Refusing to Remarry: Mr. Hawthorne, You Are Out-Chapter 151: Waiting for a Rabbit by the Tree

Chapter 151: Chapter 151: Waiting for a Rabbit by the Tree

The brother and sister both felt a joy.

John Franklin immediately stood up; after all, he was very interested in the brand new blood system and was eager to see Mrs. Hawthorne’s recovery condition.

"Let’s go, let’s see the person you saved."

Raine Sinclair also got up without the slightest hesitation and quickly headed towards Silas Linton’s ward.

John Franklin went in first, did a simple examination, and then asked the nurse to leave. Only then did Raine Sinclair enter.

Although Silas Linton was awake, he was still very weak, lying on the bed, half-closing his eyes and listlessly staring at the ceiling.

"What’s happened to me..."

Hearing her weak voice, Raine Sinclair couldn’t hold back, tears streaming down.

"Grandma." Raine Sinclair walked over and held her hand.

Silas Linton heard the voice, and feeling the warmth on the back of her hand, she hesitated slightly and slowly turned her head.

What she saw was Raine Sinclair’s familiar and endearing face, and instinctively, she brought out a slight smile, "Is it Raine... you’ve come to see Grandma?"

Raine Sinclair nodded quickly, remembering her grandma’s spirited appearance in the past, and seeing her struggle to speak now, felt a sudden wave of heartache.

Who on earth had such a deep-seated hatred for Grandma to resort to poisoning!!

"Grandma, it’s good that you’re awake..."

Raine Sinclair, eyes blurred with tears, her voice choked with sobs.

Seeing her cry, Silas Linton raised her hand to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes with the back of her hand.

"Good child, don’t cry, isn’t Grandma fine now?"

As soon as she finished speaking, John Franklin said, "The old lady has woken up, but there are still residual toxins. It might take one or two weeks to completely clear them. During this time, she needs to stay hospitalized to constantly monitor her condition."

Upon hearing this, Silas Linton’s smile froze immediately.

"Toxins?" she murmured, wondering if she heard it wrong?

Was she... poisoned?

Hearing this, Raine Sinclair hurriedly wiped her eyes and asked Silas, "Grandma, do you know who poisoned you?"

"Someone poisoned me?" Silas was stunned again.

Seeing this, Raine Sinclair turned back to look at John Franklin.

The two understood each other: it seemed the old lady herself didn’t know about it.

So they told her everything that happened yesterday.

After Silas listened, her face had already turned dark.

Even though she still had no energy, the gloom in her eyes was very real.

"Hmph, I didn’t expect that at my old age, someone would still be so fixated on me! Fine, since I’m not dead, I’ll see clearly who exactly it is!"

Raine Sinclair noticed that Silas Linton’s hands were slowly clenching.

It seemed Grandma was truly angry.

"Grandma, do you have any enemies or suspects?" Raine Sinclair asked.

"In a lifetime this long, how could one not have feuds with a few people?" Silas was frank, "However..."

"However, what?"

"Those who hated me mostly died earlier than I did." Silas answered seriously.

Raine Sinclair facepalmed, the originally tense mood suddenly relaxed a bit. She sighed, "Grandma, of all times, you’re still joking?"

Silas laughed, "You silly girl, why are you so tense? After all, my old bones are still alive!"

Having said this, she remembered something and quickly asked, "What about Jonas? Is he awake?"

Beside them, John Franklin heard this, and his eyebrows raised instantly. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

Counting the time, the old lady had been awake for about ten minutes now, and only now did she think to ask about Jonas Hawthorne?

Well, at least she didn’t forget?

"He’s awake. But he’s already gone to the company and should come later to see you," Raine Sinclair replied.

John Franklin also said, "Jonas said he went to investigate who poisoned you."

At that time, hearing Jonas Hawthorne’s urgency, John Franklin didn’t really stop him.

No matter how you look at it, it’s a matter of life and death; nothing can be taken lightly!

Silas nodded, looking at the needle in her hand, her eyes thoughtful.

Seeing this, Raine Sinclair comforted her, "Grandma, you don’t need to worry. My second brother is an excellent doctor, and since he allowed Jonas to be discharged, it means Jonas is fine. You just need to follow my second brother’s advice, rest well, and you’ll surely get better soon!"

"Second brother?" Silas then raised her eyes to look at John Franklin beside Raine Sinclair, her eyes showing some surprise.

She observed the delicate features of the male doctor in front of her but had no recollection.

"Yes, he’s my maternal side’s brother, John Franklin." Raine Sinclair turned her head to introduce her second brother, her face full of pride.

When Silas heard this, her heart felt choked.

William Jennings had a grandson named York Jennings, she was aware of that.

This time William Jennings came to Sedonia, bringing York wasn’t enough, and he even brought others?

All of them... targeting her grandson?

But this child is a doctor, and he just came and saved both her and Jonas, this...

Both from the Jennings family, one wants to deal with them, and the other saved them.

John Franklin didn’t bother to guess what the old lady was thinking in her moment of daze. He just said, "I suspect the one who poisoned you didn’t succeed, and they will surely come again. I haven’t publicized your poisoning, only saying it’s due to old age and lack of physical strength. By then, we might need you to constantly be vigilant and lure the poisoner out again."

Silas just came back to her senses.

"You are considerate."

"Grandma." Raine Sinclair, very worried, held her grandma’s hand tightly, "How do you plan to respond?"

Silas was silent for a moment, her gaze growing colder, "Wait for the rabbit by the tree."

The room instantly fell into a prolonged silence.

——

Seeing that Silas had already woken up, Raine Sinclair was at ease to leave.

First, she went home and had a comfortable sleep, and when she woke up, she received messages from three men simultaneously.

Jonas Hawthorne, [Grandma knows the equipment was borrowed thanks to you, and asked me to thank you.]

Mason Sullivan, [Why haven’t you come to the company?]

Leon Grant, [Why aren’t you responding to me? Are you angry?]

Taking a glance, Raine Sinclair directly ignored Jonas Hawthorne and replied first to Mason Sullivan, [I’ve been a bit busy lately, nothing urgent at the company, right?]

As for Leon Grant’s message.

The more Raine Sinclair looked at it, the stranger it seemed.

Previously, the conversations between her and Leon Grant were mostly about work, and occasionally over meals, they’d ask about locations.

Aside from that, they didn’t chat much usually, although he occasionally liked her posts on social media.

Why suddenly ask such a question?

And there seemed to be a cautious tone in it?

Raine Sinclair couldn’t help but recall the events that happened in the past two days. Her interactions with Leon Grant remained at the media’s exaggeration about them getting engaged.

Could it be because of this?

Thinking over it, Raine Sinclair replied, [No, just been a bit busy.]

The response from the other side was almost instant, [Where are you? Let’s have dinner together tonight?]

Raine Sinclair frowned, pondering how to politely decline, when a message from Finn Wyatt came through, [I wonder if I might have the honor to dine with Ms. Sinclair?]
