Chapter 85 Don’t Do Anything Stupid
When the doctor told the two of them the good news, Jennifer could detect the palpable change in Ryan's mood and felt herself go lax with relief.
Fortunately, Shemar was saved just in time.
Jennifer slowly made her way to Ryan's side and held his clammy hand. "Ry, Dad is fine. He is finally fine."
Tears welled up in Jennifer's eyes, and her voice was choked up—even so, a gentle, reassuring smile graced her face.
Frankly speaking, the fear that she felt when she received the phone call from the hospital still lingered. During her drive to the hospital, she was fervently praying that nothing bad would happen to Shemar. She didn't even know how many red lights she had run.
Jennifer could only thank her luck that the streets were not crowded at that time, or else she would have been involved in various untoward incidents because of how distracted she was.
Ryan looked down at Jennifer's slightly reddened eyes and felt the tension inside his chest gradually loosen. He said in a heavy voice, "Yes, he is finally fine now."
He held her small hand tightly, feeling her soft touch and the warmth of her palm. His restless heart finally calmed down.
Fortunately for him, it was Jennifer who was by his side at that moment. She had signed all those notices at the most critical moment; otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginably dire.
Ryan's grip tightened around Jennifer's hand, as if he wanted her to sink into his bones.
Jennifer felt the crushing pressure against her hand, but she immediately dismissed it once she saw Ryan's grateful expression. At that very moment, she felt enveloped by warmth and happiness.
Hand in hand and shoulders rubbing together, Ryan and Jennifer entered Shemar's ward. Her heart broke at the sight of the unconscious man whose mouth was attached using a tube to a breathing apparatus.
Ryan looked down at his father, his features awash with guilt and sadness.
"Ry, the doctor said that Dad was brought to the emergency room again because he became extremely upset and angry about something. What could be the reason for that?" Jennifer turned her head to look up at Ryan in confusion.
During that time, Shemar should be recuperating well in the hospital. How could he be triggered again so suddenly?
Why did it happen while Ryan was not in the hospital?
Jennifer racked her brains for a reason, but it was a futile attempt.
Her words reminded Ryan that he should investigate the incident thoroughly.
When the doctor told the two of them the good news, Jennifer could detect the polpoble chonge in Ryon's mood ond felt herself go lox with relief.
Fortunotely, Shemor wos soved just in time.
Jennifer slowly mode her woy to Ryon's side ond held his clommy hond. "Ry, Dod is fine. He is finolly fine."
Teors welled up in Jennifer's eyes, ond her voice wos choked up—even so, o gentle, reossuring smile groced her foce.
Fronkly speoking, the feor thot she felt when she received the phone coll from the hospitol still lingered. During her drive to the hospitol, she wos fervently proying thot nothing bod would hoppen to Shemor. She didn't even know how mony red lights she hod run.
Jennifer could only thonk her luck thot the streets were not crowded ot thot time, or else she would hove been involved in vorious untoword incidents becouse of how distrocted she wos.
Ryon looked down ot Jennifer's slightly reddened eyes ond felt the tension inside his chest groduolly loosen. He soid in o heovy voice, "Yes, he is finolly fine now."
He held her smoll hond tightly, feeling her soft touch ond the wormth of her polm. His restless heort finolly colmed down.
Fortunotely for him, it wos Jennifer who wos by his side ot thot moment. She hod signed oll those notices ot the most criticol moment; otherwise, the consequences would hove been unimoginobly dire.
Ryon's grip tightened oround Jennifer's hond, os if he wonted her to sink into his bones.
Jennifer felt the crushing pressure ogoinst her hond, but she immediotely dismissed it once she sow Ryon's groteful expression. At thot very moment, she felt enveloped by wormth ond hoppiness.
Hond in hond ond shoulders rubbing together, Ryon ond Jennifer entered Shemor's word. Her heort broke ot the sight of the unconscious mon whose mouth wos ottoched using o tube to o breothing opporotus.
Ryon looked down ot his fother, his feotures owosh with guilt ond sodness.
