The Billionaire Who Stole My Heart novel Chapter 990

The moment Graham entered the hospital room, skepticism clouded his thoughts. It seemed too convenient for the Lynettes to claim innocence, to skirt the wrath of the Tanners. But as Yuri, with empathetic eyes, presented a stack of medical files, Graham's doubts began to waver.

"Mr. Tanner," Yuri started, his voice carrying the weight of a father guarding his wounded cub, "it's true. Brittany has amnesia. The head injury from the assault, followed by surgery... there's been pressure on her brain nerves. She remembers nothing."

Graham, though reluctant, pored over the documents: hospital admissions, surgery notes, recovery updates, and detailed reports. They told the story of Brittany's fight for life, a story that, despite his reservations, Graham couldn't ignore.

Yuri's voice softened, a rare display of vulnerability. "Mr. Tanner, I understand your grief, but as her father, I couldn't bear having Brittany learn of her husband's passing while she's fighting for her own life."

Yuri devoted all the gentleness he possessed in his life to Julie and Brittany. This was the first time he let go of his pride, saying, "Mr. Tanner, please understand me."

After reviewing all the documents, Graham could tell that Yuri was indeed telling the truth. The evidence was undeniable. The CCTVs had caught the brutal attack, showing the swing of the metal pipe against Brittany’s skull. The fact that she was alive at all was nothing short of a miracle.

Closing the file, Graham's voice was steady. "All I ask is that she attends Zac's funeral. He was good to her; she should be there."

"I'll make sure she's there," Yuri assured him, his fatherly pragmatism still intact.

"And the child?" Graham knew of the boy, Zac's legacy. He had to take him back to Imperial City.

"That child is my grandson. He will be the heir to the Lynette family. He will have a good future staying with us," Yuri asserted, unwilling to relinquish the boy.

Graham shook his head decisively. "He's Zac's only kin left. He belongs in Imperial City."

"Mr. Tanner, he is also my daughter's child…"

"Your daughter is still alive. Won't she start a new life?" Graham refused to concede. "She still has a promising future ahead of her. I don't expect her to remain single forever, but I hope to continue Zac's lineage with us."

"But there's no one from the Salter family who can take care of him."

"Noel is now the mainstay of Grandeur Capital. If Daniel returns to Imperial City, who will look after him?" Yuri played his final card. "If he stays in Craneville, I will ensure he is well cared for. Bri is also his biological mother. Do you think she would mistreat him?"

Graham was at a loss for words.

Indeed, once Daniel returned to Imperial City, he would need to live with Noel. However, Noel was busy with work, and other members of the Salter family were unlikely to genuinely care for Daniel. By then, if Daniel was unhappy...
