How could it be that the moment Joseph arrived, he heard George’s harsh scolding without any courtesy?

“Dad!” He quickly interjected, cutting off George’s angry outburst.

It was only then that George noticed the wide–open hospital room door, with quite a few people outside making a commotion.

His expression immediately darkened.

“What are you staring at?” George brusquely dismissed the onlookers with his fierce and menacing demeanor.

The crowd dispersed, leaving only Joseph behind.

Joseph hurriedly closed the door and didn’t say much to him. Instead, he quickly approached to check on Scarlet’s condition.

Scarlet Square was quietly weeping, but her gaze toward George was filled with resentment.

“Mom, are you alright?” Joseph inquired with concern.

Before Scarlet could reply, George cut in. “What could possibly be wrong with her? She was just vehemently cursing at me a moment ago!”

“George, can’t I curse you for the despicable things you’ve done?” Scarlet confronted him after everyone. else had left.

Her tears hadn’t dried yet as she pointed accusingly at him, her face flushed with anger.

George couldn’t let her insult him without fighting back, so he began cursing at her.

Despite standing several steps apart, they seemed like enemies meeting on a battlefield.

Upon seeing the heated exchange between the two, Joseph felt overwhelmed.

“Mom! Dad! Please stop arguing!” He attempted to interject.

But his voice was drowned out by theirs and went completely ignored. So, he resorted to drastic measures by covering George’s mouth.

“Mmmph- George suddenly found his mouth covered by Joseph’s hand. He glared at him and angrily pushed his hand away. “Why are you covering my mouth?”

“Dad, just calm down first.”

Scarlet sighed deeply, her eyes filled with resentment. Trying to calm him down? He’d rather push me again, wishing I wouldn’t wake up!”

“What are you saying. Scarlet? It’s you who wanted to push me, wishing I wouldn’t wake up, isn’t it? If it weren’t for Fanny needing treatment, you, you…” Content © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

Upon seeing George struggling to catch his breath, Joseph quickly patted him a d attempted to calm him down. “Dad, please, let’s not say anything right now…

While watching George’s effort to regain composure, Joseph also turned to Scarlet and said, “Mom, please, don’t say anything either. You need to rest.”

He was genuinely afraid that the two would continue exposing each other’s secrets.

Thankfully, although they didn’t grant each other any courtesy, they still valued what Joseph had to say and remained silent.

Worried that the argument might escalate, Joseph comforted Scarlet briefly before leading George, whose expression remained grim, out of the ward.

“Dad, why did you come to Northland? You didn’t even tell me beforehand.”

George looked at him irritably as he was pulled out of the ward and asked, confused. “Didn’t your James inform you?”

Before departing Riverdon, he specifically informed James about his trip to the capital, so the latter should have relayed the message to Joseph.

Joseph smacked his forehead, finally recalling that James had indeed called him and mentioned. something about George. But he’d been swamped with work and hadn’t paid much heed. It hadn’t even crossed his mind that George would show up in the capital so soon.

“It completely slipped my mind,” Joseph admitted, then inquired, “Dad, did you really come all this way just to butt heads with Mom? She just woke up, her health hasn’t fully recovered, and she can’t handle any

stress.

Since Scarlet woke up, they all knew George was the culprit behind the shove that injured her. They couldn’t help but feel some resentment toward him. Even though they held Scarlet back from confronting George right away, they all knew it was his fault.

“Is that how you see me?” George asked, displeased. “I just came to see if she’s actually calmed down. Why are you so jittery?”

“Mom already said she wouldn’t come looking for you until Fanny’s ailment is cured. You shouldn’t have made the trip to Northland,” Joseph responded.

George’s arrival in Northland only served to further aggravate Scarlet.

Without waiting for George’s response. Joseph declared. “I’ve got your return ticket covered. I’ll send you

back.

But George promptly declined. “I’ve got other things to take care of. I don’t need you looking out for me.” His primary motive for coming to Northland was to ascertain whether Scarlet truly had no intention of identifying hing, but there were also other loose ends he needed to tie up while he was there.

Joseph didn’t want George causing trouble in Northland, but he was too preoccupied to keep tabs on him, so he reluctantly let him go about his–business.

“You can stay in Northland, Dad, but please refrain from upsetting Mom any further. They had finally

George shot him a glare. “You think I actually want to see her?”

If he hadn’t been concerned about whether Scarlet truly intended to let go of the incident where he had pushed her, he wouldn’t have bothered making a trip to the hospital.

Having heard George’s response, Joseph decided not to press him further and returned to

own affairs.

As soon as George left the hospital, he attempted to reach Dylan, only to discover that his phone unreachable.

He found out in Riverdon that Dylan and Fanny had offended the Collier Family, and he knew it was mostly Dylan’s doing.

Unable to reach Dylan, he decided to go find Fanny.

On the other hand, after spending a cozy day with Jonathan, Angela persuaded him to go to the company.

However, soon after he departed, she stepped out for some shopping, only to bump into an unexpected figure.

“Miss Angela

The person looked her up and down, with unfriendly eyes.

“Miss Shelton?” Angela had crossed paths with Florence only once, but she left a lasting impression, especially with her reminiscent gaze toward Jonathan, akin to Cassandra’s. Angela couldn’t shake the

feeling that Florence harbored similar intentions toward Jonathan.

Florence flashed a faint smile, though her eyes/remained icy. “I didn’t expect you to remember me. Mr. Lawson mention me to you?”

Angela frowned. “No.”

Did

If she hadn’t taken the initiative to ask, how could Jonathan have mentioned Florence? Plus, Florence’s brother’s funeral had taken place just two days prior. If she hadn’t confronted her out of the blue, Angela might have forgotten about her altogether.

“He didn’t mention me? It’s okay if he didn’t. I would like to get to know you. Would you be willing to chat with me?” Florence continued, furrowing her brow.

Angela glanced at her and responded distantly. “It’s not convenient right now. I have things to do.”

“It won’t take up much of your time, Miss Angela.” Florence’s displeasure was evident on her face, and without waiting for Angela to respond, she clapped her hands twice and walked toward the car.

Angela suddenly had a bad feeling as she saw two bodyguards coming down from the car Florence was heading to.

The bodyguards didn’t do anything immediately, but just politely gestured toward Angela. “Please.”

Angela frowned deeply but still followed trailed behind Florence.

The other party came prepared, but it seemed like they didn’t have any malicious intentions. She could meet with them if needed.

However, if possible, she hoped Oliver would notice that she was being stopped.

She didn’t forget to bring Oliver when she went out shopping, but she didn’t expect that she would be stopped just as she asked Oliver to get something.

Although Florence didn’t openly tie her up, if she refused, they might resort to force.

She promised Jonathan that she would always protect herself. At times like this, she knew temporarily complying with Florence was the right thing to do.

Once in the car, Angela wore a blank expression and had no intention of speaking.

The other party wanted to chat with her, but she had no interest in chatting.
