There was a breeze in the hallway. Sensing the cold, Petra hurriedly said, "Go back to the ward. I'll ask the doctor if he can be discharged early or transferred to Whaldorf City. It's going to be National Day soon. Let's go home and celebrate together as a family."
I nodded. After watching her enter the doctor’s office, I got up and returned to the ward.
In the ward, Petra and Grayson were chatting. 1
I did not mean to eavesdrop. I had merely lifted my hand to push the door open when I heard Theo say," You really don't need to drive the Lynches into a corner."
"Mason and you share a friendship but not me. You can be merciful, but as a father, I can't." Grayson's voice was thick and mellow, tinged with anger.
Theo’s voice cooled down as well. "But there's no need to drive them into a corner, right?"
Grayson sneered. "When you worked with the Lynches to bring the Louises down back then, you did so with a goal to drive us into a corner, didn't you?”
I was a little puzzled. Did Theo attempt to bring the Louises down back then?
Theo sighed lightly. "That's all in the past now. Things
are different now. I think there’s no need to bring it up again.”
Grayson sneered softly before saying in a rather disdainful manner, "When you swapped my daughter's DNA report, you had already planned to make a move against the Louises, right? You got Mason to approach Petra to join forces to bring you down, then used the opportunity to fraudulently acquire Louis Corporations' information. You refused t o let my daughter reunite with us mainly because you were worried that my daughter would turn against you once you destroyed the Louises.”
I froze, my body growing a little stiff. I suddenly thought of the information Heidi once disclosed to me.
Mason and Petra had once joined forces for an extended period of time. However, Heidi disclosed to me that Mason and Petra were only joining forces in order to help Cindy win Theo.
Looking at the two men in the ward, I could not help but step back. They were both businessmen, and their schemes could send shivers down one's spine.
