“What?” Freya saw her mother so nervous and thought that something must have happened. She stood up and walked over.
“Take a look.” Elowen handed her the phone.
Freya took it and looked at it. The more she looked, the tighter her brows furrowed. The news was about Elijah knocking Jack unconscious. And Jack was immediately taken away in an ambulance. There were also a few blurry photos accompanying the article. Although not very clear, it was still evident that it was Elijah and Jack.
“Look at the comments below, not a single nice word. It’s really infuriating to read,” Elowen said, ready to argue with those keyboard warriors if she wasn’t playing with her phone.
Freya told her not to get angry.
“I’ll go take a look,” Freya said. She felt that this matter might not be as simple as it seemed on the surface. With Elijah’s power, it shouldn’t have been difficult to keep such news from being leaked. But it still got out, which meant there must be a conspiracy behind it.
Elowen asked, “What can you do to help?”
Freya replied, “Didn’t they say Jack was taken to the hospital? I need to go and find out his condition. I don’t want anything to happen and have them blame it on Elijah again.”
Elowen thought for a moment and said, “That’s true. You’re a doctor, so if he’s faking an illness, you’ll be able to tell.”
“In that case, you go,” Elowen instructed. “But be careful.”
“Okay.” Freya was about to leave but remembered that Sacha was still there. She pulled Elowen aside and whispered to her, “Mom, the girl I brought back, Sacha, was raised by Elijah’s mother. Although she doesn’t have any real connection to Elijah, there’s still some link. Elijah and his grandfather have had a falling out, and he’s lost all his relatives. I think she has a good personality. If I don’t come back tonight, please take care of her.”
Elowen held her daughter’s hand and said, “You did the right thing. Don’t worry, I know what to do.”
Before leaving, Freya told Sacha, “I have something to take care of, feel free to play here.”
Sacha replied, “Okay.”
…
As Freya got into the car, she called Elijah, “Where are you?”
“Hospital.”
“Which hospital?”
There was a moment of silence on the other end before he answered.
Half an hour later, Freya arrived at the general hospital. Elijah wasn’t surprised to see her, but he said, “Did you see it?”
He was referring to the news.
“Yeah, what’s going on exactly?” Freya asked.
Elijah’s expression turned cold.
Jack and Ronan were the ones who got Thorne and his girlfriend out of jail. Jack wanted to send them out of the country, but Elijah intercepted them at the airport. Jack wanted Elijah to turn a blind eye. But how could Elijah possibly be willing to leave such a troublemaker outside? Who knew when Thorne Silverton might cause trouble again?
During the confrontation, Jack passed out. At first, Elijah thought it was a trick by the old man. But when he went forward to check, it turned out that Jack really did faint. So an ambulance was called. Elijah didn’t know if this scene was planned or not; it got leaked online. Therefore, Elijah was blamed for being a disobedient, rebellious grandson.
Freya speculated, “Even if Jack is in a poor health, he shouldn’t faint just like that. From what I can see, there’s probably something wrong with him.”
Elijah remained silent. He seemed indifferent since the actions taken by Jack had already chilled his heart.
Deck approached and said to Freya, “The old master woke up and wants to see you.”
