Chapter 401: To prepare a wake up gift for Sylas

Davis’ car pulled up at the gates of the estate, his fist clenching on his laps as the familiar sight came into view.

He cast a quick glance at the doorstep, ready to alight, but froze when his eyes narrowed at the scene waiting for him.

Standing with grave, probing gazes were Elder Allen, Deborah, and several members of the household staff.

The sight of them keeping silent, expectant, heavy with questions made his throat tighten.

For a fleeting second he thought of asking the driver to turn the car around and heading back to the hospital, but he knew that wasn’t an option. Running would only delay what he couldn’t escape.

He really couldn’t run from this forever.

Davis rubbed his brow, "It seems I can’t escape this." He muttered to himself.

He exhaled deeply and with a click the car door opened and he stepped down.

To the others, he appeared calm, but inside his chest his heart hammered with dread, each beat echoing the outcome he feared this meeting might bring.

Ethan got out beside him, his gaze flicking between Davis and the group waiting. He felt a pang of pity. Convincing these people would not be easy.

He leaned toward Davis while he shot the Old Man Allen a glance and whispered low, "It seems I have to call the doctor over, in case it turns out bad."

Davis nodded in approval, having his wife in the ICU and his children in the NICU was already a challenge and he wouldn’t want another emergency and ICU.

Slowly, he dragged his footsteps towards them like a young child who had failed the instruction of his parents and was now tasked with accepting the punishment.
