She Becomes Glamorous After The Engagement Annulment novel Chapter 397

Chapter 397: Pete’s Speculation

Nora would never allow such a thing to happen!

Quentin’s eyes were red and swollen as he shouted, “Uncle Ian, take care of your daughter yourself! Live and get up. Otherwise, I’ll beat her up every day…”

Joel, who had always been a steady person, could not help but say, “Uncle Ian, aren’t you afraid that I will be selfish in the future and take over the Smiths without giving Nora anything? Also, Nora is going to marry Justin. Aren’t you afraid that she will be bullied if she marries over? She’s without her father and even comes from the countryside. Now, the Hunts look down on her! She needs your support!”

Ian muttered in a weak voice with his eyes closed, “Joel, Quentin, you won’t…”

“I will! I really will! Uncle Ian, wake up. You can’t die!”

“Uncle Ian! Get up…”

Joel and Quentin shouted as their tears fell like rain.

The person lying on the bed had been exceptionally powerful since they were young. But now, he was weak and had been sick most of the year, he was very dispirited and would not wake up. It was as if nothing gave him hope for life.

However, the two of them would never forget that when their parents had abandoned them, it was Uncle Ian who came forward to raise them, calling them good children!

 

Especially Joel…

If not for Uncle Ian, he would have been chased out of the Smiths when he was three years old. He would have become like a stray dog and starved to death on the streets!

It was Uncle Ian… Not only had he given him the honor of being a man of the Smiths, but he had also let him take over the Smiths.

Everything Joel had now was given to him by Uncle Ian.

Joel held Uncle Ian’s hand tightly. “Uncle Ian…”

Just as the two of them were thinking of ways to make him stay, a cold voice suddenly sounded. “Can I speak to him alone?”

Joel and Quentin looked at the person in a daze. It was Nora.

She stood at the side. Perhaps it was because they had not known each other since they were young, but her current expression was a little cold and distant.

The stunned expression in her eyes had disappeared as she stared at the man on the bed.

Even though her voice was emotionless and she appeared too calm, Joel and Quentin looked at each other. The two of them stood up and walked out together.

Before leaving, Joel took one last look inside.

He watched as the girl suddenly walked to the bed and said, “You’re very good to them.”

Ian smiled bitterly. “I didn’t do my part as a father.”

Nora suddenly said, “Now, you have a chance to fulfill your responsibilities.”

After saying this, she suddenly lowered her head and whispered into Ian’s ear. Ian’s eyes widened suddenly.

When Joel closed the door, he heard Ian’s last sentence. His voice trembled as he asked, “Are… are you serious?”

Two minutes later.

The door to the operating room was opened. Nora pushed Ian’s bed out of the operating room.

Ian was lying there with his eyes closed.

Joel’s heart sank. He exchanged glances with Quentin and the two of them looked at Nora. Quentin even swallowed his saliva and asked, “Uncle Ian, he…”

“He’s not dead.”

Nora’s words sounded very calm, making Joel and Quentin heave a sigh of relief.

Quentin asked tentatively, “Then he’s…”

“I gave him two injections and he fell asleep. He needs to rest. In the next few days, don’t disturb him in any case. No matter how powerful this lion is, his body has been hollowed out. His body needs to be raised from the roots.”

With that, she looked at Joel. “I have a few medicinal recipes here. I’ll write them down for you later.”
