The butler came in at this point.
To be honest, the butler had already received news of the police officers' impending arrival before they had even arrived. He had specially asked Joel whether he should let them in or not.
The Smith Manor wasn't a place that they could enter just because they wanted to!
Joel had agreed to it at that time and instructed the Smiths' bodyguards not to get into a conflict with them.
However, Ian and Joel couldn't be bothered to explain.
After mocking them about it, Karl took his bowl of dumplings and started digging in. He even said unceremoniously, "Get a room ready for me."
Ian looked at him frostily. "Are you even planning to take up permanent residence here?" "Of course." Karl said, "I am now employed, so I will have to work in New York from now on. What, are you guys going to drive me away? If so, then I'll be taking both my daughter and granddaughter with me."
Ian curled his lips disdainfully. "Would I be afraid of you?
I just think that it's too pitiful for you to live all by yourself! Fine, fine, stay here if that's what you want!"
Seeing the two of them bickering, Joel and Tanya looked at each other.
Earlier, Tanya had no father.
Ian had also given up on life and sought death.
But now, it seemed like everything was developing for the better...
Nora woke up after just 48 hours this time.
Firstly, it was because she had already made up more than thirty hours of her sleep debt previously. Secondly, it was because she had to go to the hospital to visit Quentin. Although the bone adhesion balm was great, it was necessary to reapply it every other week.
Moreover, she had to personally see to it because the application of the balm had to be accompanied by acupuncture.
When she stretched, she saw that both Cherry and Pete were also on her bed and taking a nap with her.
Everyone who should know about Cherry and Pete's identities was already aware by now, so Pete had cut his hair short while Cherry was slowly growing out her hair.
The two little fellows' mouths were slightly open, and they looked really cute asleep.
While she was looking at them, Pete suddenly opened his eyes.
Although his eyes still looked a little dazed, he quickly recovered. When he saw that she was awake, a touch of a smile formed on the little boy's face.
He rubbed his eyes and sat up. "Mommy, do you want a glass of water?"
Nora had been asleep for an extended period of time. Even though she had been injected with nutritional fluids, her throat was still parched and dry. She replied hoarsely, "Yeah."
Pete slipped off the bed at once. He was about to go out and pour her a glass of water when the door opened. Justin pushed the door open and walked in with a glass of water and a bowl of plain oatmeal. "I thought you might have woken up when I heard sounds coming from the room. Here, have some water and oatmeal."
Nora:
She thought of how she always saw the three of them right after she woke up during the last two times she fell comatose.
She felt a little touched.
Her cell phone beeped just as she finished the oatmeal. She picked it up to see that it was a message from Brenda.
The message she had sent a day ago was: "Johnson has been tried and sentenced to death. He will be executed immediately. Most of the money that Karl gave him over
the years has also been recovered, but there's nothing to be done about the portion that has been spent."
The message she had sent just now was: 'Are you awake?'
Nora replied: 'Yeah.'
Brenda called her at once.
When Nora answered, an agitated Brenda said, "Hurry over to the special department, Nora! Ruth has managed to get those people to talk after using the plans that Black Cat drew up! As it turns out, the mysterious organization really is related to your mother! The situation is very disadvantageous for you right now!"
Hearing this, Nora narrowed her eyes at once and said, "Okay, I'm on my way."
After hanging up the phone, Nora stroked Pete's head. Then, she looked at the sleeping Cherry and whispered, "Look after Cherry. Don't let her play games all day."
Pete nodded seriously and replied, "Okay."
Nora then got up, changed, and went out.
Justin drove her there.
Nora was in the passenger seat. On the way to the special department, she suddenly thought of Trueman. She opened her chat record with him and found that he still hadn't answered the question that she asked him the last time.
Nora asked again: 'Who plotted my pregnancy?'
The person who had managed to plot her pregnancy must also be capable of drugging Justin. This was definitely no simple person.
