A Woman Worth Billions Dated the Wrong Brother novel Chapter 401

he One Who Came Home

Amber POV

News that Jason was awake traveled through the family faster than anything I could have organized myself.

I called Grandpa first.

“He’s awake.”

There was silence on the other end before I heard him exhale.

“He’s awake?”

“Yes. He’s disoriented, and his memory is coming back in pieces, but he knows who he is. He knows me. He remembers the children.”

“And the babies?”

I smiled. “His first observation was that I’m very pregnant.”

Grandpa laughed, the sound rough with relief. “That sounds like Jason.”

I heard movement in the background and lowered my voice. “Are the children awake?”

“All of them.”

“How much do they know?”

“Only that we found him and he’s in the hospital.”

I looked toward Jason. He was resting with his eyes closed, although I was beginning to suspect he wasn’t actually asleep.

“Would you bring them? Warn Alice and Alex that they cannot jump on him.”

Without opening his eyes, Jason murmured, “Especially Alice.”

“You’re eavesdropping.”

“Hospital room. Not much else to do.”

Grandpa laughed again through the phone. “We’ll be there soon.”

Pamela helped notify everyone else while I called Mrs. Sun. She had apparently already heard, because she answered with a broken, “Is it true?”

“Yes. He’s awake.‘

She started crying.

“My baby.”

Jason opened one eye.

“Grandma?”

I nodded.

He sighed. “She’s going to squeeze me.”

“Probably.”

“Head injury.”

“I suggest mentioning that to her yourself.”

He closed his eye again. “Cruel wife.”

By the time Grandpa arrived, Jason had endured another neurological check and lost an argument with his doctor about when he could leave the hospital. He was awake but exhausted, his memories still returning unevenly.

Then the door opened.

Alice saw him first.

“DADDY!”

Every adult in the room reacted at once.

“Alice-”

She ran anyway.

Fortunately, she remembered the warning before launching herself onto the bed. She stopped at the side and stretched both arms toward him instead.

Jason’s face changed instantly.

“Come here, princess.”

I helped her close enough to hug him without putting pressure on his injuries. Alice wrapped herself around his arm and burst into tears.

“You went away.”

“I know.”

“You can’t do that anymore.”

Jason glanced at me.

I raised an eyebrow.

“I’ll try very hard not to,” he promised.

That seemed acceptable to Alice.

Alex hadn’t moved from beside Grandpa.

He was staring at Jason’s bruises with an expression far too serious for a six–year–old.

Jason noticed him.

“Hey, buddy.”

Alex approached slowly.

“Did they hurt you?”

“A little.”

“Are they in jail?”

“Some of them.”

That was all.

He didn’t cry or demand explanations. He simply stood there holding Jason’s hand as though he needed physical proof that his father was actually in front of him.
