No Way Back

Chapter 424

Anna Fowler saw her daughter, Madelyn, crying in sorrow.

She quickly wiped away her tears. “All right, Maddie, I won’t mention it anymore. Let’s look forward like your Daddy said. Anyway, Aaron has woken up and lost his painful memories. It’s a good thing after all!”

“Mhmm.” Madelyn agreed. “Why is Johan not back yet? Did something happen to him?” she asked.

Everyone suddenly realized that Johan Fowler had not returned since he left that night.

“I just sent a message to Johan. He said he hasn’t finished his task and can’t return for a while.”

“Sigh. What could be more important than what happened to Aaron? Never mind. Forget it,” said Jack Fowler.

After all, Johan was his trusted son.

Whatever made Johan drop everything to attend to must be extremely important to him.

He was the kind of person who knew what truly mattered.

On the other hand, Aaron was fortunate to have his family around when he awoke.

Jack, Anna, and Madelyn planned to go home after leaving the hospital.

Peter and Quinton continued to stay in the ward to keep Aaron company.

They waited for Aaron to fully awake and for the doctor to confirm he was all right before taking him home to recuperate after discharge.

Just when Jack and the rest were about to leave the hospital, they bumped into two unexpected persons.

They were Raymond and Layne.

Anna was slightly stunned. “Raymond, Layne, why are you here?”

Layne replied worriedly, “I heard that Aaron was hospitalized. Dad said that he wanted to come with me to visit him. Is he all right now?”

“The doctor said that he’s fine. He can go home after he fully wakes up, and the doctor confirms there’s no problem.”

Madelyn quickly replied gently, seizing the opportunity to make her presence felt.

“Little Maddie, your eyes… You must have stayed up all night to take care of Aaron.”

Layne’s heart ached when he saw the tired look on Madelyn.
