Requiem of a Broken Heart

Chapter 657:

No sooner had her feet touched the cold tile floor than Ronald rushed over in concern. “You shouldn’t get up. Your body is still weak.”

“How’s my brother?” Rachel asked urgently.

“Please rest assured. He is out of the woods now. His condition is currently stable.”

Rachel finally allowed herself to relax, if only a little. “I still want to see him.”

“Mr. White just sent word that your brother is asleep. He asked you not to worry.”

“I just want to take a look at him,” Rachel insisted. In the end, Ronald had no choice but to give in.

When Rachel stepped into the other hospital room a few minutes later, her gaze immediately fell on Jeffrey’s figure on the bed. He looked frail from excessive blood loss, and his complexion was pale.

She felt a pang in her heart. Her tears were falling before she even knew it.noveldrama

When she swept her gaze over the room, she was surprised to see that Brian was also there. She hadn’t expected him to stay and watch over Jeffrey.

“Thank you,” she said, her eyes filled with emotion.

“I promised you I’d keep Jeffrey safe,” Brian replied lightly.

He was also pale from the blood transfusion and looked utterly spent as he leaned back in the chair.

“You don’t look well. Let Ronald take you home so you can rest properly,” Rachel offered.

Regardless of the past grudges between them, or whether she loved or hated him, the fact that he had saved Jeffrey remained. If only for that, she felt compelled to care about his well-being.

“You should let him take you back to your ward instead. I’m fine. All I need is a nap, and I’ll be good as new.” Rachel didn’t press any further.

Yvonne arrived the next day. She was much more spirited after her respite and was more than ready to take care of Rachel. Thanks to her, Rachel recovered at a significant speed.

Jeffrey’s condition remained stable over the next few days. Throughout that time, Brian spared no resources and launched an in-depth investigation.

It took three days for Ronald to gather all the facts and present the evidence to him. Ronald had hired top detectives and leveraged even his own connections to look into Tracy and Neal’s dealings.

The whole truth was now laid bare in the report Brian was holding. All he had to do was read the file, and everything would be crystal clear.

So, for the next two hours, Brian reviewed every single detail. His expression grew clouded at first, but by the time he was done, there was an ominous aura thrumming in the air around him.

Ronald knew all too well that this was the calm before a devastating storm.

Brian’s silent rage was terrifying, and once unleashed, it was bound to be destructive.

“Get in here!” Brian finally boomed from inside his office.
