CHAPTER 161
In an office painted in the same muted tones as the hospital exterior, Uriel and Ava sat across from the doctor, their faces reflecting the weight of worry. The doctor, feeling overwhelmed by the tension in the room, knew he had to face the family, but the burden of his title felt heavy on his shoulders. He understood Mr. Meyer's condition was serious, but it wasn't as if the family could stay by the bedside 24/7. They were relentless in their visits, and he felt powerless against their mounting concerns."I don't understand what your hospital means by saying there isn't much to worry about. But at this point, with the patient still unconscious, don't you think we deserve an explanation?" Uriel's voice was sharp, her frustration palpable.Ava remained silent beside her, fully supportive; they had come today not for a gentle inquiry but to demand answers from the doctor. The doctor felt a strong urge to escape the situation. He was caught in a difficult position, unable to share the fu
CHAPTER 162
"I'm telling you, doctor, why are you rushing over here? We were asking about Grandpa's condition!"At this moment, Uriel appeared completely normal, her face a mix of confusion and annoyance as she confronted him. Thomas glanced at Ava, both of them clearly trying to figure out what was happening."Just a moment ago, you were throwing a fit to find me, and now you're asking me questions? Seriously!" The doctor couldn't hold back his frustration. This woman was something else; her mood changed faster than anyone he'd ever seen. The security guard nearby looked puzzled as well. He recognized Uriel and hercompanions; they were from a wealthy family, staying in a VIP room. Usually, they were polite and well-mannered, not at all like troublemakers. But then he noticed thenew doctor in their midst. Could there bean issue on this side?"Are you intimidated by our tone? I didn't raise my voice that much. We're not trying to cause a scene, so there's no need for such a big reaction," Uriel
CHAPTER 163
The waiter glanced at Robison's gesture and turned to leave. Uriel ignored him and sat down firmly. Robison's expression darkenedslightly as he spoke to the front, "I don't know what you want to drink, so I ordered a glass of plain water." His tone was nothing like usual; the forced politeness was painfully obvious."You don't need to worry about what I drink. It's clear why you came to see me today. Don't think I'll cover for you, the murderer." From the moment Uriel sat down, she had activated the recorder hidden in her bag. Now, she placed her bag on the chair beside her, aiming the device directly at Robison."There's no need for such hostility. After all, we are proper cousins. What's your relationship with Ava? If there's going to be a partnership, it should be between you and me, right?" He started with that line, and Uriel’s disgust was unmistakable in her eyes. "I'm not like Ava. Our relationship isn't based on mutual benefit; we're both doing this for Grandpa. What do you h

"Let's set that aside for now. First, you need to answer three questions. If we clear this up, there might still be a chance for us to work together," Uriel said, her anger gradually fading after the initial confrontation. The person in front of her had shifted her focus to other matters. The old man's awakening could explain many things, but the mysteries surrounding Robison himself remained. "Go ahead and ask. I won't hide anything from you," Robison replied, feeling a wave of relief wash over him as Uriel seemed willing to cooperate. He had anticipated that Uriel’s questions would revolve around the earlier incidents."First, who administered the drug? I can't believe he would have planned to drug himself. Second, if you know this, why are you looking to me for cooperation? And third, and most importantly, what exactly happened that night you were taking care of him?" Uriel’s three questions were the result of her pent-up frustration, and she had previously considered Robison the p
CHAPTER 165
Robison had thought that after all his efforts and heartfelt arguments, she would agree to his proposal. But in an instant, it felt like he was pouring water into a bamboo basket, completely futile. This woman showed no gratitude; instead, she insisted on waiting, but for what? If he let her have her way, Robison felt like he would end up sharing his assets with Ava, and that was his biggest fear. He realized that Zach had already lost his chance, but his own situation was still serious enough to upset their father. To his surprise, their father had shown unexpected affection towards Ava, leaving her so much. Now, with both him and Jack having stirred up trouble, Uriel was still in a good position. If things continued like this, it would only lead to Zach’s possessions and his own being divided up for Ava, a scenario he could not accept at all.He had been running around for days, and it wasn't easy. Plus, the issues at the police station were still unresolved. "Cousin," he said, frus
