Chapter 447 No Longer Messing Around
Kaydron, who was the current subject of Fanny’s thoughts, was now sitting in the police station feeling
frustrated.
The good news was that they wouldn’t be detained for long. He believed that as long as he could
contact Fanny and have her use her connections and efforts, he could easily be released on bail.
However, he couldn’t reach her at all, which made him extremely peeved.
“Still can’t get through?” Despite his frustration, Kaydron remained polite as he asked the police officer
at the station.
An officer ced down the cell phone and replied, “No.”
Kaydron boiled with anger, and he was already nning to make Fanny regret her indifference toward
him now.
On the other hand, James had already rushed to Nortnd. After learning from Scarlet that Joseph had
been taken to the police station, he spent a day sorting out his affairs before. hurriedlying to
Nortnd.
Unfortunately, he arrived at the wrong time, as Scarlet had gone to the hospital when he came
knocking.
Thinking that he hadn’t seen his younger brother in a long time, James decided to head straight to the
hospital.
Currently, Scarlet was indeed at the hospital, but she was not in Zacharias‘ hospital room. Instead, she
was inquiring about his condition with the attending physician. Upon learning that he had fainted again
that day, she lost control of her emotions, and tears kept streaming down her face.
The doctorforted her for a moment before escorting her out of the office.
At this point, Scarlet had alreadyposed herself and went to visit Zacharias.
“Mom.” Zacharias, who had been daydreaming in the hospital room, called out when Scarlet walked in.
Upon seeing his appearance, Scarlet couldn’t hold back her tears once more.
“Mom, please don’t cry,” Zacharias hurriedlyforted her.
However, she said, “I know. I’ll find a cure. Your illness will be treated, so don’t worry about

anything else.”
There was a certain determination in her eyes that made Zacharias a little stunned.
He pursed his lips and did not respond.
Scarlet didn’t say much more, afraid of making him feel ufortable.
After a long pause, Zacharias finally said, “Mom, don’t worry I’m worried about Fanny being home
alone.”
You should go home after this.Content provided by N?velDrama.Org.
Scarlet nced at the time and nodded. “Okay, I’ll head back for now.”
Fanny should being home from school by now. However, before she could leave the hospital
gates, she received a call from James, who had arrived in Nortnd, and he informed her that there
was no one at home.
Scarlet was puzzled. If Fanny wasn’t home at this hour, could it be that she was also on her way to the
hospital?
James didn’t leave her much time to overthink, and as soon as he heard she was at the hospital, he
immediately said he woulde over.
At first, Scarlet was about to stop him, but upon thinking that Fanny might also be on her way to the
hospital, she held back. After some thought, she decided to call Fanny to check on her.
However, when she called, she found that Fanny’s phone was switched off. This immediately filled her
with even more confusion, and a sense of unease crept into her heart.
When James arrived at the hospital,
he saw Scarlet with swollen eyes that hadn’t yet subsided.
“Mom, why are you crying?” Although James spoke words of concern, there was a hint of criticism in
his eyes that he himself was not aware of.
Scarlet suddenly felt a bit uneasy, but she still let out a sigh of relief at the sight of James. Help has
finally arrived, she thought.
She looked at James. This was the first time she had seen her eldest son since she had woken up from
aa. For some reason, she always felt she had grown distant from him after not. seeing him for a
while.
James noticed Scarlet’s unease and asked in confusion, “Mom, are you feeling unwell? Did you have a
check–up after waking up? Should Ie with you for aplete examination?”
She quickly shook her head. “There’s no need for a checkup. I’m fine. The doctor said that the reason I
was in aa was because there was a blood clot in my brain that hadn’t

dissipated, but now that it’s gone, everything is alright.”
After waking up, Joseph had dragged her to undergo a full–body examination, which was so extensive
and varied that it left her feeling dizzy, and she really didn’t wish to go through it again.
James didn’t insist after hearing Scarlet’s words, but it was Scarlet who, recalling the examination,
once again thought of Joseph and couldn’t help but feel her eyes water.
Joseph was still imprisoned, but she, as his mother, had no way to help him and had to rely on her
eldest son to help her out, which made her extremely guilty.
James didn’t realize what Scarlet was thinking but suddenly asked, “Mom, where is Zac’s ward? I’ll go
to check on him first.”
Compared to Scarlet, who was once in aa but was now lively and active, James was more worried
about Zacharias, whose body had never fully recovered.
Scarlet, who was already in a low mood from thinking about Joseph, felt her heart sink further into her
stomach when she heard James mention Zacharias.
“I’ll take you

he followed her to the ward.
see Zac. It’s been a long time since you’ve seen him. It’s time to catch up.”
Scarlet couldn’t help but think that their mother–son rtionship might have faded a bit after not seeing
each other for a while. However, for some reason, she suddenly thought of George.
Back then, George was sent back to Riverdon after starting a fuss, which most likely put him into close
contact with James. Could it be that he was now so distant from her because of George?
Once the seed of doubt was nted, it would quickly grow and develop, forming an indelible shadow.
On one hand, Scarlet felt that James would not be influenced by George, but she also feared that it
was George’s doing at the same time, which led to her feeling conflicted.
In the end, she couldn’t resist asking, “How is your father doingtely?”
James was surprised by Scarlet’s sudden mention of George, and he turned his head to look
at her walking ahead of him on the left, as if trying to read her expression.
Upon seeing Scarlet walking while staring at the ground, looking rtively calm, he replied, “Mom, Dad
has no longer been messing around recently.”

Indeed, George had not been causing troubletely, not for any other reason, but because he didn’t
have much money left. When he owed 12 thousand at the casino in Nortnd, it was James who
helped him out from afar. After George returned to Riverdon, he received at warning from James and
had now calmed down a lot morepared to before. D
“Oh, Scarlet responded indifferently, as if she was not really interested.
Seeing that she didn’t ask any further, James remained silent.
Although George stopped messing around, he developed a liking for alcohol. However, ast long as he
only drank at home, James wouldn’t interfere. Therefore, their rtionship remained rtively
harmonious.
James continued to trail behind Scarlet, and when she stopped in front of a hospital room, he furrowed
his brow as well.
After she entered the hospital room, he saw Zacharias‘ paleplexion. He had not been informed in
advance about James‘ visit, so he was surprised to see him at first.
However, he quickly understood why Scarlet had kept it from him, as they soon started discussing
saving Joseph and finding Ang. 1)
