"Excessive blood loss? It took a major toll on her?" Thomas Valerius's slender, frail hands repeatedly rubbed the armrests of his wheelchair. He then looked at Steven Miller, dissatisfied. "This is what your investigation turned up?"
Steven Miller looked aggrieved and explained with difficulty, "Damien Valerius has Aurora Sterling under such tight security. Our men can't get anywhere near her, let alone investigate anything. As for the Sterling family, Timothy Sterling is the only one left, and he rarely sees Aurora, so we can't get anything from him. Besides, Damien Valerius is incredibly vigilant. He doesn't just keep a tight watch on Aurora—he even has people escort his mother and the housekeeper when they go out grocery shopping. It's really difficult to dig up any information."
"That's not what I want to hear!" Thomas Valerius roared, then gasped for breath. "All you're telling me is that Aurora Sterling lost a lot of blood and it took a major toll on her. What good is that?!"
