Chapter 573

For a moment there, Sage thought she was hallucinating. “What did you say?” Her body
and the hand that was holding the phone stiffened up. “Did you say my parents are alive?” “I don’t
know if they are alive or not. I just know that I didn’t kill them.” Jekyll said plainly,” Honey, I really did
come back for you this time.” He sneered, “But I don’t want your blood or your life, I want… you.” Her
heart was beating rapidly like a drum. She could not sit still, so she forced herself to grab the handle.
The fact that her parents might still be alive had overwhelmed her heart and thoughts. She could not
process and pay attention to other stuff. “Tell me clearly. Are you the one who ordered Uncle Braxton
and Uncle Zane to create an accident three years ago? You did not kill them?”

Jekyll sneered like he was teasing. “I was still on the run and trying to survive three years ago. I didn’t
have that spare time.”

“Then…” Sage’s throat clenched tightly and asked, “Could it be Shawn and his people?” The other
party paused, and his tone turned cold. “Honey, I am talking about us. Let’s not discuss the rest, okay?”
Sage was angry and anxious. The raging fire rushed up in her body and she punched the car window
with full strength. She was so angry that she cursed, “I’m f*ck*ng discussing my parents with you!”

The car window vibrated and shattered into pieces. The shattering sound shocked the driver and he
nearly lost control of the car. Hunter was so shocked that his eyes widened. At that moment, there was
no sound coming from the other side of the phone and the world seemed to be silent.

After a while, Sage could hear the busy tone on the phone. She tried to call back, but it was a none
existing number.

“Damn it!” She threw the phone on the car seat and cut her hand with the shattered glass. Blood
started gushing out.

“Miss Sage!” Hunter saw it and immediately unbuckled his safety belt and moved from the front
passenger seat to the back seat without asking the driver to stop the car. He took out the broken glass,



and took out the first aid kit to disinfect and wrap up the wound. His heart was pounding strongly. He
did not dare to look at Sage’s face. He never saw her looking so bad after working for her for many
years.

“Miss Sage, do we need to make a police report?”

It was as if Sage was frozen. She just sat there idly and did not respond for a long time. When Hunter
was about to call the police, Sage grabbed his hand and finally spoke with a raspy and dry tone, “It’s
useless. We don’t have any evidence and his exact location. Even if we do have the evidence, there is
no telling if we could capture him.”

Ten years ago, Sage’s godfather and Tim had to use military forces from overseas and create à mini-
war to capture Jekyll. It was a mystery to Sage how Jekyll managed to live until today.

“Give me the phone.” Hunter got the phone Sage threw to the car seat and passed it to her. With her
stiff fingers, she made a call, and it rang for a while before being picked up. She could hear Tim say,
“Adjourn the meeting.” After that, his voice was clearly heard, “I’m here.” “Tim.” Right after Sage started
talking, she choked, and her tears started to fall from her eyes. Tim said, “Take deep breaths and don’t
cry.” Sage sobbed and asked like a kid, “Is there a chance my parents are still alive?”
