Chapter 337
Rufus let out a long sigh. “Well, Stuart is still my son. Just now, when he burst into tears, I suddenly
recalled how hard he had tried to please me when he was still a child. I’ll admit that I’m someone who
practiced favoritism. Thus, in a way, I’m also responsible for how he is acting now, and I feel guilty
about it. Besides, I don’t find his demand unreasonable.”After ncing at the bedridden Jacinta, he
continued, “He wanted to visit his mom because he knew he could no longer run away. He might not
have a chance to meet his mom if he doesn’t do it now. Bring him to the hospital before sending him to
the police station.”Rufus spoke in a stern voice as if he would not take no for an answer.He then
passed the phone to Xavier. “He’s still on the line. Find someone to bring Uncle Stuart over. If you think
he’s a threat, get a few more men to keep an eye on him and make sure he’s unarmed. What are you
waiting for? You do want to settle this as soon as possible, don’t you? Get it done right now.”Xavier
took over the phone and instinctively looked at Winnie. At that time, Winnie was sitting beside the bed
to apany Jacinta.Just when Winnie was about to speak, Jacinta regained consciousness.Before
this, she was acting crazy, so the doctor had to administer sedatives to calm her down. To prevent her
from bing hysterical again, the doctor took precautionary measures by binding her limbs
and putting her in a special hospital gown.When Jacinta woke up and realized she was tied up, she
started shrieking, “Why am I all tied up? Why did you do this to me?”She could not help but shiver upon
noticing the crowd in the ward.Only when Winnie walked over and reached her hand tofort her did
she notice the woman was standing by her side. “Winnie, am I in the hospital? Get the doctor to untie
me and release me. I want to go and see my son. Please, Winnie. I want to see my son. Don’t forget
he’s your uncle too.”“Granny…” Winnie’s heart jolted when she saw how unstable Jacinta was.
Somehow, she felt her condition was more severe than she first thought.Winnie turned her attention to
Josiah. “Come over here and take a look at her.”Josiah, who was a stone’s throw away, also realized
something was amiss with Jacinta.He walked toward Jacinta, took a closer look at the elderly woman,
and said to Winnie, “Earlier, I found a document about your granny. The record shows that she was
once admitted to a psychiatric hospital, but she eventually recovered and was discharged. I supposed it
wasn’t a severe case back then. Looking at her condition now, I’m afraid she’s experiencing a rpse.
It’s unlikely for patients to recoverpletely from psychiatric disorders. Patients who are not mentally
strong might go through a rpse if something or someone agitates them. Since you’re unaware of her
medical past, I supposed she hadn’t taken any medicine in thest ten years. This will further increase
the chances of a rpse.”“Yes,” Winnie muttered upon hearing Josiah’s exnation, “I never knew she
had this problem.”Once again, she shifted her gaze to Jacinta.Jacinta continued pleading with Winnie,
“Winnie, please allow me to meet my son. I beg you. Please!”Jacinta got out of bed and was ready to
prostrate herself before Winnie. Winnie immediately stopped her and helped her up. “Please don’t do
this, Granny. Please stop!”Not wanting to put Winnie in a tough spot, Xavier made a call and ordered
his men to bring Stuart over. He was also doing this for Rufus.While waiting for Stuart, Winnie
instructed a doctor to give Jacinta a more thorough checkup.Jacinta was emotionally unstable but had
yet to exhibit any other symptoms. So the doctor told Winnie he could only continue to monitor her
condition and not provide an urate diagnosis on the spot.Nheless, the doctor warned that
Jacinta must not be triggered again.That was why Winnie had to step out of the ward to talk to Stuart
when he arrived at the hospital.“Listen carefully,” Winnie warned Stuart, “by right, we should hand you
over to the cops, but since Grandpa Rufus gave you the green light to meet Granny, I have no choice
but to respect his decision. But I need you to know Granny is now mentally unstable, so speak nicely
when you see her. If you dare to utter something that will agitate her, I’ll make sure you rot in jail!”Stuart
red at her and responded sarcastically, “Stop acting like you know everything about kinship. She’s
my mom, and I just want to visit her, yet you’re warning me not to agitate her. Don’t you think you’re
being ridiculous? You should know you’re the reason she’s admitted to the hospital in the first
ce.”“Shut up!” Xavier, who came out of the ward with Winnie, unbuttoned his sleeves and aimed a
punch at Stuart’s face after seeing how he provoked Winnie.Coincidentally, Rufus was also standing
outside the ward. He knitted his brows upon witnessing the argument. “Come in if you guys are
done.”“Wait a minute.” Xavier stopped the two men who were escorting Stuart from advancing. “Have
you searched his body? Did he carry any weapon?”One of the men replied, “No. Besides his clothes
and watch, he didn’t carry anything else.” With that assurance, Xavier moved aside, allowing them toContent from N?velDr(a)ma.Org.
enter the ward.He held Winnie’s hand and followed right behind them.Xavierced his fingers through
hers, lowered his head, and said gently, “Don’t take his words to heart.”“I won’t,” Winnie assured him
with a steady look. “Nothing he said will affect me because I don’t give a d*mn about him.”After
entering the ward, they locked the door right away.Jacinta and Stuart were already bawling their eyes
out and hugging each other.Stuart kept apologizing to Jacinta for dragging her into trouble.Likewise,
Jacinta asked him for forgiveness as she had never fulfilled her responsibility as his mother.At one
nce, they seemed to have regretted the mistakes they had made in the past.Yet, all of a sudden,
Stuart drew a de from his wristwatch and held Jacinta hostage.The de was thin but had sharp
edges. It instantly cut through the bandage on Jacinta’s neck.She was admitted to the hospital because
of a cut on her neck. Her fresh wound started bleeding again when Stuart pressed the de against
the injury.Jacinta was thunderstruck. “Stuart, how could you do this to me?”Stuart shot daggers at her
and sneered, “Mom, you were willing to be held hostage and help Zyon escape. So why don’t you do it
for me again today? You felt sorry for not being a good mother to me, right? Well, it’s time for you to
make it up to me!”
