Raelyn ended the phone call and immediately dialed Archer’s number but it did not get through. She knew that he deliberately blocked her number and had no choice but to call Gavin instead.
The call was promptly answered and Raelyn burst into tears, “Dad, something bad has happened to Natasya, and she is being rescued in the hospital now. You shall come over quickly to have a look.”
“What? Isn’t she abroad? What happened?” Gavin was surprised as he had no idea that Natasya had returned to the country.
“She arrived during midnight and was met with a car accident when she left the airport…” Raelyn replied while sobbing.
Gavin was shocked and replied, “I’ll be heading over right now.”
He hurriedly knocked on Archer’s door and said, “Archer, get up quickly. Something bad has happened to Natasya.”
Archer had a different reaction than Gavin as he was very calm upon hearing about it. He opened the door and asked, “What happened?”
“She was met with a car accident. You shall come with me and head to the hospital together.”
Archer lightly replied, “I don’t think I have the time to pay her a visit. I have a very important meeting in the morning.”
“What? Postpone it then!”
“No, it’s a meeting that involves a contract that is worth hundreds of millions. How can I do that?” Archer’s expression was cold as he knew that Natasya schemed against his son-in-law and his daughter. She also attempted to poison his son-in-law and tried to get him under control. He was not in the mood to visit his vicious and shameless niece.
He would have caused a scene had he forgotten about William’s revenge plan and was unwilling to check up on Natasya.
Gavin frowned and said, “Alright then. You shall let your wife and Raymond to head over since you are going to be busy.”
“My wife doesn’t have the time either as she has to go to the hospital to see Valeria later. As for Raymond, you can take him with you if he is free.” He then continued, “By the way, dad, you must not tell anyone that Valeria is pregnant as she is still very unstable. It will not be good for the child if you simply disclose it to others.”
Archer knew that Raelyn was a different person and had become a hot mess. Gavin was feeling displeased but could not do anything about it.
It seemed that the harmonious relationship that Gavin had always hoped for between his children had gone down the drain. He then went to find Raymond while letting out a sigh.
Raymond had also refused the request and said, “Grandpa, you shall just go by yourself and be the representative of this family. I am a busy man.”
Neither of them wanted to accompany him, and he had no choice but to take Arthur and his bodyguards to the hospital.
Raelyn and Talitha were still lingering outside the operating room. Raelyn cried when she saw the sight of Gavin and his bodyguards and said, “Dad, what should I do?”
“What did the doctors say about her?”
“They are still busy rescuing her and we won’t know until they are done with their job,” Raelyn sobbed and replied him.
Raelyn realized there were only bodyguards with him and subconsciously asked, “Where is my brother?”
“He can’t come as his schedule is packed,” Gavin replied.
“What? Natasya has been met with an accident and we have no idea about her current situation. Is he really my brother? How could he be so heartless?” Raelyn asked furiously.
“He is not even a doctor. What more can he do even if he comes over?” Gavin frowned and continued, “Besides, your husband is not even here. Why would you force your brother then?”
“My husband is far away from us. But he just lives nearby…”
“That’s enough!” Gavin raised his voice at Raelyn, “Are you intending to criticize your brother in front of me? Don’t you know what mess have you got yourself into?”
Raelyn was shocked by his burst of anger and remained silent despite feeling displeased.
In the presidential suite of Wolf Group Hotel, Sammuel slowly opened his eyes and realized that the sun was shining brightly. He suddenly got up like a soldier and quickly made his way to the master bedroom that William was resting at.
He opened the door and saw that William was lying in his bed while sleeping soundly. Sammuel then wiped off the cold sweat on his forehead.
That was a close call! He was not here for a vacation but to protect William instead. What if something bad has happened to him?
He then gently closed the door and proceeded to check on the bodyguards’ room. They had just woken up and his plan of giving them an earful was disrupted by Fandrey’s call.
He immediately answered the call and greeted him respectfully, “Mr. Floyd!”
“Is everything alright there?”
“Yes!”
“Where’s William?” Fandrey asked.
“He is still resting.”
“What?” Fandrey was taken aback and asked, “Are you saying that no one from the Howard family had come to visit him?”
“There were no visitors and I reckon is because we arrived too late. I don’t think the Howard family is aware of his return.”
“Alright then, do let William give me a call after he has awakened from his sleep.” Fandrey hung up the phone and muttered, “Why is that kid still sleeping at this hour? How could he fall asleep so soundly? Could it be that he did something fishy last night?”
Deborah was standing beside him and said, “What? How could he get himself in trouble when your men had been keeping a close eye on him?”
“That’s hard to say as we are far away from him and have no idea about what the actual situation is.” Fandrey frowned and continued, “Let’s sit back and wait patiently. I do hope it’s the same as what I’ve imagined.”
Valeria, who was in the hospital, had awakened from her sleep and realized there was no one beside her. She immediately sat up and shouted, “Honey!”
The servant immediately came into her room and explained, “Valeria, Sir William is occupied with something and has headed out. You should rest assured that he will come to accompany you at night.”
She then handed his note to Valeria and said, “This is the note that Sir William has left for you.”
Valeria looked at the handwriting and let out a sigh of relief, “He really returned home! I thought that I was in dreamland!”
She stared at the note and chuckled cheerfully. The servant smiled and told her, “Richard and Michael had also come over last night and discussed things with him until dawn before leaving. He has something important to do but please do not worry. We were careless and fell into their trap last time but it won’t happen again as we will always be on our toes from now on.”
Valeria nodded and said, “You’re right! We will not repeat the same mistake as we are now well prepared.”
William woke up by noon and slowly got up from his bed. He got ready and was politely greeted by Sammuel upon opening the door, “William, you’re finally awake!”
He nodded and said, “I’m starving. Let’s have breakfast!”
“Fandrey had requested you to give him a call,” Sammuel immediately reminded him.
“Alright, I’ll call him right now.” He took out his phone and dialed Fandrey’s number while informing Sammuel, “Take your men with you and let’s have a meal together!”
Sammuel gestured to the bodyguards and they then followed William out of the presidential suite. Wiliam finally got through the call and said, “Grandpa! I have reached home but I have overslept. Did I happen to call you at an inconvenient time? Don’t worry as I’m fine here! I’ll notify you immediately if there is anything new!”
William spoke in a respectful tone and Fandrey did not sense anything fishy about him. Fandrey then gave him a few pieces of advice before ending the phone call.
The group of people eventually made their way to Wolf Group’s restaurant to have lunch.
Richard had been waiting for his arrival and had booked a private room beforehand. He shouted upon seeing the sight of William stepping out from the elevator, “William! William!”
