The Guardian's Return (Ethan Rivers) novel Chapter 522

A while later, Charles, who was enjoying his spa and massage with several other business owners, got a call from the hospital that his parents had discharged themselves. The delight on his face disappeared. Why would his parents leave the hospital?

He quickly called his father but could not get through. The same happened with his mother.

Anxious, Charles called the hospital, demanding an explanation. How could the hospital release his parents without informing him first?

The nurse explained, “They said there were not enough beds in the hospital because of the current situation and believed other people needed the treatment more than them, so they insisted on leaving. We tried to convince them to stay, but they were adamant.”

Charles was stunned.

Not enough beds in the hospital? What kind of excuse was that? He had the money to pay for their medical bills!

He had more than a million at hand, and if he kept working hard, the money he was making would be enough to last him a lifetime! Why would his parents leave the hospital now?

Charles was no longer in the mood to relax, and after informing the other business owners, he left in a hurry. On the way home, he kept dialing his father’s phone number, but no one answered. When he finally got home, his parents were not there either.

Anxiety gnawed at him. Both of them were seriously ill, so where could they have gone?

Meanwhile, Xavier and Jessica arrived at Stephen’s office. They revealed their identities at the reception, and when Stephen learned that Charles’ parents were looking for him, he told his men to let them in. Within moments, they were standing face-to-face with Stephen.

Stephen was having a tough time right now trying to fix the problems of the city, so he was baffled to see Xavier and Jessica.

“Mr. and Mrs. Hansen, what can I do for you?”

“Are you Charles’ superior?” Xavier asked.

Stephen nodded.

For a brief moment, anger flickered in the elderly couple’s eyes.

The young man before them was the one who locked up Ethan, framed him, and stole the credits from him. However, they knew Stephen was a powerful man, far beyond the reach of ordinary people like them.

“We’re here to report Charles.”

On second thought, he could not help but ask, “Why are you reporting Charles? He’s your son.”

Jessica said weakly, “He’s young and immature, but we’re not.”

Stephen narrowed his eyes. He was speechless.

Xavier looked at him and continued, “We also have another request.”

“What is it?”

Xavier exchanged quick glances with his wife and then got down on their knees together.

“Please release Ethan Rivers.”

Stephen froze. He respected the elderly couple, and as long as they did not make any overly demanding requests, he would help them. He might even turn a blind eye to Charles’ mistake. Yet, there they were, requesting Ethan’s release.
