How could it be that the moment Joseph arrived, he heard George’s harsh scolding without any
courtesy?
“Dad!” He quickly interjected, cutting off George’s angry outburst.
It was only then that George noticed the wide–open hospital room door, with quite a few people outside
making amotion.
His expression immediately darkened.
“What are you staring at?” George brusquely dismissed the onlookers with his fierce and menacing
demeanor.
The crowd dispersed, leaving only Joseph behind.
Joseph hurriedly closed the door and didn’t say much to him. Instead, he quickly approached to check
on Scarlet’s condition.
Scarlet Square was quietly weeping, but her gaze toward George was filled with resentment.
“Mom, are you alright?” Joseph inquired with concern.
Before Scarlet could reply, George cut in. “What could possibly be wrong with her? She was just
vehemently cursing at me a moment ago!”
“George, can’t I curse you for the despicable things you’ve done?” Scarlet confronted him after
everyone. else had left.
Her tears hadn’t dried yet as she pointed usingly at him, her face flushed with anger.
George couldn’t let her insult him without fighting back, so he began cursing at her.
Despite standing several steps apart, they seemed like enemies meeting on a battlefield.
Upon seeing the heated exchange between the two, Joseph felt overwhelmed.
“Mom! Dad! Please stop arguing!” He attempted to interject.
But his voice was drowned out by theirs and wentpletely ignored. So, he resorted to drastic
measures by covering George’s mouth.
“Mmmph- George suddenly found his mouth covered by Joseph’s hand. He red at him and angrily
pushed his hand away. “Why are you covering my mouth?”
“Dad, just calm down first.”
Scarlet sighed deeply, her eyes filled with resentment. Trying to calm him down? He’d rather push me
again, wishing I wouldn’t wake up!”
“What are you saying. Scarlet? It’s you who wanted to push me, wishing I wouldn’t wake up, isn’t it? If it
weren’t for Fanny needing treatment, you, you…”

Upon seeing George struggling to catch his breath, Joseph quickly patted him a d attempted to calm
him down. “Dad, please, let’s not say anything right now…
While watching George’s effort to regainposure, Joseph also turned to Scarlet and said, “Mom,
please, don’t say anything either. You need to rest.”
He was genuinely afraid that the two would continue exposing each other’s secrets.
Thankfully, although they didn’t grant each other any courtesy, they still valued what Joseph had to say
and remained silent.
Worried that the argument might escte, Josephforted Scarlet briefly before leading George,
whose expression remained grim, out of the ward.
“Dad, why did youe to Nortnd? You didn’t even tell me beforehand.”
George looked at him irritably as he was pulled out of the ward and asked, confused. “Didn’t your
James inform you?”
Before departing Riverdon, he specifically informed James about his trip to the capital, so thetter
should have ryed the message to Joseph.
Joseph smacked his forehead, finally recalling that James had indeed called him and mentioned.
something about George. But he’d been swamped with work and hadn’t paid much heed. It hadn’t even
crossed his mind that George would show up in the capital so soon.
“Itpletely slipped my mind,” Joseph admitted, then inquired, “Dad, did you reallye all this way
just to butt heads with Mom? She just woke up, her health hasn’t fully recovered, and she can’t handle
any
stress.
Since Scarlet woke up, they all knew George was the culprit behind the shove that injured her. They
couldn’t help but feel some resentment toward him. Even though they held Scarlet back from
confronting George right away, they all knew it was his fault.
“Is that how you see me?” George asked, displeased. “I just came to see if she’s actually calmed down.
Why are you so jittery?”
“Mom already said she wouldn’te looking for you until Fanny’s ailment is cured. You shouldn’t have
made the trip to Nortnd,” Joseph responded.
George’s arrival in Nortnd only served to further aggravate Scarlet.
Without waiting for George’s response. Joseph dered. “I’ve got your return ticket covered. I’ll send
you
back.
But George promptly declined. “I’ve got other things to take care of. I don’t need you looking out for
me.” His primary motive foring to Nortnd was to ascertain whether Scarlet truly had no intention
of identifying hing, but there were also other loose ends he needed to tie up while he was there.
Joseph didn’t want George causing trouble in Nortnd, but he was too preupied to keep tabs on
him, so he reluctantly let him go about his–business.
“You can stay in Nortnd, Dad, but please refrain from upsetting Mom any further. They had finally

George shot him a re. “You think I actually want to see her?”
If he hadn’t been concerned about whether Scarlet truly intended to let go of the incident where he had
pushed her, he wouldn’t have bothered making a trip to the hospital.
Having heard George’s response, Joseph decided not to press him further and returned to
own affairs.

company.

figure.
“Miss Ang
The person looked her up and down, with unfriendly eyes.
“Miss Shelton?” Ang had crossed paths with Florence only once, but she left asting impression,
especially with her reminiscent gaze toward Jonathan, akin to Cassandra’s. Ang couldn’t shake the
feeling that Florence harbored simr intentions toward Jonathan.
Florence shed a faint smile, though her eyes/remained icy. “I didn’t expect you to remember me. Mr.
Lawson mention me to you?”
Ang frowned. “No.”

If she hadn’t taken the initiative to ask, how could Jonathan have mentioned Florence? Plus, Florence’s
brother’s funeral had taken ce just two days prior. If she hadn’t confronted her out of the blue,
Ang might have forgotten about her altogether.
“He didn’t mention me? It’s okay if he didn’t. I would like to get to know you. Would you be willing to
chat with me?” Florence continued, furrowing her brow.
Ang nced at her and responded distantly. “It’s not convenient right now. I have things to do.”
“It won’t take up much of your time, Miss Ang.” Florence’s displeasure was evident on her face, and
without waiting for Ang to respond, she pped her hands twice and walked toward the car.
Ang suddenly had a bad feeling as she saw two bodyguardsing down from the car Florence
was heading to.
The bodyguards didn’t do anything immediately, but just politely gestured toward Ang. “Please.”

Once in the car, Ang wore a nk expression and had no intention of speaking.
The other party wanted to chat with her, but she had no interest in chatting.