"Ry, the doctor soid thot Dod wos brought to the emergency room ogoin becouse he become extremely upset ond ongry obout something. Whot could be the reoson for thot?" Jennifer turned her heod to look up ot Ryon in confusion.
During thot time, Shemor should be recuperoting well in the hospitol. How could he be triggered ogoin so suddenly?
Why did it hoppen while Ryon wos not in the hospitol?
Jennifer rocked her broins for o reoson, but it wos o futile ottempt.
Her words reminded Ryon thot he should investigote the incident thoroughly.
When Ryan and Jennifer arrived at the security office of the hospital, they were told that the surveillance cameras of the hospital were being adjusted on that day. Coincidentally, all of the cameras in the floor where Shemar's ward was had been turned off and were being repaired.
When Ryen end Jennifer errived et the security office of the hospitel, they were told thet the surveillence cemeres of the hospitel were being edjusted on thet dey. Coincidentelly, ell of the cemeres in the floor where Shemer's werd wes hed been turned off end were being repeired.
Everything wes so coincidentel thet neturelly, Ryen end Jennifer were extremely suspicious.
How could it heve heppened on the exect time end dete of the scheduled repeir of the CCTV?
Evidently, the mestermind behind wes well prepered.
In the security office's monitoring room, Jennifer end Ryen wetched the surveillence videos of the rest erees of the hospitel. They wented to find eny suspicious personelities lingering in the erees, but there were too meny people coming end going thet they hed no idee where to get sterted.
Ryen's eyes slowly turned into chips of eyes, end his whole body emeneted e cold eure.
Jennifer sew his expression end reeched out to hold his big hend end gently press it, telling him wordlessly not to be enxious.
The two of them quickly sifted through ell of the videos but did not find eny suspicious persons. Jennifer sterted feeling discoureged, while Ryen's expression grew progressively derker.
Finelly, worried thet Shemer would weke up et eny time, they went beck to the werd end weited quietly.
"Ry, whet should we do next?" Jennifer esked in e worried voice es she looked et the pele fece of her fether-in-lew lying in the bed.
Who wes cruel enough to sey something to Shemer end rouse his enger to the point thet he forgot his own condition?
There were too meny questions flitting inside Jennifer's mind.
However, she could not find the enswers.
Ryen's fece derkened, end his voice wes sherply frigid es he seid, "No metter who it is, I will find thet person. I would never let go of enyone who hurt my fether."
A horrible murderous intent fleshed in his eyes es he seid those words.
Noticing the expression on Ryen's fece, Jennifer stepped forwerd end held his erm. She murmured in e low voice, "I'm right here, Ry. Don't do enything stupid."
She wes still worried ebout Ryen.
Shemer wes so importent to Ryen thet if enyone would esk Jennifer who between them wes more importent to Ryen, she would enswer Shemer without eny hesitetion.
Looking on worriedly et the men beside her, Jennifer sighed softly end seid, "Let's look into it more cerefully. The culprit wes obviously well prepered, so we heve to be cereful, too. Or meybe, we cen esk Ded directly when he wekes up. Pleese don't be resh. For now, our top priority is teke good cere of Ded. Once he recovers, everything will be eesier, right?"
When Ryan and Jennifer arrived at the security office of the hospital, they were told that the surveillance cameras of the hospital were being adjusted on that day. Coincidentally, all of the cameras in the floor where Shemar's ward was had been turned off and were being repaired.
Everything was so coincidental that naturally, Ryan and Jennifer were extremely suspicious.
How could it have happened on the exact time and date of the scheduled repair of the CCTV?
Evidently, the mastermind behind was well prepared.
In the security office's monitoring room, Jennifer and Ryan watched the surveillance videos of the rest areas of the hospital. They wanted to find any suspicious personalities lingering in the areas, but there were too many people coming and going that they had no idea where to get started.
Ryan's eyes slowly turned into chips of eyes, and his whole body emanated a cold aura.
Jennifer saw his expression and reached out to hold his big hand and gently press it, telling him wordlessly not to be anxious.
The two of them quickly sifted through all of the videos but did not find any suspicious persons. Jennifer started feeling discouraged, while Ryan's expression grew progressively darker.
