"Forget it. You're no VIP, so who would bring Grant Corporation down because of you? They would be offending Theo. In Salt City, that’s a name that can induce fear in anyone who hears it!" Cecilia refused to believe me.
Cecilia did not know the reason for it, nor did I have the energy and time to explain it to her.
I had doubts in my mind. Xander said that Grayson and Petra were in the ICU as well. Would they really take things this far for their daughter? Even to the point of putting their lives at stake?
Perhaps the scene at the hospital was also part of their schemes?
At the thought of this, I pulled out my phone to give Xander a call.
The call was answered after two rings. "How are you, Wandy? Are you safe now?"
Xander asked anxiously, his voice slightly weary. However, he still remained concerned about me, which made me slightly moved.
"I'm okay. I'm safe." I got up and stood on the balcony, looking at the traffic below. I said, "How are things on your side? How's your mother and the rest?"
"It’s still the same. The three of them have not woken u p yet after the surgery. They’re all in the ICU. The doctor will have to observe them for a few more days t o know the result."
After hearing what Xander said, I grew even more suspicious. They were in the ICU. It seemed that they had genuinely gotten injured in the car crash.
I could not help but think of Mason and Zedd. I asked," Are you in the hospital alone? Have you seen Mason and Zedd?"
It was strange that they had not shown up when something this major was happening to the company. Although I was aware of their close relationship, Theo was in the ICU and did not need to be taken care of all the time. Hence, it was unlikely they would be occupied all the time.
"Mason is taking care of them inside. Zedd went back t o Salt City today. Don’t worry about Grant Corporation. Take care of yourself. Don't leave the house."
"Okay, got it. You take care."
After hanging up the call, my head hurt even more. Their behaviors were unusual but I could not figure out why. The business field was like a battlefield.
