Chapter 1303


    Harry had suddenly copsed, and that incident urred so abruptly that itnded a huge impact


    on the Lores. They could not help feeling stricken by that.


    They were well aware that the strong pir that could support the entire Lore Family did not lie


    among any of them, but Harry was the very key in all this.


    His role as a professor at the university allowed him to build up a lot of connections in the academic


    world. These older generations in the field also had connections in every industry.


    That was why each time the Lore Family needed help in any matter, the problem would be resolved


    easily once Harry made a move to contact any of his close friends in the academic world. Most


    importantly, he held the position of Toby''s mentor.


    There were some things that his friends in the academic world could not quite achieve, but Toby


    was an exception. Therefore, it was fair to say that the Lores were able to continue surviving and


    stand tall because Harry was still around.


    If he suddenly passed away, then the older generations in the academic world would no longer care


    about the Lores. Even Toby would gradually cut ties with their family.


    Although he had already severed ties with the Lores, there was a chance that they could rebuild the


    connection if Harry survived.

    However, if he passed away, then their hopes would be dashed entirely.


    As such, none of them wished to see Harry ill. As soon as they heard that he had copsed from


    the shock upon seeing Toby''s statement, they were frightened out of their wits. Subsequently, they


    hastily took leave from their jobs and rushed to the hospital to care for Harry.


    However, they did not expect the hospital to diagnose him as having symptoms of a moderate


    stroke. Once he regained consciousness, his health would be worse than before.


    For example, in the past, he was able to walk without a cane, but from now on, he would need a


    cane to support his movement. If his condition was more severe than expected, then he might even


    need to be in a wheelchair.


    Another example would be that in the past, he could articte and gesture smoothly, but from now


    on, his speech might be slurred, or perhaps even stutter. His moves would be slower


    than before, and it might be tough for him to grip something in his hands.


    Ultimately, Harry would no longer be as sprightly as he was; he would end up as a frail old man


    needing constant care. This came as a significant impact on the Lores.


    Though they all heaved a sigh of relief because he remained alive, his body was considered


    destroyed, and they were unsure how long he was able to keep going.


    As soon as the diagnosis was made known, the Lores were dejected. The mood in the room turned


    somber. Even Amelia burst into tears more than once.


    Although Grayson did not tear up, he looked extremely downcast. Meanwhile, Lte stood


    expressionlessly by the windowsill. No one knew what she was currently thinking of.


    As for the other members of the Lore Family, they had received word as well and scrambled to get


    back to the country from abroad. Those who were out of town also made ns to return to Seafield.


    After all, Harry was in such a state, so they had to return to visit him. There was a chance that they


    might not get to see him again.


    "Sob. Honey, why did everything end up in such a state?" Amelia sat next to Grayson and continued


    to whimper softly. "Why did Dad suddenly copse?"


    He was significantly annoyed by her cries. "That''s enough! Stop crying. Why are you asking me? I


    have no idea at all. I only knew Dad attended a dinner party with Lte and somehow angered


    Toby again. That resulted in him releasing a statement that he would sever ties with our family."


    As they spoke, they nced in unison at Lte, who was standing by the window.


    Evidently, their exchange of words was intended for her ears. The couple had asked her this


    question more than once. After all, Harry remained unconscious, so they could only ask her about


    the matter, for she was the only one who attended the dinner party with him.


    However, she kept mum and steadfastly refused to tell them what happened despite their persistent


    questions. In the end, they had no choice but to put up this act.


    Lte was coldly unfeeling, and despite Amelia''s heart-wrenching sobs, she remained silent the


    entire time. Furthermore, she became rather impatient when they asked so many questions.


    "That''s enough. What''s with all the crying and persistent questions? Right now, the most important


    thing is to find a way to resolve this matter. Once Grandpa regains consciousness, I hope he would


    be able to see that we''ve resolved the matter rather than sobbing in here." Lte red at her


    parents impatiently.


    Though Grayson and Amelia were already used to their daughter''s poor treatment toward them in


    contrast to Harry, the look Lte shot at them remained hurtful to the couple.


    Grayson chided her, "We''re your parents! What''s with that attitude you''re showing us, huh? Is that


    the way a daughter should talk to her parents?"


    Yet, Lte snorted scornfully. "If I had the choice, I wouldn''t want to be your daughter anyway.


    You''re just two pieces of trash."


    "You—" Grayson and Amelia were angered beyond words.


    At that moment, the ward to the room was pushed open from the outside, and a nurse walked in


    with a displeased expression. "Are you guys done? Don''t you know you''re in a hospital right now?


    Can''t you see the words on the wall stating, ''No loud noises''? How dare you guys cause such a


    disruption here. Even if your patient here doesn''t need rest, we''ve got other patients around who


    do."


    As soon as the nurse''s words hit, the entire room descended into silence, and everyone stared at


    her incredulously.


    Clearly, they could not believe their ears. How dare a measly nurse show attitude while speaking to


    them in such a rude tone!


    Soon, Lte came to her senses and red at the nurse with a twisted expression. "Who the heck


    do you think you are, and how dare you speak to us this way! You don''t mind losing your job, do


    you?"


    It was true that the Lores were now in a bad state, but they were not beaten just yet. It was easy for


    them to go after a measly nurse.


    However, the nurse waspletely undisturbed by Lte''s words and even smirked disdainfully.


    "If this was in the past, I might be afraid of your words, Miss Lore. However, I''m no longer afraid of


    you. After all, you''re a murderer about to be imprisoned. What else can you do to me?"


    Lte''s expression turned sour as soon as the word ''murderer'' hit. Her eyes widened in shock.


    "W-What do you mean by that? What murderer?"


    Does this person know aboutst night''s incident? No! That''s impossible. I did everything in secret,


    and even Toby was unaware of things, so how did she know? This must be a sham. It isn''t true.


    Lte reassured herself in her mind, but somehow, the more she tried tofort herself, the more


    she found it hard to calm her turbulent emotion, surging her anxiety.


    Though Grayson and Amelia felt hurt by Lte''s words, their love for their daughter ultimately


    prevailed. Naturally, they would not be able to tolerate hearing someone speak ill about their


    daughter, so they instantly glowered and stood up. Subsequently, they pointed at the nurse and


    yelled, "What sort of nonsense are you on about? What do you mean by ''murderer''? We can sue


    you for libel!"


    "That''s right." Grayson nodded.


    The nurse pursed her lips with a disdainful look. "Libel? I did not defame your daughter. She''s a


    murderer and an extremely vicious one too. Right now, this is all over the Inte. Your daughter


    plotted the Acrees traffic ident for a ridiculous reason. Rather than arguing about this with me


    here, you should start thinking of what to bring for your daughter when you visit her in prison in the


    future."


    After the nurse said that, she shot a cold look at Lte before pushing the medication cart out of


    the room.


    At that point, Grayson and Amelia were stunned in ce inside the room.


    What did the nurse just say? She said Lte plotted the Acrees'' traffic ident yesterday, which is


    all over the Inte. How can that be possible?! Our daughter can''t be that vicious! Besides, she''s


    not capable of that! That must just be rumors on the Inte. Yes, that must be it!


    The two of them were of that opinion and turned to look at Lte in unison. However, their hearts


    plummeted upon noticing her pale face and frantic expression.
