Chapter 447 No Longer Messing Around
Kaydron, who was the current subject of Fanny’s thoughts, was now sitting in the police station feeling frustrated.
The good news was that they wouldn’t be detained for long. He believed that as long as he could contact Fanny and have her use her connections and efforts, he could easily be released on bail.
However, he couldn’t reach her at all, which made him extremely peeved.
“Still can’t get through?” Despite his frustration, Kaydron remained polite as he asked the police officer at the station.
An officer placed down the cell phone and replied, “No.”
Kaydron boiled with anger, and he was already planning to make Fanny regret her indifference toward him now.
On the other hand, James had already rushed to Northland. After learning from Scarlet that Joseph had been taken to the police station, he spent a day sorting out his affairs before. hurriedly coming to Northland.
Unfortunately, he arrived at the wrong time, as Scarlet had gone to the hospital when he came knocking.
Thinking that he hadn’t seen his younger brother in a long time, James decided to head straight to the hospital.
Currently, Scarlet was indeed at the hospital, but she was not in Zacharias‘ hospital room. Instead, she was inquiring about his condition with the attending physician. Upon learning that he had fainted again that day, she lost control of her emotions, and tears kept streaming down her face.
The doctor comforted her for a moment before escorting her out of the office.
At this point, Scarlet had already composed herself and went to visit Zacharias.
“Mom.” Zacharias, who had been daydreaming in the hospital room, called out when Scarlet walked in.
Upon seeing his appearance, Scarlet couldn’t hold back her tears once more.
“Mom, please don’t cry,” Zacharias hurriedly comforted her.
However, she said, “I know. I’ll find a cure. Your illness will be treated, so don’t worry about

anything else.”
There was a certain determination in her eyes that made Zacharias a little stunned.
He pursed his lips and did not respond.
Scarlet didn’t say much more, afraid of making him feel uncomfortable.
After a long pause, Zacharias finally said, “Mom, don’t worry I’m worried about Fanny being home alone.”
You should go home after this.
Scarlet glanced at the time and nodded. “Okay, I’ll head back for now.”
Fanny should be coming home from school by now. However, before she could leave the hospital gates, she received a call from James, who had arrived in Northland, and he informed her that there was no one at home.
Scarlet was puzzled. If Fanny wasn’t home at this hour, could it be that she was also on her way to the hospital?
James didn’t leave her much time to overthink, and as soon as he heard she was at the hospital, he immediately said he would come over.
At first, Scarlet was about to stop him, but upon thinking that Fanny might also be on her way to the hospital, she held back. After some thought, she decided to call Fanny to check on her.
However, when she called, she found that Fanny’s phone was switched off. This immediately filled her with even more confusion, and a sense of unease crept into her heart.
When James arrived at the hospital,
he saw Scarlet with swollen eyes that hadn’t yet subsided.
“Mom, why are you crying?” Although James spoke words of concern, there was a hint of criticism in his eyes that he himself was not aware of.
Scarlet suddenly felt a bit uneasy, but she still let out a sigh of relief at the sight of James. Help has finally arrived, she thought.
She looked at James. This was the first time she had seen her eldest son since she had woken up from a coma. For some reason, she always felt she had grown distant from him after not. seeing him for a while.
James noticed Scarlet’s unease and asked in confusion, “Mom, are you feeling unwell? Did you have a check–up after waking up? Should I come with you for a complete examination?”
She quickly shook her head. “There’s no need for a checkup. I’m fine. The doctor said that the reason I was in a coma was because there was a blood clot in my brain that hadn’t

dissipated, but now that it’s gone, everything is alright.”
After waking up, Joseph had dragged her to undergo a full–body examination, which was so extensive and varied that it left her feeling dizzy, and she really didn’t wish to go through it again.
James didn’t insist after hearing Scarlet’s words, but it was Scarlet who, recalling the examination, once again thought of Joseph and couldn’t help but feel her eyes water.
Joseph was still imprisoned, but she, as his mother, had no way to help him and had to rely on her eldest son to help her out, which made her extremely guilty.
James didn’t realize what Scarlet was thinking but suddenly asked, “Mom, where is Zac’s ward? I’ll go to check on him first.”
Compared to Scarlet, who was once in a coma but was now lively and active, James was more worried about Zacharias, whose body had never fully recovered.
Scarlet, who was already in a low mood from thinking about Joseph, felt her heart sink further into her stomach when she heard James mention Zacharias.
“I’ll take you
James trailed behind Scarlet. Along the way, she didn’t speak anymore, and James remained. silent as he followed her to the ward.
see Zac. It’s been a long time since you’ve seen him. It’s time to catch up.”
Scarlet couldn’t help but think that their mother–son relationship might have faded a bit after not seeing each other for a while. However, for some reason, she suddenly thought of George.
Back then, George was sent back to Riverdon after starting a fuss, which most likely put him into close contact with James. Could it be that he was now so distant from her because of George?
Once the seed of doubt was planted, it would quickly grow and develop, forming an indelible shadow.
On one hand, Scarlet felt that James would not be influenced by George, but she also feared that it was George’s doing at the same time, which led to her feeling conflicted.
In the end, she couldn’t resist asking, “How is your father doing lately?”
James was surprised by Scarlet’s sudden mention of George, and he turned his head to look
at her walking ahead of him on the left, as if trying to read her expression.
Upon seeing Scarlet walking while staring at the ground, looking relatively calm, he replied, “Mom, Dad has no longer been messing around recently.”

Indeed, George had not been causing trouble lately, not for any other reason, but because he didn’t have much money left. When he owed 12 thousand at the casino in Northland, it was James who helped him out from afar. After George returned to Riverdon, he received at warning from James and had now calmed down a lot more compared to before. D
“Oh, Scarlet responded indifferently, as if she was not really interested.
Seeing that she didn’t ask any further, James remained silent.
Although George stopped messing around, he developed a liking for alcohol. However, ast long as he only drank at home, James wouldn’t interfere. Therefore, their relationship remained relatively harmonious.
James continued to trail behind Scarlet, and when she stopped in front of a hospital room, he furrowed his brow as well.
After she entered the hospital room, he saw Zacharias‘ pale complexion. He had not been informed in advance about James‘ visit, so he was surprised to see him at first.
However, he quickly understood why Scarlet had kept it from him, as they soon started discussing saving Joseph and finding Angela. 1)
