Chapter 409

What shocking news!

Stupefied at the news, the First Elder took a few steps back and collapsed into the

seat.

He mumbled, “Impossible. It’s impossible. She’s so young. It can’t be true.”

“Hal.” Jeremy no longer wanted to talk to the First Elder.

So what if they threatened him with the Great Nourishment Pill? Since the Watson family was already done for, it did not matter anymore. He could not care less.

Jeremy hung up the phone, determined not to get involved in the Grant family matters in the future.

Meanwhile, Olivia was at Smith Hospital in Layfield.

She was visiting Isaac.

Isaac’s condition had stabilized, and all his health indicators had returned to normalcy. However, he was still in a coma because of the voodoo worms.

The worms in Isaac’s body were activated during his previous heart attack. They had been absorbing the energy in his body.

That was the reason why Isaac had not woken up after so long.

Olivia sat by Isaac’s bed. She held his hand, thinking of how healthy and active he used to be. Now, he was lying motionless on the bed, barely breathing.

Her heart wrenched to see him in that state.

She missed her grandfather very much.

Just then, Ben, the deputy director of the hospital, walked into the room. When he saw the thin and slender girl sitting by the bed, his heart welled up in sorrow. Olivia was only in her twenties. While many girls of her age were still protected by their parents, Olivia had already experienced a multitude of life’s challenges. Her grandfather had fallen gravely ill, and her siblings had turned against her. Not only did she have to take care of her grandfather, but she also had to take on the responsibility for Smith Hospital.

Although Olivia never complained, Ben knew she must be tired.

With such a huge burden on her shoulders, she must be under intense pressure. At the thought of that, Ben felt a sharp pang in his heart. He walked up to her and patted her shoulder. “Olivia, if you cannot take it any longer, just cry out loud. You’ve to shoulder the responsibility of such a big hospital. If this burden is too huge to bear, get some professional help.”

Taken aback, Olivia’s eyes blinked. “Ben, what are you talking about? How can the

“How did you get it?” Olivia answered impassively, “I hacked into the Grant family’s system.” All along, Olivia did not expect the Grant family to hand over the Great Nourishment Pill’s cure voluntarily. Even if they gave it to her, she would not know if they were being truthful. They might forge
