Charlie, having an inkling about what was going on, decided to feign curiosity and asked, “What did Mom say?”


    ire, sounding quite helpless, replied, “Mom told me over the phone that she’s actually living a very GOOD life in prison now. She wanted to reach out to you, but your call didn’t go through. So, she asked me to tell you not to worry about her release; she’s not in a rush to get out. She just wants to return to China with us when the time is right. If that’s not possible, she’s okay with going back by herself once she’s released…” After she finished speaking,


    ire, feeling anxious, posed a question, “Husband, don’t you think my mother seems a bit out of touch? Why is she content with being in prison, saying she doesn’t want to leave too soon…”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    Charlie couldn’t help but sneer internally, thinking, “My foolish wife. You should realize that your mother has be quite the fixture at Bedford Mountain; it’s no wonder she’s reluctant to leave…”


    However, he kept his thoughts to himself and reassured her, “Wife, I believe Mom just wants to spare us any worry, so she said that.”


    ire responded earnestly, “My mom isn’t the kind of person who prioritizes others. There are only two reasons she might not want to leave: either she’s being coerced, or she’s quitefortable in there.”


    Charlie sighed inwardly, thinking, “She really is her mother’s daughter, Mo Ruonv.” He then reassured her, “Don’t worry, prisons aren’twless ces, and there shouldn’t be any coercion involved. As for the second possibility you mentioned, I think you might be right. Perhaps she’s made some new friends, or she wants to experience life there a bit longer. I’ve even asked some contacts in New York to help out; I’m sure I can ensure she’s well taken care of.”


    ire expressed her confusion, “Honestly, when I spoke to her, her tone didn’t seem coerced at all. It was oddly cheerful, almost like she was trying to hide her happiness from me… I just don’t understand…”<fn230e> Find the newest release on find?novel</fn230e>


    Charlie smiled gently, “Good wife, if you’re having trouble understanding, it’s best not to overthink it. Since Mom feltfortable enough to tell you this, I’m sure everything is fine.”


    “Well…” ire sighed in resignation, “There’s really nothing I can do for her at the moment. I’ll just focus on finding a way to help you rescue her.”


    Charlie replied with a smile, “It’s not a difficult task; as long as Mom is alright, nothing else matters.”


    As they spoke, Charlie noticed the seatbelt warning light in the office illuminate. He turned to ire, saying, “Wife, the ne is about to take off, and I need to return to New York tonight. I won’t keep you on the line any longer; take care of yourself, focus on your sses, and don’t worry about anything else.”


    “Okay…” ire instructed, “Just make sure you get enough rest too, alright? Let’s go.”


    After exchanging a few more words of concern, they hung up the phone.


    Soon after, the aircraft’s engines roared to life, and following a brief taxi on the runway, it ascended into the night sky.


    What usually took at least five or six hours to fly, the flightnded at JFK Airport in New York in just two hours.


    A convoy from the Shangri-La Hotel was already waiting for Charlie at the airport. Afterpleting customs procedures through the VIP channel, he and the others were whisked away directly to the hotel in the concierge vehicle.


    As they approached the hotel, Fei Kexin called Charlie, saying, “Mr. Wade, I’ve gathered all the herbs on your list. Should I send them to the hotel now?”


    Charlie was pleasantly surprised by Fei Kexin’s swift efficiency; after all, it had only been a little over two hours, and it waste at night.


    Nevertheless, Charlie didn’t delve into the details. Given that Fei Kexin was now the head of the Fei family and a prominent figure in New York, it was no surprise that she had solid connections.


    So, Charlie responded, “Let’s meet at the hotel!”
