Chapter 111 Did They Find Out Anything
Not only Steven but even Samuel and Courtney became nervous because of Joseph Parker's reaction.
Samuel stood up and asked, "How is my grandson?"
Florence also stared at Joseph.
Did Joseph notice something? Or could it be that he and Steven were performing a show?
Joseph looked around and said solemnly, "His situation is terrible. Mr. Logan, I want to talk to you alone."
"Okay." Samuel also became serious. "Go to my study."
"Grandpa, I want to go there with you." Steven supported Mr. Logan, and the three of them went to the study together.
Only Florence, Maxwell, and Courtney were left in the room.
Courtney closed the door cautiously and then turned back and whispered, "Son, did they find out anything?"
Maxwell also said worriedly, "I think the doctor that Steven found this time is somewhat skilled in medicine. Alexander, what if he talks nonsense and leaks our secret?"
Alexander tidied up his sleeves slowly and sneered, "When Steven goes back, he may incite other members of the Logan family to prepare a coffin for me."
His words made everyone present even more confused.
Florence frowned and asked, "Alexander, what's going on?"
Alexander explained, "The medicine that Tristan gave me can create an illusion that I'm about to die."
Maxwell asked, " Alexander, are you giving Steven a chance to kill you?"
Alexander's eyes turned darker as he said, "Uncle Kingston and Steven are too cautious. If I don't push them, this game won’t be able to continue."
Alexander had guessed it right. The three came out of the study after a while and Steven said in a pitiful tone as if he felt very sorry for Alexander, "Alex, take care of yourself. I will find another famous doctor to treat you."
Samuel kept sighing as if he had aged a lot all of a sudden, and there were tears in his cloudy eyes.
Maxwell comforted him, "Grandpa, don't worry, didn't William say he would bring a famous doctor over tomorrow? Alexander will be fine."
Samuel who stood beside Alexander's bed said, "Alex, take a good rest and take care of yourself."
......
Joseph and Steven then left the mansion, while Maxwell chose to stay. Courtney also arranged a room next to Alexander's for Florence.
Courtney hoped to have a grandson earlier, but Florence had not married Alexander after all. She had to preserve Florence's reputation anyway.
Florence came out of Alexander's room and met Maxwell at the staircase when she was about to go downstairs.
"Maxwell."
Florence greeted him.
"Ms. Scott." Maxwell nodded and asked, "How’s your stay in the Logans’ mansion?"
"Not bad." Florence smiled lightly. When facing Maxwell, she somewhat felt embarrassed.
After all, Maxwell was once her boss.
"That's good."
Both of them did not know what to say and the atmosphere suddenly fell silent. Just then, Florence's cell phone rang. It was a video call from Beckham.
Florence pointed to the phone and said, "I need to answer the call."
This video call was very timely as it relieved her embarrassment.
"Okay."
Maxwell was a talkative person, but he always didn't know what to say in front of Florence.
Holding her phone, Florence went downstairs to make a video call with Beckham. While walking, she told Brielle and Andrew that she had temporarily moved to the Logans’ mansion to care for Alexander.
The next day…
Just as Alexander had guessed, the following day, major medias were all reporting the news that Alexander was critically ill.
Even the entire Logan Group was under a tense atmosphere.
Lincoln called Florence to ask about this. "Florrie, is Alexander really dying?"
