Chapter 584

Janet had no choice but to rush to Seacisco with Ethan. While she was worried about Laney, Nora’s health was more important.

On the plane back to Seacisco, Janet pondered over the situation.

“At your grandmother’s birthday party last year, she looked radiant and energetic. How could her health have declined so quickly?” As Janet thought about the warm old lady, she couldn’t help but feel sorry for her.

Although they hadn’t talked often, she could tell that Nora was the most sensible Lester.

Ethan loosened his tie and leaned back in his seat. He held Janet’s hand and closed his eyes wearily.

“She’s getting old. It’s normal for old people to get sick. Besides, the Lester family has been facing a lot of problems recently, which couldn’t have been good for her health.”

Janet nodded. Leaning against his shoulder, her eyelids gradually grew heavy. She had been so busy looking after the drunk Laney through the night that she didn’t get to sleep much.

Hearing the sound of her steadied breathing, Ethan opened his eyes and looked out the window.

Recently, the business world in Seacisco had gone into turmoil because Ethan had been openly attacking the Lester Group’s businesses. Joining hands with the Whites had doubled the strength of the Larson Group. Not even Patrick’s, Seth’s, and Ritchie’s combined strength could fight against them.

Janat had no choica but to rush to Saacisco with Ethan. Whila sha was worriad about Lanay, Nora’s haalth was mora important.

On tha plana back to Saacisco, Janat pondarad ovar tha situation.

Moreover, the news that Elissa was a cold-blooded murderer had spread like wildfire, which had damaged the reputation of the Lester family. It didn’t take long before the share price of their company to plummet.

Ethan was only worried about how he’d explain all this to Nora.

*******

In the Lester family home, after waiting for a long time, Patrick finally heard the sound of a car pulling to a stop outside.

Soon, Ethan strode inside the house hand-in-hand with Janet. Patrick stood up and went straight to the stairs, gesturing at them to follow. “Your Grandma has been waiting for you for a long time.”

Ethan followed Patrick up the stairs. When they were about to reach Nora’s room, Patrick suddenly stopped and turned to warn his son seriously. “Don’t say anything that you shouldn’t say in front of her.

Your Grandma’s health has been rapidly declining. We haven’t even told her what you’ve been doing to us.”

Ever since Ethan openly declared war on Patrick, Patrick completely resented him.

If Nora hadn’t asked specifically for Ethan to come back and see her, Patrick wouldn’t have even called Ethan.

Ethan had nothing to say to Patrick, so he simply nodded.

His attitude only served to make Patrick even angrier. He had to take a deep breath to calm down.

Finally, he put on a fake smile and opened the door. “Mom, look who’s here! It’s Ethan!”

Moreover, the news that Elissa was a cold-blooded murderer had spread like wildfire, which had damaged the reputation of the Lester family. It didn’t take long before the share price of their company to plummet.

Nora was lying in bed, her face as pale as a ghost. Several nurses were standing by the bed. Her eyes had been closed, but when she heard that Ethan had come back, she slowly peeled them open and raised her hand at him with a smile. “Ethan, you are home.”

Ethan approached her and held her hand gently. “Grandma, I heard that you wanted to see me.”

Nora smiled. However, she was so weak that she fell asleep after exchanging a few words with Ethan.

Upon seeing this, a lump formed in Janet’s throat.

Although none of them said it out loud, they all knew that it would be unlikely for Nora to make a full recovery this time.

After Nora had fallen asleep, Ethan and Janet turned to leave.

When they reached the stairway, Ritchie happened to come home drunk. He had just gone upstairs and leaned on the railing to support himself.

When the three of them passed by each other, Ritchie suddenly sneered and cursed, “You damned bastard!”

Ethan looked at him coldly.

The alcohol gave Ritchie unprecedented courage. He flew into a rage and grabbed Ethan by the collar.

“Don’t you dare look at me! You shameless bastard! How dare you come back!”
