Jeremy and Lily suddenly felt embarrassed. They never expected the truth to be discovered so quickly.
Daniel was livid when he realized that the two of them could have deliberately harmed his father.
“Animals! You’re both animals! That is our father, and your grandfather. He was the one who raised us. How could you do this to him?” Daniel gritted through his teeth.
Jeremy gave a cold snort. “Hmph! Stop throwing groundless accusations! I don’t know where the wound on the back of Dad’s head came from either.”
“Dad has been living with both of you during this period of time. If you two weren’t the ones behind this, then who else could it be?” Daniel rebutted.
Jeremy turned away from him and said, “I don’t have the energy to deal with the bunch of you. Lily, let’s go. I’ll be handing Dad over to you all. If anything happens to him, you’ll have to answer to me.”
Jeremy and Lily turned and left right after.
“Animals!” Daniel glared after their retreating figures.
He took a look at the medical record and found that his father had a sudden cerebral infarction.
Sudden cerebral infarctions could only be caused by external trauma.
Anger could only lead to a chronic cerebral congestion.
Now, he could already confirm that Jeremy was the one who harmed their father.
Lacey tried to comfort her father. “Dad, don’t be upset. At least Grandpa’s still alive, right?”
Daniel heaved a sigh and said, “Based on the current medical standards, it’s impossible to completely cure a cerebral infarction. Even if it’s cured, he’d be in a vegetative state, unable to speak or act...”
“That’s not necessarily true.” Zeke said abruptly.
All of them whipped their heads towards Zeke with hopeful looks. “Zeke, can you cure a cerebral infarction?”
Zeke nodded. “I’m seventy percent confident, but his body is currently too weak to undergo acupuncture, and he won’t get the optimal results either.”
He continued, “Let him recuperate for a few days, only then I’ll proceed with acupuncture.”
Daniel’s spirits lifted. “Sure, sure. Zeke, you really are our family’s good fortune.”
Meanwhile, Jeremy and Lily had just walked out of the hospital when an Audi emerged from a hidden corner and stopped beside them.
The two got into the Audi without hesitation.
The person in the driver’s seat was none other than the Secretary of the Municipal Political and Legal Committee, Harvey Hoffman.
Harvey offered Jeremy a cigarette, to which Jeremy accepted with gratitude. “Thank you, Mr. Hoffman.”
“How did it go?” Harvey asked.
Jeremy took on a respected tone when he said, “Daniel Hinton has already taken responsibility of the old man. The mission is half completed.”
One of the missions that Harvey had assigned to Jeremy was to move Adam from the small clinic to Daniel’s hospital.
Ever since Adam had suffered a cerebral infarction, Jeremy only sent him to a small clinic to be treated.
“Hmm, good.” Harvey approved. “Once you complete the mission, you’ll both be greatly rewarded.”
Jeremy and Lily thanked him repeatedly. “Thank you, Mr. Hoffman. Thank you very much.”
Harvey sent them back home, then drove away.
Back at home, Jeremy was in an exceptionally good mood. “Lily, go and get two bottles of wine from my favorite collection.”
Lily quickly took out two bottles of vintage wine with a smile on her face. “Dad, once we finish the mission, we’ll have the strong support of Mr. Hoffman. When that time comes, you can even afford to drink the world’s most expensive wine!”
Jeremy cackled with laughter. “That’s what I like to hear.”
“Hmph! Daniel, don’t blame us for being ruthless. Who told you to offend Mr. Hoffman? No one can save you this time.”
Lily had an ugly sneer on her face as she said, “Lacey, you think you’re so amazing just because you established Linton Group, huh? I’ll see how long you can remain on your high horse!”
She narrowed her eyes and continued, “I, Lily Hinton, am the real pride of the Hinton family! All the wealth of the family should belong to me! You are nothing compared to me!”
