Janet had no choice but to rush to Seacisco with Ethan. While she was worried about Laney, Nora's health was more important.
On the plane back to Seacisco, Janet pondered over the situation.
"At your grandmother's birthday party last year, she looked radiant and energetic. How could her health have declined so quickly?" As Janet thought about the warm old lady, she couldn't help but feel sorry for her.
Although they hadn't talked often, she could tell that Nora was the most sensible Lester.
Ethan loosened his tie and leaned back in his seat. He held Janet's hand and closed his eyes wearily. "She's getting old. It's normal for old people to get sick. Besides, the Lester family has been facing a lot of problems recently, which couldn't have been good for her health."
Janet nodded. Leaning against his shoulder, her eyelids gradually grew heavy. She had been so busy looking after the drunk Laney through the night that she didn't get to sleep much.
Hearing the sound of her steadied breathing, Ethan opened his eyes and looked out the window.
Recently, the business world in Seacisco had gone into turmoil because Ethan had been openly attacking the Lester Group's businesses. Joining hands with the Whites had doubled the strength of the Larson Group. Not even Patrick's, Seth's, and Ritchie's combined strength could fight against them.
Moreover, the news that Elissa was a coldblooded murderer had spread like wildfire, which had damaged the reputation of the Lester family. It didn't take long before the share price of their company to plummet.
Ethan was only worried about how he'd explain all this to Nora.
In the Lester family home, after waiting for a long time, Patrick finally heard the sound of a car pulling to a stop outside.
Soon, Ethan strode inside the house hand-in-hand with Janet. Patrick stood up and went straight to the stairs, gesturing at them to follow. "Your Grandma has been waiting for you for a long time."
Ethan followed Patrick up the stairs. When they were about to reach Nora's room, Patrick suddenly stopped and turned to warn his son seriously. "Don't say anything that you shouldn't say in front of her. Your Grandma's health has been rapidly declining. We haven't even told her what you've been doing to us."
