Female Novel
Chapter 212
As Leah watched her son and granddaughter leave, she felt a piercing pain in her heart. She wanted tocall out to them and stop them from leaving, but when the words arrived at her lips, she didn’t knowhow to speak up. She could only watch as they walked away.
“Evil creatures, look what you’ve done!” Leah shouted at her grandchildren.
At that moment, a fierce aura exploded from her. The young man and woman couldn’t stand it, and witha plop, they all fell to the ground.
“What do you take this place for? Even though this place isn’t as bustling as Capitalis and otheroverseas cities, it’s not a place where you two can just do as you wish!”
Leah was considered half an Irieson resident, so she knew Irieson more than anyone else. While it wastrue that the economic development in Irieson wasn’t as advanced as that of Capitalis and otheroverseas cities, it was a valuable land and also the gathering place for all the families in Droycore.There were various powerful families involved, and even Quincy, the head of Prescott Hospital, was anoutstanding figure known throughout Droycore. His students were everywhere, both locally andinternationally. He wasn’t someone to be messed with.
Leah’s grandson and granddaughter were geniuses in martial arts, the sort that would come by everyhundred years or so. They were very young, but their capabilities were already out of this world. Evenexperts who were well-known for a long time might not be a match for them. Because of this, the twowere greatly pampered in the family.
Leah had the intention to punish them harshly, but she couldn’t bear to do it. “Go and buy plane ticketsright now and get your sorry butts out of this country! You’re a disgrace to me in Irieson!”
When the young girl heard that, she immediately pouted her little mouth. “Grandma, stop chasing usout of this country. We’ll just return to Capitalis, okay?”
Capitalis was the headquarters of their family. Because of this, Leah could take good care of Declan’sbusiness in Capitalis. The two lived overseas in the past just so they could keep Leah company.
“Go back to Capitalis, then!”
Leah couldn’t bear to chase her grandchildren out of this country either, so she could only settle for thesecond-best option and let them return to Capitalis.
The two were glad enough to know that they could return to Capitalis. They hastily turned around andleft.
Their grandmother rarely got angry, but as soon as she did, even their grandfather had to take coverfrom her wrath. Who were they in comparison? They should just be obedient and leave as they weretold.
After her grandchildren left, Leah returned to her room and put on some decent clothes. Her grandsonhad punched an indent into Declan’s chest, so she had to rush over and check on him.
Meanwhile, Ophelie drove the car as she hurriedly sent Declan to Prescott Hospital.
“Hello, Olivia?” Ophelie dialed her sister’s number, then sobbed pitifully.
“What happened, Ophelie? Don’t cry, tell me what happened.” Olivia had just finished dinner, and shewas sitting on the couch watching TV. When she heard her sister’s sobbing voice, she instantly gotworried.
“Someone injured Uncle Declan. We’re rushing to the hospital now.”novelbin
“What?!” Olivia was so shocked that her mouth fell open. Is Declan hurt? He was fine when I last sawhim, though. Who did it?
“I’ll be right there!” With that, she hung up the phone and went to the kitchen. She walked up toThomas, who was preparing the medicine, and said, “Thomas, someone injured my Uncle Declan, soI’m going to the hospital now.”
Thomas was stunned. He didn’t do anything to Declan, so why did Declan get hurt?
Seeing how anxious Olivia was, Thomas knew it wasn’t the time to be asking such questions. Hehastily put on a coat as he followed Olivia out of the house.
In the emergency room at the hospital, Quincy was carrying out treatment on Declan. His medical skillshad improved significantly, and when he thought about it, it was mostly thanks to ‘The ImperialAcupuncture’ Thomas had given him. Now, it was a piece of cake for him to treat wounds like this.
More than 20 minutes later, the treatment was complete. Quincy then ordered someone to transferDeclan to the VIP ward. “Alright, Ophelie, don’t cry. Your Uncle Declan will be fine after he takes somemedicine.”
“Thank you, Mr. Hofstead.” Ophelie was still sobbing as she thanked Quincy gratefully.
In the entire Pearson Family, save for Olivia, Declan was the one who treated Ophelie the best. Inreality, Declan had already taken over the role of a father in Ophelie’s heart.
“Rest here, and I’ll prepare some medicine for your uncle.”
“Okay!” Ophelie nodded obediently.
Just then, Ophelie’s phone rang. It was a call from Harrison.
“Ophelie, where are you guys? I’m at the entrance of the hotel!”
Harrison was still mad. How could they harm his granddaughter? He would get back at them no matterwhat!
“Grandpa, I’m at the hospital. Come over.”
“What? The hospital?”
Harrison was shocked. His granddaughter must have been seriously injured; she even went to thehospital!
“Don’t worry, Grandpa, I’m not the one who got hurt. It’s Uncle Declan.”
When Harrison heard that, he was even more confused. Even though Declan wasn’t as skilled as hisfather, Terrence, he had practiced martial arts since his youth. He should be quite capable, and he wasalso a core member of the Pearson Family. Who would dare touch him?
With a mind full of questions, Harrison hastily rushed to the hospital.
Harrison soon caught sight of his darling granddaughter sitting on a chair in the hospital corridor.“Ophelie, what exactly happened?”
Ophelie recounted the whole incident truthfully. She didn’t notice that her grandfather’s expression hadturned especially dark.
Harrison’s brows were tightly knitted, for he couldn’t believe that Leah was back. No one else knew herreason for leaving in the first place, but the older generation like him knew it all too well. Leah wasnever as simple as she seemed to be. Also, she was probably up to no good if she chose to come backat such a sensitive time.
“Ophelie, don’t cry. Relax, I promise I’ll make them pay. However, you have to promise me that youcan’t tell the public about this yet.”
Leah’s return must be kept a secret, and no other soul should know about this.
After saying that to Ophelie, Harrison walked toward the dean’s office. His most urgent task right nowwas to make sure that Declan was alright.
However, he had just opened the door when he stood rooted to the spot.
“You—”
Leah was found sitting on a couch opposite Quincy.
“Old Mr. Denver, please have a seat,” Quincy said calmly.
He had just finished preparing the medicine when he ran into Leah. He asked a nurse to administer themedicine to Declan, then stayed behind to accompany the retired first lady of the Pearson Family.
“Madam Wilkerson, you should tell Old Mr. Denver about the incident. After all, he is Olivia andOphelie’s grandfather. I am just an outsider, so I cannot say much about this.”
Harrison glanced at Leah. What did she want to tell him? Also, by the looks of it, it had something to dowith his granddaughters. Just as expected, he had guessed right. The woman didn’t have any goodintentions when she returned.
