Chapter 29
The news that Alexander had gotten into an accident had alarmed a lot of people. In the hospital, the Griffiths
were all present, including Jonah.
“How’s Alexander? Is his life in danger?” Danny asked the doctor in a very anxious tone. The doctor then
answered truthfully, “Aside from outer injuries, there isn’t much trauma on his body. However, we will only be sure
after a thorough examination. Please be patient.”
“Thank you, doctor,” Jonah said with sincerity. Knowing that the Griffiths are of noble backgrounds, the doctor reassured them, “Don’t worry, we’ll try our best.”

When Elise arrived at the hospital, she had changed back to her usual look. She had even bandaged the wound
on her right hand.
“Grandpa Griffith, is Alexander okay?”
He then gave a few pats on the back of her hand, unsure of whether they were to assure her or himself. “Don’t worry. He’ll be fine.”
She then acknowledged him before looking up to see the door of the operation room that was closed. Inevitably, she felt heavy in her heart.
Meanwhile, Danny was full of complaints. He pulled Alexander’s assistant, Cameron, over, before questioning him. “What happened? Why did he suddenly go racing again? He even got into such a big accident.”
“Young Master Griffith, I’ve already assigned some people to investigate this matter. I believe that there will be news soon. Please don’t get enraged. The most important thing right now is Mr. Griffith’s health.”

“I’m telling you, if something bad happens to Alexander, I will not let you off” Danny said with anger. At this moment, he was nothing less of an enraged lion.

Just then, the door of the operation room opened. Following, a doctor and several nurses came out. At once, the Griffiths swarmed forward. “How did it go, doctor? Is my grandson alright?”
The doctor then pulled off his surgical mask before reporting the condition of the patient. “Aside from some
minor injury to the basic cartilage, there isn’t anything major, but the collision has caused a cerebral concussion. Thus, he has to be monitored in the hospital.”
“When will he wake up then?”
“When the anesthesia wears off, he should wake up.”
The doctor’s words had made everyone feel less worried. Then, Jonah turned to look at Matthew, who had been quiet throughout the incident, before saying, “Alright, since he’s okay, a few of you can head back first.”
Nonetheless, Matthew hesitated. “Grandpa, why don’t I stay here today? You all can head back.”
Usually, Jonah wouldn’t say anything, but he simply rejected Matthew’s proposal today. “There isn’t much use for you to stay here. Just let Danny stay behind. All of us can go home.”
Hearing what he said, Elise, who initially wanted to find an excuse to stay behind, remained silent. She then went
with Jonah and the others back home with Matthew following suit.
En route back home, Jonah noticed the bandage on her hand. He then asked out of concern, “Ellie, what
happened to your hand? How did you get hurt?”
Out of instinct, she quickly tucked her hand into her pocket before explaining, “I accidentally tripped this
afternoon. It’s not a big deal.”
“Silly girl. You’re always so careless. Are you alright?”
Shaking her head, she said, “I’m fine, Grandpa. It’s just a minor injury. Please pay it no heed.”
Despite what she said, he still felt concerned. Hence, he told Matthew to send some medication to her once they
reached home.
“Do all girls like to act tough? Why are you still keeping up a tough front when you‘re already hurt? If you don’t wish to talk, I won’t ask.”
Hearing that, he smiled. “So you do feel pain. I’ll use less pressure then.”
“Don’t sweat it. We live under the same roof. We’re more or less friends.” His tone sounded friendly enough to
Moving his arm, he was just about to get up when the ward door was pushed open. Just then, Cameron walked

When Alexander heard that, his eyes darkened as they filled up with a dangerous aura. “Look into it. I want
