Chapter 0395
The group returned to Ashbourne City, and Suzy accompanied Dylan back to the Wright family’s estate.
No matter what, she needed to personally send him over to see Grace.
As for the poison in his system…
Back on the island, while waiting for Victor to pick up Dylan, Suzy had already checked his pulse. The diagnosis confirmed he was indeed poisoned, and the toxin was potent. However, the exact nature of the poison remained unclear and would require further testing.
One thing was certain: it was a slow–acting poison.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have survived this long.
Still, it didn’t seem like Claude’s usual approach. If he was willing to drag Dylan down with him, why, in his final moments, wouldn’t he use a fast–acting poison to ensure their mutual destruction?
Was it because this was the only poison he had on him?
Since Dylan wasn’t in immediate danger, it made sense to bring him back to Grace first. Otherwise, the elderly woman might cry herself blind.
Grace had indeed shed her fair share of tears over the past few days. How could she not?
Dylan was her grandson, the one she had raised with her own hands. After losing her son at a young age, the thought of something happening to Dylan as well was unbearable.
When Grace finally saw Dylan, she was so overcome with emotion that she almost fell, and if not for Diana supporting her, she might have collapsed.
As the grandmother and grandson were reunited, Grace’s trembling hands reached toward Dylan’s face, but she hesitated, as if afraid that touching him would shatter the fragile dream she feared this might be.
She turned to Suzy with tears streaming down her face. “Suzy, please tell me this is real. Tell me I’m not dreaming.”
“Grandma…” Suzy’s heart ached as she gently said, “Dylan is truly alive.”
She took Grace’s hand and placed it on Dylan’s cheek. “Feel that? He’s warm. Do you sense it?”
“Yes, yes!” Grace sobbed with joy, nodding fervently. “He’s warm–he’s really warm! My grandson is alive! This isn’t just a dream conjured by an old woman missing him too much!”

Chapter 0395
Compared to Grace’s overwhelming emotions, Dylan appeared unusually calm, a demeanor even Diana couldn’t ignore.
“Dylan, Grandma is crying her heart out, and you’re acting like nothing’s happened. Can’t you at least comfort her a little?”
Victor chimed in, equally displeased. “Exactly. You’ve been cold to me the entire trip back, and now you’re just as indifferent toward Madam Grace. Dylan, it’s only been a few days, but you’ve changed so much it’s like you’re not even the same person!”
“You’re talking nonsense!” Dylan shot Victor a sharp glare. “I am Dylan Wright!”
“I never said you weren’t,” Victor replied with a shrug, his tone a mix of amusement and exasperation. “I’m just saying you’re not quite yourself these days.”
“I’m just tired,” Dylan replied, his voice laced with exhaustion.
