Chapter 360: 360 Understanding Grandson_1
Legend of Dragon Son-in-law
âGrandpa, I am at the hospital, can you come see me?â
Zade Radcliffe, who was dealing with affairs in his office at Northern Energy Group, suddenly received a call from his grandson.
He was also curious as to why he had not seen Otis Radcliffe in the workshop today.
Just as he was thinking of finishing his work and then giving a call, his grandson beat him to it.
âOtis, whatâs wrong? What illness have you contracted?â Zade Radcliffe asked with utmost concern.
His most beloved was this grandson.
From a young age, he had raised Otis as his successor, always giving him the best of everything. As for the other Radcliffe children, they had to wait until Otis had made his pick.
Now, hearing that Otis was sick, Zade Radcliffe became instantly anxious.
How could a perfectly healthy person become ill all of a sudden?
âMy legs were broken by Julius Reed. I am now lying in the hospital waiting for surgery,â Otis said in a pained tone, his voice even carrying a sob.
âWhat!â
Upon hearing Otisâs words, Zade Radcliffe roared in fury, âWhat right does Julius Reed have to hit my grandson! Otis, which hospital are you at? Iâll be right there! Rest assured, Grandfather will take care of Julius Reed for you!â
As the General Manager of Northern Energy Group, he had made the acquaintance of many celebrities and tycoons within Five-river Province.
Even though his former allies Miguel Abbott and Stanislaus Potter had died in a car accident, Northern Energy Group still placed great trust in Zade Radcliffe.
âGrandfather, Iâm at Harmony Hospital in Five-river Province. Just come over, weâll talk about revenge later,â Otis said weakly, âGrandfather, Iâm a bit tired, Iâll get some sleep first.â
âGood! You rest well, grandson, Iâll be there shortly,â Zade Radcliffe was heavily burdened after hearing the news of Otisâs injury.
He grabbed his overcoat hanging in the office, walked out, instructed his secretary to arrange the car, and headed straight to Harmony Hospital in Five-river Province.
On the way, he started planning how to deal with Julius Reed.
If he didnât kill Julius Reed for breaking Otisâs legs twice in a row, Zade Radcliffe felt he would never calm his anger.
Soon, the car arrived at the hospital entrance.
Zade Radcliffe didnât wait for the driver; he hurried into Harmony Hospital by himself, took the elevator to the sixth floor where inpatients stayed, and followed the room number Otis had given him earlier.
As soon as he entered the room, he saw Otis lying on the bed, both legs in casts and suspended in the air.
âOtis!â
Zade Radcliffeâs heart clenchedâthis was the apple of his eye!
He silently cursed Julius Reed and rushed to Otisâs bedside to take hold of his grandsonâs hand, âMy boy, your legsâ¦â
Once before, Otisâs legs had been broken by Julius Reed. That time, Zade Radcliffe had spent a great deal of money to get treatment for Otis.
Though he was eventually able to walk, he was left with a limp.
Now, Julius Reed had broken Otisâs legs again. Even a Divine Doctor would probably be powerless to reverse this.
It meant that Otis might have to spend his life in a wheelchair.
âGrandpa!â
Hearing Zade Radcliffeâs voice, Otis suddenly opened his eyes, grabbed hold of Zade Radcliffe with his nearly strengthless hand, and said weakly, âIâve let you down, Grandpa. I wanted to vent your anger for you, but Julius Reed broke both my legs.â
âWhat happened?â
Hearing this, Zade Radcliffe felt a warmth in his heart.
My own grandson, he really does care about me!
If he was indeed beaten into having his legs broken by Julius Reed just to vent his anger on my behalf, Zade Radcliffe would risk his life to avenge Otis!
âYesterday, I was drinking with friends and unexpectedly encountered Julius Reed in the bar. After seeing me, he insulted me, but knowing grandfatherâs plan, I kept my composure.
Who would have thought that after a few drinks, he started to curse at grandfather in the bar!â Otis sighed, âThe insults were so unbearable, I lost control of my emotions.â
âWhat did he say about me!â
Zade Radcliffe didnât furrow his brow tightly but instead grasped the bedsheets of Otisâs hospital bed fiercely.
âHeâ¦â Otis appeared distressed and shook his head weakly, âNever mind. Itâs too vile to repeat.â
The more Otis held back, the more curious Zade Radcliffe became.
âSpeak freely, it wasnât you who did the cursing! Iâd like to hear what this son-in-law, who once married into the Radcliffe Family, thinks of this old man!â Zadeâs eyes narrowed as a murderous intent flashed in them!
âHe said you ungrateful old bastard, I cured your illness, yet you treated me poorly, even less than a dog in our house!â Otisâs face showed difficulty speaking, he stuttered, âThatâs not all, he also cursed you for being blind and not recognizing true talent, saying that an old man like you should just dieâ¦â
Bang!
Zade Radcliffe punched the wall of the hospital room, his face flushed red with anger: âThis beast! I fed him, clothed him, and even gave him my granddaughter in marriage! Now, he⦠he really is an ingratitude!â
Because Otisâs account was all things Zade had indeed done for Julius Reed, he had no doubt about what Otis said.
In fact, he had indeed planned to do so.
But while it was one thing for himself to do it, it was completely another for someone else to criticize it.
âGrandson, you rest and recover. Iâm going to find him!â Zade Radcliffe huffed coldly, âNow, our situation is not what it once was. If he wants to die, I will oblige!â
During his time with Northern Energy Group, aside from amassing a substantial amount of money, Zade Radcliffe also made quite a few friends in high places.
These people did their job for money, and as long as the price was right, Julius Reed, even if he had wings, wouldnât be able to escape!
âGrandfather! Patience leads to a better strategy! Your career is just getting started, and if your grandson loses a leg, so be it. We should both endure a little longer, and not act rashly because of me!â
Otis struggled to sit up from the bed but was in such pain that he broke out in a cold sweat.
âI am truly content that grandfather came to see me! Itâs worth it, not just breaking both legs, but even if it cost me my life!â
His face pale, he said weakly, âAll these years, Iâve depended on grandfatherâs support. I always wanted to do something for you.â
Moved by Otisâs words, Zade Radcliffeâs tears flowed freely.
Although he had dearly loved this grandson for many years, the boyâs waywardness had always disappointed him.
But now, because of Julius Reedâs insults, he went to confront him and ended up with broken legs, yet still advised him to consider the bigger picture.
What a good grandson!
Otisâs words further solidified Zade Radcliffeâs desire for revenge!
âGrandson, you rest easy here! Of all my grandchildren, you are the one I love the most. Now that this beast Julius Reed has broken your legs, your grandfather may not be capable of much, but I can at least make him pay a price!â
Zade Radcliffe patted Otisâs hand and stood up to leave.
âGrandfather!â
Seeing Zade Radcliffeâs resolve, Otis knew his chance had come.
âIf you donât have a good plan, I thought of one overnight that has a great chance of killing Julius Reed! Even if it doesnât kill him, he wonât live long!â
He grabbed at Zade Radcliffeâs clothes and whispered urgently behind him.
