Reene squinted. "Oh, Alice. You're all grown up now." She threatened, "Should I remind you of how I used to spank your butt?"

"Oops. Forget I ever asked." Alice chuckled and turned around. "Did you send a guy over, Kingsley? He was waiting for me at the reception this morning."

Kingsley nodded. "Yes. He's my friend's father. Paralyzed for about a decade, so I'd like him to get a full-body checkup."

"I told someone to send him to a ward in General Surgical." Alice pointed downstairs. "He's on the fourteenth floor, VIP ward number twelve. Mr. Lynch talked to the General Surgical's supervisor once he found out that you sent the guy. He's probably undergoing a checkup now."

At this moment, someone flung the ward's door open.

"What happened? Why are you hurt?"


"Yeah! We just got an investment! Things are just starting to pick up steam, and now you're hurt? What the hell happened?"

Kingsley frowned. He looked at the newcomers and saw Elijah and Ysabel coming in, looking miffed.

"You're in the hospital. Be quiet!" Alice stood up, looking upset. "The patient needs her peace and quiet. Stop shouting!"

She was not in her coat, so Ysabel did not heed her advice. "What the heck did you just say to me?" She shoved Alice away with her elbow. "Piss off! This is none of your business!"

Alice tumbled backward and crashed into the stool. If it were not for Kingsley, she would have fallen down. Kingsley snarled, "Didn't you hear her? Reene needs to rest! Be quiet!"

"F*ck off!" Ysabel put her hands on her hips. "Ethan sent us the video, where you admitted that the Larsons' invitation has nothing to do with you! Don't even try to lecture us!"

Elijah glared at Kingsley as well. "That's right! You embarrassed us, and I'll make you pay for it! Out of my way! I'm taking Reene away from this hospital. This place smells like misfortune."

Ysabel tried to pull the IV infusion's tube away, but Kingsley smacked her hand away. "What are you doing?" he roared. "She's not even healed up yet! Lay a finger on her and I will kill you!" He held Ysabel's hand and hurled her away.

"Ah, I'm dead!" Ysabel sat on the ground and slapped her thighs as she complained, "Reene, you jinx! Just when we finally got that investment and Coliree Group's project, you had to get yourself in trouble! Your grandfather and uncle are here, and you can't even do anything about it! You're killing us here!"
