Today, Eleanor has temporarily returned to the medical school to handle some matters and isn’t in the hospital. In Estelle’s hospital room, a nurse is performing routine checks.
Caleb Faulkner quietly sneaks in immediately.
The nurse isn’t surprised to see Caleb; after all, she recognizes the face of the Faulkner family’s young master.
"Young Master Faulkner, are you here to see the patient?"
The nurse smiles, tidies up her things, and says, "Alright, I’ll take my leave."
Instantly, the room is left with only Caleb and Estelle.
Caleb looks at the lying Estelle and takes out a pill, feeding it to him.
After a while, he notices Estelle’s eyeballs move a bit, but he doesn’t open his eyes.
Caleb smacks him on the head.
Estelle lets out an "Ouch!"
You’re awake, get up! Why are you still pretending?
Estelle stealthily opens his eyes, scans his surroundings, and lets out a sigh of relief seeing there’s only Caleb.
He climbs up from the hospital bed. "Wow, Caleb, how long have I been lying here? How’s our plan? Did it succeed?"
Upon hearing Estelle mention the plan, Caleb looks helpless. The source of thɪs content is novel_fіre.net
Having the nerve to talk about the plan, he’s turned into a fool for it!
Estelle goes on talking to himself for quite a while, but doesn’t hear Caleb respond. Feeling suspicious, he asks, "What’s up with you? Why aren’t you talking? Gone dumb?"
Hearing Estelle say ’gone dumb,’ Caleb can’t help but roll his eyes.
He’s sacrificed too much for Alaric and Eleanor.
Caleb takes out his phone, rapidly types a long message, then hands it to Estelle.
Estelle reads the message and stares wide-eyed in shock.
"Holy crap! Have you really gone dumb?"
In the corner of the hospital’s small garden, three people are squatting and discussing secret matters.
"So, that’s the situation now." Estelle says with a face full of frustration.
Liam strokes his chin, looks at Caleb, and says, "The situation you described is indeed frustrating."
Estelle looks at Caleb, asking, "So it’s really Faye’s doing, right?"
Caleb nods frantically.
"I never imagined so much would happen while I was unconscious. Caleb, you’ve had a tough time!" Estelle pats his shoulder.
Seeing Estelle, Caleb lets out a sigh of relief, knowing he’s no longer fighting alone!
The three fall into silence for a moment.
Estelle speaks again, "You mean you told Hades that Faye isn’t your real mom, but he didn’t believe it?"
Nearly drove him mad; if he weren’t fond of this dad, he’d just toss him aside.
Estelle ponders for a moment, "Caleb, that woman was able to harm you once, definitely can do it again. To make Hades believe, you must let her strike again!"
Caleb nods, gazing intently at Estelle, eyes shining with ’What’s the next step?’
"Ahem, you temporarily treat her as your mom, and we wait for her to make a move, then catch her in one swoop!"
Liam interrupts, "You two young masters better not play with these dangerous games again. This time I covered for you with Sally, nearly got caught."
Estelle snorts, "Serves you right for not managing our paternity test well last time.
Now Sister Eleanor knows we aren’t Hades’ kids, that’s why she doesn’t stay with him, blame you, entirely your fault!"
"Alright, it’s my fault." Liam says helplessly, spreading his hands.
Why is he so miserable, not only being enslaved by Eleanor but also threatened by her sons, both being his masters.
