Chapter 498 They Should Go Back
As soon as Fanny settled into her seat, the van started abruptly and sped away in a hurry.
As the van departed, another car arrived at the Kins Family’s residence.
James got out of the car and was about to get into the house directly.
Hugh quickly stopped him. “Hey. Wait a minute. Should I go in with you?”
James had been roughed up by Florence’s people the day before, but he was mostly just bruised on his body. With his clothes covering it, it didn’t seem like a big deal. However, Hugh had given him some medicine and knew that he must still be in pain.
Hugh thought that James had mentioned taking the Kins Family back to Riverdon, and he had plans to go to Riverdon to develop. It made sense for him to go in with James.
James glanced at Hugh when he heard this, but didn’t say anything. He just stood still.
Seeing that James didn’t object, Hugh swiftly parked the car by the roadside and walked to James‘ side. “Let’s go.”
Only then did James start walking toward home, almost completely ignoring Hugh.
Hugh followed behind him and sent a text message to a number on his phone.
A reply came not long after.
Simultaneously, Zacharias‘ phone rang in one of the Kins Family residence bedrooms.
He picked it up and saw that it was a message from the doctor at the private hospital.
Zacharias quickly read the message.
Meanwhile, as the two entered the Kins Family home, Scarlet was packing up in the living
room.
Scarlet had been packing early in the morning in preparation to return to Riverdon.
Their family had already tacitly agreed upon the matter of Joseph going back to Riverdon. Plus, the marriage between Fanny and Christopher was bound to be completed there, so they couldn’t delay returning.
Scarlet was particularly eager to go back to Riverdon. It was time for them to return, after all. Since she woke up, she had been looking forward to going back.

She was humming a tune while packing.
Upon hearing movement at the door, Scarlet looked up and noticed James and Hugh. “James! You’re back!”
Scarlet quickly put down what she was holding and walked toward James.
She looked James up and down and felt relieved when noticing his complexion was not bad.
“Yeah. I’ve finished my work, James replied gently, allowing her to scrutinize him.
When Scarlet finished looking at James, she seemed to notice Hugh beside him.
“Hugh is here, too.”
As soon as she saw Hugh, she thought of Zacharias and Fanny going to the hospital for compatibility testing. Her expression turned sour at the thought.
But considering that Hugh was helping, she still smiled at him.
Hugh didn’t mind Scarlet’s awkward attitude toward him at all. Instead, he politely smiled and said, “Hello, Madam Square. I’m just on the way to drop James off.”
She quickly Scarlet’s complexion improved slightly upon hearing that it was on the way. responded, “On the way? So you must have other things to attend to? I won’t keep you…”
“No rush. I’m heading to Riverdon on my way. I heard that you all are also planning to go back to Riverdon, so I thought I’d come in and sit for a while.” Hugh didn’t give Scarlet a chance to rush him out. Instead, he directly stated that his destination was also Riverdon.
On the way? Which way? Naturally, it’s the way to Riverdon.
Scarlet was momentarily taken aback. “Oh. I see.”
“He might be traveling the same way as us.” James knew early on that Hugh was going to Riverdon, so he mentioned it casually.
Hugh raised an eyebrow at James‘ statement, then continued to stand beside him with a crooked smile.
Scarlet smiled awkwardly and said, “Alright, it’s good. We can have someone to look after us together.
After seeing that Scarlet had no objections, James calmly inquired, “Mom, are Joseph and the
others at home?”
He hadn’t seen Joseph yet since Joseph was released and didn’t know how he was doing.

After all, the wedding date between the Sanders Family and the Kins Family was approaching, so they should return to Riverdon as soon as possible to discuss matters.
“Everyone’s home,” Scarlet replied quickly. “You two have a seat first. I’ll go call them out.”
As she spoke, Zacharias door opened, and he came out in a wheelchair, although hist complexion didn’t look good.
“James, you’re back,” Zacharias said, approaching James and stopping beside Scarlet.
When Zacharias came out, Scarlet gently adjusted the blanket on his legs and asked, “Why did you get up so early? You should’ve had more sleep.”
Zacharias had the appearance of someone already prepared. It didn’t seem like he had just woken up.
“Mom, I’m fine,” Zacharias said softly, but his eyes showed a different emotion.
Just a few minutes ago, he suddenly received a text message from the doctor.
The compatibility result between him and Fanny was ready, and it was not a match.
Knowing that the compatibility result was not a match, Zacharias was quite upset. But what made him even more uncomfortable was that he had previously doubted Joseph and his
mother.
His mood darkened when reflecting on his previous suspicions toward his family.
“Are you really okay? Your complexion is so pale.” Scarlet was worried about him and touched his face, feeling that his face was pale and cold.
Hugh watched the affection between Scarlet and Zacharias, pulling James to sit on the couch. James still had injuries on his body, so standing like this all the time was not good for him.
James didn’t resist and followed his movements to sit down.
Sensing the movements of the two, Scarlet only then realized that there was also Hugh, an outsider, in the house. So, she pushed Zacharias to sit next to James.
“Hey. Zac isn’t feeling well. I’m not sure if it’s a good idea to travel back to Riverdon today,” Scarlet sighed and looked at James.
James turned to Zacharias and asked, “Can you hold up?”
Zacharias was stunned momentarily, then realized that his brother planned to take them

He had planned to undergo kidney transplant surgery with Fanny if they had matched successfully.
“I can, Zacharias replied..
Upon seeing his troubled expression, James suggested, “You can rest in your room before we leave.”
The discussion about returning to Riverdon didn’t necessarily involve Zacharias.
After some consideration, he shook his head. He was feeling very upset right now, and he wouldn’t be able to sleep even if he went back to his room.
Besides, Fanny had just left a few minutes ago. He didn’t know how to tell his brother about Fanny leaving home.
After all, he hadn’t asked Fanny where she was going. He had just heard Fanny say that she had
urgent matters to attend to.
Seeing Zacharias sigh, Scarlet sighed in response.
“Mom, can you go check if Fanny is awake?” James suddenly asked.
Scarlet also realized it was time to call Fanny out, so she hurriedly said, “Okay. I’ll go check on Fanny.”
Scarlet couldn’t help but glance at Zacharias when thinking of Fanny.
Her troublesome third son was determined to donate his kidney to Fanny. But he completely ignored the fact that losing a kidney might leave him too weak to withstand his current state of illness.
As a mother, she could never accept her son sacrificing himself.
She couldn’t tolerate someone coveting her son’s life.
And now, her beloved Fanny seemed to have become that kind of person.
Fanny had undergone the matching process with Zacharias, hoping he would donate his kidney to her.