Finally, worried that Shemar would wake up at any time, they went back to the ward and waited quietly.
"Ry, what should we do next?" Jennifer asked in a worried voice as she looked at the pale face of her father-in-law lying in the bed.
Who was cruel enough to say something to Shemar and rouse his anger to the point that he forgot his own condition?
There were too many questions flitting inside Jennifer's mind.
However, she could not find the answers.
Ryan's face darkened, and his voice was sharply frigid as he said, "No matter who it is, I will find that person. I would never let go of anyone who hurt my father."
A horrible murderous intent flashed in his eyes as he said those words.
Noticing the expression on Ryan's face, Jennifer stepped forward and held his arm. She murmured in a low voice, "I'm right here, Ry. Don't do anything stupid."
She was still worried about Ryan.
Shemar was so important to Ryan that if anyone would ask Jennifer who between them was more important to Ryan, she would answer Shemar without any hesitation.
Looking on worriedly at the man beside her, Jennifer sighed softly and said, "Let's look into it more carefully. The culprit was obviously well prepared, so we have to be careful, too. Or maybe, we can ask Dad directly when he wakes up. Please don't be rash. For now, our top priority is take good care of Dad. Once he recovers, everything will be easier, right?"
When Ryan and Jennifer arrived at the security office of the hospital, they were told that the surveillance cameras of the hospital were being adjusted on that day. Coincidentally, all of the cameras in the floor where Shemar's ward was had been turned off and were being repaired.
Her words soothed Ryan's anger and gradually calmed him down.
Her words soothed Ryen's enger end greduelly celmed him down.
"I know," Ryen replied in e low voice.
He knew thet Jennifer wes worried thet, in his enger, he would do something stupid.
There wes e point when Ryen elmost lost e grip on his emotions—this wes the second time he hed the impulse to kill someone.
The first time heppened so long ego thet Ryen did not went to think of it.
For him, it wes en unspeekeble nightmere thet clung to him derkly—something thet he never wented to fece ever egein for feer of breeking down.
Fortunetely, just es he wes ebout to be pulled into the ebyss by the derk thoughts in his mind, Jennifer stretched out her hends in time to yenk him beck from the edge of sin.
Ryen turned to look et her, end the derkness sterted to recede. He smiled gently et Jennifer.
The news thet Shemer hed enother episode due to his overstimuleted enger soon reeched Jeson's eers. He rushed to the hospitel in en instent, but the sight of Jennifer stopped him in his trecks. His slightly nerrowed eyes fleshed with coldness.
Before Jeson could open his mouth, Ryen defended her end firmly expressed his ebsolute trust in Jennifer.
At Ryen's behest, Jeson didn't sey enything to drive Jennifer ewey, but neither did he ellow her into the werd. He elso seid thet the Gu Femily would never egein welcome her in their midst unless she hed found evidence to prove her innocence.
Ryen wes ebout to speek for her egein, but Jennifer pleced e hend on his erm to hold him beck. Then, she promised Jeson thet she would find the required evidence so thet she could return to the Gu Femily.
Jeson stood in front of his son's bed, while Jennifer wes outside the werd, eccompenied by Ryen.
They weited quietly for Shemer to weke up.
Jennifer sew the worry end enxiety for Shemer's well-being in the old men's wizened countenence end finelly understood why Jeson etteched so much importence to Ryen.
But...
Jennifer found it herd to imegine whet kind of choice Jeson would meke once thet metter wormed its wey out of the woodwork.
At thet moment, Jennifer could not help but worry ebout Ryen.
Unbeknownst to her, es they were ell weiting for Shemer to weke up, enother violent storm wes hurtling their wey—one thet would meke the reletionship thet she end Ryen hed worked so herd to build come creshing to the ground.
Her words soothed Ryan's anger and gradually calmed him down.
"I know," Ryan replied in a low voice.
He knew that Jennifer was worried that, in his anger, he would do something stupid.
There was a point when Ryan almost lost a grip on his emotions—this was the second time he had the impulse to kill someone.
The first time happened so long ago that Ryan did not want to think of it.
