The old man stared stonily at his son. “Do you have any objections?”

Michael Marshall furrowed his brows and replied coldly, “You call the shots. What opinions could I possibly have?”

Hidden in the elder man’s eyes was a smoldering anger ready to burst forth. “From now on, whoever it is, they’ll be sent to the countryside to experience real life. I shouldn’t have spoilt them. Otherwise, they’ll forget their roots.” Then, conspicuously, silence filled the hospital ward.

The old man cast a meaningful glance at Matthew Marshall and left.

Feeling frustrated, Michael Marshall went out for a smoke.

In the ward, only Bella Thompson and Matthew Marshall remained. Bella lowered her voice and asked, “Son, why are you going to the countryside for recuperation? Do you have a plan?”

Matthew Marshall opened his eyes slightly, looking at his mother.

Immediately, Bella Thompson moved closer to her son, listening carefully to his words.

“Grandpa wants me to go abroad, but I can’t. He wants me to go to the countryside. I’ll listen. The more hardline Grandpa is, the more we comply; the deeper the guilt Dad will feel, and he’ll naturally side with us. Leave Serene City temporarily, ready ourselves, and when we return, it’ll be declaring war on Daniel Marshall.”

Bella Thompson was left stunned, her eyes wide. A rage that she could hardly contain rose in her heart.

“How dare he try to drive you out of the country? Favoritism is one thing, but acting so cruelly… He’s gone too far. He’s clearly trying to back us into a corner. 𝘧𝓻ℯ𝑒𝑤𝓮𝒷𝓷𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝓬𝓸𝓂

How malicious!”

“Mom, from this moment on, you must be patient. The real show is yet to come. ”

Bella Thompson looked at her son, her eves welling up with tears.

Sniffling, Bella Thompson nodded.

“Don’t worry. I won’t be hysterical anymore. I’ll certainly endure. Gramercy! We will definitely make it. We’ll get through this.”

“When we go to the countryside, Grandpa will surely have someone watching us. So, we shouldn’t do anything. We ought to bid our time till we return to Serene City. We need to allay Grandpa’s worries.”

“You’ve really grown up, son. You’re thinking about everything very thoroughly. I’ll listen to you.”

Daniel Marshall and Olivia Jenkins had both watched the hospital’s surveillance footage.

Just as Matthew Marshall had said, he was smoking in the corner of the stairs.

From the back, facing the cameras, his feet can’t be seen clearly in the footage. Therefore, it’s uncertain whether he deliberately fell from the stairs. In the footage, when descending the staircase, he’s seen looking around.

If he had carefully planned this self-inflicted ruse, Matthew Marshall’s mindset was terrifying — he was suffering too much. Matthew Marshall must be a master of strategems!

The hospital director’s expression was grave. He cautiously spoke up: “According to the on-duty nurse, Matthew Marshall asked her to get a blanket. When she returned from getting it, he was nowhere to be found. It was not until after the nurse searched for a while, she found Matthew Marshall at the bottom of the stairs, moaning in pain.”

Adjusting his glasses on the bridge of his nose, the director continued: “We reviewed the footage. The on-duty nurse didn’t lie. She was seen getting the blanket and then later searching all over. If we punish her, it wouldn’t seem fair. I respectfully ask Chief Daniel Marshall to consider this.”

Daniel Marshall’s hawk-like gaze bore into the director, “In your opinion, how should this be handled? Why was no one attending to Matthew Marshall in his ward?”

The director inwardly broke out in a cold sweat. “Matthew Marshall was about to be discharged and was able to take care of himself, theoretically speaking, he didn’t need an attendant. Still, it was indeed an oversight on the hospital’s part. The on-duty staff will be reprimanded. Chief Daniel Marshall, is this acceptable to you?”

“Handle it as you see fit, but never let such negligence occur in the future.

Otherwise, you’ll have to leave the hospital.”

The director clenched his lips. His face grew even graver.

Exiting the director’s office, Olivia Jenkins decisively said, “No need for me to act as the go-between. They’ll definitely seek me out..”
