Capítulo 386: Chapter 378
Rainny White grabbed Carlos’s sleeve, her voice trembling uncontrollably: “Brother Carter, please help ! I really didn’t an it. I can’t go to the police station; my son is still so small, he can’t go without my care!”
“If you are truly innocent, the police station will not wrong you.” Carlos replied with an indifferent expression, gently withdrew his sleeve from her grip without a hint of emotion in his tone.
Seeing this, Rainny turned to Evan Palr with pleading eyes: “President Palr, you have to help ! About the dicine…”
Evan Palr shot her a quick glance, indicating with his eyes that she should not speak recklessly. Then he softened his tone to reassure her: “You don’t need to worry. Since you’re innocent, just cooperate with the investigation and you’ll be out quickly.”
No sooner had he finished speaking did the sound of police footsteps echo from the hallway. Since Sterling Research Institute had already reported the case in Zylos, Rainny had no way to defend herself and was taken away by the officers to assist in the investigation. Before leaving, she still unwillingly glanced in Carlos’s direction.
“What a nuisance! Nothing good ever cos from involving you!” Old Lady Carter fud as she watched Rainny’s departing figure, tapping her cane on the ground with a thumping sound, though the resentnt in her voice was subtly directed at Emily Parker. All of a sudden, she changed her tone, speaking with determination, “There is definitely sothing wrong with Love & Kindness Hospital. The Old Master can no longer stay here; he must be brought back ho for care!”
“I’ll arrange for dad to be brought back to the manor right away.” Mrs. Carter sighed in relief. Although the announcent from Sterling Research Institute exposed a dication crisis, it also gave her hope — since they were researching this kind of neurological drug, perhaps Grandpa’s illness still had a chance for a turnaround.
“No need for the manor, bring him to my place.” Old Lady Carter snorted coldly, her voice brooking no dissent, “You haven’t managed your own household affairs well in years, how can you take proper care of the Old Master? I’ll handle this myself.” She had been living in Zylos for years, and the old house she bought downtown was thanks to Evan Palr’s ticulous care, much more attentive than Mrs. Carter herself, her biological daughter.
“This…” Mrs. Carter looked troubled as she gently reminded her, “Mom, you’re getting older, and your health isn’t the best either. Let take care of him. I can hire professional dical staff to visit, ensuring dad receives proper care.”
“No need for your input!” Old Lady Carter left no room for negotiation, “My residence is quiet, better suited for a patient’s recovery.”
Mrs. Carter looked at her mother’s stubborn expression, knowing further persuasion was futile, thus she compromised: “Alright then. But I’ll have to send two healthcare workers over to help, so as to monitor dad’s condition at all tis.”
Upon exiting the main door of Love & Kindness Hospital, Maria Carter couldn’t help but complain to Emily Parker: “Grandma is really sothing! Evan Palr was already targeting my mom so blatantly, yet she’s still defending him at every turn. I really suspect he’s cast so kind of spell on her!”
Mrs. Carter, following them and listening to her daughter’s words, let out a helpless smile: “You know your grandma’s temper; I’ve grown used to it over the years.” If she didn’t know she was the biological daughter, she would suspect Evan Palr was the “son” her mother really favored.
“Emily, it’s once again thanks to you, you’ve been a big help to the Carter Family.” Mrs. Carter stepped forward, tightly holding Emily Parker’s hand, her eyes filled with sincere gratitude, “You and your mother have practically saved all of us in the Carter Family; I don’t even know how to thank you enough.”
Emily shook her head gently, her tone soft: “Mrs. Carter, you’re too kind. If anyone deserves thanks, it’s who should thank you for watching over Eve.”
As she spoke, she couldn’t help but glance back discreetly—Carlos was holding Little Eve, listening intently as the little one chattered away, the setting sun casting a rare, gentle light over father and daughter.
