Seeing Lacey’s composure, everyone’s admiration for her instantly shot through the skies.
As expected of a boss. She had great courage, and even such a huge news didn’t faze her in the least.
Our lady boss trumps all the bosses out there!
After everyone left, Lacey burst with laughter, completely disregarding her image and looking like an unhinged
woman.
Dawn was startled. “What’s up with you? Why are you acting like a nutjob all of a sudden? Don’t scare me like that!”
Lacey pulled Dawn into her arms as tears of excitement gleamed in her eyes. “Julian Scott, my favorite male artist,
is signed under Nutel Entertainment!”
She squeezed Dawn to the point of cutting off her air. “My God, my idol is now my employee! I can’t believe it. It’s
unbelievable!”
Her eyes were literally glittering as she rambled on, “Haha! I’ve always dreamed of getting his autograph, and now,
I’ll get him to sign every inch of my walls at home!”
Dawn was stupefied.
She couldn’t help but feel that Zeke was asking to be cheated on.
A hectic and productive day was over.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtZeke drove Lacey home for dinner.
However, on their way back, he suddenly received a call from Daniel.
Daniel’s voice was frantic as he said, “Zeke, bring Lacey to Heartland Hospital now. Something has happened!”
Zeke instinctively slammed on the brakes and asked solemnly, “Dad, what’s wrong? Are you and Mom in danger?”
“No. Its Grandpa. I can’t tell you the specifics over the phone, so let’s meet up at Heartland Hospital first. I’m
hanging up now.” Daniel answered.
After the call was ended, Zeke made a sharp U-turn and rushed towards Heartland Hospital.
Lacey was instantly anxious. “Zeke, what’s wrong?”
“I’m not sure. Your dad said that something happened to grandpa and that he’ll tell us the specifics once we reach
the hospital.”
“Something happened to Grandpa?” Lacey became even more nervous. “Hurry. Drive faster!”
Even though she wasn’t that close to her grandfather, he was still her elder who was related to her by blood. It was
only natural for Lacey to be worried if something happened to him.
Twenty minutes later, they arrived at Heartland Hospital. Daniel and Hannah happened to arrive at the same time.
Lacey immediately asked, “Dad, what happened to Grandpa?”
“Your uncle Jeremy called earlier saying that Grandpa fainted all of a sudden and was sent into the intensive care
unit.” Daniel answered her. “Quick. Let’s go in and see him.”
“He was sent into the ICU?” Lacey covered her mouth in shock. She realized the gravity of the situation and
refrained from asking any more questions, hurrying into the hospital instead.
As of now, Adam was out of immediate danger and had been moved to the general ward.
Unfortunately, he was still in a coma. He lay on the bed with both eyes closed.
Jeremy and Lily were both watching over him at the side.
As soon as Daniel entered the wardroom, he immediately questioned, “What happened to Dad?”
Jeremy glared at Daniel and spat, “How dare you come and see Dad! You’re the one who did this to him!”
Daniel was perplexed. “What nonsense are you going on about? I haven’t seen Dad since the past few days. What
does his fainting have to do with me?”
Jeremy yelled in anger, “Hmph! At the inauguration ceremony, your son-in-law, Zeke Williams, and your
goddaughter, Dawn Castaneda, scolded Dad in public. Not only did you and your wife allow it to go on, but you also
joined in as well. Dad was deeply affected by it and ended up getting a cerebral congestion!”
“What nonsense are you spouting?” Hannah refuted. “Love in a Fallen City’s inauguration ceremony was held a few
days ago. How could Dad get a cerebral congestion only now? I’m sure you’re the one who angered him!”
“Shut up! You’re just an outsider. You’re not qualified to meddle in my family affairs!” Jeremy bellowed. “Anyway, I
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmdon’t care. You’re the one who made Dad this way, Daniel. So, you need to take full responsibility!”
Hannah felt her eyes sting with angry tears.
Outsider?
I’ve been married to Daniel, and have been a part of the Hinton family for decades, but I’m still considered an
outsider?
Jeremy is as heartless as ever!
Zeke curled his lips into a sneer. “Are you sure his condition was caused by anger?”
He pressed on and said, “Why does it look more to me like he suffered a head trauma which then caused a cerebral
infarction?”
Jeremy scoffed. “What the hell do you know? I saw it with my own eyes. Dad was complaining about you lot right
before he passed out. I’m a hundred percent certain that you all were the ones who angered him to this extent.”
Lily quickly nodded in agreement. “That’s right. I witnessed it.”
Zeke sighed, then walked over to briefly examine Adam.
Finally, his hand paused on the back of Adam’s head. “He has a wound on the back of his head, This must’ve been
what caused the cerebral infarction. Aren’t you two going to give us a proper explanation now?”
