My Substitute CEO Bride
Chapter 1381

Rosella glanced deeply at Elrog, then gently opened her red lips and said, "Thank you, Uncle Elrog!" Elrog shuddered slightly.

Rosella... actually called him 'Uncle Elrog'?

Since she was a child, this woman had always addressed him as 'Mr. Elrog', like a stranger.

He certainly did not think it was because of his help that Rosella had become closer to him.

It was because her friends held an important place in her heart.

Was one of them a special man?

Could it be that there was a man in Jonford who could attract Rosella?

He pondered for a long time but could not think of any outstanding young men from wealthy families in Jonford.

There was a woman, though.

Nonetheless, he rarely visited Jonford, and he did not have much interaction with that woman.

Tsk...

Could it be that his niece liked women?

Elrog's mouth twitched slightly, but he quickly suppressed the shock in his heart and grinned. "If you haven't eaten yet, Rosella, I'll take you to try some of Jonford's specialty snacks!"

...

Meanwhile, Nash returned to the hotel from the hospital at 8:00 pm.

As soon as he arrived downstairs, he ran into his in-laws' car.

Jasper got out of the car and opened the door for them.

"Dad, Mom, are you just getting off work now?"

"Yes. There was a meeting at the company that delayed us quite a bit. We originally planned to come back early to have dinner with you. Did we keep you waiting long?" Lauren smiled slightly. There was a hint of apology in her eyes.

Nash hurriedly said, "No, no. I just came back from the hospital!"

Harrison took out a pack of premium cigarettes and handed one to Nash. He then took out a lighter to light it for him. "Nashy, is Hera okay now?"

Nash raised his hands to block the wind from the flame of the lighter, lit his cigarette, and took a shallow puff. He nodded. "Everything's fine. Both of them are alright."

The pair of husband and wife both breathed a sigh of relief.

Harrison leaned closer to Nash and said, "When you have time, could you check on Jasper? He's been missing a lot lately, and his mental state hasn't been great. He nearly rear-ended someone a few times on the road these past few days!" Nash glanced back at Jasper in the car. His face was pale, and his gaze somewhat vacant. "You two go upstairs first. I'll go check on him."

Then, Nash opened the car door and sat in the front passenger seat.

Jasper turned to look at Nash, lowering his eyes. "Is something wrong?"

Nash squinted at him and asked, "Did anything happen recently?"

Jasper shook his head. "Nothing."

Nash activated his Third Eye and was surprised to replace that Jasper was missing his soul.

How strange...

If it were his enemies trying to harm his in-laws, they would surely have killed Jasper directly.

The person who could take away his soul could have easily killed him.

Could it be Jasper's own enemies instead? Did they want to toy with him slowly?

Nash took a deep breath. "Get out of the car and come with me to the hotel."

Jasper nodded stiffly, parked the car in the parking lot, and followed Nash to the third floor of the hotel.

Nash went looking for Eric, and the two of them spent half an hour studying Jasper.

Then, with his hands in his pockets, Eric asked, "Did you replace anything?"

Nash rubbed his stubbled chin and said in a deep voice, "There's a severe deficiency in his kidney's light energy."
