Chapter 406


    After the surgery, Vivienne asked the assisting surgeon to go out and inform the family while she


    stayed behind to stitch up the patient.


    The surgeon nodded and pushed open the doors of the operating room.


    The Ellington family immediately swarmed around.


    “How is he? Is my grandson alright?” Richard asked anxiously.


    The doctor removed his mask, “Mr. Ellington is out of danger now. He should wake up once the


    anesthesia wears off.”


    Cecilia and Isolde clung to each other, weeping with relief. Richard and Keh also exhaled in relief


    while the reactions of others varied.


    Percival was safe, and Thomas’ leg was saved, although he needed rest.


    Aaron had minor injuries, with ss shards having been removed from his back.


    All was well atst.


    Once Percival was settled, Vivienne made her way to Aaron''s room.


    Mark had been waiting outside the door, and upon seeing Vivienne, he quickly stood up, "Ma’am."


    Vivienne waved a hand. “Has Aaron not woken up?”


    Mark nodded, “Yeah, the doc said the anesthesia was strong. He''ll be out for a while.”


    “Hmm, and the car ident, any leads?”


    She had asked Draven to investigate, but sometimes news from the various elite families could present


    a different clue.


    Mark stepped closer, his voice a whisper. “Mr. Ellington’s car was checked. The explosion was caused


    by a new type of bomb, not by the ident!”


    Vivienne''s eyes narrowed.


    Just as she had suspected!


    A simple car flip could not possibly cause such a massive explosion.


    With this new bomb as a lead, the Ellington family could not be ruled out.


    Those with ess to such a bomb were GTO, but it was not beyond the realm of possibility that


    someone from the Ellington family had dealings with GTO.


    It might have been Scott or even a direct Ellington family member.


    Mark continued, “The new bomb leaves no trace, just like the one used during the baby rescue. That’s


    why the police have ruled the incident an ident.”


    Vivienne frowned. “Keep looking. We must find this bomb researchb!”


    This bomb was not even on the ck market.


    It was GTO''stest secret weapon.


    After thest incident, she and Percival had been searching for the bomb''s trail.


    To no avail, and now it reappeared.


    “Yes, ma''am,” Mark replied.


    Just then, Isolde came running over, and Mark stepped back to maintain a discreet distance,


    pretending not to know Vivienne well.


    “Vivienne, my brother''s awake!”


    Vivienne’s heart tightened, and she hurried back to Percival''s room with Isolde.


    The entire Ellington family was gathered around the bed, with Cecilia sobbing breathlessly at the


    bedside.


    Vivienne entered and saw Percival with his eyes open, and her anxious heart began to settle.


    She felt a sudden lump in her throat. Suddenly, she realized she did not have the strength to approach


    him.


    Percival''s gaze was fixed on Vivienne, who stood at the door. His head was bandaged, and his


    After a long stare, he parted his lips. “Who are you?”


    His voice was hoarse and deep, imbued with a masculine charm.


    But everyone was stunned!


    Percival did not recognize Vivienne?


    Amnesia?


    And amid the shocked gazes, the happiest was Keh.


    Perfect!


    Percival had forgotten Vivienne!


    The engagement could finally be broken off!


    Vivienne slowly approached Percival, a faint smile ying on her lips. “I’m Isolde’s nanny. I came to


    resign. I’m heading home to get married.”


    “You wouldn’t dare!” Percival’s face darkened immediately.


    Vivienne raised an eyebrow. “Funny, I dare do quite a lot. Wanna see?”


    “Vivienne, cut it out.” Percival immediately pulled her hand, drawing her close. “I’m sorry.”


    Keh''s jaw dropped.


    His brother just apologized to Vivienne!


    He actually apologized!


    What kind of spell had this woman cast on him?


    Vivienne pulled her hand back, serious. “No joke, I’m really going back home to marry!”


    Percival was silent.


    He only wanted to cheer her up, and now he had almost turned her into someone else''s bride.


    He could not let that happen!


    He pulled Vivienne into his arms, whispering, “Then I’ll go back with you. Otherwise, who are you going


    to marry?”


    Richard, seeing this, motioned for everyone to leave.


    The young couple had just endured a brush with death; it was not suitable for them to intrude.


    Cecilia red at her son; she had been crying for so long without a shred of sympathy from him.


    Clearly, being good to a daughter-inw was better than to one''s own son!


    Keh was the first to leave, unable to bear the sight of his “shameless” brother.


    One by one, the others followed suit.


    Finally, the room was quiet again. Vivienney on Percival, holding him tight.


    Percival gently patted her back, soothing her restless emotions.


    “It was just a minor car crash. I’m not that fragile.”


    “Yes,forting my lucky star,” he teased, tapping her nose, his eyes still filled with relief.


    After a long embrace, Vivienne spoke again. “Mr. Wolf, there was a bomb in your car.”


    "It''s gotta be some kind of new bomb, isn’t it?" Percival mused, his eyes narrowing into slits, voice as


    cold as ice.


    To ce a bomb on his car without a sound, undetected by any checks, it had to be the product of the


    And the person who managed to nt it was no ordinary foe.


    Vivienne sat up straight. "Got any suspects in mind?"


    Percival''s lips curled into a wry smile, "The Ellingtons are prime suspects, but... It''s not them."


    He had every member of the Ellington family under his watchful eye.


    Vivienne chuckled softly. "Since they have made their move, let''s y this game with gusto."


    ...


    Meanwhile, in Aaron''s hospital room.


    Aaron was awake, and Mark had gone to fetch the doctor, leaving only Bet and a few others


    standing guard. Content of Draм??ovels


    Unexpectedly, before the doctor arrived, Keh walked in.


    "Keh, what are you doing here?" Quentin asked with a hint of hostility.


    "What''s it to you?" Keh replied as he sat down, his gaze cold upon Aaron.


    He was just there to see if his only worthy adversary was still among the living.


    And perhaps, to propose a deal.


    Aaron exhaled. "Guys, head back. I''m alright now."


    He could tell by the look on Keh''s face that he had something serious to discuss.


    It was that unspoken understanding between rivals.


    "What''s it to you?" Aaron shot back, mimicking Keh''s tone to a tee.


    Keh was momentarily taken aback, wanting tosh out, but he held back seeing Aaron swathed in

    bandages.


    After all, he was a scion of the Ellingtons; he would not kick a man when he was down.


    "Listen up, I''ve got something serious to talk about," Keh cleared his throat, trying to regain his
