Hubert reprimanded Rooney with a flushed face and a raised voice.


    Rooney trembled in fear. Realizing that she had almost slipped her tongue, she quickly closed her


    mouth obediently.


    Helena also red disapprovingly at her own mother.


    Everything else about her mother was good, but shecked a filter when she spoke.


    They had managed to keep the matter of her grandfather’s critical condition hidden, and now it was


    brought up again.


    If Grandpa regained his memory, would their family be able to sit here safe and sound?


    Hubert cautiously looked at Herman and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw his father pinching his


    nose in distress.


    Lauren smiled faintly and said, “Dad, you heard everything, right? You were indeed critically ill and


    admitted to Jonford Hospital. Mr. Dean even invited Miracle Doctor Tanner, but they couldn’t cure you.


    It was Nash who cured you…”


    Hubert angrily interjected, “Lauren, will you stop spreading nonsense here…”


    Harrison said coldly, “Who’s the one spreading nonsense about the truth?”


    “That’s enough…”


    Herman roared.


    Immediately, both families fell silent.


    Herman looked coldly at his two sons and said, “Now is not the time to discuss whether or not I was


    sick…”


    The patriarch’s imposing presence instantly silenced everyone.


    Herman said to Jupiter, “Chief Holt, I’ll have to trouble you to investigate the culprit thoroughly tonight.


    Tomorrow, I’ll enhance the security system of the Lewis family’s estate…”


    Jupiter nodded. “Rest assured, Mr. Lewis. We’ll investigate the true culprit of this incident overnight!”


    Herman stood up and looked at Hubert’s and Harrison’s families. “You all have work tomorrow. Go and


    get some rest…”


    Nash returned to the ground floor, avoiding the cameras and crawling along the wall like a gecko to


    enter the apartment unit.


    After freshening up, he slipped into the bed where Hera had once slept.


    The soft and fuzzy thin nket felt veryfortable as it covered him.


    He took out his smartphone from under the pillow and saw a message from Hera.


    [There was a shooting incident at home. It was so terrifying. It would’ve been great if you were by my


    side!]


    [Did you give Mr. Lewis the medicine?]


    Nash quickly replied to the message.


    Just three seconds after sending it, Hera responded.


    [I bought the medicine, and my mom is figuring out how tomunicate with Maria. Why are you up so


    late?]


    [I had a nightmare!]


    [Are you scared? Come here, I’ll give you a hug!]


    Completely forgetting her previous panic, Hera’s face was filled with a smile.


    [What is there for a grown man like me to be afraid of? Go to sleep quickly!]


    [Heh, what a typical man. I’m going to sleep now. Goodnight!]


    Hera huffily put down her phone and went to sleep.


    Herman sat on the bed. He had searched through his phone contacts for a while but could not find Mr.


    Dean’s number.


    Harrison said Mr. Dean was his oldrade.


    If they were trulyrades, he would have saved his number, right?


    He then found Mr. Zoel’s number. After contemting for a while, he decided to make the call.


    “M-Mr. Lewis!”


    “Mr. Zoel, was I terminally ill with cancer before?”


    “No…”


    Adam immediately replied.


    Herman’s eyes flickered slightly, and he said calmly, “Please help me get the phone number of Mr.


    Dean from Jonford Hospital


    In an ordinary apartment room, Adam suddenly sat up in bed. “Okay, Mr. Lewis. Please wait a


    moment…”


    He picked up his tablet from the bedside table.


    Suddenly, he paused and found Helena’s profile on WhatsApp.


    [Ms. Lewis, Mr. Herman asked me to get Mr. Dean’s phone number for him…]


    [Let him know. We’ve alreadymunicated with the hospital about it…]N?velDrama.Org: text ? owner.
