CHAPTER 304: CHAPTER 304: DO YOU TAKE ME FOR A FOOL?

The two of them had a frank conversation.

Bianca Lynch wouldn’t overthink things anymore.

People in the room were already calling them over for dinner.

The two returned, carrying the cat.

Just as they were about to enter the door, Bianca Lynch suddenly had a mischievous thought.

She leaned close to Serena Sterling’s ear and asked her something.

Serena’s face suddenly turned crimson.

"Bianca Lynch!" Serena reached up and pinched Bianca Lynch’s arm.

Bianca Lynch giggled and ran inside, hiding behind Ethan Lynch.

Playful scuffles ensued.

Over there, the ragdoll cat had returned to Seraphina and Orion Hawthorne, watching them.

The two were fiddling with the cat’s wheel.

The kitten liked to run on it when there’s nothing else to do.

"Meow~"

The ragdoll meowed.

Meanwhile, Silas Hawthorne brought out a lamp, at that moment, the doorbell rang, the butler went to answer it, and Xander Linton walked in.

He brought some things along.

Seeing a few people tinkering with the wheel, he also leaned in for a look.

Eventually, the wheel was modified into a cat-powered generator.

June Hawthorne held a cat teaser, enticing the kitten to run.

"Meow!"

The chubby ragdoll reluctantly started to run.

As the wheel turned, a small light on the side lit up.

A group of people gathered to watch.

Xander Linton thought of something and took out the wooden fox carving he’d made earlier.

Recently, he had hollowed it out, turning it into a perforated fox.

Now it fit perfectly over the lamp.

It matched well.

Under the lamp’s light, a huge fox shadow was cast around.

"Perfect!"

Quinn captured the moment, while Justin Jennings shielded Bianca Lynch, preventing Serena Sterling from tickling her.

Everything was wonderful.

It was a beautiful night.

Everyone took their seats and started dinner.

Serena Sterling tried a dish and tasted a familiar flavor.

She paused slightly.

Isn’t this the skill of the Lynch Family’s chef?

But tonight’s meal was cooked by Ethan Lynch and the chef together.

Serena Sterling looked blankly toward Ethan Lynch not far away.

"Is it good?" Ethan Lynch smiled and asked, "It’s my handiwork."

Serena understood.

She lowered her gaze slightly and took another bite.

"It’s delicious," she said.

Previously, the person who always cooked for her was Ethan Lynch.

The cook from the Lynch Family with great culinary skills was Ethan Lynch.

However, since he was showcasing his skills at Hawthorne Manor, it meant he had completely let go.

Serena’s heart understood.

She looked up, softly saying to Ethan Lynch, "Thank you."

"You’re welcome," Ethan Lynch replied.

Without saying anything further, yet both understood each other’s intentions.

Silas Hawthorne observed quietly, without saying anything, serving her a bowl of soup.

Serena looked at Silas Hawthorne, reached out to receive it.

Then glanced at Ethan Lynch, who had already shifted his gaze.

He was talking with Bianca Lynch beside him.

Serena felt comforted.

This was good.

Everyone could still be friends.

...

Elsewhere.

Julian Lawson had arrived at Vera Hansen’s hospital room.

At this moment, Vera Hansen had completed all her examinations and was confined to a room.

The results would be out soon, and she kept sending messages to Connor Goldsmith, causing an online storm.

As the room door opened, Vera Hansen looked up.

She thought it was Jude Chaucer and was ready to curse.

But before she could speak, she saw Julian Lawson’s pale and haggard face.

Julian Lawson sat in a wheelchair, pushed in by an assistant.

The two stared at each other, and Vera Hansen immediately pursed her lips, pretending to cry.

"Brother Julian, Jude Chaucer he..." Vera Hansen said a lot, about how Jude Chaucer had forced her to be examined, but Julian Lawson just sat in the wheelchair, staying silent.

He quietly watched Vera Hansen’s performance.

Vera Hansen’s act was like a mirror reflecting his foolishness.

Vera Hansen was performing a monologue, felt bored without feedback, and stopped.

Watching Vera Hansen halt, Julian Lawson checked the time.

"In approximately five minutes, your examination results will be out," Julian Lawson said, his lips slightly parted.

Vera Hansen instantly lost her temper.

"Brother Julian, you don’t believe me!" Vera Hansen shouted loudly.

Julian Lawson displayed a calm demeanor.

Calmness tinged with suppressed anger.

"Vera Hansen," Julian Lawson began, "I have always believed in you."

The events of that day a year ago were too horrific, he thought many times, luckily the person who went was Vera Hansen, luckily Serena wasn’t harmed.

He often felt guilty for his despicable luck.

His guilt towards her blinded his eyes.

Therefore, when Vera Hansen said she only had half a year left, he didn’t doubt.

He hoped the secret would be taken to the grave with Vera Hansen’s death.

[Once Vera Hansen dies, everything will go back to the starting point.] He often comforted himself this way.

Thus, during this period, he repeatedly indulged Vera Hansen.

Even repeatedly harmed Serena.

Harmed the person he always wanted to protect.

"But Vera Hansen, you lied to me." Julian Lawson said, the image of Serena covered in blood appearing before him, his voice filled with hatred.

"I did not!" Vera Hansen clenched her teeth, she didn’t look at Julian Lawson, her mind raced, trying to come up with a plan.

The setting sun slanted into the hospital room.

Soon, the door was knocked.

Jude Chaucer walked in with a doctor.

"President Lawson, the results are out," Jude Chaucer said, then looked at the doctor, giving a signal.

The two entered, Jude Chaucer closed the door.

The click made Vera Hansen snap back to reality.

She looked at the doctor fearfully.

What should she do?

Vera Hansen panicked.

She cried to Julian Lawson, "Brother Julian, please believe me, don’t listen to the doctor, is that alright?"

But Julian Lawson just looked at her.

"Speak," Julian Lawson said to the doctor.

The doctor nodded and brought over the examination results.

"According to our..." the doctor began.

"The final result is, Miss Vera Hansen does not have stomach cancer."

Finally, the doctor gave Vera Hansen the final conclusion.

The doctor was also nervous, he had heard about today’s live broadcast.

Previously, the commotion between Vera Hansen and Serena was well-known, but now it’s revealed, Vera Hansen wasn’t sick at all!

So Julian Lawson...

Wasn’t he just strung along like a fool?

"Understood," Julian Lawson said, his voice calm, "You may leave; I have something to say to her."

"Yes," Jude Chaucer replied, promptly leaving with the doctor and closing the door.

Only Julian Lawson and Vera Hansen remained in the room.

Vera Hansen was still making her last struggle.

She cried, "Brother Julian, they must be colluding."

Julian Lawson moved to Vera Hansen’s side.

"Vera Hansen, even now, you still want to lie?" Julian Lawson said coldly.

His eyes were blood-red, filled with hate.

The more Vera Hansen struggled, the more she argued, the more foolish he felt.

"I don’t know, Brother Julian, I truly don’t know, I only know I have cancer!" Vera Hansen tried to excuse herself.

She said, "I was deceived too! I..."

"Vera Hansen!" Julian Lawson sternly rebuked.

The voice echoed throughout the hospital room.

"Are you still treating me like a fool?"

For this person, this absurd lie, he had inadvertently killed their child, harmed Serena so deeply!
