"What does it mean?" Kylie asked.

Ethan was gazing into space.

​​

Seeing that, Kylie waited in silence for his answer.

It was apparent that Kylie's phone was installed with a virus program. This program could interfere with Kylie's mobile phone signal, so no one could get through to her during this time.

If the virus was installed by Stephen, his purpose must be to cut off Kylie's communication with the outside world, so she could never escape.

If the virus was installed by Tory, his purpose should be to hide his location. However, in that case, Ben shouldn't have been able to get through to Kylie.

Who had installed this virus into Kylie's phone, and when did it happen?

Ethan was very familiar with this code because he had seen it before many years ago.

All of a sudden, Kylie's phone rang, and the caller was Kate.

Ethan gave it back to Kylie to let her pick up the call.

"Hi, Ms. Green," Kylie said.

"Kylie, bad news!" Kate's voice was much louder than usual. It scared Kylie, and she moved her phone away from her ears at once. Even though she did that, they still could clearly hear Kate's worried voice. "Ben's kidnapped, and we have no clue now."

Kylie looked at Ethan. "Ms. Green, Ben's fine, and he'll go back to the set tomorrow with me."

"What?" The wail of police sirens sounded from Kate's side, followed by noises for a long while. "Ben's father is here. I'll call you later," Kate said, then hung up.

Kylie sighed, "Well, the police are alerted."

"It'll be fine." Ethan looked very calm.

"Why?" Kylie asked.

"Tory doesn't want anyone else to know that you came back from his place," Ethan sneered. Therefore, Tory wouldn't tell anyone that Ethan had forced Ben to leave with him either.

Kylie nodded. "How about the code you just mentioned?"

"It's nothing. Just a virus program," Ethan said. He took out a bracelet and put it on Kylie's wrist. "There is an alarm system inside. Let me know once Stephen contacts you again."

Kylie raised her hand and had a look at it. "Is there also a GPS on it?"

Ethan kissed her forehead with a smile.

The dinner was ready. For the convenience of Kylie and Ethan, Lucy helped Ben eat somewhere else.

Kylie asked Ethan, "Are you sure Stephen is Clown?" She put a bowl of soup in front of him.

"Basically," Ethan said and moved his spoon in the bowl.

"Why Tory called Clown Mr. Brown?" Kylie frowned.

Ethan stopped for a second. "Mr. Brown?"

"Yeah, he also told me Mr. Brown is a good doctor," Kylie said. "Is there any misunderstanding?"

Ethan pulled his lips with disdain. "The name of Stephen's housekeeper is Seth Brown."

Kylie nodded with confusion. She wanted to say something again but closed her mouth.

When they were about to go upstairs, Kate called Kylie again, and everything went as Ethan had said to her.

"Kylie, we found Ben, and he's fine. His father arranged a driver to pick him up and made a joke with the crew."

"Oh." Kylie glanced at Ethan. "Good to know that. I'll join you tomorrow."

"Great! See you!" Kate said.

Kylie walked ahead of Ethan. "You're right. Nobody knows it's you."

She didn't notice Ethan gave the housekeeper a look when they went upstairs.

"Mr. Parker." The housekeeper interrupted them. "Vincent just called, and he needs to meet you right now."

Ethan seemed displeased. "What's up?"

"He didn't tell me, but it sounds to be important," the housekeeper said, looking nervous.

Kylie majored in acting, and he was stressed.

Seeing Ethan being displeased, Kylie thought he was unwilling to leave her because she was just back home for a short while. "It's fine. Vincent probably wants to talk about Clown with you. I'll wait for you right at home and won't go anywhere else."

Ethan still seemed reluctant to leave, so Kylie kissed his cheek to comfort him.

"Take a shower and wait for me," he said at the end.

"Sure, be careful," Kylie said with a broad smile.

Ethan didn't relax at all until he was finally in the car.

He took the bottle of water from the housekeeper's hand and drank half of it up.

"Let's go." He was exhausted, and a lot of thoughts ran through his head.

The doctor was shocked when he helped Ethan remove the clothing. The gauze bandages on his back, just stuck to his skin, and the wounds disappeared.

"What has happened?" The doctor looked to the housekeeper.

The housekeeper gave a quick glance at Ethan. "Don't ask questions. Just remove the dressing!"

The doctor sighed, then brought the tray over to put on a new dressing even though the wounds were gone. " Should I need to check your body?" He asked afterward.

He wanted to hear Ethan's opinion despite some weird thoughts he had right now.

A large burned area on Ethan's shoulders a few days ago had disappeared quickly. However, a red tender skin was visible, yet it still made him felt something usually with this man next to him.

"No need to put on any bandage, I am healed now," Ethan's voice sounds cold.

"Mr. Parker, I am afraid that your skin might get infected again if we aren't going to put on some bandage," The doctor said and picked up the scalpel.

Ethan growled, "I said I'm fine,"

"Mr. Parker, it is for your own good," The doctor insisted.

Pissed off with the doctor's words and don't wanting to give him any doubt, he sighed, "Okay, fine. Do it quickly!"

The doctor advised Ethan to have an infusion of antibiotic drugs before he left. Though Ethan didn't need it, he still nodded. His own body had an ability to cure alone, but for some reason, he won't dare to explain to a normal human being like this doctor in front of him.

"Give me some medicines." Ethan stood up and took his coat.

"Mr. Parker." The housekeeper stood in Ethan's way and whispered. "I know you ache to see Mrs. Parker right now, but you're too seriously injured now. You're inner power as a hybrid has been consumed that day. Aren't you afraid Mrs. Parker will find out?"

Ethan stopped, then looked to the housekeeper and responded, "I'll tell her the truth soon. I need to seize Stephen first?"

The doctor was silently looking at them. He had no idea what they talked about, but he suggested, "You need some infusion of antibiotics," he repeated.

He could only advise Ethan to stay and have an infusion of antibiotic drugs because he thought Ethan was a normal human.

Ethan turned around, hesitated for a while, then asked, "Can I still have sex after that?"
