It was only then that Henrick remembered Shandie was still on the floor, twitching non-stop.

He ordered the housekeepers to carry Shandie downstairs while he prepared to take Arielle along to the hospital.

"Dear! Please take me with you!" Cindy pleaded, tears flowing uncontrollably.

"Shannie is my… She’s one that I watched growing up.I can’t possibly stay at home!"

Despite how pitiful and terrified Cindy looked, Henrick steeled his heart against her.

"No! I want you to reflect on yourself! Can someone take Mrs.Southall back to her room? No one is to let her out without my orders!"

One of the housekeepers immediately nodded and dragged a crying Cindy away while Arielle accompanied Henrick into the ambulance.

"Dad, why don’t we let Aunt Cindy come along? I can see how close she is to Shandie.Leaving her at home will only worry her sick," Arielle softly pleaded.

Alas, Henrick refused to yield.He turned his gaze toward Arielle and sighed deeply.

"You silly child.Life overseas must have been tough, hasn’t it?"

"Not at all.Life was good," Arielle replied and meant every word of it.

She had had a wonderful life abroad, and it couldn’t have been any better.

However, Henrick thought his daughter was merely putting on a brave front and sighed again.

"You’re too naive.How will you survive here in Jadeborough? I’ll have to slowly teach you the ways so you won’t feel out of place."

"Thank you, Dad!"

"We’re family.You don’t have to thank me…"

Before long, the ambulance had arrived at the hospital.

Shandie was immediately wheeled into the emergency room because her heart had stopped beating.

Worried and anxious, Henrick and Arielle paced outside the emergency room as they waited.
