Chapter 337


    “Mom, wake up, please wake up!”


    “Don’t let anything happen to you, please.”


    In the hospital room, Xanthea clutched Susanna’s hand tightly, her eyes brimming with tears, sobbing


    uncontrobly.


    She remembered in her past life, her mother had fainted upon hearing the news of her death and never


    woke up again.


    Her elder brother had searched all over the country for renowned doctors, but no matter how famous


    the doctor or advanced the technology, they couldn’t diagnose her condition or wake her up. She


    remained like a living dead.


    She thought that by changing the oue in this life, everything would be different, but..


    The guests at the Ins Garden Venue had all been sent away, leaving only the closest members of the


    Nightshade family anxiously pacing the hallway


    Shell


    ? be alright Susanna will be alright”


    “it’s all Matthew and Miranda’s fault, those scoundrels. They made my sister–inw faint from anger.


    We can’t let them off!”


    “She has always attached great importance on rtionships. Seeing her adopted daughtermit


    such a disgraceful thing must have


    broken her heart”


    Onion stood outside the hospital room, looking through the ss at the tearful girl inside, his dark


    brows knitted with concern.


    Afterpleting his check–up, Alex put away his instruments and reassured Xanthea, “Ms.


    Nightshade, there’s no need to worry too much. Madam has only fainted temporarily due to excessive


    grief.”


    “Temporary fainting? When will she wake up?”


    “Soonest by tonight,test by tomorrow”


    “Really?”


    “That’s good to hear


    Xanthea pressed her small face against her mother’s hand, all the chaotic thoughts in her mind


    dissipating


    The door to the hospital room opened, and the family and friends in the hallway immediately crowded


    around.


    “Alex, how’s my sister?”


    “Is Susanna feeling any better?”


    “Everyone, please rest assured. Madam fainted due to acute emotional distress, which caused a


    temporaryck of oxygen to her brain. She just needs some rest and she’ll wake up very soon.”


    “Really?”


    “That’s such a relief; I was afraid”


    Just as everyone was about to go in and see her Alex stopped them.


    “Madam is very fragile night now and needs to rest quietly. Please don’t disturb her, or any noise might


    upset her again. Ms. Nightshade can take care of her alone inside.”

    “Winght, alright!”


    Everyone sighed in relief, finally feeling at ease.


    Oliver noticed standing outside the hospital room, staring intently at the girl inside, his brows knit with


    worry. He couldn’t help but walk


    Dver.


    “Mr. Lockwood, there’s no need to worry too much. As long as my sister is alright, Xan won’t be sad.”


    “Orion?”


    After the initial shock, Samuel noticed him and wondered why he was still here.


    Onion saw Samuel’s bloodstained righthand, the skin torn and blood dripping down his fingers.


    He took out a handkerchief, “Here, wype it.”


    Only then did Samuel realize how much he was bleeding. “Thanks”


    Tonight was supposed to be a joyous asion, but Matthew and Miranda had ruined it. He wished he


    could deal with them himself!


    Tonight, Mr. Lockwood must have found it amusing. Isaac, see our guest out“:

    Before Orion could respond, Oliver quickly said, “I see Mr Lockwood out


    In the circr corridor.


    “I’m sony, Mr. Lockwood. I know you and Xen are together now, but given today’s situation, it’s not


    appropriate to discuss it,”


    Orion: “Hmm.”


    He just wanted to hold Xannie.


    Oliver thought of the video and the security around the banquet hall, and asked, “Was today’s incident


    arranged by you?”


    “Xannie.”


    “Xan?”


    Oliver was surprised. No wondel Xan had been acting strangelytely, and quickly shifted her


    affections. She must have known about the affair between Matthew and Miranda for some time


    “M/Lockwood, thank you, truly. Thank you!”


    He suddenly expressed his gratitude solemnly, and Orion’s brows furrowed in confusion, Oliver smiled,


    “Xan has liked Matthew for so many years. Xan must have been heartbroken when she first found out.


    Thank you for being there for her.”


    “It’s what I should do. Mr. Lopez, from now on, you can call me Orion.”


    Oliver was slightly taken aback, then burst intoughter, “Alright, alright!”


    It seemed they were destined to be family!


    Indeed, blessings oftene in disguise. Compared to Matthew, Orion was worlds apart. This was the


    excellent son–inw he had always envisioned for his niecel


    Late at night, Xanthea kept vigil by Susanna’s bedside, and unknowingly fell asleep. When she opened


    her eyes again, she found hersell lying in bed


    How did she get back to her room? How was her mother? Had she woken up?


    She rushed out of bed and ran into Samuel at the door.


    “Xan, you’re awake? How are you feeling? Any difort?”


    “Where’s Mom? Has she woken up?”


    “She’s awake and eating now.”


    “Really? That’s wonderful!”


    Xanthea jumped up in excitement


    It’s different, still different. Her mother wouldn’t


    Things were different indeed. Her mother wouldn’t faint and never wake up for those scoundrels!
