"Young lord, are you really going to let them go so easily?" the scarred man asked in confusion.

"Yes." Corbett nodded.

The scarred man frowned at his answer. 'The young lord had tried his best to keep Frank here. Why did he suddenly let him go? I don't understand...'

It was not until Frank was out of sight in the darkness that Corbett turned around and walked into the villa.

Frank held William's hand without looking back. The scorching stare behind him seemed to have followed them for quite some time.

"Well, you don't have to walk so fast." While holding on to Frank, William turned around and saw Corbett was nowhere to be seen.

"I'm afraid that he will regret his words," Frank replied, a little flustered.

"Oh no, he's already back."

"Back... Has he gone back?" Frank looked back quickly, only to see the brightly lit gate and the bodyguards standing on both sides with expressionless faces.

He really went back!

Somehow, Frank felt a sense of loss.

"Let's go," said William, taking Frank into the car.

"Isn't this my father's car?" Frank asked after getting in the car.

"Yes." William nodded. "I borrowed it from uncle."

"You've met him?" Frank asked in surprise.

"Yes."

"Did he make things difficult for you?"

"Don't worry." William smiled. "No."

"Really?" Frank asked again with a look of disbelief on his face.

"Yeah." With a smile, William changed the subject. "How were you for the past two days? I'm sorry, I'm late."

"I'm fine. Don't worry," Frank replied, but Corbett's face flashed

they surrounded him and asked how the operation went.

"The mother is fine, but the child could not be saved," the doctor replied regretfully.

"Nancy..." Elise burst into tears and almost collapsed.

"Well," said Felipe, who fell heavily on the chair in the corridor, "you can leave now. Just go..."

Frank swallowed hard. He did not know how to describe his feelings at this moment.

"The patient hasn't woken up. You can visit her when she wakes up but you should not tire her." The doctor nodded and turned around to leave.

Nancy was soon pushed out of the operating room. She looked so pale and lifeless, with an IV inserted in her cubital area.

They were all silent as they waited outside the ward.

Nobody uttered a word. What should they say anyway? Should they have a big fight?

Perhaps Nancy was hiding from the crowd on purpose, or she really had not woken up. The doctor still did not allow them to visit her even if it was already noon.

"I'm going to buy some food," whispered William to Frank. "Your parents haven't eaten anything in the morning. They can't hold on any longer. I'll be back soon."

"Okay." Frank nodded, looking lonely.

"Okay." William held Frank's shoulder and sighed before walking out of the hospital.

He went to the nearest convenience store and bought soup and rice. He was about to pay for them when he suddenly found his phone in his pocket. It had not been turned on for two days.

'Mary...'

William thought for a moment and borrowed a charger for his phone from the shop assistant.
