Chapter 1398 - 1397: Owen Lewis Awakens
Maxwell Peary directly rejected Yancy Hastings’ suggestion, saying there’s no need for investigation.
This situation is just as it appears on the surface.
"Leon Blackwood has done this kind of thing before."
Last time, he almost burned Molly Harguez alive; this time, he directly put Owen Lewis in this situation.
Leon Blackwood’s intentions might not be as straightforward as they seem.
But then, why did he help Nia Mitchell once before?
Maxwell Peary was instantly puzzled.
This matter seems to be getting increasingly complex.
"Lewis is probably waking up soon; let’s go check on him first."
With that, Maxwell Peary and Yancy Hastings headed to the Hospital.
...
In the Hospital, Owen Lewis indeed regained consciousness.
Seeing Annie Davidson sitting pale-faced at his bedside, he managed a faint smile.
"What’s there to smile about? Just look at you now."
How he could smile, who knows? Doesn’t he feel pain?
Looking at him like this, Annie Davidson wished she could slap him.
But...
She can’t!
"When I opened my eyes and saw you, it felt good."
Owen Lewis looked weakly at Annie Davidson, his lips cracked, yet his words brought tears to her eyes.
Listening to him say these things, Annie Davidson was filled with anger.
"If you can still say such things, it looks like you won’t die."
With that, Annie Davidson turned to leave.
Unexpectedly, before she reached the door, she saw Maxwell Peary and Yancy Hastings approaching.
Oh...
Unable to avoid it, Annie Davidson showed a hint of embarrassment and turned back to the ward.
"Owen Lewis woke up?"
Yancy Hastings walked over, seeing Owen Lewis looking weak but awake.
"Do you know who did it?"
Maxwell Peary asked Owen Lewis.
Owen Lewis shook his head.
"I was in my room, and when I realized the commotion outside, many people had already come in. The scene was very chaotic."
Maxwell Peary furrowed his brow.
"Just now, Hastings went to the Black Market and was attacked again. Has there been any unusual activity in the Black Market these days?"
Upon hearing this, Owen Lewis frowned.
He knows the Black Market dealings best, and there hasn’t been anything special these days.
"No."
He’s sure there’s nothing.
"Then, this is purely targeted."
If it’s Leon Blackwood’s doing, then there’s definitely a possibility.
...
Nia Mitchell only found out about Owen Lewis getting injured after calling Maxwell Peary.
Coincidentally, Ethan Martinez’s schedule was already over, so she finished work early.
Upon arriving at the Hospital, she saw Maxwell Peary standing not far from the elevator.
"Uncle!"
She didn’t expect him to come for her.
"Yeah."
Maxwell Peary was visibly not in his usual mood.
Nia Mitchell noticed it too, only reaching out a small hand to hold the CEO’s hand, and they walked hand in hand to the ward.
"Tonight, go home early; I might not be coming back."
Maxwell Peary whispered to her.
Hearing this, Nia Mitchell dutifully nodded without saying anything.
"Have dinner at the Villa, and don’t eat too much fruit, okay?"
"Okay."
Seeing Nia Mitchell being so obedient, Maxwell Peary lowered his head to kiss her forehead.
"Uncle."
Nia Mitchell wrapped her arms around Maxwell Peary’s waist, wanting to give him strength.
