After reading this sentence, Eddie, who had been silent, suddenly snatched the letter and crumpled it into a ball before throwing it into the trash can. Then, they heard him grit his teeth and curse, “Damn it! Why doesn’t he take care of his own wife and child himself?”


    “He should my sister her and not just walk away like this!”


    “Dragon Serpent Isle, right? I’m going to go and drag him back here!”


    Cheyenne was stunned. She had always remembered Eddie as a gentle and elegant person, so it was surprising to hear him curse.


    Iker contemted for a while before making a startling decision – he would also go!


    Now that things have turned out like this, just as Leandro had persuaded Cheyenne not to take risks, his grandson-inw had gone to that cursed ce. Now his grandson was going too, along with a meddling member from the Todd family.


    The old man felt a headacheing on, “Go ahead then, do as you please. I can’t control you young folks anymore.”


    “Could it be that my constant nagging is hindering your actions here? Since I’m so bothersome, I might as well take Kate to Onistead tomorrow to recuperate, so she won’t worry about you all.”


    Knowing that her grandfather was speaking in anger, Eddie quickly tried to plead with him when he threatened to really take Kate away.


    “Grandpa, please don’t be like this. I’m doing this for my sister’s own good. And don’t worry, I’m all grown up now, I can take care of myself.”


    A grandson knows his grandchild best. Despite Eddie’s usual gentle and agreeable demeanor, he was inherently stubborn. Once he set his mind on something, he would go through with it even if it meant putting his life at risk. That was just how he was!


    Since he couldn’t stop him, Leandro felt a pang of bitterness. He wished he were twenty years younger so he could go with them and take care of these kids in case of any trouble. Unfortunately, he was old now, and bringing his frail body along would only burden them.


    Rather than being angry at Eddie for not heeding his advice, it was more likely that he was angry at himself for growing old and bing useless. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have let the children take such risks.


    “Well… I won’t stop you all, but you should make a n carefully before take action. Acting rashly will only put you in danger and be of no help in resolving the issue.”


    Hearing his tone soften, Cheyenne’s eyes lit up. “Old Mr. Zamora, rest assured. With Master Iker here, and I and Eddie not being reckless individuals, you can trust us.”


    Listening to her trying to be cute and agreeable, Leandro, still angry, tapped the floor with his cane and turned his head away, no longer looking at her.


    “You’re the most impulsive one here. How dare you say you’re not reckless?”


    “Master Iker, please take good care of them both when the timees.”


    Leandro chose Iker because he was a seasoned military man, and among the three of them, he had the highestbat ability. His own grandson was a weak schr, and while Cheyenne was intelligent, she was still a woman and would be at a disadvantage in a fight.


    Iker nodded expressionlessly. “Leandro, rest assured, I will do my best to take care of everything.”


    “Goodd.”


    It was fortunate for the Todd family to have Iker!


    Police station.


    A handcuffed woman sat in a chair, ring furiously with big eyes at the young police officer in front of her as she spoke vehemently.


    “I’ve said it already, I’m not a spy! I’m a journalist. Here’s my press card. If you don’t believe me, you can take a look.”


    “All of this is nder from that woman, Cheyenne. It’s unbelievable that she’s the hospital director with such a corrupt moral character!”


    The woman in question is the female journalist who caused a scene at the hospital earlier and was brought to the police station by Iker’s men.


    Gordon took on the case but had to leave, so he passed it on to his subordinate, Alex.


    Alex Lane is new and lucky to have been chosen by Gordon as his apprentice for personal guidance. Today marks the first case he has handled since joining the team.


    And now, he’s faced with such an annoying woman who hasn’t stopped talking since she arrived.


    As noisy as a parrot!


    “Quiet!”


    Finally, unable to bear it any longer, Alex angrily mmed his hand on the desk in front of him, trying to look fierce by stiffening his delicate face.


    The female journalist finally shut up.


    Alex gave her a cold nce and asked, “Name?”


    “It’s on my press card. Don’t police officers have to study cultural courses now? You don’t even recognize the characters and you still want to ask me?”This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.


    This remark offended all the police officers present, and several of them nced over with unhappy expressions.


    Taking a deep breath, Alex needed to stay calm.


    “Fine, I’ll check it myself… Your name is Susan, right? How old are you? Where are you from?”


    As soon as the name “Susan” was mentioned, the female journalist blew her fringe in anger and loudly retorted.


    Gordon returned at this moment, having heard clearly what happened earlier.


    After a brief pause, he strode in.


    Alex’s face turned red, about to explode, but a cold, stern voice came from behind.


    “Go pour me a ss of water first.”


    “Master, when did youe back?”


    Alex was so shocked that he almost bit his tongue, then dejectedly lowered his head. Would his master be disappointed in him for the way this case turned out?


    Well, he should go pour water first.


    As Gordon arrived, Susan’s arrogance diminished significantly because this man in front of her was different from the inexperienced Alex.


    The man’s sharpness and experience have been umted over many years of handling cases.


    Indeed, his first question stunned Susan.


    “Now, tell me, who instructed you to cause trouble at the hospital?”
