Chapter 332
Josiah received the urgent news and rushed to the nursing home. His typically charming face was now clouded with concern, a stark contrast to his usual composed demeanor.
The director met him at the entrance. “Howard”
“Did they find her?” Howard replied coldly, cutting straight in the chase.
“Not yet… The director’s voice dropped instinctively.
Without a change in expression, Howard strode inside. Get her caregiver to meet me
Josiah thought, Why the caregiver said Rosie had suddenly lost control!
The nurse whispered nervously, Um. Howard, there’s someone in Ms. Miller’s room claiming to be her husband”
Howard thought, “What? He froze mid–step, his eyes narrowing
Without needing to ask, he knew exactly why Rosie had lost control.
He quickly made his way into Rosie’s room
“You all better hand over my wife! I’m telling you, this is kidnapping!”
Daniel shouted inside. He looked up and saw Howard enter.
“You “he stammered. “It’s you”
This was the guy who kept Rosie as a “mistress. Of course, Daniel had never taken that claim seriously, he knew Rosie wasn’t the type to be so easily swayed
But seeing Howard now made Daniel doubt himself. Could it be that Rosic really was with him?
Daniels
expression darkened. So, you’re the one who’s taken my wife? Hand her over if you know what’s good for your
“Taken” Howard said flatly, glaring at him. “Where’s your proof”
Daniel hesitated, his anger flaring. “Rosie is my wife! That’s all the proof I need!”
“That’s nonsense” Howard’s voice was icy and calm.
“Rosie’s a grown woman. She can choose where she wants to live. And you, with your history of abuse and infidelity, have no right to demand anydung from me.
He added a single word. ‘Scram”
Howard’s mind was solely focused on finding Rosie; he didn’t have time to waste on Daniel. He glanced at Hervey “Get him out of here.”
“Yes” Hervey nodded. He raised has hand, and the security staff flooded in quickly overpowering Daniel and dragging him out
“Let go of met Daniel yelled, struggling
og ineffectively.
Anger mixed with hsanallation twisted his features as he glared at Howard. “Who do you think you are? How dare you interfere with my wife!” Howard silently scoffed, “Shut him up”
“Ugh..” to the next moment, Daniel found himself speechless. After a moment, even the faint sounds of struggle faded away.
Howard closed his eyes
for a second and looked over at Hervey. “Turn the nursing home upside down, he instructedl

“Yes, sir, Hervey replied before heading off. All that was left now was to
ww was to wait.
The director and a few staff members had already searched high and low but hadn’t found anything
Howard rubbed his temples, thinking that Maybe Rosie has slipped out of the nursing home. The chances seem slim, but what if…
Bring some people and search the area around the nursing home, he ordered
“Yes, sir,” this time it was the director who answered.
Having done everything they could, Howard recalled the last time Rosie had disappeared. That time, she had gone to find Sienna.
He grabbed his phone and dialed Sienna’s number.
“Howard, Sienna answered quickly.
“Sienna, Howard hesitated, finding it hard to speak, but he forced the words out, “Did Rosic come by your place!”
Sienna paused, caught off guard. “No. why would you ask, Howard?”
Howard replied. “Rosie’s husband came to the nursing home today, and she got a bit upset. She ran away”
He didn’t want
in’t want to dwell on it any longer. “If she shows up at your place, let me know immediately”
“Ok” Sienna said, her voice a mix of worry and confusion after they hung up
She was concerned about Rosie, but what puzzled her was Howard’s reaction. She thought, Does he really care this much about Rosie! Is it just my imagination”
The sky darkened a little bit, Miranda came downstairs, ready to prepare for the family dinner.
Yvette was busy with Linda in the kitchen, while Josiah played with Bobby. Only Howard was still missing.
“What’s going on?” Miranda asked anxiously, glancing at Josiah. “Your brother went to the office, and it’s already so late. He might miss ner
“Don’t worry, Grandma, Josiah quickly reassured her. Ill check in on him.
“Make it fast” Miranda said with a smile. There’s no such thing as finishing work, especially during the holidays. Tell him to hurry back, we have to pay our respects tonight
We’ve got to make up for everything we missed last night”
“Okay, Josiah nodded, dialing Howard’s number.
“Howard, where are you! Are you heading home? Grandma’s getting anxious. Can you hurry up?”
Howard paused for a moment before replying, “I can’t make it back right now.”
“What?” Josiah’s heart sank. “What do you mean you can’t? What kind of problem could be so urgent today?”
*11l tell you later. I’m hanging up now.” Howard said quickly, ending the call.
“Howard!” Josiah exclaimed in disbelief, “What’s going on
Just as he was trying to process it all, he looked up to see Yvett
see Yvette watching him with a knowing smile. “I know where he is. Come with me, and III
Without waiting for a response, she turned and headed outside
Yvette, what’s going on?” Josiah called after her, confused. “Do you know what happened to Howard!”
“Yeah, she e smirked slightly, “just follow me, you’ll see.”

Chapter 332
Yvette hopped in her car and drove Josiah toward the South Jeiacrity Nursing Home.
As they got closer, Josiah started to piece things together, and his expression darkened. “Where are we going?”
Yvette glanced at him, her smile calm. “You’ll find out when we get there.”
The car stopped in front of the nursing home, and Josiah felt a knot of dread tighten in his stomach. He thought, ‘No way. Has Yvette figured our what was going on between Howard and Rosie?
With Howard at the nursing home. Yvette must’ve come here to confront him about it.
At the entrance, Sienna was busy registering her arrival. She had just finished a call with Howard, and still hadn’t heard from Rosie. Worry gnawed at her, so she decided to check on things herself.
Yvette pulled up next to her, rolling down the window. “You’re here too! Looks like I didn’t make a mistake coming here”
She said, gesturing to the back seat. “Hop in, it’ll save you a walk”
The nursing home was pretty big, and it would take time to reach Rosie’s Fooli
“Sienna” Josiah had already stepped out of the car and came over, taking her hand. “What brings you here?”
Sienna glanced at him, then at Yvette, and her thoughts flickered back to Rosic and Howard.
A shocking, melodramatic idea suddenly hit her. No way.
Inside the nursing home, Hervey rushed up to Howard, breathing a bit heavily. “Howard! We found her!”
At that Howard jumped to his feet, scanning behind Hervey with a furrowed brow. “Where is she?”
“Howard, you should go… bring her out. Ms. Miller doesn’t let anyone get close. The moment someone does, she starts crying Howard’s heart sank at the news. He nodded slowly. “Lead the
Tably”
“This way, Howard, Hervey said, leading Howard down the corridor. As Howard approached, disbelief washed over him at what lay ahead. Rosie
was there.
