to the wrong


    room.


    It was already springtime, but Ethan’s presence seemed to bring along a chilling sensation.


    He nodded and signaled the caregiver to be at ease.


    Ethan carried himself with dignity. He said expressionlessly, “You don’t have to sit up. Just answer


    some of my questions.”


    The caregiver suddenly interjected, “You’re… Ms. Fordham’s ex-husband, right?”
