Chapter 824


    Corey listened in silence and continued down the stairs.


    Elliot watched his retreating figure, shaking his head in resignation. Suddenly, the ant on his left hand


    from slicing fruit throbbed faintly,


    Only then did Elliot remember his injury and went downstairs to find a servant to disinfect it and apply a


    discreet bandage.


    Two hourster, Noah and Howard arrived one after the other.


    Noah immediately went to Albert’s room toprehensively examine his condition.


    Sheena stayed by his side, asionally assisting where needed.


    After a tense half–hour, Noah and Sheena descended the stairs together.


    Corey, Howard, Barbara, and Elliot were all seated on the sofa in the living room, waiting anxiouslyy


    Upon seeing theme down, Barbara stood up and asked, “Noah, how is he? Is there any hope?”


    Noah lowered his gaze and shook his head, solemnly exining the examination results, “The head


    trauma from thest fall caused internal bleeding in the brain. Despite our efforts, the clot has spread,


    affecting vital nerves. His brain will soon cease to function, and given his age and frail condition, even


    surgery offers no chance of survival.”


    A heavy silence descended upon the entire room after Noah’s words.


    Sheena felt her legs go weak, almost unable to stand.


    Elliot rushed forward and held her,forting her in his arms.

    Her chest heaved as she clung tightly to Elliot’s suit jacket, suppressing her overwhelming grief for the


    sake of her unborn children.


    The somber atmosphere lingered in the living room for a long time until Sheena’s voice rang out in


    anger.

    “She, if Dad dies, I’ll make sure you join him!”


    In the countryside, She had been rtively well–behaved since herst attempt to seduce Kye was


    discovered.


    Paul and John had lowered their guard against her, and Margaret had not intentionally given her a


    hard time.


    After all, She had injured her legs from kneeling, so they were not concerned about her causing


    trouble.

    However, despite these circumstances, She was still contemting an escape n.


    In the afternoon, She was working in the fields when heavy rain suddenly poured down.


    This rain came out of nowhere, pouring down heavily and rapidly.


    Usually, during the day, Paul and John would be catching up on sleep.


    Margaret, upon seeing the rain, sought shelter under a nearby tree.


    She was left alone to endure the downpour in the fields. She had hoped to tough it out for a while, as


    these sudden rains typically cleared up within half an hour.


    Yet, it was different this time.


    The rain went on for several hours, relentless and unyielding, as ifmenting some injustice.


    Feeling overwhelmed, She began to falter.


    Margaret also found the rain strange.


    Despite seeking shelter under the tree, she could not escape being drenched by the heavy downpour.


    Unable to continue working, Margaret reluctantly decided to end theirbor early and head back to


    change clothes.


    With dinner time approaching, it would soon be time for She’s punishment after that.


    The two of them walked back, one behind the other, to their hut.


    Upon returning to the hut, they found Kye waiting at the door, holding a towel.


    Seeing Margaret approach, he stepped forward to help her dry off the rainwater from her face.


    Margaret looked at him, pleasantly surprised.


    “Well, when did you be so obedient?”


    Kye chuckled awkwardly in response.


    She remained expressionless, busy cleaning her drenched hair.


    Suddenly, a muffled sound could be heard.


    It was Margaret copsing, falling into Kye’s arms.
