Chapter 553
“I mean it when I said no. What’s wrong? Don’t you believe me?” As Sisley spoke, she grabbed a cleansing sheet to
wipe away the eyeliner and continued to put on makeup.
Even though Hera was suspicious of Sisley, she didn’t have any proof.
Her mother’s answer put her at ease.
We have depended on each other for so many years. Mom won’t lie to me. Why would she?
She has nothing to do with Grandpa’s accident.
That’s great... If Mom really did it, she will be in deep trouble once the police find out.
She couldn’t imagine the severity of the consequences.
As much as she wanted to be the Chapman family’s successor, she never thought about hurting her grandpa.
How can I take someone’s life to achieve my goal?
“Okay, put on your makeup quickly. Once you’re done, we will go to the hospital to visit Grandpa.” Hera calmed
herself down and told her mother.

even if we are there.”
“If we don’t go to the hospital, I’m sure my uncle and the rest will complain about us,” Hera still wished to stay by
Mr. Chapman’s side to show that she cared for him.
They wasted quite some time and finally arrived at the hospital at noon.
Much to their surprise, Ashlyn was already waiting in front of the ICU.
“She’s shedding crocodile tears,” Sisley’s twitched as she muttered in disdain. She couldn’t help but feel angry once
she recalled Ashlyn was Fiona’s daughter.
Nevertheless, she wouldn’t tell Ashlyn about it.
Even though the other Chapmans guessed the same thing, none wished to reveal Ashlyn’s identity.
Since Fiona caused outrage in the family before, they wanted to avoid anyone related to her.
As such, they kept the secret to themselves.
On the other hand, Ashlyn didn’t glance at Sisley but continued to discuss with the doctor beside her.
“Doctor, you said his condition is stable, but there are numerous bone fractures in his body. Does he have a brain
injury?” Ashlyn asked softly.
After all, the situation could deteriorate in no time if he had a brain injury.
Mr. Chapman could have a concussion or remain in a coma from a brain hemorrhage.
Ashlyn felt that the doctor couldn’t afford to overlook the risk.
“We have conducted three CT scans for the patient from yesterday until today. All results show that his brain
functions normally.” The doctor handed the medical report to Ashlyn politely.
Meanwhile, the doctor couldn’t help but think to himself. Are the members of the Chapman family idiots?
Dr. Berry is a reputable physician in the industry and even had her public lecture at the University T a while back.
I can’t imagine why the family would taunt and say nasty things to her. I mean, are they out of their mind?
If it weren’t for Ashlyn’s concern for Mr. Chapman’s situation, the doctor wished he could beat the hell out of their
family.
“Please keep the patient under observation. If there isn’t any abnormality after twenty-four hours, you can transfer
him out of the ICU,” Ashlyn said while handing over the report back to the doctor.
After that, she sat on the bench facing the Chapman family.

“For Hera’s sake, we must. I heard that man loves the food from The Peacock.”
“Okay, we’ll choose The Peacock. Anthony, isn’t the reception manager your friend? Why don’t you make a
reservation now before the restaurant is fully booked,” Sisley asked Anthony impatiently.
The latter reluctantly took out his phone and made a call.
Meanwhile, Ashlyn pretended she didn’t hear the conversation. At this moment, her phone suddenly rang.
After reading the message, she frowned and kept her phone back silently.
Once Anthony reserved a room, the Chapman family left the hospital together.
“Since we are not allowed to enter the ICU, it’s a waste of time to be here. Besides, the nurses will call us if there is
an emergency.”
The Peacock was a large and quaint restaurant.
Once Ashlyn entered the restaurant, she looked for the Heavenly Waterfall Room.
“Ashlyn?”
When she was about to ask the reception manager for directions, she suddenly heard someone called her name in
a familiar voice.
Ashlyn looked up and noticed a group of people whom she knew and not far from her.
