Chapter 482 Three Hostages, Four Countries
When the doctor, who looked troubled, saw Isabelle, he greeted her as if she were a lifesaver, instantly feeling reassured. Then he promptly briefed Isabelle on the tricky situation with Danny.
Chase, noticing the doctor’s attitude towards Isabelle, also felt reassured.
Ario soon arrived. Under Isabelle’s direction, he helped with acupuncture, stopping bleeding, and protecting vital signs.
Isabelle juggled two tasks, staying cool and collected the whole time, assisting the chief surgeon and Arlo during the surgery.
In the room, the three quietly waited for Isabelle.
Dylan and his men arrived at the hospital, securing every floor.
On the other side, in the operating room, Jack waited outside Ethan’s surgery room.
Dylan patted Jack’s shoulder. “Don’t worry, everything will be fine.”
Jack clearly wasn’t in the mood to respond to Dylan.
Over an hour later, the operating room door opened, and Ethan was wheeled out and transferred to a regular ward.
Meanwhile, the surgery on Danny’s side was still ongoing. Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
Jack left Ethan’s ward and headed to the office of Ethan’s attending physician to inquire about the situation.
Before he could get there, Jack suddenly spotted a familiar figure.
His steps halted abruptly as he looked over in disbelief, staring blankly at the departing figure. “Boss …
Without a second thought, Jack immediately chased after.
Meanwhile, Isabelle was still busy overseeing the surgery, and George, who was closer, got a call from Dylan.
Trying not to interrupt Isabelle, George got up and moved away to take the call.
Isabelle glanced briefly at George as he walked off, not daring to lose focus, and immersed herself back into the surgery.
“Mr. George, Jack’s gone missing. I’m in the hospital’s control room. That guy chased after a pretty woman and bolted out of the hospital like he was possessed. Could it be the work of the Dark Shadow again?”
Dylan informed George.
A pretty woman?
George furrowed his brow. “Send me the surveillance footage.”

In the video, Jack spotted a woman with long hair and sunglasses who was tall and curvy.
Just her back view was enough to captivate anyone.
George’s heart raced as he watched the figure.

After finishing the video, he returned to the room and glanced at Isabelle, who was deep in surgery. His sense of unease grew rapidly.
Jim noticed George’s unease and thought, What happened?
Danny’s surgery lasted for over five hours, and with Isabelle’s assistance, they wrapped it up successfully.
Danny was then moved to the ICU.
Isabelle turned to Chase and said, “If anything unexpected happens, let me know immediately.”
Chase replied, “Sure thing. Want to go check on your brother?”
Chase then headed towards Ethan’s ward.
Arriving at the ward, they only found Dylan there, while Ethan remained unconscious.
Chase asked, “Where’s Jack? Isn’t he supposed to be here?”
Dylan shook his head. “I don’t know.”
Before Dylan could say anything else, Isabelle, upon hearing his response, immediately turned to George.
George said, “Jack’s gone missing.”
Isabelle furrowed her brows slightly.
George handed his phone to Isabelle. “Dylan sent me a surveillance clip. Take a look.”
When Isabelle saw the woman in the surveillance video, her gaze briefly turned cold before she gave a slight tug at the corner of her mouth.
Noticing Isabelle’s reaction, both Yves and Jim approached.
With just a glance, they both recognised who the figure was.
They looked at Isabelle in surprise.
“We messed up. We couldn’t capture Ethan, but we did capture Isabelle’s right–hand man.” Jacques reported to the Dark Shadow leader on the screen. “This person also has a special relationship with her.”
Joker said, “Bring him back.”
Jacques responded, “Yes.”
Isabelle’s phone suddenly received an unknown video call invitation, clearly the work of a hacker. But the other party’s skills were no match for hers. She was unable to breach her firewall and force a video call.
Unable to forcefully engage in a video call with her Isabelle’s finger moved and che accented the call

The Joker’s face, obscured by glitchy pixels, appeared on the screen. “Here we are again.” His voice altered.
Joker looked Isabelle up and down. “You seem to have recovered quite well. Quite disappointing, really.”
Yves was about to step forward and confront the Shadow leader, but Isabelle stopped him with a raised
hand.
Isabelle didn’t bother with small talk. “Am I coming to find you, or are you coming to find me?”
Joker said, “Lanovia, Nigerlore, Delhiara, Kangaview. Guess where I’ve hidden them?”
Isabelle’s face remained unreadable.
Joker said, “I’m a reasonable person. I’ll let your three friends help you rescue them.”
It was clear he wanted to send Yves, Jim, and George away.
Three hostages, four countries. Spread it out to make it difficult.
