Marissa opened her eyes to find that half of her body was numb, and her mouth was crooked. In short, she lost control of half of her body.
Gazing at her husband, who sat there in a daze, a fine trickle of drool leaked from the corner of her mouth.
Jenna swiftly took a tissue paper to wipe it off.
Marissa had been iron-willed all her life. She didn't expect herself to end up like this. She blinked her eyes and burst into tears. She wanted to say something, but failed to utter even a single word. She began weeping like a little child.
Jenna quickly said, "Mom, don't cry. The doctor said that it's a stroke, and acupuncture will cure it."
Marissa shook her head in disbelief. How could a mere stroke make her lose control of half of her body?
Jenna was also distressed and couldn't help but shed tears. Seeing her shedding tears, Marissa sobbed harder.
Trevor lifted his hand to wipe away Marissa's tears. "Don't cry. The bad guys haven't died yet, it's not the time for crying!"
Marissa opened her mouth, trying to reply, but to no avail. She could only weep while she stared at Trevor.
Trevor let out a long sigh and swallowed the tears that were about to pour out. "All of this is because of what the Doyle family did twenty years ago. I won't let it off."
Marissa stared into space. Then she slowly turned her face and looked around. After a long time, she began to sob again.
Hansen sat by the side, watching his family. He could not help but feel dejected.
This was what Raeleigh saw, but she wasn't there to visit Marissa. She was there for Santiago.
She sat down and wiped his hands. The gauze on Santiago's head had already been removed. Raeleigh brought a pair of scissors to cut his hair.
After that, she stood up and left.
Hansen sat there in a daze while Jenna was sitting morosely beside him.
The next morning, news about the Doyle family was published on international websites. Stella was lost in thought when she saw the news on the Internet.
At this time, the Doyle family was also checking the websites. Interpol officers had placed them under investigation.
A lot of negative news was circulating. Each published crime was sufficient to slap the Doyle family with a lawsuit or send them to jail.
When Geraldine heard the servant say that Interpol officers were investigating them, she raised her head and was visibly displeased. "Stella is too willful. It's just a trivial matter, yet she's so impatient. What a disappointing child."
Somebody got up and asked, "What do you think we should do?"
"Humph, what else can we do? You are the head of the Doyle family. Now that your daughter has gotten us into trouble. What do you think we should do?"
Geraldine was an iron- fisted lady, just like a despotic ruler. She was impartial and would not be flustered by anyone. She would deal with every problem ruthlessly.
In her mind, those who caused trouble should shoulder the blame.
Stella's father was slightly taken aback. It didn't occur to him that his mother would be so merciless.
Nevertheless, he did not dare to complain. He was well aware that his mother would not spare him if he made an unwise decision.
"I see."
Turning around, he went to the door and opened it. There was a man standing outside.
Lenold raised his hand to show his badge to Stella's father while saying, "I'm Lenold Matthews from Interpol. I'm here to investigate a case. I hope you can cooperate with the investigation."
"Please come in."
