Chapter 186 Floyd Rutherford
Jackson stared at him.
Leward smiled. "I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to die easily, so I took some poison in advance."
Leward's smile made him look even more terrifying.
"I've waited for this moment for too long. I've finally paid my debt to you with my own life," Leward said.
Jackson's expression was cold.
Leward's breath rapidly weakened.
However, at this moment, Draxton suddenly shot him in the heart.
Leward's body bounced and died completely. His eyes were wide open as he looked in the direction of Jackson. His eyes were filled with guilt.
Draxton, with a deadpan exterior, put away his gun.
"He must be killed by us," Draxton said.
Leward was dead, and Jackson was busy holding his funeral.
However, Isabella and Draxton had already started to take action.
Late at night, Isabella and Draxton went to the Sif family with the 18 Blue Crystals, Little Dipper, and Big Dipper
However, when they went to the Sif family, Old Mr Sif was nowhere to be seen.
Isabella and Claire gasped in shock. Isabella whispered, "He escaped?"
Claire's face looked even grimmer than Isabella's. "Damn, he's too sneaky"
Finally, they found Irene huddled in a corner of the garden, shivering.
In just a few days, after her father went crazy that day, everything in the family had changed.
First, her father suddenly disappeared.
Immediately after, the Barclays family launched a crazy attack on the Sif family.
In just two days, the Sif family, once considered the pinnacle of opulence and prosperity, found themselves fallen into a state of disarray and desolation.
The servants in the house ran and fled. Irene heard footsteps approaching and looked up to see Isabella and the others.
She shivered in fear and looked at Isabella in horror
Isabella looked down at her and said, "How pitiful. Old Mr. Sif escaped and left you here alone. Why don't you tell me where he escaped to?"
Irene flinched. "I don't know. Don't ask me. I don't know anything."
Isabella knew that she would not get anything out of her.
They searched the Sif family and found nothing. Finally, they went to the Barclays family.
"Old Mr. Sif escaped. Do you have any leads?" Draxton asked Fernando.
Fernando shook his head. "That old man is very cunning. After knowing that he failed to assassinate Miraculous Doctor, he decisively abandoned his family and fled. "But from what I know of him, he will return. When the assembly begins, he will definitely appear."
Draxton frowned. "There's still half a month before the assembly."
Fernando teased, "You can't wait for half a month?"
Draxton said in a cold tone, "Then let's wait."
It was a good opportunity to see what new tricks Old Mr. Sif could pull.
After Isabella and the others left, Winna walked to Fernando worriedly and asked, "Fernando, I feel sorry for Irene
Fernando looked at his sister and asked gently, "Do you want to help her?"
Winna looked at Fernando carefully and asked, "Can I?"
"Of course," Fernando said.
"However, you can only help her this once," Fernando said seriously
Winna nodded happily "Okay"
As long as Fernando agreed to help Irene, Winna would not worry about other things.
Although she knew that Fernando caused the Sif family's current situation, Winna still wanted to help Irene as much as possible.
She knew that there was a high chance that she and Irene would not be friends anymore.
Winna was still recuperating. Fernando was afraid that she would not be able to take the blow, so he sent someone to settle Irene in an empty apartment.
Knowing that Irene had been settled down, Winna felt relieved and then sighed sadly.
"Irene might not consider you a friend. You've done well enough, Winna. Don't feel bad." Fernando could not bear to see her disappointed and could not help but comfort her.
Winna smiled reluctantly at Fernando, then returned to her room.
Fernando shook his head helplessly. Winna was really too innocent.
As the day of the assembly approached, the major families and forces belonging to The Allied Nations rushed to Fruggia from various places.
In the hospital, they say a bone or muscle injury takes a hundred days to heal. Vanessa had such a fall and she would have to stay at the hospital for at least a hundred days. Alanna had to keep her company at the hospital.
Alanna felt quite vexed, for she could not understand how, even if her attempt at seduction had failed, one could fall in such a manner on a soft carpet. Indeed, it was a wonder to behold. The mother and daughter seemed to outdo one another in the depths of their sorrow.
Footsteps passed by outside the door. Vanessa cast a glance in that direction excitedly, and then the expectation in her eyes quickly turned into disappointment.
"Ally, call your Mr. Vaughn and ask if he's still busy. Why isn't he here to see me?"
Alanna looked at her mother mockingly and said, "Mom, give up. He won't come.
"Even if he comes, it doesn't mean anything. If he's interested in you, then you've succeeded in seducing him."
Hurt, Vanessa looked at Alanna and said, "Ally, what are you talking about? Didn't you ask me to get close to him? You said that he's our only backer."
"I did say that, but he doesn't want you. It seems like you're really old and can't attract men," Alanna said angrily
Vanessa was speechless.
She felt like she had been stabbed in the heart.
At this moment, Alanna's phone suddenly rang.
Both Alanna and Vanessa were stunned.
Alanna picked up her phone. Vanessa asked expectantly, "Ally, is it your Mr Vaughn?"
Alanna looked at her speechlessly "Mom, I already said that Mr. Vaughn won't come. Can't you give up?"
Alanna read the text message on her phone and smiled for the first time in days.
"Who is it? is it a good thing?" Vanessa quickly asked.
Alanna glanced at Vanessa and said, "I can't count on Mom. I can only rely on myself.Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.
"It was a message from a friend. He said that he had arrived in Fruggia and asked if I had time to meet him." "Then go quickly I'm alright by myself," Vanessa quickly said.
There was no need for Vanessa to say that. Alanna would not delay such an important matter
The other party's status was noble, so Alanna did not dare to trouble him to come to the hospital. It was necessary for her to go out and meet him.
At the same time, at Jackson's house, Isabella also received a call.
The caller was Isabella's first patient, Floyd.
Floyd was already 106 years old this year After being treated by Isabella, he was still in good shape. He was also the only person who knew Miraculous Doctor's true identity at that time. In fact, he was the reason why Miraculous Doctor remained mysterious.
Floyd said, "Your medical skills are so magical. You should remain mysterious or it will be very dangerous."
Isabella felt that what he said made a lot of sense.
After that, everyone guessed Miraculous Doctor's true identity. Every time Floyd chatted with Isabella, he felt so proud that he was the only one who knew her true identity.
Not only were they doctors and patients, but they were also friends.
On the phone, Floyd said that his family had come to Fruggia and wanted to meet her
"Then I'll get someone to pick you up. I'm at Master Vaughn's house. You guys can come and stay here too," Isabella said.
Floyd's tone immediately became downcast. "I thought you would come and pick me up personally." Isabella rubbed her forehead helplessly. "Alright, just you wait."
Floyd hung up the phone happily. When he turned around, he saw his great-grandson holding his phone and was about to slip away.
He was instantly furious. "Arvid, where are you going?" Floyd roared angrily.
Arvid turned around with a bitter expression. "Great-grandpa, if you want to see a friend, I want to see a friend too."
"What friends do you have? The person we're gonna meet is Miraculous Doctor." Floyd was wearing a beret and was dressed fashionably At this moment, he was staring with a dignified expression. Arvid said ingratiatingly, "Great-grandpa. It's Alanna. Don't you like her too?"
