Ezra Ford was angry, but ultimately he didn’t lose his temper and tried to persuade his son as gently as possible.

Even Ryan Ford, who was beside him, was montarily speechless.

Not because he particularly agreed with Ezra Ford’s comnts about Scarlett Shaw.

But because the old man’s unusually patient and sincere deanor today really made him see him in a different light.

Moreover, if Ezra Ford truly wanted to drive a wedge between Julian Ford and Scarlett Shaw and make Julian give up, it would have been easier to start with Serena Ford. After all, that kidnapping incident was the real beginning of all the tragedies.

But he even made so many explanations for the mistaken Serena Ford.

Ryan Ford was now caught in a brainstorming session, feeling a sense of irritated overload in his brain.

However, Julian Ford’s eyes were still clear.

He cast a calm glance at Ezra Ford, his dark eyes tranquil like water, which left Ezra montarily stunned, unable to fathom his son’s thoughts, feeling sowhat uneasy.

Julian Ford didn’t say anything more. Instead, he drew back his gaze and used the hand that wasn’t connected to an IV to pull open the first drawer of the bedside table.

Soon, a black card was placed on the table.

Julian Ford: "Did you give this to her?"

Ezra Ford’s pupils slightly dilated, his expression suddenly becoming deep and sharp, but he didn’t deny it.

"Take it back,"

Julian Ford said indifferently.

Ryan Ford’s already overloaded brain now beca even more confused, "Brother, did Scarlett leave this here? I heard from Josiah Sutton that she left right after your surgery, didn’t even return to the ward!"

"..."

Julian Ford: "Then she left it before the surgery."

But if she left it before the surgery, he hadn’t been able to notice it at that ti...

Julian Ford closed his eyes, the wound at the back of his head faintly aching. He could only force those suppressive emotions in his mind to disperse, not thinking about the "what ifs."

When he opened his eyes again, his expression remained calm and indifferent.

Yet, there was still so residual pain that hadn’t completely dissipated.

Ezra Ford noticed this detail, took the card, and then spoke many words of concern before taking Ryan Ford, who couldn’t keep his mouth shut, out of the ward, chastising him disdainfully outside:

"That question you asked earlier was unnecessary!"

Ryan Ford protested, "How was it unnecessary? Is it wrong for to ask questions?"

Ezra Ford sneered coldly, "I think you’re spending too much ti with won. Didn’t you think that your question might make your brother upset?!"

With words as clear as these, even a blockhead like Ryan could understand what Julian might be thinking.

He felt a bit embarrassed, mumbling as he changed the subject, "Well, I didn’t have as many won as you did."

Ezra Ford: "..."

Ryan Ford twisted his lips, half-jokingly and half-mockingly said, "Dad, all the Ford n, how co the two of us are so indecent, while my brother remains a devoted romantic?"

Ezra Ford glared at him, replying casually, "In that aspect, Julian takes after his mother."

"Then it’s over?!"

Ryan Ford’s heart imdiately skipped a beat!

"Dad, with Mom turning out the way she did, your nurous indiscretions played no small part! Now that Scarlett’s gone, my brother’s not going to crumble too, is he?"

Just as Ryan uttered the word "indiscretions," Ezra Ford gave him a hard knock on the head!

This foolish son, doesn’t he realize where they are right now?!

Doesn’t he understand that you shouldn’t air your dirty laundry in public?!

However, as coarse as Ryan’s words were, they weren’t without truth.

Ezra Ford also felt his heart sink a bit.

In their youth, Freya Pierce’s commitnt to their relationship was suffocatingly serious, almost like she had a psychological aversion to any impurity. Even if he just had a drink with a regular female client for business, once she found out, it would lead to a huge fuss and unrest.

When they were young and in love, this kind of possessiveness could be seen as the other person’s intense care for oneself.

But as ti went by, well, every man wants freedom, don’t they?

Ezra Ford unsurprisingly cheated, and as Freya Pierce was naturally a bit obsessive, experiencing a husband’s emotional betrayal, of course, she had beco the way she was!

Though Scarlett is now out of sight, from Ezra Ford’s perspective, leaving at such a ti is also a form of emotional betrayal, isn’t it?

Moreover, who knows if soday news will spread of Scarlett being married with children, and if his son’s illness hasn’t improved, getting a shock like that would just repeat his mother’s path?

The irony of fate is that the more you don’t want to beco a certain kind of person, the more you end up walking their path.

Ezra Ford had no choice but to take this situation seriously.

"By the way, Dad, since you know Serena Ford, do you also know what connection she has with my mom?"

At this mont, "mom" from Ryan Ford naturally referred to Nina Shawcross.

Ezra Ford snapped back to reality, giving him a sidelong glance.

Nina Shawcross and Serena Ford?

Weren’t they colleagues?

Back then, during the rescue operation of Julian Ford and his brother’s kidnapping case, Nina Shawcross was one of them.

However, considering they had been intimate before, which wasn’t exactly a glorious thing, naturally, they pretended not to know each other under those circumstances. After all, it was a fleeting romance, better left unsaid.

Moreover, a policeman had sacrificed his life during that rescue operation, and if Ezra Ford wasn’t mistaken, he was quite close with Nina Shawcross and probably her boyfriend.

Ryan Ford’s eager face, full of curiosity, was staring intently at Ezra Ford, wishing he could stare a hole through him.

Afraid of missing any clues.

But Ezra Ford thought for a mont and only said, "I don’t know much about your mom. I only slept with her a few tis, and I didn’t even know she was pregnant with you."

If he had known, would Ryan still be standing here?

He would have been terminated by this heartless father, Ezra Ford, before he was even born, waiting for his next life!

Unaware of having narrowly avoided a crisis, Ryan Ford was not satisfied with Ezra Ford’s answer and wanted to ask more questions, but Ezra maintained a cool composure, giving no opportunity.

"Your brother has dismissed the nurse, and since you never have anything proper to do, you might as well take care of him during this ti."

With these words, Ezra Ford lifted his leg and left.

What he urgently needed to find out was how Freya Pierce got hold of that recording.

The room at that ti was sealed, with only him and Scarlett Shaw inside, and Scarlett was checked before brought in, carrying no surveillance equipnt.

Who would deliberately instigate such a thing?
