Destined Entwining: Capturing My Devoted Beau

Chapter 789: Chapter 403: Head of the Household (Third Update)

The round, chubby doctor next to Ian Lothrop was, of course, Leo Carter.

"Doctor, how is my grandmaster?!" Lawrence Winters asked anxiously.

Leo quickly replied, "Don’t worry, the sutures have been done for now, and the internal bleeding has been stopped. But your grandmaster is indeed very old, and this time he’s lost a lot of blood and has multiple fractures. Whether he can wake up or not depends on his will to survive."

Ian Lothrop also frowned and said, "At this age, it would be good if he could wake up. His legs and feet might not work well, and he might need a wheelchair from now on. And it’s normal if he doesn’t wake up."

For an elderly person over eighty to suffer such severe injuries, there are bound to be sequelae, and complete recovery is something only a miracle could achieve.

Ian thought to himself that he’s no miracle worker and needed to prepare them for the worst-case scenario.

Lawrence Winters felt a sinking feeling in his heart.

These words were from Ian Lothrop, whom she trusted far more than Leo Carter.

Kenneth Osborne quickly said, "As long as grandmaster can wake up, nothing else matters."

Whether it’s being in a wheelchair or needing special care from now on, that’s not a problem.

Lawrence Winters understood this reasoning, but emotionally, she still couldn’t accept it.

Her heart burned with anxiety, the earlier surge of rage and frustration once again engulfed her mind.

Soon after, the old Daoist was also wheeled out of the operating room.

He was wrapped in bandages and plaster, almost mummified.

Watching the oxygen mask on his face, and his pale, aged face inside it, tears once again streamed down Lawrence’s face.

The unease and helplessness in her heart were hard to suppress, and even with Kenneth Osborne holding her shoulder, she couldn’t stop trembling.

Her teeth chattered, the sound almost audible.

Seeing how scared she was, Kenneth tightened his grip and comforted her, saying, "Don’t be too tense, grandmaster will be fine."

"This is fine?! At such an old age, he was hit and flew into the air, and you say it’s fine?!" Lawrence Winters clenched her fist, finally finding an outlet for her outburst.

Arguing with Kenneth Osborne.

Kenneth was slightly startled, "It was just an accident. Nobody wanted this."

"This was no accident!" Lawrence shouted hysterically, "This was murder! Murder! They had guns! I chased after them, and they recognized me right away! They deliberately murdered! ... Those bastards! I won’t let them go!"

Just as the words were about to leave her mouth, Lawrence glanced at Nick Zeller’s thin and haggard face and didn’t bring herself to mention "Grant Branch".

If she mentioned it, Nick definitely wouldn’t stay put.

But Nick was just recovering from serious injuries, and Lawrence didn’t want him to pursue this matter with his still-ailing body.

So she decided to handle the revenge herself.

She’s all grown up and can take charge of the family now.

Again, if anyone tries to harm her family, she will pay them back a hundred, thousand times over!

Kenneth Osborne: "..."

Things seemed to be more serious than he had imagined.

He couldn’t help but glance at Nick Zeller and Gabrielle Winters.

Gabrielle didn’t speak, but Nick nodded at him, saying calmly, "At the time, there were indeed multiple attempts targeting me and Lawrence. My master took the hit for me."

As he spoke, tears started to fall.

His eyes and nose were red, as if he had been holding back tears for a long time, unable to contain them any longer.

Lawrence Winters walked over to Nick, tugging at his arm, "Dad, are you going to the police station? They’ve already caught those people."

"You chased after them?" Nick Zeller took a handkerchief from his pocket, wiping the tears off his face.

Lawrence nodded, "I personally gave them a little punishment before the police came and took them away."

Kenneth Osborne: "..."

He couldn’t help but feel a headache, "Nora, what else did you do?"

"It’s not what I did, it’s what they did! They provoked us first!" Lawrence said seriously, "I just did what any victim would do. — Resist!"

"If those people were really targeting you and my father-in-law, you need to be more cautious. Those people are vicious and inhumane." Kenneth felt even more worried, "Why didn’t you call me?"

"They were far away by the time I could inform anyone," Lawrence said lightly, averting her gaze, not daring to meet Kenneth’s eyes.

If Kenneth knew what she had done, he probably wouldn’t approve, right?

She nearly ran those three over herself.

But without clear evidence, she wouldn’t have done that.

She had maintained the force and speed just right, matching exactly how those people hit the old Daoist.
