Ross had suddenly come back to his senses, and he uttered in astonishment, “What's going on? Where am I? Anne? Harold? Why are you both here?”

Anne threw herself into his arms and began wailing.

“Harold, what is going on here?” Ross questioned, glaring at Harold.

“Father, don't listen to her nonsense! You're sick, and I only summoned someone to treat you for your illness!” Harold responded.

“That's enough! Say no more. Since I'm now awake, I'll look into this myself,” Ross uttered icily as he waved his hand.
