New beginning: Billionaire love story

Chapter 487

"Yeah, it's me," Grace said. "How's Carson's condition?"

"He's fine now," Vivian said. "The doctor said he can go back after staying in the hospital for a few more days. Grace, why haven't I seen you recently?"

"I'm in Seefer City right now," Grace said.

"Seefer City?" Vivian said as she widened her eyes in slight surprise. She thought, 'Isn't that my hometown?'

"Yes, Vivian," Grace said. "Too many things have happened recently... I'm physically and emotionally exhausted." As she spoke, she choked up.

"How come you ended up in Seefer City?" Vivian said. "And why are you calling me from a landline?" "My phone fell into the sea," Grace said. "I'm at Central Hospital in Seefer City right now."

Vivian knew that Grace must have been through a lot, but it wasn't something that could be explained clearly over the phone in a short amount of time.

"Are you injured?" she said. "How come you are in the hospital?"

Grace said, "It's Brian..." She could not help but choke up when she thought of Brian's current state. Vivian hurriedly said, "Grace, don't cry. Do you have any money with you right now?"

"Don't worry," Grace said. "I still have money. I'll return once Brian's condition stabilizes a bit."

With that said, Grace hung up.

Carson came out of the bathroom after taking a shower. When he saw Vivian in a daze, he asked, "What's wrong?"

"It's your sister," Vivian said. "It seems like she's in some trouble. Both she and Brian are in Seefer City. It appears that Brian is hospitalized."

Carson frowned and said, "Isn't that your hometown?"

"Yep," Vivian said. "I'm also puzzled. Why did the two of them go there? It's not a tourist area, and there's no business to develop."

Upon hearing that Brian was hospitalized, Carson was certain that something bad had happened. He said worriedly, "I'll check out of the hospital tomorrow. We'll pick them up."

Vivian hesitated for a moment. She said, "But your illness..."

"There's nothing serious about my illness," Carson said. "I've almost recovered."

"But you're still on the IV drip," Vivian said.

"It's fine," Carson said. "It's settled then."

"I know you're worried about your sister's safety, but she's also worried about you," Vivian said. "I've asked her. Even though she's in the hospital, she still has some money with her. She'll be fine."

Carson frowned, saying, "I'm worried. I'm her only family member."

Vivian frowned as she looked at him for a moment. In the end, she had no choice but to compromise, saying, "Alright then."
