Chapter 55 Russell Is a Hopeless Romantic
The door of the ward was pushed open, and Zoey originally thought it was a nurse coming to deliver the bill from last night. Unexpectedly, two unexpected guests arrived.
Jordan and Dahlia.
Because there was no surveillance in the villa, how the old man entered the basement can only be relied upon the testimony of the servant at present.
Just last night, two servants confessed that the reason the old. man was in the basement was because he didn’t want to leave with Zoey!
But as soon as she opened her mouth, it was all about maintaining Zoey’s image and she couldn’t speak the truth.
Zoey found it amusing that they were so confident and fearless, thinking that their grandfather would protect them. After all, family matters should not be made public, or perhaps they thought their grandfather would never wake up.
She coldly asked, “What are you here for?”
Jordan looked around the ward and there was no sign of Russell.
He snorted coldly and said in a harsh tone, “Of course, it was to visit my father!”
Dahlia stared at Zoey and said, “Yes! It’s because you insisted

on him leaving, and he wanted to stay with the Harmon family, that he hid himself in the basement!”
Zoey was mocked shamelessly by these two individuals, “Stay in the Harmon family? Stay in the Harmon family for what? To watch over you unruly descendants?”
Jordan’s face turned pale. “Zoey, even if you don’t admit it, you are still our daughter! How could you disrespect your elders and say such rebellious words? Do you know how much the company’s stocks have fallen in the past few days? Since you returned to the country, there hasn’t been a single peaceful day! Especially last night, you called the police claiming that
Grandfather was kidnapped, but he was eventually found inside the villa. Isn’t this making a mockery of us in front of outsiders? Because of this incident, the Harmon family has become a laughingstock among the upper class. All of this is because of you!”
Zoey understood the purpose of these two people, which was nothing more than wanting to see how her grandfather was doing. When would he wake up? How would he explain what happened last night? Where was the genuine concern for her grandfather’s physical condition?
If it was true concern, how could last night’s incident have happened?
Zoey squinted her eyes and said, ‘It doesn’t matter what you say now. When Grandpa wakes up, he will naturally know what happened. If he was forced, none of you will escape the blame! I will personally send you all to jail!
Jordan glanced at the person on the hospital bed, his eyes devoid of any warmth. He pointed at Zoey and said, “If anything

happens to the old man, Zoey, it’s all your fault! Dahlia, let’s go!”
The two of them turned around and left the ward. After they entered the elevator, they finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Dahlia asked in a low voice, “Did the old man really have a brain injury?”
Jordan nodded, “What my classmate heard with his own ears, can’t be wrong. Just look at Zoey’s angry expression earlier, it clearly indicates that the old man’s health is really deteriorating. I hope he doesn’t remember the incident of the servant forcefully taking him into the basement.”
Dahlia furrowed her brow, “What if he remembered?”
Jordan clenched his teeth and said, “That depends on whether he cherishes our father–son relationship or not.”
Dahlia held onto the man’s arm and said, “Honey, what if your father disregarded the bond between you two? What would we do then?”
Jordan pursed his lips tightly, he didn’t say anything, but it seemed like he had made some ruthless decision in his mind.
In the ward.
Zoey sat by the hospital bed, holding the old man’s hand, her voice choked, “Grandpa, I’m sorry I didn’t protect you well.”
In the past, when Zoey cried, her grandfather would always. reach out and rub her little head, telling her to be strong and that there was nothing difficult in the world as long as she faced it bravely.

This time, however, Grandfather did not open his eyes.
Mild brain injury would lead to a decline in memory or cognitive function, a decrease in understanding and communication abilities, and even the possibility of dementia.
This situation was irreversible, and Zoey was also helpless, even her master couldn’t find a solution.
“Grandfather…”
When Russell came to deliver her meal, he saw her swollen
eyes.
He reached out and gently stroked her little face, “Did you cry?”
Zoey nodded.
“Come here.”
Russell pulled the person over and sat them on his lap,
embracing them and gently patting their thin back. “Don’t worry, Grandpa will wake up, and there won’t be any of the aftereffects you’re imagining. Don’t overthink it, everything is progressing in a positive direction…”
“Um.”
Russell listened to the steady sound of the girl’s breathing on his shoulder, and his body completely relaxed. He knew Zoey had fallen asleep.
He adjusted her posture, allowing her head to rest in the crook of his arm, as if cradling a baby.
Looking at the peaceful little face in my arms, the long

eyelashes were still stained with teardrops, and the tip of the nose was also turning red, looking very aggrieved.
Russell was extremely heartbroken.
At this moment, Troy pushed the door open and what he saw was Russell holding Zoey in his arms, causing him to immediately lower his head.
“Anything wrong?”
Troy said, “Mr. Russell, there was a contract meeting scheduled with Ramos Company at 8:30.”
Russell didn’t even think about it and said, “I’ll push everything today to tomorrow.”
Troy nodded, “Yes.”
He silently withdrew, sighing in his heart, Mr. Russell also had a day of being love–struck, truly amazing.
If he knew that the past Russell would die for Zoey, his expression at this moment would probably be one with his mouth wide open, big enough to fit a steamed bun.
Zoey woke up near noon and as soon as she opened her eyes, she saw the handsome face of a man.
Their eyes met, and Zoey sat up. “Did I fall asleep?”
“Well, he snored too.”
Zoey furrowed her brows, “Really? But I never snored while sleeping.”

Russell chuckled lightly.
Zoey only then realized that Russell was teasing her.
She hummed lightly and glared at him, “Annoying!”
Russell’s lips curved into a beautiful arc, “To please you, I could watch it a hundred times and never get tired.”
“When did you become so good at being sarcastic?” Zoey muttered under her breath. “By the way, is your arm numb?”
“Fortunately.”
“I’ll give you a massage,” Zoey said as she massaged him, “Your eyes are bloodshot, did you not sleep well last night?”
Russell sighed lightly, “I couldn’t sleep without you. Tonight, you come home and let Troy stay here.”
“Let me do it.”
“Be good and obedient. In this situation, it’s hard to say when Grandpa will wake up. It’s not possible for one person to endure it.” Russell tucked her hair behind her ear.
Zoey obediently nodded, “I understood.”
Russell asked, “Are you hungry? I brought porridge for you.”
“Okay, it’s noon, let’s eat together”
Russell smiled and said okay.
In the evening, Troy stayed in the ward guarding the old man, and two bodyguards were arranged at the door.

Zoey took Russell back to Serene Manor.
The two of them went back to their respective bedrooms and took a shower.
Zoey finished washing up and tidying herself before heading to Carolyn’s bedroom. She examined Carolyn’s pulse and noticed that the girl’s pulse was becoming clearer and clearer. She would wake up in a few days.
At this moment, the door was gently pushed open, and a figure walked in.
