The nurse said. "Of course you can. I'll go clean the bones now."

Matthew replied, "No need, just leave them as they are."

He carefully wrapped the bone fragments with a handkerchief and put them in his pocket.

The nurse reminded him. "Mr. Graham, even though the surgery was successful, your sister is still in critical condition. Whether she can wake up and survive the danger depends on her time in the ICU Matthew nodded and said, "I understand, thank you." Then, t the nurse left.

After ten minutes, Athena and her team walked out.

Freya stepped forward and said, "Mr. Graham, you can go see your sister outside the ICU now."

Matthew wanted to say more to express his deepest gratitude to them, but with his sister on his mind, he could only manage a quick "Thank you all before hurrying away.

Standing outside the glass doors of the ICU, he saw Lucy lying there quietly. Aside from the fresh bandages on her head. nothing seemed different.

His eyes reddened slightly, but not a single tear fell.

At their mother's funeral, he had sworn to her that he would never cry again in his life. If there were any tears, they would only be shed by his enemies.

After an unknown time, he heard the footsteps of Freya and the others passing through the hallway. He quickly gathered his thoughts and prepared to meet Dr. Annie and her team.

Just then, Louis quickly walked over and said gravely, "The board of directors and the family council are pressuring your grandfather, demanding that Lucy return to the country immediately and hold a press conference to clear up the rumors. Mr. Neil Graham couldn't handle the pressure anymore, or perhaps he didn't want to, so he called me. He gives you an ultimatum, saying that if you don't hand over Lucy, the board will convene an emergency meeting to discuss impeaching

you.

Matthew was silent for a few seconds before responding. Tm heading back to Valemont City now. You stay here and take care of Dr. Annie and her team. Also, inform the media in Valemont City that III be holding a press conference at three o'clock in the afternoon in the hall of the Graham Hotel to clarify the rumors about my sister."

Then, he drove out of the villa and headed to the private airport
