Chapter 879
As Asher stepped out of the hospital ward, his expression darkened ominously, as if he had emerged
from the depths of hell.
Upon hearing about Be’s ident, Axel and Ralph, who were working in Savrow, and even Amelia,
who was in ss, all rushed to
the hospital. Even Drew zoomed his way to the hospital without
hesitation.
In a rare urrence, all of the Thompson siblings gathered together
for Be, with only their third brother, Den, who was serving in the
military, absent.
“Ash, why did Be suddenly get into a car ident?” Amelia, the youngest and most timid, was on the
verge of tears, her eyes welling

Steven saw Amelia’s distress and wanted tofort her, but as a
mere secretary, he refrained from overstepping his boundaries in
front of his boss.
Steven could only keep his concern for her hidden in his heart, but his
intense gaze never left Amelia for a moment.
Perhaps, for a person like him, the only thing he could do was to
silently stand behind her, guarding her without uttering a word.
“That’s right, Ash. Be is a skilled driver. Her driving skills aren’t any
worse than mine. How could she be rear-ended? In fact, they should
be struggling to keep up with her car’s tail lights,” Drew expressed his
bewilderment.
On his way to the hospital, Drew’s heart remained tightly clenched. He had faced life-threatening
situations and stared down the barrel of a gun without flinching, yet Be’s predicament had him all
frazzled.
Axel and Ralph looked nervously at Asher. The air in the corridor
turned dense.
Meanwhile, frost cloaked Asher’s handsome features, and his strong
jawline tensed. He remained silent for what felt like an eternity.
“Ash?” Axel nudged him. “What’s going on?”
“Be’s fine. Just a few scratches and a little shaken up by the
ident.”
After a long pause, Asher withdrew from his thoughts of anger and spoke lightly. “For the next few
days, let’s take turns taking care of Be. It’ll be tough, but necessary. Let’s keep this matter to
ourselves for now. For now, don’t inform Dad and the others about this. They’re all spending time with
Aunt Celeste. Besides, Be wouldn’t want to
burden them either.”
“Ash, you’re pissing me off now. Are you treating us like outsiders ?!”
Drew snapped at him with furrowed brows. “Be is our younger
sister. It’s only right for us to take care of her. We’ll stay by her side
even if you don’t say anything!”
“He’s right. Nothing’s more important than Be,” echoed Axel and
Ralph.
“Ralph and Axel, you both have work to attend to, but I don’t have anything urgent. Steven and I can
stay with Be all day. Both of you should go back and rest.” Amelia spoke and exchanged a
meaningful
nce with Steven.
“It’s okay. I’ve already informed the station.”
Axel immediately declined, sighing with self-reproach. “As Be’s
brother, I’ve never done anything for her since we were young. Now
that she needs someone by her side, how can I not be there for her?
What kind of ridiculous brother would I be, then?”
The Thompson siblings had never schemed against each other, unlike typical high-society families.
They always supported each other through thick and thin. It was a

kind of familial bond that others envied but could not replicate.
“Ash, you’ve arranged everything for us, but what about yourself? Do
you have something to attend to?” Being a prosecutor, Axel had a
keen intuition and sensed that Asher’s behavior was slightly unusual,
as if he were suppressing some anger.
“I have some matters to attend to.”
After that, Asher nced once more at the ward’s door, hesitated briefly, then reentered.
Inside, Bepleted her treatment and now wore a hospital gown, lying still on the bed with her
eyes closed, her state of consciousness
unknown.
Asher’s delicate eyshes fluttered slightly as he approached his sister silently. Leaning down gently,
he kissed her forehead lightly.
“Have a good rest, my dear sister. I’lle check on you againter.”
“Ash…”

Of course, she did not say otherwise.

vulnerable emotions, causing tears to well up in his eyes, nearly
breaking hisposure.
With a somber expression, Asher made his way to the underground
