The Lime Family was facing tough times due to the pressure from the Tuckson Family. It seemed like they were on the brink of collapse.

Fortunately, the Tuckson Family didn’t aim to completely crush them. After a period of harassment, they backed off.

Just when things settled with the Tucksons, George came knocking by catching Dylan off guard with a brutal beating.

Despite sending him to jail, George surprisingly got out quickly and repeatedly tried to cause trouble.

Frustrated, Dylan turned to his friend Joey for help.

That was when Joey unexpectedly crossed paths with George.

At this moment, George, inebriated and unaware of being set up, was recklessly gambling at the table, fueled by alcohol–induced bravado.

Alcohol emboldened him, making him do things he wouldn’t dare otherwise.

After a few small wins, his confidence soared.

Joey came back and was still praising and encouraging beside him. He immediately stopped his original intention of gambling a few times and leaving.

However, most of the subsequent gambling sessions didn’t go as he wished.

Despite this, fueled by alcohol and the desire to win, he continued to gamble time and time again. After losing, he even borrowed money to

gamble under Joey’s influence.

Meanwhile,

Three days later, Scarlet was discharged from the hospital. Her first action upon leaving was to wheel herself over to find Angela.

Fanny volunteered to accompany her and appeared excited.

Just after training, barely out of school, Angela caught sight of the two approaching.

She frowned, barely sparing them a glance, and simply went the other

way.

Oliver diligently stood guard beside Angela and effectively separated Fanny and Scarlet.

“Angela, stop right there!”

Seeing Angela blatantly ignoring her, Scarlet almost leaned over in anger, slapped the armrest of the wheelchair, and yelled fiercely.

Despite having recently woken up, her voice carried a strong tone, far from someone fresh out of the hospital.

Angela paid no mind and continued to walk ahead, while Oliver turned to glare at the two of them. He shielded Angela as they made their way outside the school.

Both Scarlet and Fanny were startled by Angela’s reaction, but Fanny still pushed Scarlet trailing not far behind Angela.

Without a word from Angela, Scarlet shouted, “Angela!”

Angela didn’t even bat an eyelid and continued to walk away.

But after a few steps, she spotted Christopher approaching.

He deliberately stood in her way, while Oliver swiftly positioned himself in front of Christopher.

Upon seeing Christopher, Fanny’s eyes lit up, but she refrained from greeting him. Instead, she earnestly addressed Angela, “Angela, your mother has come to see you in person. Why won’t you even acknowledge her?”

Angela sneered and didn’t respond to Fanny. She just turned and gave a casual glance to Scarlet.

“What is it that you want to say?”

Christopher noticed Angela’s reluctance to leave and approached Scarlet and Fanny at that moment.

He had been kept busy by Jane these past few days, but as soon as he got the message from Fanny seeking help, he quickly brushed off Jane and offered his assistance.

Scarlet was quite irritated by Angela’s attitude. She slapped the armrest and said, “You promised to treat Zacharias, who is now in critical condition. Hurry and come to the hospital with me!”

Angela gave a cold smile, “Didn’t your good daughter Fanny inform you? I’m not treating anymore.”

She chose not to engage with these individuals, she simply gave Oliver a look and turned to continue walking out.

Upon hearing her words, the three of them attempted to stop her, but several bodyguards swiftly intervened and blocked their path.

As Angela was escorted into the car by Oliver, the bodyguards followed suit and entered the car behind her.

The three of them were frightened by the bodyguards, and they remained silent for a long time.

It wasn’t until Angela’s car and the bodyguards‘ car had driven away that Christopher began discussing Angela.

Scarlet and Fanny were equally displeased with Angela, their expressions grim.

At that moment, Joseph from the hospital contacted several people.

Zacharias‘ health had taken a turn for the worse.

They rushed to the hospital and found Joseph looking dejected.

Upon receiving the news, James in Riverdon decided to hurry to Northland.

The Kins Family’s business in Riverdon was already struggling, and with Zacharias in critical condition, James didn’t hesitate to leave Riverdon and head to Northland.

“Will Zacharias be okay?” Fanny’s eyes were red from crying.

While others were also feeling uneasy, none had the time to console her. Christopher was the only one who sat beside Fanny and made an effort to be sensitive to her emotions.

“Don’t worry, Fanny, things will improve,” he assured her, though he doubted his own words.

“Thank you, Christopher.” Fanny cried so hard that she was exhausted, and she leaned on his chest.

JMMMM

Before he could say more, his phone suddenly rang with a distinct ringtone, catching him off guard.

Box 89.49

It was a tone set by Jane at the instigation of her mischievous friend. They jokingly called it Jane’s “call–the–slave” ringtone because it always got Christopher’s attention like a slave being called.

Upon seeing Christopher’s reaction, Fanny looked at him with concern. “What’s wrong, Christopher?”

Meeting her gaze, Christopher felt panicked and quickly said, “It’s nothing, I just need to take this call.”

With that, he stood up and hurried down the hallway to answer the call.

Fanny felt a pang in her heart as she noticed Joseph and Scarlet, both wearing mournful expressions, too preoccupied to notice her standing by the entrance of the emergency room.

She could sense that Christopher was keeping something from her.

Once Christopher was out of earshot, he answered Jane’s call. Since their last encounter at the bar, Jane had been calling Christopher to various locations.

Despite his injuries not fully healed at the time, she showed no mercy. She often put him in difficult situations and mostly left Harley to harass him at her whims.

Jane had something on Christopher which made her confident he wouldn’t dare to complain to the authorities.

As soon as the call connected, she gave an address without pleasantries and hung up.

Christopher clenched his fists but knew he had to go.

After some hesitation, he composed himself and returned outside the emergency room.

Fanny kept a watchful eye on him and breathed a sigh of relief when he returned. She couldn’t bear the thought of him abandoning her at such a crucial moment.

As Christopher approached, Fanny stood up with concern and asked, “Christopher, are you feeling unwell? Why is your face so pale?”

Christopher smiled weakly. “I’m fine, but the school suddenly called me back for a while, I…”

He made up a feeble excuse, hoping she wouldn’t press further.

Before she could respond, Joseph, who had been listening, walked over to Christopher and said, “Go take care of school matters, we’ll wait here.”

Christopher agreed and bid farewell to Scarlet before departing.

Fanny lowered her head. She sensed that Christopher wasn’t truly going back to school.

“Fanny, come here, we need to talk to you.”

Upon hearing Joseph’s words, Fanny followed him.

Joseph led Fanny to Scarlet, who was gazing at the emergency room door as if willing it to open sooner.

“Joseph, what is it that you want to tell me?”

Whether it was her imagination or not, she couldn’t shake the feeling that Joseph had purposely sent Christopher away, and whatever he was about to say might also involve Christopher.
