Chapter 407 407: He changed his plans...

Meanwhile, at the Davis estate, the atmosphere had improved. With Old Man Allen already visiting the hospital to see the twins, his spirit had become more stable.

His schedule now ran in a steady rhythm…home to the hospital, hospital back to home as though the twins were the new anchor keeping him rational.

Old Man Elliot had taken over the duty of monitoring the secret cameras installed in Sylas Louis' home.

To him, it was as though life had handed him a new reason, a purpose to live with more energy, practically giving him the chance to prove his skills acquired over the years. .

But perhaps it was also his fault that Sylas' condition worsened by the day. Instead of only haunting him in the night hours, Elliot had made it a habit to flip his peace even in moments when Sylas looked calm.

On this particular day, however, Elliot was tied up with other pressing matters.

In the study, Davis had just shut down his laptop when a soft knock landed on the door. He waited for it to open expecting Ethan's usual brisk entry but no one came in.

"Come in," he called.

The door creaked open, and Elder Allen stepped inside.

"Grandpa," Davis greeted with a respectful nod.

Elder Allen acknowledged him with a brief nod and walked over to the couch. He lowered himself slowly, a small, beautifully crafted box in his hand.

Davis' brow furrowed as his eyes locked onto it. The sight stirred an uneasiness in him. He leaned back into his chair, waiting.

Elder Allen caressed the box gently, a mix of emotion dancing in his eyes. "Davis," he said softly, his voice weighted with meaning. "So many people have paid the price for this. You must protect it well."

A bitter smile tugged at his lips as he continued. "It seems she anticipated she wouldn't be returning anytime soon. The night before her accident, she gave me the second pair of the keys, a proof of her identity asking me to hand it over to you once you returned."
