Novel Full Chapter 352 - Hospital (2)
"Edward was in an accident, he's in critical condition now and has been taken to the hospital. You'd better visit him there. I'm really worried about him."
Brian froze hearing that "An accident? How did you know?"
"Marlin was also involved in the accident, Brian. And he asked his men to report the incident to me," replied Edrick with a deep breath.
"Go away, I can't leave Dad here alone. Call Marlin and ask him, which hospital to take them to," he added.
"If you can, separate Edward and the woman he's always been with. Don't let them run into each other."
Hearing that, Brian was silent for a moment as if he was contemplating something. "Okay, don't worry," he said after a few seconds of silence.
Edrick nodded in agreement.

It was now evening, the orange light was spreading and filling the horizon.
Atmadja and Aaron have just returned from the police station. They are currently in the hospital.
While Devan and his future wife, the two figures are now in the ICU, sitting next to their son while looking at him sadly.
As for Leo and Naila, they visited the room where Grandma was being treated.
The old woman couldn't stay where she was when she heard all the things Leo had to say.
"I'm fine, Leo. I want to go see my grandson," Grandma told Leo. Right now she was still lying on the gurney.
"You'll meet him later, Grandma. Now rest, the doctor won't let you go anywhere. Don't worry, Aunt Seira, Devan, and Claire are there and accompany him," Leo said.
Mrs. Raina pouted at Leo's words. She then moved to the left and turned his back on Leo.
The man looked at Naila for a moment, flashing a faint smile.
Right at night, only Devan Claire was left. Mr. Atmadja and his wife said goodbye to go home to pick up some necessities that might be needed by Mother, her son, and others. The same was done by Mr. Aaron.
Not long after they left, Dave's blood test results came out. Turns out the boy had a drug overdose.
After seeing the results of his son's blood test, Devan was even more furious.
"Why is she so mean to me?" mumbled Claire.
"Dave doesn't have any faults, he's a clueless little kid. Why did Byanca have the heart to torture Dave like this? If she doesn't like me, she should be dealing with me, not my son."
Devan turned to Claire, "Neither you nor Dave, you guys shouldn't be hurt in the slightest. I will punish those who dare to do bad things to you two. Take it easy, honey. Byanca will receive a reward for this action," Devan replied and hugged the woman. He tried to provide comfort and calm.
"Don't worry, Uncle Atmadja and Mr. Aaron have already taken care of this. After this, I guarantee that Byanca will never appear again anywhere," suddenly Leo came along with Naila.
They walked over to Devan and Claire who were on chairs lined up in the corridor.
"You don't have to intervene and get your hands dirty, Devan. Everything has been taken care of by Uncle," added Leo again while patting his cousin's shoulder.
"Where are you guys from?" asked Claire, slowly removing Devan's embrace from her body.
"I'm from Grandma's room, Claire."
"How is the condition, is it better than before?"
"She always asks how you are and Dave. She wants to visit her grandson but I forbid her, hahaha," Leo said with a small laugh.
"Besides, the doctor said that Grandma was tired," he added.
Hearing that, Devan and Claire were silent.
"You two better go home first, take a shower, change clothes, for dinner. Let me and Leo take care of Dave here," Naila said.
"Don't refuse, you two must also pay attention to your health," she added.
"What Naila said is true. We will take turns looking after Dave here," Leo said confirming the girl next to him.
"Okay, then Claire and I go home first. If something happens, call me immediately," said Devan. Claire just nodded and obeyed the man's words.

At another place.
Marlin who was lying on the gurney was startled by the sound of his cell phone suddenly rings.
Turns out it was Mr. Brian.
After receiving treatment from the doctor, he fell asleep and only woke up now.
He immediately grabbed the flat-shaped object, it turned out that Mr. Brian had been calling him since earlier. How could he not hear his phone ring at all?
"Hello, sir. I'm sorry for just answering your call," said Marlin first.
"Tell me, which hospital are you in now?" Brian asked straight to the point.
Marlin then told the man the address of the hospital he was currently in.
"Okay, are Edward and Byanca there too?"
"Yes, sir."
"How is my brother now?" Brian asked again.
Marlin choked, he didn't know what to say to the man.
"Do you hear me? I'm asking you," Brian said again from across the phone.
"A-ah... I'm sorry, sir. About Mr. Edward, maybe you should see him for yourself. I don't know how to explain the situation, sir," Marlin stuttered slightly.
"Why do you say that? Is Edward's condition that bad?" Brian asked.
"You'd better come and see for yourself, sir," replied Marlin still with the same answer.
A ragged sigh came from the other end of the phone.
"Okay, ah yes, don't let Byanca and Edward's room close together. Either way, you have to separate them, ok?"
"O-Okay, sir. You don't have to worry about that," said Marlin, his face looking very pale. To be honest, he felt guilty for what happened to Mr. Edward.
After that, the phone line was disconnected.
Marlin slowly got off the gurney, the man wanted to visit the room where Byanca was.
He and other accident victims arrived at the hospital at the same time, Miss Byanca immediately underwent surgery, while Mr. Edward. There was nothing the doctors could do for the man but take him to the morgue. Not only Mr. Edward, but several other accident victims experienced the same thing.
Marlin was the only one with minor injuries.
Marlin rubbed his face roughly, his facial expression looked very depressed.
As the one who planned to ambush Mr.. Edward's car, Marlin felt very guilty.
