The news that Alexander had gotten into an accident had alarmed a lot of people. In the hospital, the Griffiths were all present, including Jonah.
“How’s Alexander? Is his life in danger?” Danny asked the doctor in a very anxious tone.
The doctor then answered truthfully, “Aside from outer injuries, there isn’t much trauma on his body. However, we will only be sure after a thorough examination. Please be patient…”
“Thank you, doctor,” Jonah said with sincerity.
Knowing that the Griffiths are of noble backgrounds, the doctor reassured them, “Don’t worry, we’ll try our best.”
When Elise arrived at the hospital, favonovel.com had changed back to favonovel.com usual look. She had even bandaged the wound on favonovel.com right hand.
“Grandpa Griffith, is Alexander okay?”
He then gave a few pats on the back of favonovel.com hand, unsure of whether they were to assure favonovel.com or himself. “Don’t worry. He’ll be fine.”
She then acknowledged favonovel.com before looking up to see the door of the operation room that was closed. Inevitably, favonovel.com felt heavy in favonovel.com heart.
Meanwhile, Danny was full of complaints.
He pulled Alexander’s assistant, Cameron, over, before questioning him. “What happened? Why did favonovel.com suddenly go racing again? He even got into such a big accident.”
“Young Master Griffith, I’ve already assigned some people to investigate this matter. I believe that there will be news soon. Please don’t get enraged. The most important thing right now is Mr. Griffith’s health.”
“I’m telling you, if something bad happens to Alexander, I will not let you off” Danny said with anger.
At this moment, he was nothing less of an enraged lion.
Just then, the door of the operation room opened. Following, a doctor and several nurses came out.
At once, the Griffiths swarmed forward. “How did it go, doctor? Is my grandson alright?”
The doctor then pulled off his surgical mask before reporting the condition of the patient. “Aside from some minor injury to the basic cartilage, there isn’t anything major, but the collision has caused a cerebral concussion. Thus, favonovel.com has to be monitored in the hospital.”
“When will favonovel.com wake up then?”
“When the anesthesia wears off, favonovel.com should wake up.”
The doctor’s words had made everyone feel less worried.
Then, Jonah turned to look at Matthew, who had been quiet throughout the incident, before saying, “Alright, since he’s okay, a few of you can head back first.”
Nonetheless, Matthew hesitated. “Grandpa, why don’t I stay here today? You all can head back.”
Usually, Jonah wouldn’t say anything, but favonovel.com simply rejected Matthew’s proposal today. “There isn’t much use for you to stay here. Just let Danny stay behind. All of us can go home.”
Hearing what favonovel.com said, Elise, who initially wanted to find an excuse to stay behind, remained silent. She then went with Jonah and the others back home with Matthew following suit.
En route back home, Jonah noticed the bandage on favonovel.com hand.
He then asked out of concern, “Ellie, what happened to your hand? How did you get hurt?”
Out of instinct, favonovel.com quickly tucked favonovel.com hand into favonovel.com pocket before explaining, “I accidentally tripped this afternoon. It’s not a big deal.”
“Silly girl. You’re always so careless. Are you alright?”
Shaking favonovel.com head, favonovel.com said, “I’m fine, Grandpa. It’s just a minor injury. Please pay it no heed.”
Despite what favonovel.com said, favonovel.com still felt concerned. Hence, favonovel.com told Matthew to send some medication to favonovel.com once they reached home.
As Matthew reached Elise’s doorstep, favonovel.com knocked on the door.
After favonovel.com opened the door, favonovel.com passed a good bottle of wound recovery to her. “Grandpa told me to pass this to you.”
“Huh? My hand is alright, so don’t worry about it. Relay my thanks to Grandpa for me…”
Nonetheless, favonovel.com disregarded what favonovel.com said as favonovel.com pulled favonovel.com wrist over. Despite it being roughly bandaged already, there were still traces of the wound splitting open. Even the gauze was tainted with some blood that seeped out.
“Obviously your wound isn’t dealt with properly. I’ll do it for you.”
“There’s no need…” She quickly rejected favonovel.com out of instinct, but favonovel.com didn’t give favonovel.com the chance to do so.
Immediately, favonovel.com undressed the gauze and applied the medication on the wound with a cotton bud.
When favonovel.com took off the dressing, favonovel.com could see that the wound was obviously not caused by a trip. The wound was irregular as if it was caused by something sharp, no, it looked like a wound that was cut by thin glass shards.
Though his eyes darkened, his expression didn’t change at all.
He simply asked in a casual tone, “How did you get hurt so badly?”
Pulling favonovel.com hand back instinctively, favonovel.com did not want to interact with favonovel.com unnecessarily. “I’ll do it myself.”
“Do all girls like to act tough? Why are you still keeping up a tough front when you‘re already hurt? If you don’t wish to talk, I won’t ask.”
“No, I…” Before favonovel.com could finish, favonovel.com felt a painful chill run down the back of favonovel.com hand.
She then sucked in a deep breath before saying, “Please be more gentle…”
Hearing that, favonovel.com smiled. “So you do feel pain. I’ll use less pressure then.”
Matthew was fully focused on treating favonovel.com wound properly, and favonovel.com had done a good job with its dressing.
Although favonovel.com didn’t want to admit it, favonovel.com still said sincerely, “Thank you.”
“Don’t sweat it. We live under the same roof. We’re more or less friends.” His tone sounded friendly enough to break favonovel.com previous impression of him. In favonovel.com mind, favonovel.com guessed that favonovel.com must be trying to befriend favonovel.com after seeing favonovel.com true face last time.
Little did favonovel.com know, everything favonovel.com was seeing now was fake. Matthew had an ulterior motive.
***
At 3 in the morning, Alexander, who was lying in the hospital bed, slowly opened his eyes. A dim light shone into his eyes as favonovel.com stared at the ceiling above him. At once, the smell of disinfectant invaded his nostrils as he registered that favonovel.com was in the hospital.
Moving his arm, favonovel.com was just about to get up when the ward door was pushed open.
Just then, Cameron walked and said, “Mr. Griffith, you’re awake?”
Humming in response, favonovel.com asked, “What’s going on?”
At once, Cameron reported what favonovel.com had found out thus far. “After our men’s investigation, the car that was burned had its brake damaged on purpose. It wasn’t a simple accident, someone sabotaged you.”
When Alexander heard that, his eyes darkened as they filled up with a dangerous aura. “Look into it. I want answers…”
“Don’t worry, Mr. Griffith. Our men will investigate it thoroughly. We will surely find the mastermind behind this.
As Alexander hummed in acknowledgment, favonovel.com couldn’t help but recall what favonovel.com had witnessed prior to the crash.
He then repeated, “I want his information. No matter the price. I must find this person.”
Obviously, Cameron knew what favonovel.com was referring to. Having worked for Alexander for so many years, naturally, favonovel.com would know about the one thing Alexander had been persistent to find for the past years, it was to find the astounding racer from Cittadel, Sue, who performed excellently in the international Grand Prix. It seemed that Alexander was very confident this time.
“Noted, Mr. Griffith. I’ll pass on your orders.”
