"Nate, what happened to my grandson?" Old Man Xu grabbed Nathan's shoulders, shaking his body as he questioned him. Old Man Xu didn't hear what the driver said since Nathan snatched the phone from him.

Nathan was still in a daze, trying to absorb the information he received.

"Dad, come with me…" Nathan simply said as he walked toward the door.

Old Man Xu followed Nathan urgently. The two entered the car. Upon leaving the entrance gate of the Xu Mansion, Nathan sped off, heading to the hospital.

As he focused on his driving, he requested Old Man Xu to send an emergency message to Axel and others, summoning everyone in the headquarters.

It did not take long before they reached their destination. As they entered the hospital lobby, the family driver approached Nathan and Old Man Xu.

"Chairman Xu, Master Nathan!"

Nathan and Old Man Xu glanced at the driver. They were both surprised to see a young girl standing next to him.

"Mia? What is she doing here?" Nathan asked the driver.

Mia stepped forward, grabbing Nathan's hand. Her eyes were red from crying.

"Uncle Nathan. I'm so sorry. Ethan protected me. And… he was taken away by Aunt Helena and her men. I managed to escape because of Ethan's help." Mia explained, feeling apologetic. She blamed herself for what happened.

Both Nathan and Old Man Xu clenched their fists when they learned who was the culprit. It was none other than Monica.

"She kidnapped my grandson! We have to find them as soon as possible. That woman is a devil witch. She will not hesitate to harm a child! Ethan's life is in great danger." Old Man Xu was panicking. Monica threatened him before. She told him that after dealing with him, she would target Ethan next. And it really did happen.

"I'm going to catch her and save my son," Nathan declared through his gritted teeth. After saying that, he crouched down and talked to Mia. "Aren't you hurt? Did you call Jane?"

Mia shook her head. "I wasn't hurt, Uncle Nate, thanks to Ethan and his bodyguard. Mr. Bodyguard was the one who was shot. He is still in the operating room." Mia lowered her head and continued, "I haven't told Mommy Jane yet. I don't want her to worry. And… I don't know how I will tell her about what happened to Ethan. She also cares so much about him."

Nathan's expression turned grim. He knew that Jane would be affected by this.

'What is Monica up to? She even involved innocent children in her evil schemes.' Nathan thought to himself.

Old Man Xu summoned the driver as they talked separately. He asked him to narrate everything he witnessed before Ethan was taken away.

Meanwhile, Nathan guided Mia to the bench. He decided to talk to the young girl and asked her about the details of her encounter with Monica.

"Uncle Nate… the truth is… I ran away from home. I learned something about my identity. Mommy Jane is not my biological mother. My daddy deceived both of us."

Mia decided to reveal the truth to Nathan because she knew that Jane loved this man, not her Daddy Vincent. 'Uncle Nate deserves to know the truth.'

Nathan was taken aback for a moment when he heard Mia's revelation.

"How is that possible? Your DNA matched Jane's DNA."

Mia shook her head as she was also clueless.

"I don't know, Uncle Nate. But Mommy Jane mentioned that her baby is a boy, not a girl."

"Is that the reason you ran away from home?" Nathan asked her.

Mia nodded. "I'm sad because Mommy Jane isn't my mother. I was afraid she would hate me because Daddy Vincent used me to force her to marry him."

Nathan took a deep sigh. "Jane will never hate you."

"Ethan told me the same thing. I'm sorry, Uncle Nate. I think Aunt Helena is after me. It's my fault. If I hadn't run away and if I hadn't contacted Ethan… he wouldn't have been taken away by Aunt Helena."

"Stop blaming yourself, Mia. You have nothing to do with this. That woman is just evil and dangerous. She is the one to blame. But  don't worry. I will save my son no matter what."

"You have to go home. Your Mommy Jane must be looking for you right now. And she is worried sick. I'll call her and inform her that you are here."

"Okay, Uncle Nate. Thank you so much. Again, I'm truly sorry for what happened. Please save Ethan." Mia grabbed his hand tightly, a pleading look flashing on her face.

"I will. Mia, I have one request. Please don't tell Jane about Ethan. Just like you, I don't want her to worry." Nathan asked Mia to hide Ethan's abduction from Jane.

"Why, Uncle Nate? Don't you want her to help you rescue Ethan?" Mia asked him in confusion.

"I can also ask my Daddy Vincent to help you. If you help each other, you can find Ethan as quickly as possible." Mia was against the idea of hiding this from Jane. And she even suggested working together with Vincent.

But Nathan was prideful enough to ask Vincent's help. He wouldn't do that.

"Honestly, I can't trust Vincent… that's why I will deal with this problem myself. And… I also want to protect Jane. I can't involve her." Nathan made up his mind. He would keep this incident from Jane. "Okay, Uncle Nate. I will respect your decision. Please make sure to rescue Ethan. But if you need help… Please don't hesitate to ask Mommy Jane and Daddy Vincent's assistance. They could be of help."

Nathan just gave her a reassuring smile. "Yeah. I will do that. Thanks, Mia."

After talking to Mia, Nathan had decided what his next move would be. He would focus on rescuing Ethan first before taking Jane back from Vincent.

Since he couldn't contact Jane directly, Nathan asked the family driver and some of the bodyguards to send Mia home. They must escort her and secure her safety.

Meanwhile, Monica had managed to bring Ethan to her secret hideout. She was rejoicing as she watched the unconscious child lying on the bed.

"Hmm, now, I have the trump card. I will destroy you, Phantomflake. I know you will not hesitate to save this child, especially once I reveal the truth of your connections. I will reunite you. But in the end, you are going to die in my hands. Hahaha!"
