“What is your solution, then? I’ve heard that he survived a recent poisoning attempt that nearly cost him


    his life. If I identify the perpetrator behind this, they shall meet their end.”


    udia’s mention of Marcus‘ recovery served to preempt any ill- intentioned schemes.


    Jonah’s mocking facade momentarily froze. With a tentative nce at Bruce, he queried, “Is that so?”


    “Humph!”


    udia emitted a snort, her expression unyielding, leaving her words unspoken.


    Jonah, discerning her intention, refrained from pushing his luck.


    “Freyja, apany Mrs. Thomas home. Hospitals are a breeding ground for germs, not suited for the


    elderly.”


    udia’s eyes met Freyja’s, conveying her consent.


    With that, Freyja gently guided udia’s exit, leaving Jonah fuming in her wake.


    The moment udia departed, Jonah’s temper spiraled, impelling him to yank at his tubes.


    “Even in my present state, I can’t rise from this bed, yet that wretched boy merely kneels for a moment.


    Such tant bias,” Jonah vented, anger seething.


    Bruce’s brow furrowed as Jonah’s agitation intensified. The doctor had advocated rest and cautioned


    against anger.

    Bruce traversed the room, summoning the doctor to reattach the tubes that Jonah had dislodged.


    Jonah seized Bruce’s arm, eyes aze with frustration.


    “Bruce, eliminate Marcus now. Only his death can satiate my hatred.”


    “Dad, your recovery is our priority.”


    Taking immediate action now would enrage udia further. Furthermore, Marcus’ heightened vignce


    left them with little chance of sess; a gradual approach was necessary.


    Jonah’s fury surged.


    “This vexes me incessantly. Marcus’ demise would alleviate my anguish.” Sensing Bruce’s hesitation,


    Jonah discerned the need for an incentive.


    Observing Bruce and Marcus’ shared upbringing and the burgeoning camaraderie they dubbed a


    “bromance,” Jonah determined that the moment had arrived to unveil a concealed truth to Bruce.


    As a precaution, Jonah aimed to forestall any undue gratitude his son might extend towards individuals


    who hadn’t earned such des.


    “Bruce, ever wonder why your grandmother holds Marcus in such esteem?


    You’re also her grandson, and your intellect is undeniable. Yet her favor eludes you.”
