Chapter 999
Chapter 999 He Is Counting On You
It was in that the hospital employees were the only ones who could have freely entered Isabe’s
office.
The study door was pushed open abruptly, and Jean entered.
“I looked for you in your room, but you weren’t there. Sure enough, I find you here instead, up so early
and already on theputer. What are you working so hard on?”
Upon catching sight of the figure within, he sighed helplessly before walking over.
“Breakfast is ready. Why don’t youe downstairs and have some? We can deal with everything else
later.”
However, he caught a glimpse of the image on the screen, which caused him to raise his eyebrows.
“Has King restored the surveince footage?”
Neera nodded and yed the original video that had been tampered with.
“Look. This was the person who sneaked into Bell’s office and did something to herputer. It must
have something to do with the prescription! I need to see Bellter.”
Jean nodded. “Perfect timing.n just sent a message saying that he has found Mr. Lopez.”
One piece of good news following another made Neera’s eyes light up. “Really? Where is he now?”
“Don’t get too excited just yet. I heard he isn’t doing great from being kept hidden in the basement of a
private research institute. If possible, have Isabee over.”
Neera’s expression turned grim. Pursing her lips, she nodded.
Before heading down the stairs, she contacted Isabe.
Upon hearing the news about her grandfather, Isabe hastily ended the call and rushed to Imperial
Gardens.
Neera personally answered the door. Upon noticing Isabe’s haggard face-a clear indication that she
had not been resting well-her heart clenched.
“How are you doing?” she asked with concern.
Isabe gave her head a weary shake; she could not hide her anxiety. “I’m fine, but where is Grandpa?
How is he?”
Sighing, Neera led her in. “Let’s talk inside.”
Dragging her friend to a seat, she informed Isabe about the surveince video and everything that
Jean had told her.
At the same time, she showed her the original surveince video.
“Take a good look. Do you recognize this person?”
Isabe stared intently at the figure on the screen, seething with rage.
“Of course I know him. He’s my Uncle Harris’ assistant, Tomas! I can’t believe it. My own uncle is the
one stabbing me in the back!”
She was livid, and her voice was bing shrill. A flush of anger spread across her pale face.
“As for the address you mentioned, that’s a research institute where my uncle is a partner!”
She did not like to think ill of others, let alone specte about the motives of her own family members.
Ultimately, however, reality gave her a harsh p in the face.

Jean spoke up in a calm voice, “You need to calm down, Ms. Lopez. Getting angry won’t help. The
most urgent thing is to rescue your grandfather. My people have found out that there are men standing
guard at your uncle’s research institute. It’s going to take some effort to rescue your grandfather.”
Isabe’s heart was pounding with anxiety. “Is there anything we can do?” she demanded. “Can we call
the police?”
“There’s a high chance it won’t work.

Neera shook her head, her eyebrows knitted tightly together. “We don’t have a legitimate reason,” she
warned. “Besides, we’re the only ones who believe your grandfather is being held captive. If the police
doe knocking, they can simply use your grandfather’s treatment as an excuse to refuse to hand
him over. After all, your uncle and your grandfather are family. It’s not appropriate for the police to
intervene in family matters.”
“What can we do then?”
The thought of her grandfather being imprisoned there and falling ill was driving Isabe mad with
anxiety.
Jean remained calm. “Don’t you worry about this. I’ve already ordered my men into position, and it
would be a trivial matter. We’ll send him directly to Neera’s research institute as soon as we manage to
rescue your grandfather. All you have to do is be patient and wait.”
Isabe’s emotions were fraught from osciting between extremes. Upon hearing the news, she
almost burst into tears and expressed a profusion of gratitude.
“No need for such formality,” Jean said breezily. “You are Neera’s best friend. it’s only right that I help
you.”
Then, he got up and went to his study, giving the two friends time to themselves.
As Isabe watched his figure disappear around the stairwell corner, the tears she had been holding
back finally fell.
“Thank you, Neera. Thank you both. I wouldn’t have known what to do.”
Neera felt her heart sear painfully. She hugged her friend and soothed her.
“All right. Stop crying, now. There’s no need to be so formal with me. I’m going to be really upset if you
won’t stop crying!”
Only then did Isabe stopped crying at once.
Neera patted her on the back. “That’s more like it. Save your strength to punish those who have
wronged you and your grandfather. You look exhausted. Take a short nap in my room. I’ll wake you up
when there’s news.”
Isabe, however, remained uneasy. “How could I possibly be at ease while Alvin is currently in charge
of the hospital? Though the surveince has been restored, it only proves that somebody has been in
my office and has used myputer. Evidence of the prescription mix-up still needs further
investigation, and there’s no doubt that Tomas wasn’t the only one involved.”
Neera chimed in, “I believe the staff of the hospital’s pharmacy is involved. After all, if they hadn’t
dispensed the wrong medication, how could the patient have gotten it?”
After a moment of contemtion, Isabe said, “I think I should go to the hospital first.”
“Didn’t you say someone was watching you? Alvin will be on guard against you if you go now, and you
might not be able to find out anything.”
“No worries, I’ll figure something else out. There’s something else I need to ask of you. If my
grandfather is rescued, I need your help to deal with his condition.”
Seeing how determined her friend was, Neera decided not to stand in her way any longer.
“All right, stop worrying about your grandfather. Let me handle it.”