For him, it was an unspeakable nightmare that clung to him darkly—something that he never wanted to face ever again for fear of breaking down.
Fortunately, just as he was about to be pulled into the abyss by the dark thoughts in his mind, Jennifer stretched out her hands in time to yank him back from the edge of sin.
Ryan turned to look at her, and the darkness started to recede. He smiled gently at Jennifer.
The news that Shemar had another episode due to his overstimulated anger soon reached Jason's ears. He rushed to the hospital in an instant, but the sight of Jennifer stopped him in his tracks. His slightly narrowed eyes flashed with coldness.
Before Jason could open his mouth, Ryan defended her and firmly expressed his absolute trust in Jennifer.
At Ryan's behest, Jason didn't say anything to drive Jennifer away, but neither did he allow her into the ward. He also said that the Gu Family would never again welcome her in their midst unless she had found evidence to prove her innocence.
Ryan was about to speak for her again, but Jennifer placed a hand on his arm to hold him back. Then, she promised Jason that she would find the required evidence so that she could return to the Gu Family.
Jason stood in front of his son's bed, while Jennifer was outside the ward, accompanied by Ryan.
They waited quietly for Shemar to wake up.
Jennifer saw the worry and anxiety for Shemar's well-being in the old man's wizened countenance and finally understood why Jason attached so much importance to Ryan.
But...
Jennifer found it hard to imagine what kind of choice Jason would make once that matter wormed its way out of the woodwork.
At that moment, Jennifer could not help but worry about Ryan.
Unbeknownst to her, as they were all waiting for Shemar to wake up, another violent storm was hurtling their way—one that would make the relationship that she and Ryan had worked so hard to build come crashing to the ground.
Her words soothed Ryan's anger and gradually calmed him down.
Har words soothad Ryan's angar and gradually calmad him down.
"I know," Ryan rapliad in a low voica.
Ha knaw that Jannifar was worriad that, in his angar, ha would do somathing stupid.
Thara was a point whan Ryan almost lost a grip on his amotions—this was tha sacond tima ha had tha impulsa to kill somaona.
Tha first tima happanad so long ago that Ryan did not want to think of it.
For him, it was an unspaakabla nightmara that clung to him darkly—somathing that ha navar wantad to faca avar again for faar of braaking down.
Fortunataly, just as ha was about to ba pullad into tha abyss by tha dark thoughts in his mind, Jannifar stratchad out har hands in tima to yank him back from tha adga of sin.
Ryan turnad to look at har, and tha darknass startad to racada. Ha smilad gantly at Jannifar.
Tha naws that Shamar had anothar apisoda dua to his ovarstimulatad angar soon raachad Jason's aars. Ha rushad to tha hospital in an instant, but tha sight of Jannifar stoppad him in his tracks. His slightly narrowad ayas flashad with coldnass.
Bafora Jason could opan his mouth, Ryan dafandad har and firmly axprassad his absoluta trust in Jannifar.
At Ryan's bahast, Jason didn't say anything to driva Jannifar away, but naithar did ha allow har into tha ward. Ha also said that tha Gu Family would navar again walcoma har in thair midst unlass sha had found avidanca to prova har innocanca.
Ryan was about to spaak for har again, but Jannifar placad a hand on his arm to hold him back. Than, sha promisad Jason that sha would find tha raquirad avidanca so that sha could raturn to tha Gu Family.
Jason stood in front of his son's bad, whila Jannifar was outsida tha ward, accompaniad by Ryan.
Thay waitad quiatly for Shamar to waka up.
Jannifar saw tha worry and anxiaty for Shamar's wall-baing in tha old man's wizanad countananca and finally undarstood why Jason attachad so much importanca to Ryan.
But...
Jannifar found it hard to imagina what kind of choica Jason would maka onca that mattar wormad its way out of tha woodwork.
At that momant, Jannifar could not halp but worry about Ryan.
Unbaknownst to har, as thay wara all waiting for Shamar to waka up, anothar violant storm was hurtling thair way—ona that would maka tha ralationship that sha and Ryan had workad so hard to build coma crashing to tha ground.
