Seeing a crowd gathered outside, the doctor removed his mask.
Nara and the others watched him anxiously.
The doctor slowly said, "We did our best to resuscitate the patient, and his life is no longer in danger, but whether he will wake up will depend on the next few days."
These words temporarily relieved the entire Gill family.
Nara's tears rolled down her face.
Behind the doctor, Austin was lying on the hospital bed, being slowly wheeled out with his eyes closed, still in a comatose state.
The crowd surrounded the bed as it was moved into the ICU, and after waiting outside for a moment, Lady Gill looked at Nara. "Barbara, your brother will be alright; don't worry."
Nara nodded. "I'm sure he'll be alright."
Just a moment ago, outside the operating room, everyone was anxious about Austin's condition, but now they finally breathed a sigh of relief.
At this point, they all realized something and were looking incredulously at Nara.
Feeling their gaze, Nara became flustered and subconsciously raised her hand, gesturing something while again speaking out loud, "Why are you all looking at me like this?"
As soon as she said this, she was stunned herself.
Lady Gill rushed over and took her hand, excited. "Nara, you spoke!"
Nara was taken aback.
Mr. Gill also said, "Yes, Nara, you've been talking since just now!"
Her other two brothers also immediately crowded around. "Nara, you can speak!"
"Is your throat okay?"
Nara became distraught and, for the moment, didn't know what to say.
Just then, a voice came from the side, "There's nothing physically wrong with Nara's vocal cords."
Everybody turned their heads to see that, after receiving the news, Matias had just arrived, now standing not too far away, looking at Nara. "When Nara was little, she had a fever and was frightened, which made her unable to speak. Over the years, I've taken her to see many doctors, and her vocal cords are fine."
The Gill family finally realized the situation.
Lady Gill said, "This is good news. This is so great! It's wonderful that you can speak!"
Nara, feeling embarrassed by the attention, lowered her head.
...
Keira and Lewis left the hospital.
Now that Austin had survived, both Nara and Keira felt relieved.
The Fox's scheming against the Gill family was ultimately because of Keira.
If Austin had indeed passed away, her debt to the Gill family would have increased.
The two of them left the building and headed home.
Along the way, Lewis said, "The matter with the Gill family should be settled now."
Now that Nara has acknowledged her family and unraveled her issue with the Gill family, given the relationship between Nara, Austin, and Keira, the Gill family will undoubtedly stand with Keira unconditionally, solidifying the partnership. Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
Keira nodded yet frowned. "But who is the Fox's next target?"
Lewis said, "The Allen family and the Freeman Sect should be alright; the key concerns are the Davis family and the Olsen family."
Keira immediately said, "We're too passive right now."
The Fox was hiding behind the scenes, never showing themselves, which made Keira feel the situation was both tricky and mysterious.
Lewis's eyebrows furrowed. "They're in Clance, so they're bound to slip up eventually. I've already asked Tom to investigate their address based on the information from Mrs. Spencer's chat log."
Keira nodded.
At that moment, her phone suddenly rang. She answered, and James's urgent voice came through. "Keera, can you come home? There's a bit of trouble here."
Keira immediately frowned. "Alright, I'm on my way."
After hanging up, she said, "To the Olsen's!"
Lewis immediately turned the car around. "The Fox has made a move against the Olsen family?"
"Seems like it."
Keira's chest tightened slightly.
The car quickly arrived at the Olsen residence, and after Keira and Lewis parked, they entered the living room.
As soon as they entered, they saw that the expressions of the family members were normal, which made Keira breathe a sigh of relief. She first looked at James. "James, did you call me back for something?"
James said, "Peter said he had something to announce and called us over, but he hasn't arrived yet. "
After that, James looked at her. "Where have you been these past few days?"
Keira lowered her gaze. "Nowhere special."
She looked around and asked, "Where's Dad?"
James pointed upstairs to the study, "Ellis has been so fixated on winning back his wife that he's neglected his work. The Olsen family's mess has once again fallen into the hands of Uncle Olsen."
Keira pursed her lips.
She and Lewis found a place to sit, and not long after, Peter drove back, with Susan following behind him, holding onto his arm, looking very demure and sensible.
When Keira saw Susan, her gaze slightly darkened.
James said, "Peter, you've brought us all over here. What do you actually want to do?"
Peter just smiled. "I've gathered everyone here today to announce something. I'm going to marry Susan!"
This statement made the entire living room fall silent all at once.
James was puzzled. "So soon?"
Then he glanced at Susan's stomach. "Are you showing already?"
The rest of the Olsen brothers and the elders also frowned.
Peter gave a wry smile, then said, "What are you talking about? It's not all that soon. I've known Susan for two years, and it's about time to talk about marriage."
After that, Peter looked toward his parents. "Mom, Dad, do I have your blessings?"
Peter's parents belong to the second branch of the Olsen family.
Mr. Olsen and his wife frowned slightly, not saying anything.
Peter then said, "Uncle has said before that our family doesn't do arranged marriages. We marry who we like, so you shouldn't look down on Susan's family background, right?"
Mr. Olsen immediately said, "What are you talking about? The Simpson family is also a notable family; how could we possibly look down on them?"
Peter laughed outright. "So, Dad, you agree, right? This makes things much easier..."
Mr. Olsen sighed in resignation. "Alright, you're grown up, and if you're determined and won't regret it, then we, as parents, won't stop you."
Peter immediately exchanged a look with Susan, both breaking into smiles.
Peter then looked at the others. "None of you have objections, right?"
The brothers all expressed their congratulations one after another.
Keira watched them, emotionless, and for a moment, didn't know what to say.
Knowing full well that Peter was about to be cuckolded, was she just supposed to sit back and remain silent?
...Forget it. She wouldn't be the unpopular one.
But her silence didn't stop others from addressing her.
Susan looked at her and asked, "Miss Olsen, what about you? You'll congratulate us, won't you?"
Keira was perplexed.
Peter also looked at her dumbly. "Yeah, little sister, I have your blessings, right?"
"…"
Keira's face tensed as she looked at Susan.
