LORD CHESTER COMES BACK

Accompanying Jun to the hospital was, of course, Felicia.

When Felicia was just outside the Antique Pavilion watching Barnaby, she overheard Jun and Lorelei talking inside the store.

She felt puzzled.

Since Jun had pawned his jade pendant to Old Martins years ago, how could Old Martins have fallen ill?

With this doubt in mind, Felicia couldn’t help but ask Jun, who was sitting in the back seat.

“Sir, are you sure your jade pendant is really with Old Martins?”

Jun replied calmly, “I personally gave it to him back then, but after so many years, anything could have happened.”

A flash of anxiety appeared in Felicia’s eyes.

The Pure Yang Jade Refinement was of great importance!

It must not be lost!

However…

Luckily, she also had a piece in her possession!

Things hadn’t reached an irreparable state yet!

Thinking this, Felicia tried to calm herself by deliberately changing the subject.

“By the way, sir, why did that guy who went to the Antique Pavilion with Lord Bates call you grandfather?”

Jun replied indifferently, “He is the disciple of one of my registered disciples.”

Felicia’s delicate face twitched.

“It seems that quite a few people in Lordran are causing trouble under your name! Don’t worry, I’ll help you clean them up in the future!”

Jun sternly said, “You have your own duties!”

Felicia giggled, “Don’t worry, it won’t interfere with taking care of your daily needs!”

Jun didn’t bother to respond to Felicia anymore.

Felicia then turned her gaze to Hadwin, who was driving seriously, and asked, “Old man, do you hold a high position in Lordran?”

Hadwin smiled wryly, “It’s alright.”

Felicia continued to ask, “What about my master? What is his status in Lordran? Is it much higher than yours?”

Hadwin glanced cautiously at Jun through the rearview mirror and said, “Not on the same level!”

Regardless of how Felicia felt upon hearing this, Lorelei, sitting next to Jun, became even more nervous.

Lorelei never dreamed that she would have the chance to sit in the car of the Chief of South Capital in her lifetime!

Moreover, the Chief of South Capital was personally driving!

She also never imagined that she would have the honor of sitting next to a man who stood shoulder to shoulder with James!

The events of today were destined to be unforgettable for Lorelei!

At this moment, Jun asked Lorelei a question.

“Which ward is Old Martins in at South Capital Court?”

Lorelei was initially stunned and replied with a trembling voice, “The last time I visited Old Martins, he was in a general ward in the internal medicine department. But I went to the hospital again yesterday, and Old Martins had been transferred to another ward. However, I couldn’t find out which ward exactly because Floyd was there and his attitude was very rude!”

Jun frowned slightly.

Hadwin, who was driving, suddenly said, “Let me make a call and find out.”

Jun nodded, “Thank you.”

Hadwin smiled wryly, “Lord Chester, there’s no need for such formalities.”

Jun said nothing more.

Hadwin immediately put on his headset and made a call, regaining the demeanor of a person in a high position.

“Jay, help me check which ward Old Martins from the Antique Pavilion is currently staying in at South Capital Court. Make it quick!”

A young voice responded from the other end, “Yes, Chief!”

Soon, the information was relayed back to Hadwin.

“Chief, I’ve found out. He’s in room 10 of the special care unit on the seventh floor of building three at South Capital Court!”

Hadwin replied calmly, “Alright, I got it.”

After hanging up the phone, Hadwin respectfully relayed Old Martins’ hospitalization information to Jun.

Jun still didn’t say much.

In his heart, he couldn’t help but feel anxious.

The jade pendant was secondary!

The key concern was Old Martins’ health!

They hadn’t seen each other for many years!

Old Martins was such a respected elder, nothing must happen to him!

The kindness from that meal years ago had yet to be repaid!

Meanwhile…

In Old Martins’ high-level ward at South Capital Court, the situation was not optimistic!

At this moment…

Old Martins lay on the hospital bed, emaciated and pale-faced, barely clinging to life while receiving a blood transfusion!

Surrounding him were various medical devices keeping him alive!

In addition to Old Martins, there were several other people in the ward.

One was his eldest son Drogo and another his younger son Floyd.

Two burly men stood behind Floyd, coldly watching the scene unfold.

Floyd waved a document in his hand and suddenly threw it onto Old Martins’ face, threatening viciously.

“Old man! Still not signing? You’re about to die, why hold onto that old house? Sign the contract now or you’ll die today!”

Old Martins stared blankly at Floyd, too tired even to get angry. His tears had long dried up.

At this moment, Old Martins just wanted to die quickly!

Out of sight, out of mind!

Drogo, who sat beside Old Martins-a scholarly-looking man dressed simply-reached out to take the contract off Old Martins’ face and gently put his dry hand back under the blanket. Then he stood up and faced Floyd.

Softly he said, “If you have something to say, let’s talk outside. I don’t want Dad to…”

Before Drogo could finish his sentence, Floyd slapped him hard across the face.

“Drogo! Get it straight! I personally paid to transfer this old man to this high-level ward. Otherwise, given his condition, any other family would have sent him home to die or left him in a general ward! I arranged for him to stay in such an expensive ward and you want me to talk outside?”

Drogo’s mouth bled from the slap. He clenched his fists tightly but held back.

“If you still consider yourself human, let’s talk outside. I don’t want to discipline you in front of Dad!”

Floyd sneered as if hearing a joke.

“Hah! You discipline me? You? Fine! Usually silent as a stone but now acting tough!”

Turning to his two henchmen behind him, Floyd ordered,

“Restrain him! Let’s see how tough he is!”

The two burly men stepped forward and quickly subdued Drogo on the ground!

Just as Drogo was about to shout,

Floyd viciously kicked him in the mouth.

Bang!

Drogo’s mouth instantly bled profusely!

Floyd stepped on Drogo’s face and snarled at Old Martins on the bed,

“Dad! I’m calling you Dad! We’re father and son! I’m doing business now and owe money! You have to help! It’s just an old house! Sell it! Help me out! What’s wrong with that? You won’t sign? Fine! Don’t regret it! You love Drogo so much? Today I’ll cripple him right in front of you!”

With that, Floyd kicked again,

This time aiming at Drogo’s mouth again.

Bang!

Floyd even pulled out a short knife from his pocket and pointed it at Old Martins on the bed,

“Still not speaking? If you don’t speak up today, there will be blood!”

Old Martins finally couldn’t hold back,

“Alright! I’ll sign!”

Floyd grinned maliciously,

“Good. But that’s not enough! I know you have something else locked in your safe all these years that I can’t open! Tell me the password!”

“I know it’s an ancient jade pendant. Must be valuable? Give me the password so I don’t accidentally stab my brother’s hand!”

Old Martins replied,

“That belongs to someone else! It’s a bond! I can give you anything else but not that jade pendant!”

Floyd laughed angrily,ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

“What? More important than your eldest son’s life?”

Old Martins suddenly smiled,

“The family values of the Martins are indeed more important than life. You wouldn’t understand!”
