Our Billion-Worth Twins by Velvet Antler novel Chapter 863

Chapter 863

Ezekiel looked around and, upon not seeing Stella, sheepishly asked," Where's your mother? Is she...waiting for me?"

From what he knew about Stella's personality, it was very likely that she had remarried another rich man.

Catelyn knew his concern, so she waved her hand quickly. "Mom has been waiting for you. She didn't come today because she had a car accident not long ago, and she's still in the hospital."

"A car accident? Is it serious? How is she doing?" Ezekiel became worried instantly.

"She's already much better. The doctor said her condition was fine. She'll be discharged from the hospital soon."

At first, Sylvie asked Catelyn to take Ezekiel back to the Atherton Manor as she would be there welcoming him. At the same time, she wanted to ask him about Summer and how he met and raised Catelyn.

However, Ezekiel wanted to visit Stella first as she was in the hospital.

When Catelyn told her grandmother about Ezekiel's decision, Sylvie did not insist on wanting Ezekiel to be at the manor.

They all went to the hospital afterward.

Ezekiel was carrying a black package in his hand. Cedrick wanted to carry it for him, but Ezekiel clenched the bag even tighter as his gaze darted back and forth. "N-No need for that. The bag is not heavy, so I'll just carry it myself. No need for the trouble, Master Cedrick."

"Dad, Ceddy won't hurt you, so don't be afraid of him," Catelyn joked, trying to ease her father's mind, but deep down, she was grieving.

Catelyn could not imagine what Ezekiel had endured in the past four years that completely changed his personality.

Ezekiel had not been relaxed when he got into the car with heavy steps." I'm not afraid of him. He's my son-in-law; why would I be afraid of him? It's just that I can carry it myself."

Feeling helpless, Catelyn lowered her voice, leaned into Cedrick's ear, and said, "My dad seems to be very afraid of you. Did your grandfather do something to him that left him traumatized?"

Cedrick frowned. "I asked him about this. He said he never laid a finger on your father."

Draco said that finding Ezekiel was purely coincidental.

He was imprisoned on charges of theft and accidental wounding, thus was sentenced to serve his sentence because he had no money to pay a fine on a private island. Because he was an Amarican, he was discriminated against and often tortured by other cellmates.

When Draco found Ezekiel, he paid the prison warden to ensure a stable and basic living condition for him, which later on improved the standards of his imprisonment: a separate, en-suite, private cell equipped with a TV, refrigerator, and other electrical appliances.

The most important thing was that Draco never showed up, and Ezekiel never knew that he had been receiving help from the Mason family.

"That’s weird. Dad trembled when he heard your name," Catelyn said in confusion.

Draco raised his eyebrows slightly. "Perhaps when I was too on the top in the business circle, he lost quite some money to me. That's why he has lingering fears."
