Josiah shrugged. “I have no idea. I don’t have any way of knowing so much about your family affairs.
“But your grandfather has been acting a bit weird lately. He sent someone to Chaiseland to pay a visit to the five major consortia of your mother's father in secret, and I heard that he threw a fit at your father after he came back…”
Marcus’ face sank, but a smile tugged at the corner of his lips.
His grandfather was the one who pushed the weight around in his family. Besides, he was paranoid and had a distrustful personality. Even though he did not trust Matthew very much, he would still be affected by his words.
“I guess…” Fredric frowned. “You should find a time and go back to Centrolis to clear up the misunderstanding between you and your grandfather. I believe that he’s angry because of your marriage with the Tanners…”
“I don’t think you should do that,” Josiah said, a smirk tugging at the corner of his lips. “You should stay in Jangasas and do nothing if you don’t want Cordelia to grow suspicious of you. If Nelly comes here, you’ll be in big trouble.”
“Ahem!” Fredric was stumped.
Indeed, that was the only thing that they did not want to happen.
“Yeah, I know what to do,” Marcus said as he pinched his nose.
Seeing that he was a bit tired, Fredric hastily nudged Josiah, and they went away.
Marcus lay on the bed alone. Although he was tired, he could not sleep as the pain circled slowly through his body.
It reminded him of the plane crash. At that time, he thought he was a goner.
However, luck was on his side, and he survived in the end.
Only those people who had experienced death knew how precious their second chance was. In the past, he was not interested in inheriting the Hamertons, but now, he must do everything he could to get it.
After all, if he wanted to protect the person he cared about, he needed to stand at the top of the world.
…
Cordelia had been rushing between their house and the hospital while Marcus was hospitalized. Not only that, but she also needed to take care of her work, so she was spinning here and there like a busy bee.
After Seth thoroughly checked Marcus, he said with a smile, “You truly have a good physique. If it were other people, they might need to lay on the bed for at least three months if they were this seriously injured.”
