After Fanny left, Joseph noticed that Zacharias was not feeling well, so he instructed James to take Zacharias back to rest.
“James, please take Zacharias back first. I will stay here.”
As a doctor, Joseph knew that when Scarlet had an accident, there was no time to locate a care worker. If he oversaw the situation for the time being, everyone else would be at ease.
James looked concernedly at Scarlet lying on the sickbed before leaving with Zacharias.
Late at night, as Joseph was drifting off to sleep, George finally arrived.
“Dad.” Joseph saw George and felt a sense of unfamiliarity. “Why is Mom in the hospital?”
Noticing Joseph’s accusatory tone, George avoided the subject and asked impatiently, “How is
your mom?”
Scarlet had been causing trouble continuously, and George was becoming increasingly frustrated. Even though Scarlet was now in the hospital, his worry outweighed any guilt he may have felt.
Despite any guilt he may have harbored, George maintained a strong facade.
Joseph gazed at his father intently before stating, “The doctor mentioned that Mom might
in a vegetative state.”

“A vegetative state?” George was visibly taken aback.
When he had taken Scarlet to the hospital, she was unconscious. The news of her potential vegetative state upon his return was unexpected.
Observing George’s genuine surprise, Joseph felt a sense of relief.
He ruled out George as a suspect.
However, he seized the opportunity to inquire. “What happened? Who harmed Mom?” “Could you get me a glass of water? I’m thirsty…” George stammered, avoiding eye contact.
He had been on edge all afternoon, dropping off Linda and rushing back to the scene. George feared that a visit to Scarlet would lead to an emotional breakdown, so he found a place to rest and briefly slept.

Upon waking to missed calls on his phone from his sons, George mentally prepared himself before heading to the hospital.
Joseph got a glass of water for George.
“Can we talk now?” he inquired..
George took a sip of water, glanced at Scarlet, who was in bed, and then questioned. “Is she really not going to wake up?”
Had he known that Scarlet would end up in a vegetative state, George would not have allowed Linda to leave.
“It’s uncertain.” Frustrated by George’s evasiveness, Joseph stated, “Dad, if you are unwilling to talk, I will have to contact James.”
The success of the Kins Family company now rested on James. While George may not have cared for Joseph, losing James was not an option.
If James decided to resign, George would face significant trouble.
“Alright, alright. Let’s not trouble James, eh? George soothed Joseph and proceeded to fabricate a story.
“What? Are you suggesting that Mom injured herself?” Joseph couldn’t help but chuckle at the absurd explanation.
With a substantial wound on Scarlet’s head, George was clearly lying, and to make matters worse, he was deceiving Scarlet, who was already in a vegetative state!
“What’s with your attitude? Do you doubt your father’s words?” A displeased George rose to leave.
As he began to walk away, Joseph spoke up from behind him. “Dad, please stop hiding the truth. James has discovered where Mom had the accident, and your mistress was present! What happened? Are you truly not going to tell us?”
George paused at his son’s words.
Early the following morning, at Springgate Estates, Angela woke up feeling weak all over, surrounded by a soft sensation.
Recalling the events of the previous night, she blushed and felt her heart race.

“Are you awake?” A pleasant voice whispered in her ear, causing Angela to startle like a rabbit. She opened her eyes wide and turned to see Jonathan, who was still by her side.
J–Jonathan…” Angela blushed and inquired, “Why haven’t you gone to the office?”
“I’m off today, so I thought I’d spend some quality time with you.”
A speechless Angela didn’t refuse. Instead, she immediately suggested, “Since you’re off today, it’s a good opportunity to get a full body check–up.”
Despite the recent rest, Angela was still concerned about Jonathan, especially given his recent busy schedule.
Jonathan indulgently agreed with her. “Whatever you say.”
After getting ready, the two made their way to the hospital.
The check–up arrangements had already been made, and Jonathan went straight in for the examination upon arrival.
While Jonathan was being examined, Daniel saw Angela and asked, “Angie, has Jonathan. gotten into trouble again?”
Shaking her head, Angela replied, “No, I was worried that he might be too tired and did not fully recover, so I wanted him to get checked.”
She was deeply concerned about Jonathan’s well–being.
Daniel tsked, clicking his tongue and playfully looking at her.
Feeling uneasy under his gaze, Angela was about to leave.
However, Daniel suddenly mentioned, “I heard things are getting heated over at the Kins Family. Have you gone to see what’s happening?”
“What’s going on now?” Angela inquired..

Summoned to the hospital by George the day before, Angela had left without seeing him and had an unpleasant encounter with Fanny.
Apart from checking on Zacharias‘ condition weekly, Angela wanted to steer clear of the Kins Family affairs.
“George came to the hospital late last night to see Scarlet, and it seems he had a disagreement with Joseph,” Daniel mentioned casually. “Later, George was so furious that his

voice echoed throughout the hospital. In the end, the people in the neighboring roo couldn’t bear it anymore and went to intervene. Oh, by the way, Angie, the Kins Family ward does not even have a care worker. I wonder what they’re planning.
Angela guessed the reason behind it, and she felt a sense of pity.
“A penny for your thoughts, Angie?” Daniel was aware of Angela’s lack of affection for the Kins Family, and he spoke openly.
“No.”
“Really?” Daniel leaned in curiously.
Upon exiting the examination room, Jonathan saw Daniel leaning in toward Angela. He promptly pulled the man away.
“Stay away from my missus,” he said calmly, his gaze fixed on Angela.
Daniel clicked his tongue twice, muttered something about ‘showing affection, and left.
He was quite busy, and if Jonathan hadn’t come for a check–up, he wouldn’t have had time to banter with Angela.
After completing the examination, Daniel had to return to his workaholic ways.
Upon hearing Jonathan’s words, Angela blushed, a hint of redness appearing on her face.
Naturally, Jonathan took Angela’s hand and said. “The examination is done. Daniel will send the results over. Let’s head home.”
“Okay.” Angela nodded obediently and tightened her grip on Jonathan’s hand.
A soft chuckle reached her ears, causing her heart to flutter. She pursed her lips and lowered her head.
“What did Daniel tell you? He’s usually not reliable outside of surgery, so don’t believe him. And if it’s about my health, you definitely shouldn’t trust him. He’s not as knowledgeable as you are in that area, Jonathan murmured, concerned as he saw Angela hanging her head in
silence.
Realizing Jonathan’s misunderstanding, Angela quickly shook her head and explained. “He didn’t say anything wrong. He just… He just talked to me about the Kins Family.”
Jonathan patiently waited for her to continue.

“He just informed me about the Kins Family’s situation.” Angela said slowly. “Scarlet… She’s now in a vegetative state.”
When Angela had visited the hospital the day before, Scarlet had been rushed back into the operating room for emergency treatment, but unfortunately, the outcome was still not favorable.