CHAPTER 166
The USB drive that was once wrapped up was now carelessly tossed aside, clearly indicating that someone had tampered with it. Uriel glared at Robison, her voice sharp. "Why did you touch my stuff? You have no right to go through my things." "What do you mean? The store clerk just handed it to me, saying it was yours. I only took a quick look; I didn't touch anything. It's just a USB drive," Robison replied defensively. Uriel's gaze locked onto Robison's face, noticing the darkness in his eyes, as if contemplating something sinister. His intense stare made her uncomfortable, prompting her to step back. "I don't have time to deal with your craziness today. If you want to go wild, do it by yourself." With that, Uriel turned and climbed back into her car, starting the engine.Robison walked toward his own vehicle, appearing to have calmed down as he gradually relaxed. As Uriel glanced in her rearview mirror, she saw Robison suddenly accelerate, causing her to jump in surprise as he sped p
CHAPTER 167
"I know you have plenty of money, but it's my duty to be clear. I run this business based on rules and integrity, so it's best to lay everything out upfront, right, Mr. Robison?" Thomas felt he was nailing his performance; as soon as he said those words, he was completely in character. Beside him, Philip watched, thinking that if it weren't for the urgent need to analyze the signals, he would have advised his boss to steer clear of such dangerous business. Why not just enjoy his money instead?Robison found the guy amusing. He might have wanted to see who this was and possibly make a friend if he weren't so pressed for time. But alas. Of course, if Robison had actually met the person on the other end of the line, he probably wouldn't feel that way. Meeting him would truly be a nightmare. "You make a good point. Let's keep it brief; I don't have all day." That comment smoothed things over andconfirmed that no one had called Robison in the meantime. He glanced at the clock-only 45 seco
CHAPTER 168
On the way to the hospital, Thomas thought about his daughter. It was probably best that he wasn't home right now, avoiding the daily squabbles among the Meyer family, which also involved his child. Staying in the hospital meant having access to the best facilities and enjoying some peace. After all, including Solara, Thomas wasn't going to let anyone off the hook. It didn't matter how that woman treated him regularly, but if it involved his child, there was no room for negotiation. Recently, his mother-in-law had fallen out with Ava over the inheritance issue. Thinking back to Miss Hutton's analysis, if the old man was just pretending to be sick, it would mean he was setting a trap. If only people knew his mother-in-law's true colors, they probably wouldn't have given her any leeway. Last time, Ava had expressed her concerns about becoming like her mother. Thomas thought she was being overly worried; his child wouldn't turn out like that, and neither would his wife. Everything he ha
CHAPTER 169
Gavin struggled to squeeze through the crowd, panting a few times. It wasn't easy at all. He followed the two girls before him, noticing the receipts in their hands. They were probably heading to make a payment too. The hospital was packed today, so sticking with them would save him trouble. When they reached the payment area, they were met with several long lines.He trailed behind the two girls to a slightly better spot, which really only meant one or two fewer people ahead of them. Out of the corner of his eye, he spotted a window where someone was clearly sitting, with a sign hanging next to it: "For Internal Use Only, Please Do Not Queue.""See? Having money really makes a difference. They don't have to wait in line like us," one of the girls said, her tone a mix of envy and complaint. "Is this some kind of shareholder privilege?" Gavin chimed in, glancing at the line in front of him. The two girls turned to look at him, clearly recognizing that he was new to this hospital."Of c

The person in front of him spoke in a way to listen to, but there was no way to block it out. "I came to the hospital today because of a client. You're here because of your child?" Gavin had heard whispers about this before. Thomas didn't even want to respond. Did he come to the hospital just like Gavin, strolling around as if it were a shopping mall? "Yeah, my child was rushed to this hospital because she had a high fever. Didn't I mention that?" As he said this, Thomas headed toward the payment counter instead of the registration desk. Gavin's mind raced with confusion. What did he mean his child was hospitalized here? Just a moment ago, he had been chatting away with two girls, and he knew that levels categorized the hospital rooms. He had no idea which building his friend was in, because seeing Thomas I’m not sure he can have his child be hospitalized here.But no matter where it was, it shouldn't be something Thomas could afford. "Oh really? How serious is it? If it's not too bad
