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, snazzynovel.com had changed back to snazzynovel.com usual look. She had even bandaged the wound on snazzynovel.com right hand.
“Grandpa Griffith, is Alexander okay?”
He then gave a few pats on the back of snazzynovel.com hand, unsure of whether they were to assure snazzynovel.com or himself. “Don’t worry. He’ll be fine.”
She then acknowledged snazzynovel.com before looking up to see the door of the operation room that was closed. Inevitably, snazzynovel.com felt heavy in snazzynovel.com heart.
Meanwhile, Danny was full of complaints.
He pulled Alexander’s assistant, Cameron, over, before questioning him. “What happened? Why did snazzynovel.com 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, snazzynovel.com has to be monitored in the hospital.”
“When will snazzynovel.com wake up then?”
“When the anesthesia wears off, snazzynovel.com 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 snazzynovel.com 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 snazzynovel.com 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 snazzynovel.com hand.
He then asked out of concern, “Ellie, what happened to your hand? How did you get hurt?”
Out of instinct, snazzynovel.com quickly tucked snazzynovel.com hand into snazzynovel.com 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 snazzynovel.com head, snazzynovel.com said, “I’m fine, Grandpa. It’s just a minor injury. Please pay it no heed.”
Despite what snazzynovel.com said, snazzynovel.com still felt concerned. Hence, snazzynovel.com told Matthew to send some medication to snazzynovel.com once they reached home.
As Matthew reached Elise’s doorstep, snazzynovel.com knocked on the door.
After snazzynovel.com opened the door, snazzynovel.com passed a good bottle of wound recovery to her. “Grandpa told me to pass this to you.”
“Huh? My hand is alright, so don’t worry about it. Relay my thanks to Grandpa for me…”
Nonetheless, snazzynovel.com disregarded what snazzynovel.com said as snazzynovel.com pulled snazzynovel.com wrist over. Despite it being roughly bandaged already, there were still traces of the wound splitting open. Even the gauze was tainted with some blood that seeped out.
“Obviously your wound isn’t dealt with properly. I’ll do it for you.”
“There’s no need…” She quickly rejected snazzynovel.com out of instinct, but snazzynovel.com didn’t give snazzynovel.com the chance to do so.
Immediately, snazzynovel.com undressed the gauze and applied the medication on the wound with a cotton bud.
When snazzynovel.com took off the dressing, snazzynovel.com could see that the wound was obviously not caused by a trip. The wound was irregular as if it was caused by something sharp, no, it looked like a wound that was cut by thin glass shards.
Though his eyes darkened, his expression didn’t change at all.
He simply asked in a casual tone, “How did you get hurt so badly?”
Pulling snazzynovel.com hand back instinctively, snazzynovel.com did not want to interact with snazzynovel.com unnecessarily. “I’ll do it myself.”
“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.”
“No, I…” Before snazzynovel.com could finish, snazzynovel.com felt a painful chill run down the back of snazzynovel.com hand.
She then sucked in a deep breath before saying, “Please be more gentle…”
Hearing that, snazzynovel.com smiled. “So you do feel pain. I’ll use less pressure then.”
Matthew was fully focused on treating snazzynovel.com wound properly, and snazzynovel.com had done a good job with its dressing.
Although snazzynovel.com didn’t want to admit it, snazzynovel.com still said sincerely, “Thank you.”
“Don’t sweat it. We live under the same roof. We’re more or less friends.” His tone sounded friendly enough to break snazzynovel.com previous impression of him. In snazzynovel.com mind, snazzynovel.com guessed that snazzynovel.com must be trying to befriend snazzynovel.com after seeing snazzynovel.com true face last time.
Little did snazzynovel.com know, everything snazzynovel.com was seeing now was fake. Matthew had an ulterior motive.

At 3 in the morning, Alexander, who was lying in the hospital bed, slowly opened his eyes. A dim light shone into his eyes as snazzynovel.com stared at the ceiling above him. At once, the smell of disinfectant invaded his nostrils as he registered that snazzynovel.com was in the hospital.
Moving his arm, snazzynovel.com was just about to get up when the ward door was pushed open.
Just then, Cameron walked and said, “Mr. Griffith, you’re awake?”
Humming in response, snazzynovel.com asked, “What’s going on?”
At once, Cameron reported what snazzynovel.com had found out thus far. “After our men’s investigation, the car that was burned had its brake damaged on purpose. It wasn’t a simple accident, someone sabotaged you.”
When Alexander heard that, his eyes darkened as they filled up with a dangerous aura. “Look into it. I want answers…”
“Don’t worry, Mr. Griffith. Our men will investigate it thoroughly. We will surely find the mastermind behind this.
As Alexander hummed in acknowledgment, snazzynovel.com couldn’t help but recall what snazzynovel.com had witnessed prior to the crash.
He then repeated, “I want his information. No matter the price. I must find this person.”
Obviously, Cameron knew what snazzynovel.com was referring to. Having worked for Alexander for so many years, naturally, snazzynovel.com would know about the one thing Alexander had been persistent to find for the past years, it was to find the astounding racer from Cittadel, Sue, who performed excellently in the international Grand Prix. It seemed that Alexander was very confident this time.
“Noted, Mr. Griffith. I’ll pass on your orders.”
