Rufus let out a long sigh. “Well, Stuart is still my son. Just now, when he burst into tears, I suddenly recalled how hard he had tried to please me when he was still a child. I’ll admit that I’m someone who practiced favoritism. Thus, in a way, I’m also responsible for how he is acting now, and I feel guilty about it. Besides, I don’t find his demand unreasonable.”

After glancing at the bedridden Jacinta, he continued, “He wanted to visit his mom because he knew he could no longer run away. He might not have a chance to meet his mom if he doesn’t do it now. Bring him to the hospital before sending him to the police station.”

Rufus spoke in a stern voice as if he would not take no for an answer.

He then passed the phone to Xavier. “He’s still on the line. Find someone to bring Uncle Stuart over. If you think he’s a threat, get a few more men to keep an eye on him and make sure he’s unarmed. What are you waiting for? You do want to settle this as soon as possible, don’t you? Get it done right now.”

Xavier took over the phone and instinctively looked at Winnie. At that time, Winnie was sitting beside the bed to accompany Jacinta.

Just when Winnie was about to speak, Jacinta regained consciousness.

Before this, she was acting crazy, so the doctor had to administer sedatives to calm her down. To prevent her from becoming hysterical again, the doctor took precautionary measures by binding her limbs and putting her in a special hospital gown.

When Jacinta woke up and realized she was tied up, she started shrieking, “Why am I all tied up? Why did you do this to me?”

She could not help but shiver upon noticing the crowd in the ward.

Only when Winnie walked over and reached her hand to comfort her did she notice the woman was standing by her side. “Winnie, am I in the hospital? Get the doctor to untie me and release me. I want to go and see my son. Please, Winnie. I want to see my son. Don’t forget he’s your uncle too.”

“Granny…” Winnie’s heart jolted when she saw how unstable Jacinta was. Somehow, she felt her condition was more severe than she first thought.
