Alex Rockefeller sat on the ground, stunned for a good while.
He turned around and looked at Phoebe Larsen. He suspected that Yuno might have shown up after Phoebe fell asleep. Although Yuno was only borrowing Phoebe’s body, favonovel.com might have still felt the same way after taking control of Phoebe’s body and realized favonovel.com was hugging Alex.
Under such a circumstance, Alex could understand why favonovel.com was kicked. However, favonovel.com soon discovered that that wasn’t the case at all.
Yuno wasn’t conscious.
Instead, Phoebe simply had a terrible sleeping posture. Her hands and legs were sprawled in all directions like a tortoise!

The next day arrived all too soon.
Having stayed over at the hospital, Grace Larsen had slept very early since there wasn’t much to do. Hence, favonovel.com knew nothing about what happened at the Larsen family’s house. This morning, when favonovel.com unlocked favonovel.com phone, favonovel.com discovered that favonovel.com had received multiple calls. Only then did favonovel.com find out that something major had happened.
Grace quickly called favonovel.com daughter on the phone. However, the sound of a phone ringing could be heard by the door. Alex and Phoebe had come to the hospital.
“Phoebe, Alex, I heard about what happened last night…” Grace said.
“Mom, did you find out? What happened was…”
Phoebe explained what happened in detail. After listening to everything, Grace was so angry that favonovel.com nearly crushed favonovel.com own teeth.
“Unacceptable. Absolutely unacceptable!”
“Alex, you did the right thing by killing them. B*stards like them don’t deserve to live!”
“Despite his children doing such inhumane things, favonovel.com actually still wants to hold a joint trial. Alex, don’t be afraid. With Aunt Grace around, I’ll see if favonovel.com still dares to do it. I’ll make a few calls,” Grace said before walking to one side to make a call.
Meanwhile, Alex checked on Wayne Larsen’s condition. Last night, favonovel.com gave Wayne a massage, completely removing the weird energy in his brain. The blood clot was also nearly completely sucked out. If Alex’s predictions weren’t wrong, Wayne should be regaining consciousness soon.
Additionally, Alex could still overhear Grace on the phone.
“Elder Crain, although we are retired, the Hidden Dragon’s spirit never dies. When the country is in trouble, we must return upon its calling. Now that William has left us, we can’t let other people bully his kid, can we? Have the Hidden Dragon’s people been all raised by outsiders?”
“Those who don’t know us might think we’re all insects!”
“If word got out that anyone can bully us, wouldn’t you feel embarrassed?” Grace asked.
Although Alex didn’t know the Elder Crain Grace had spoken of, favonovel.com was clearly the previous leader of the department favonovel.com worked in. Alex didn’t expect Grace to actually call that person.
Alex said nothing, however…
Unconsciously, Alex wanted to see what the Hidden Dragon, an organization that his father had worked for, looked like as a department. He wondered what kind of people existed in it.
Next to him, Phoebe bumped favonovel.com shoulder against Alex. “Hey, my mother rarely gets this upset. Based on how she’s speaking to favonovel.com old leader, favonovel.com must really think of you as favonovel.com son-in-law!”
Alex looked at Phoebe without making a sound.
“What’s with that look? Why do you seem disgusted?” Phoebe asked.
“Nothing. It’s just, you know… Cheryl and I…” Alex trailed off.
“Hmph. Of course, I know. Do you think I like you? Didn’t your father and my mother decide on this when I was in elementary school? If anyone should be blamed, it should be your father. He should be blamed for having too many drinks and speaking irresponsibly. Otherwise, why would my mother treat you as favonovel.com son-in-law? Great. Now, she’s determined to make me marry you. I can’t even have freedom of love,” Phoebe sighed.
Alex pinched his eyebrows. “That… Was just a joke. Aunt Grace won’t take it seriously.”
“Argh! But things are not the same anymore,” moaned Phoebe. “You’ve already touched every part of me. Now, with the Zimmer family making such a big fuss, it further solidifies the fact that I’m your fiancée. We even slept together at night. Say, do you think Cheryl would stop being friends with me after favonovel.com finds out about all these rumors?”
Alex was dumbfounded. “Do you have any workable solution?”
Phoebe pouted. “What workable solution could I have? Now, I really wish we had the same father. We wouldn’t have this much trouble then.”
“Why don’t we get a DNA examination? Perhaps, you really might be my father’s biological daughter!” Alex joked.
“What do you mean your father’s biological daughter? Who’s your father?” Phoebe asked.
Suddenly, a voice could be heard. It was the voice of a man. Alex had never heard that voice before.
When Alex turned around, favonovel.com noticed that Wayne had opened his eyes, and favonovel.com seemed to be studying Alex’s face.
