Chapter 430 Sudden Call From M Country
Arriving at the hospital, Scarlett couldn''t meet her uncle as he was taken to the intensive care unit and had to undergo numerous tests. After several hours, Scarlett finally got a chance to see him. However, she could only do so from outside the intensive care unit.
Peering through the wide ss window, Scarlett saw her uncle lying in the hospital bed, connected to various strange devices strapped to his chest and with IVs inserted into his hands, delivering various fluids into his body.
"Xander, is he going to be okay?" Scarlett asked anxiously. "And why are there so many strange things attached to his body?"
He nced at her lovingly while cing his hand on her shoulder.
"Uncle Noah was detained underground for several months with very unhealthy air cirction. He was also physically abused, and they found traces of drugs in his body..." He exined everything to Scarlett, rying the information he heard from the head doctor who treated Noah Withers.
Scarlett''s fists clenched as she heard Xander''s exnation. She could imagine the kind of torment her uncle had endured in thest few months. Her eyes blurred as she looked at his pale face, praying to God for him to recover soon.
"I feel sad for him," she said softly.
"You don''t have to worry too much; Uncle Noah will get well soon. I have asked the best doctors to treat him here, and if there are no suitable experts, we can even send him to M Country for the best medical treatment there..." Xander continued, gently squeezing her shoulder, trying tofort her.
"Hmm, if necessary, we can have Grandpa Robert take care of him too!" Scarlett replied, her mind already making ns.
After she finished here, she intended to return to Country W to pick up Carter and bring him to Country M. She would stay there until Carter recovered. Also, it would be even better if her uncle Noah went there to receive direct care from Grandpa Robert, the divine doctor.
Xander nodded in agreement with her. "We''ll see in a few days."
"Hmm," she hums while looking at her uncle again.
"Babe, let''s go back to our house, you also need to rest. Let Uncle Noah get some very-needed rest too. We wille here again tomorrow morning," Xander was concerned about her condition. It''s almost midnight, and her face looks tired.
Scarlett could only agree with him. She really needed to rest, as she could feel her stomach tightening since noon. She felt worried something might happen to her baby.

When they arrived home, Scarlett felt exhausted and sleepy. However, as she was about to sleep, her phone vibrated.
"Who called you in the middle of the night?" Xander, who was just about to turn off the light, stopped. He walked to the nightstand to get Scarlett''s cell phone. However, when he saw the unknown number, he frowned while ncing at her.
"Who?" Scarlett asked curiously, seeing Xander''s face turn dark.
"Unknown number. Do you want to ept the call?" he asked. She shook her head and asked Xander to turn off her cell phone. She needed to sleep now.
But before Xander could turn it off, a text message arrived.
about something," Xander hesitated to give the cell phone to Scarlett. "If you want, you can call him. He might have something "Babe, this is Rnd Gilwynn''s number. He wants to speak with you about something," Xander hesitated to give the cell phone to Scarlett. "If you want, you can call him. He might have something important to say..."
Scarlett felt confused about whether to call him back or not. After thinking about her sudden departure from M Country, she decided to call him back. Maybe Xander was right; Rnd Gilwynn might have something important to say to her.
"Okay, I''ll call him," Scarlett epted her cell phone and walked over to the sofa in the corner. After settling on the couch, she called back Rnd''s number.
On the first ring, the call connected.
"Hello, Scarlett?" came Rnd''s voice from the other end.
Her tongue suddenly stiffened when she heard Rnd''s calm yet gentle voice in her ear.
"Scarlett, how are you doing?" Rnd''s voice paused as if waiting for Scarlett to say something. However, after a few seconds didn''t hear her speak, he continued his words, "I hope you are okay in there..."
"I''m fine!" She finally managed to reply.
"I''m sorry, Scarlett. I forgot it was already midnight there. Sorry if I woke you up."
"It''s okay. I was just about to sleep," she felt less nervous after hearing his apologetic tone. Xander, sitting beside her, gave her a reassuring smile. "What did you want to talk about?"
Rnd cleared his throat before saying, "...this is about your mother. Scarlett, I know everything from Theo, and I can help you find her," he said.
''He wants to help me find mom!?'' Scarlett could instantly feel her heart beating faster, excited by his words. However, she didn''t say a word. She just sat up straight, waiting for him to continue.
"Someone I know has advanced technology that can trace people. I believe her tech can easily track Rosalie..."
"Are you sure about that?"
"Yes, this person actually has a simr story to yours. She also searched for her mother for many years and finally found her a few years ago."
Scarlett''s eyes lit up, looking at Xander beside her. Her hand trembled as she held Xander''s hand, too excited about this news. Finally, there is a light for her to find her mother.
"I will arrange a meeting with that person. When will youe back here?" Rnd asked.
Scarlett didn''t reply immediately, but she quickly thought about her schedule.
In her mind, she wanted to fly there immediately. But there was no way she could leave now. She had to apany her uncle until he regained his health. After that, she would handle Carter and finish everything before starting to find her mother again.
"I''ll finish everything here, and after that, I''ll stop by Cloudfort first and then fly to Royal City. I hope I can arrive there in two weeks..."
