Chapter 223: We Are Not Bastards!

Book:Fallen Heir Rising Published:2024-6-5

Kieran Vega’s expression was indifferent as he looked at the middle-aged man kneeling before him, showing reverence and fear. A hint of killing intent flashed in his eyes.
Seemingly sensing this strand of murderous intent, Waylon Larsen’s cold sweat became even more intense.
Had he offended this big shot?
“Chief, you honor us with your sudden visit. How may I assist you? If there’s anything I can do, I will spare no effort!” he said in a deep voice.
Kieran Vega’s voice was deep, “I’ve come on behalf of my superior to retrieve something from the Larsen family.”
“Retrieve something?” Waylon Larsen looked puzzled. No one has left anything at the Larsen family, right?
“Chief, what superior do you refer to?”
“My superior’s surname is Holland.”
For some reason, Waylon Larsen’s heart trembled suddenly.
He swallowed hard.
“Chief Vega, the Mr. Holland you mentioned, what…”
“Didn’t you require Mr. Holland to kneel in front of you?” Kieran Vega sneered.
Waylon Larsen suddenly took a cold breath, as if his whole body was covered in ice!
“I, I…”
His pupils dilated, his tongue knotted, and for a while, he couldn’t say a word.
“I’ve come to take your life,” Kieran Vega’s voice, tinged with killing intent, fell, and the dark barrel of a gun was aimed at Waylon Larsen’s head.
Those who insulted General Quincy deserved to die.
Waylon Larsen was about to beg for mercy, but the gunshot had already echoed through the entire hall…
Late at night, Nikolas, who had been unreachable, was found by the Pittman family’s people. However, when they found him, he looked dumbfounded, his clothes covered in drool…
The people of the Pittman family were all bewildered.
How could such a thing suddenly happen to Nikolas?
“Take him to the hospital immediately! You must save my grandson!” Russell was very agitated.
Nikolas was his chosen heir! Among many grandchildren, he loved this eldest grandson the most… and now, this happened?
He couldn’t accept it!
“Also, investigate this thoroughly! What happened?” He roared uncontrollably.
At the hospital, several doctors came in, holding a medical record. “Is Mr. Pittman here?”
Russell immediately stood up excitedly. “Doctor, can my grandson recover?”
The doctor said indifferently, “Your grandson’s mental disorder was caused by the car accident. He has partial loss of brain function. I’m afraid that he may have difficulty surviving like a normal person in the future.”
“Was my grandson framed?” Russell’s tone suddenly chilled.
The doctor said flatly, “The possibility is almost zero. The reason for his mental disorder is that his brain was suddenly stimulated, causing partial dysfunction.”
“In the world, there are hardly any drugs that can achieve this.”
“The most likely explanation is… when he encountered the accident, his brain suddenly triggered an extreme protective response, causing temporary dysfunction…”
Upon hearing this, Russell sat down on the chair, as if he had aged many years in an instant!
Georgia, and other family members also cried bitterly, deeply saddened.
Quentin’s medication was a unique drug developed by the War Department’s research department. How could the outside medical conditions reveal any clues?
And in the rental house, Charlotte was coaxing her two children to sleep.
“Mommy-” Janessa suddenly sat up, her big eyes staring at her, asking, “Are Mommy and Daddy free in a few days?”
Charlotte hesitated for a moment and asked, “Why?”
“Our school is going to have a parent-teacher meeting soon, and the teacher asked us to make sure our mommies and daddies come home… But you’ve been too busy lately…”
Seeing Janessa’s distressed expression, Charlotte felt a pang of guilt. She had been busy applying for jobs and neglected her two children…
“When is the parent-teacher meeting?”
“Friday afternoon! There will be lots of people that day.” Janessa’s eyes lit up with anticipation, “Other classmates’ mommies and daddies all go together, and I want my mommy and daddy to come too.”
“Joe always tells other kids that we are fatherless bastards…”
“I tell them, I have Mommy and Daddy! We are not bastards! They don’t believe me…”
Tears welled up in Janessa’s eyes.
Theo remained silent, but there was a hint of longing in his eyes.
