Chapter 235
Ethan settled Ines into the hospital bed next to him. She was out cold, but tears still flowed silently
down her cheeks, just as if she was wide awake.
All Ethan could do was continually wipe away her tears. He wished he could take all her pain for
her, but all he could do right now was talk to her, trying to soothe her emotions.
But it didn''t do any good. Her tears just wouldn''t stop, and her shoulders twitched slightly.
Frightened, Ethan quickly called for the doctor again. The doctor, after examining her, could only
shake his head. They couldn''t control a patient''s emotions. They could only wait for her to calm
down on her own.
"Will there be any issues if this continues?" Ethan asked, frowning. "She''ll definitely be
dehydrated. If she doesn''t improve soon, call me back. I''ll have a nurse give her a saline drip. It
would help if you kept talking to her. Even though she''s unconscious, look at her current state. She
must still be aware."
Ethan nodded, took off his shoes, climbed into bed, held her tightly and talked to her.
Hisforting words didn''t seem to help. Within a short time, his entire sleeve was soaked with
tears.
Her hair was sticking to her face with tears. Fearing it was making her ufortable, Ethan got up
and fetched a basin of warm water. He gently wiped her face and nted a soft kiss on her
forehead, saying, "Izzy, stop crying. You''ll ruin your eyes. I''m really worried about you."
Maybe she had cried herself out, or maybe she''d run out of tears, but Ines finally calmed down, and
lay quietly in his arms. Ethan breathed a sigh of relief.
At that moment, Ss quietly pushed open the door. He looked at Ines on the bed and asked,
"How''s Ms Ines doing now?"
"She''s been crying non-stop. She must''ve tired herself out. She''s finally stopped."
"Mr Meyer." Ss called softly.
Ethan knew he had something to say, so he slowly stood up. As soon as he did, Ines furrowed her
brow. Ethan had to gently pat her back for a while, waiting until she had adjusted before he got up.
Ethan quietly closed the door. Before Ss could speak, he couldn''t help but ask, "What happened?
Everything was fine tonight. I even spoke to him on the phone when I got home. He seemed fine
then. How could he just suddenly pass away?"
"Mr Galeana fell down the stairs when he got up to take his medication in the middle of the night.
The doctors said it was a cerebral haemorrhage caused by high blood pressure. It happened very
quickly."
Ethan eyed him suspiciously. "He got up in the middle of the night to take his medicine?"
Ss nodded. "Yes, I found him lying at the foot of the stairs when I got up to use the bathroom. He
was unconscious by then. I found a few pills on the table in his room."

"What kind of medicine was he taking?"
Ss showed him the medication in his hand. "I had my doubts at first, but I just confirmed with the
doctor that these are indeedmon blood pressure medicine."
"Did he usually have high blood pressure symptoms?"
Ss nodded. "Mr Galeana has had high blood pressure for many years, and he always had
medication on hand at home."
Despite Ss''s exnations, Ethan couldn''t help but furrow his brow. Normally, unless feeling
particrly unwell, a sleeping person wouldn''t wake up to take blood pressure medicine. For
Hunter, the most likely scenario was that he woke up due to pain and took some anti-cancer drugs.
"Ss, we should call the police. This may not be a simple ident. Called your home and tell the
staff not to clean today. Don''t touch anything."
"Do you think Mr Galeana''s situation was man-made, not an ident?"
Ethan nodded. "Either way, letting the professionals investigate will put our minds at ease."
Hearing Ethan''s words, Ss didn''t ask any further. He immediately called the house staff and then
the police.
Ethan returned to the hospital room. Ines was having a nightmare again, crying out for her "Daddy"
and shaking slightly. Ethan quickly went over, holding her body still,forting her, "Izzy, it''s okay.
You''re just having a dream."
Ines seemed to hear him and gradually calmed down.
Erica''s call came in at that moment. "Ethan, it''s nearly 8 o''clock. Why haven''t you brought Izzy back
yet?"
Ethan said, "Mom, Izzy and I are at the hospital. Hunter had an ident and passed away."
Erica was taken aback, thinking she had misheard. She asked again, "What did you just say? Who
passed away?"
"Ines''s biological father, Hunter," Ethan said calmly.
Erica clutched her chest, still a bit stunned. "How could this happen? Didn''t you guys just have
dinner at their housest night? How could things happen so suddenly? How''s Izzy doing now?"
"Izzy''s not in a good state. She cried until she fainted. She just managed to fall asleep. I''m not quite
sure about the specifics yet."
"Ah, she''s always been bad at expressing her emotions. You need to guide her and not let her
overthink."
"I know, Mom. Don''t worry too much. I''ll take care of her."
Even though Ethan reassured her, Erica still couldn''t fully rx.
"No, I''lle over right away. I don''t trust you two on your own." Ethan thought for a moment, then
stopped Erica. "Mom, you don''t need toe. Just go to the office. Thepany will need you to
hold the fort for a while. After Hunter''s departure, the Galeana Group will definitely be in a mess.
Izzy''s not in a state to handle intense work right now, so I''ll definitely go to the Galeana Group to
help her out."
"Don''t worry about me. Although I have not regrly handled thepany''s affairs these past few
years, I can manage. What I''m most worried about is Izzy. I''ll call Lauren Nelson and ask her and
Cam to look after Izzy. She''s not just one person now, but three. We can''t afford any idents.
You''ll be busy dealing with the Galeana Group''s affairs. How can you spare the energy to take care
of her?"
"Mom, you''re very considerate. I don''t have the energy to spare right now."
