Chapter 695


    The atmosphere instantly turned extremely tense!


    A second ago, Charleston was still full of energy and preparing to enter the cryo-chamber to hibernate.


    However, at this moment, he couldn’t even breathe and looked like he was in danger!


    All of this happened so suddenly. It was too strange!


    Everyone at present was from the Steele family. No other family was here, not even the Park family


    subordinates. Moreover, all the equipment had been tested countless times and there were no


    problems.


    The Steeles’ top medical equipment and doctors were all back at Steele Castle in Ennd. Therefore,


    they had to send Charleston back to Ennd for immediate treatment.


    Jordan and the others carried their grandfather to Zephyr Three.


    There was a doctor on Zephyr Three, who was trying to stabilize Charleston.


    “Curse… curse… curse…”


    Charleston kept muttering this word as hey there.


    Jordan went to the washroom to vent his uneasiness and anger.


    Victoria and Lauren went to him. Lauren pulled Jordan’s hand and said, “Hubby, don’t worry. Grandpa


    will definitely be fine.”


    Victoria asked, “Hubby, why does Grandpa keep saying the word ‘curse’? What does he mean?”


    Jordan let out a long sigh. “No one from the eight secret families has ever lived past 80 years old.


    Grandpa wanted to escape the curse by undergoing cryonics. Now, he must be thinking that he had


    triggered the curse by doing so.”


    Victoria seemed to understand. “Grandpa believes he copsed not because he’s sick, but because


    he’s cursed?”


    Jordan nodded.


    Lauren continued to pat Jordan’s back tofort him. “I think the curse is too fantastical. Since


    Grandpa isn’t injured or ill, he will be fine.”


    Jordan held Lauren’s hand and forced a smile. “Thank you. I hope so.”


    Zephyr Three flew at high speed and soon arrived at Steele Castle.


    By now, Steele Castle had already received the news. Everyone, including the doctors, nurses and


    even the gardeners and servants of the castle, had been mobilized. They stood at the entrance to greet


    them.


    After the nended, the doctors immediately rushed over and pushed Charleston into the castle.


    Jordan, Jesse and the other family members followed closely behind.


    As they passed by a group of servants, a beautiful and voluptuous woman in a servant’s uniform


    approached Jordan. She asked anxiously, “Jordan, what’s wrong with Grandpa?”


    It was none other than Jordan’s ex-wife, Hailey!


    Jordan was already very upset. When he saw Hailey, who had betrayed him several times, he became


    even angrier. “Why are you still here? Get lost!”


    With that, he ignored Hailey and continued to follow his grandfather.N?velDrama.Org owns this.


    It was Victoria’s first time at Steele Castle, so she was surprised to see Hailey. “Hailey? Why are you


    here?”


    When Hailey saw Victoria, she greeted her politely. “Hello Victoria, we haven’t seen each other for a


    long time. What happened to Jordan’s grandfather?”


    Victoria didn’t like Hailey either. She knew how much Hailey had hurt Jordan in the past!


    Charleston was in a critical condition and Jordan was already very upset by that. Yet, this b*tch was still


    here aggravating him.


    Victoria replied coldly, “Why are you here? You cheated on Jordan and slept with another man. What


    right do you have to be here?”


    At this moment, Lauren exined, “Victoria, Jesse asked Hailey to be a servant here to punish her for


    what she did to Jordan. That is why Hailey is staying here.”


    Victoria nodded before saying to Hailey, “Hailey, perhaps you have repented, but unfortunately, I


    believe that it’s very difficult to change a person’s nature. The moment you have an affair, no matter


    how regretful you are, you will still be tempted in the future and make the same mistakes again. I


    advise you to leave this ce!”


    With that, she walked into the castle with Lauren.


    Hailey was wearing a servant’s uniform and she looked very sweet and innocent. She also had a very


    good figure, not at all inferior to Victoria or Lauren. But she still lowered her head and humbly listened


    to Victoria’s admonitions.


    Only after the two of them had walked far away did Hailey dare to raise her head. She cursed Victoria


    in her heart: ‘Victoria, what right do you have to say that about me?! I was unfaithful, but at least I was


    a virgin when I married Jordan! What about you? You had already slept with countless men by the time


    you met Jordan! You’re just an old, used woman! Only Lauren has the right to scold me for being


    impure!’


    …


    After entering the surgical theater in Steele Castle, the top doctors under the Steele family gathered


    around to treat Charleston. They thought he would soon be out of danger, but even after eight whole


    hours in the operating theater, Charleston remained in critical condition!


    This meant that Charleston might die at any moment!


    “How did this happen?! Why hasn’t my grandfather been cured?! It’s been so many hours! What are


    you doing?! My grandfather just slipped and fell. He didn’t suffer any injuries. He didn’t get shot nor is


    he sick! Why can’t he be cured?” Jordan shouted at one of the doctors outside the operating theater.


    He was burning with anxiety. He could not ept losing his closest family member.


    Ever since he was young, he had been the closest to his grandfather. His rtionship with his


    grandfather was even closer than his rtionship with his parents.


    Jesse also stood at the door. “Jordan, what’s the use of scolding the doctor? He also wants to cure


    Grandpa, right?”


    Jordan looked at Jesse. He always tried to avoid arguing with his brother, but now that his grandfather


    was critically ill, he couldn’t care less!


    Jordan said angrily, “If you hadn’t brought Grandpa to d and discovered that stupidboratory,


    nothing would have happened to him! Also, the Park family aren’t good people. Perhaps this is a trap


    set by the Park family. Why did you let your guard down against them?!”


    Jesse was also angry. “You’re saying that I’m to me for Grandpa’s ident? It was Grandpa’s idea


    to go to d! What kind of trap did the Park family set for us? The human cryonics technology is


    authentic. We managed to get this advanced technology because of this mission! This is all to my


    credit! So whatever technology you brought back is good, while whatever I bring back has harmed


    Grandpa? I know you want to monopolize the Steele family’s business, but you don’t have to stoop to


    such a low level!”


    Victoria hurriedly stood between the two of them and said, “Jesse, that’s not what Jordan meant. Both


    of you, please calm down and stop arguing. If Grandpa finds out that you two are quarreling, he will be


    very upset.”


    Lauren also walked over and held Jordan’s hand. “That’s right, Hubby. Don’t be angry.”


    Jordan shook off Lauren’s hand and left.


    “Hubby, where are you going?” Lauren asked worriedly.


    “I’m going to take a nap!” Jordan said.


    “Hmph.” Jesse snorted. “What an unfilial grandson! Grandpa’s life is in danger and he might die at any


    moment, but Jordan still has the mood to take a nap!”
