The Lime Family was facing tough times due to the pressure from the Tuckson Family. It seemed like
they were on the brink of copse.
Fortunately, the Tuckson Family didn’t aim topletely crush them. After a period of harassment, they
backed off.
Just when things settled with the Tucksons, George came knocking by catching Dn off guard with a
brutal beating.
Despite sending him to jail, George surprisingly got out quickly and repeatedly tried to cause trouble.
Frustrated, Dn turned to his friend Joey for help.
That was when Joey unexpectedly crossed paths with George.
At this moment, George, inebriated and unaware of being set up, was recklessly gambling at the table,
fueled by alcohol–induced bravado.
Alcohol emboldened him, making him do things he wouldn’t dare otherwise.
After a few small wins, his confidence soared.
Joey came back and was still praising and encouraging beside him. He immediately stopped his
original intention of gambling a few times and leaving.
However, most of the subsequent gambling sessions didn’t go as he wished.
Despite this, fueled by alcohol and the desire to win, he continued to gamble time and time again. After
losing, he even borrowed money to

Meanwhile,
Three dayster, Scarlet was discharged from the hospital. Her first action upon leaving was to wheel
herself over to find Ang.
Fanny volunteered to apany her and appeared excited.
Just after training, barely out of school, Ang caught sight of the two approaching.
She frowned, barely sparing them a nce, and simply went the other
way.
Oliver diligently stood guard beside Ang and effectively separated Fanny and Scarlet.
“Ang, stop right there!”
Seeing Ang tantly ignoring her, Scarlet almost leaned over in anger, pped the armrest of the
wheelchair, and yelled fiercely.
Despite having recently woken up, her voice carried a strong tone, far from someone fresh out of the
hospital.
Ang paid no mind and continued to walk ahead, while Oliver turned to re at the two of them. He
shielded Ang as they made their way outside the school.
Both Scarlet and Fanny were startled by Ang’s reaction, but Fanny still pushed Scarlet trailing not
far behind Ang.
Without a word from Ang, Scarlet shouted, “Ang!”

He deliberately stood in her way, while Oliver swiftly positioned himself in front of Christopher.
Upon seeing Christopher, Fanny’s eyes lit up, but she refrained from greeting him. Instead, she
earnestly addressed Ang, “Ang, your mother hase to see you in person. Why won’t you even
acknowledge her?”
Ang sneered and didn’t respond to Fanny. She just turned and gave a casual nce to Scarlet.
“What is it that you want to say?”
Christopher noticed Ang’s reluctance to leave and approached Scarlet and Fanny at that moment.
He had been kept busy by Jane these past few days, but as soon as he got the message from Fanny
seeking help, he quickly brushed off Jane and offered his assistance.
Scarlet was quite irritated by Ang’s attitude. She pped the armrest and said, “You promised to
treat Zacharias, who is now in critical condition. Hurry ande to the hospital with me!”
Ang gave a cold smile, “Didn’t your good daughter Fanny inform you? I’m not treating anymore.”
She chose not to engage with these individuals, she simply gave Oliver a look and turned to continue
walking out.
Upon hearing her words, the three of them attempted to stop her, but several bodyguards swiftly
intervened and blocked their path.

As Ang was escorted into the car by Oliver, the bodyguards followed suit and entered the car behind
her.
The three of them were frightened by the bodyguards, and they remained silent for a long time.
It wasn’t until Ang’s car and the bodyguards‘ car had driven away that Christopher began discussing
Ang.

Scarlet and Fanny were equally displeased with Ang, their expressions grim.
At that moment, Joseph from the hospital contacted several people.
Zacharias‘ health had taken a turn for the worse.
They rushed to the hospital and found Joseph looking dejected.
Upon receiving the news, James in Riverdon decided to hurry to Nortnd.
The Kins Family’s business in Riverdon was already struggling, and with Zacharias in critical condition,
James didn’t hesitate to leave Riverdon and head to Nortnd.
“Will Zacharias be okay?” Fanny’s eyes were red from crying.
While others were also feeling uneasy, none had the time to console her. Christopher was the only one
who sat beside Fanny and made an effort to be sensitive to her emotions.
“Don’t worry, Fanny, things will improve,” he assured her, though he doubted his own words.
“Thank you, Christopher.” Fanny cried so hard that she was exhausted, and she leaned on his chest.

Before he could say more, his phone suddenly rang with a distinct ringtone, catching him off guard.

It was a tone set by Jane at the instigation of her mischievous friend. They jokingly called it Jane’s
“call–the–ve” ringtone because it always got Christopher’s attention like a ve being called.
Upon seeing Christopher’s reaction, Fanny looked at him with concern. “What’s wrong, Christopher?”
Meeting her gaze, Christopher felt panicked and quickly said, “It’s nothing, I just need to take this call.”
With that, he stood up and hurried down the hallway to answer the call.
Fanny felt a pang in her heart as she noticed Joseph and Scarlet, both wearing mournful expressions,
too preupied to notice her standing by the entrance of the emergency room.
She could sense that Christopher was keeping something from her.
Once Christopher was out of earshot, he answered Jane’s call. Since theirst encounter at the bar,
Jane had been calling Christopher to various locations.
Despite his injuries not fully healed at the time, she showed no mercy. She often put him in difficult
situations and mostly left Harley to harass him at her whims.
Jane had something on Christopher which made her confident he wouldn’t dare toin to the
authorities.
As soon as the call connected, she gave an address without pleasantries and hung up.
Christopher clenched his fists but knew he had to go.

After some hesitation, heposed himself and returned outside the emergency room.
Fanny kept a watchful eye on him and breathed a sigh of relief when he returned. She couldn’t bear the
thought of him abandoning her at such a crucial moment.
As Christopher approached, Fanny stood up with concern and asked, “Christopher, are you feeling
unwell? Why is your face so pale?”
Christopher smiled weakly. “I’m fine, but the school suddenly called me back for a while, I…”
He made up a feeble excuse, hoping she wouldn’t press further.
Before she could respond, Joseph, who had been listening, walked over to Christopher and said, “Go
take care of school matters, we’ll wait here.”
Christopher agreed and bid farewell to Scarlet before departing.
Fanny lowered her head. She sensed that Christopher wasn’t truly going back to school.
“Fanny,e here, we need to talk to you.”
Upon hearing Joseph’s words, Fanny followed him.
Joseph led Fanny to Scarlet, who was gazing at the emergency room door as if willing it to open
sooner.
“Joseph, what is it that you want to tell me?”
Whether it was her imagination or not, she couldn’t shake the feeling that Joseph had purposely sent
Christopher away, and whatever he was about to say might also involve Christopher.
