I’m Someone Else

Chapter 212

As Leah watched her son and granddaughter leave, she felt a piercing pain in her heart. She wanted to call out to them and stop them from leaving, but when the words arrived at her lips, she didn’t know how to speak up. She could only watch as they walked away.

“Evil creatures, look what you’ve done!” Leah shouted at her grandchildren.

At that moment, a fierce aura exploded from her. The young man and woman couldn’t stand it, and with a plop, they all fell to the ground.

“What do you take this place for? Even though this place isn’t as bustling as Capitalis and other overseas cities, it’s not a place where you two can just do as you wish!”

Leah was considered half an Irieson resident, so she knew Irieson more than anyone else. While it was true that the economic development in Irieson wasn’t as advanced as that of Capitalis and other overseas cities, it was a valuable land and also the gathering place for all the families in Droycore. There were various powerful families involved, and even Quincy, the head of Prescott Hospital, was an outstanding figure known throughout Droycore. His students were everywhere, both locally and internationally. He wasn’t someone to be messed with.

Leah’s grandson and granddaughter were geniuses in martial arts, the sort that would come by every hundred years or so. They were very young, but their capabilities were already out of this world. Even experts who were well-known for a long time might not be a match for them. Because of this, the two were greatly pampered in the family.

Leah had the intention to punish them harshly, but she couldn’t bear to do it. “Go and buy plane tickets right now and get your sorry butts out of this country! You’re a disgrace to me in Irieson!”

When the young girl heard that, she immediately pouted her little mouth. “Grandma, stop chasing us out of this country. We’ll just return to Capitalis, okay?”

Capitalis was the headquarters of their family. Because of this, Leah could take good care of Declan’s business in Capitalis. The two lived overseas in the past just so they could keep Leah company.

“Go back to Capitalis, then!”

Leah couldn’t bear to chase her grandchildren out of this country either, so she could only settle for the second-best option and let them return to Capitalis.

The two were glad enough to know that they could return to Capitalis. They hastily turned around and left.

Their grandmother rarely got angry, but as soon as she did, even their grandfather had to take cover from her wrath. Who were they in comparison? They should just be obedient and leave as they were told.

After her grandchildren left, Leah returned to her room and put on some decent clothes. Her grandson had punched an indent into Declan’s chest, so she had to rush over and check on him.

Meanwhile, Ophelie drove the car as she hurriedly sent Declan to Prescott Hospital.

“Hello, Olivia?” Ophelie dialed her sister’s number, then sobbed pitifully.

“What happened, Ophelie? Don’t cry, tell me what happened.” Olivia had just finished dinner, and she was sitting on the couch watching TV. When she heard her sister’s sobbing voice, she instantly got worried.

“Someone injured Uncle Declan. We’re rushing to the hospital now.”

“What?!” Olivia was so shocked that her mouth fell open. Is Declan hurt? He was fine when I last saw him, though. Who did it?

“I’ll be right there!” With that, she hung up the phone and went to the kitchen. She walked up to Thomas, who was preparing the medicine, and said, “Thomas, someone injured my Uncle Declan, so I’m going to the hospital now.”

Thomas was stunned. He didn’t do anything to Declan, so why did Declan get hurt?

Seeing how anxious Olivia was, Thomas knew it wasn’t the time to be asking such questions. He hastily put on a coat as he followed Olivia out of the house.

In the emergency room at the hospital, Quincy was carrying out treatment on Declan. His medical skills had improved significantly, and when he thought about it, it was mostly thanks to ‘The Imperial Acupuncture’ Thomas had given him. Now, it was a piece of cake for him to treat wounds like this.

More than 20 minutes later, the treatment was complete. Quincy then ordered someone to transfer Declan to the VIP ward. “Alright, Ophelie, don’t cry. Your Uncle Declan will be fine after he takes some medicine.”

“Thank you, Mr. Hofstead.” Ophelie was still sobbing as she thanked Quincy gratefully.

In the entire Pearson Family, save for Olivia, Declan was the one who treated Ophelie the best. In reality, Declan had already taken over the role of a father in Ophelie’s heart.

“Rest here, and I’ll prepare some medicine for your uncle.”

“Okay!” Ophelie nodded obediently.

Just then, Ophelie’s phone rang. It was a call from Harrison.

“Ophelie, where are you guys? I’m at the entrance of the hotel!”

Harrison was still mad. How could they harm his granddaughter? He would get back at them no matter what!

“Grandpa, I’m at the hospital. Come over.” NôvelDrama.Org holds this content.

“What? The hospital?”

Harrison was shocked. His granddaughter must have been seriously injured; she even went to the hospital!

“Don’t worry, Grandpa, I’m not the one who got hurt. It’s Uncle Declan.”

When Harrison heard that, he was even more confused. Even though Declan wasn’t as skilled as his father, Terrence, he had practiced martial arts since his youth. He should be quite capable, and he was also a core member of the Pearson Family. Who would dare touch him?

With a mind full of questions, Harrison hastily rushed to the hospital.

Harrison soon caught sight of his darling granddaughter sitting on a chair in the hospital corridor. “Ophelie, what exactly happened?”

Ophelie recounted the whole incident truthfully. She didn’t notice that her grandfather’s expression had turned especially dark.

Harrison’s brows were tightly knitted, for he couldn’t believe that Leah was back. No one else knew her reason for leaving in the first place, but the older generation like him knew it all too well. Leah was never as simple as she seemed to be. Also, she was probably up to no good if she chose to come back at such a sensitive time.

“Ophelie, don’t cry. Relax, I promise I’ll make them pay. However, you have to promise me that you can’t tell the public about this yet.”

Leah’s return must be kept a secret, and no other soul should know about this.

After saying that to Ophelie, Harrison walked toward the dean’s office. His most urgent task right now was to make sure that Declan was alright.

However, he had just opened the door when he stood rooted to the spot.

“You—”

Leah was found sitting on a couch opposite Quincy.

“Old Mr. Denver, please have a seat,” Quincy said calmly.

He had just finished preparing the medicine when he ran into Leah. He asked a nurse to administer the medicine to Declan, then stayed behind to accompany the retired first lady of the Pearson Family.

“Madam Wilkerson, you should tell Old Mr. Denver about the incident. After all, he is Olivia and Ophelie’s grandfather. I am just an outsider, so I cannot say much about this.”

Harrison glanced at Leah. What did she want to tell him? Also, by the looks of it, it had something to do with his granddaughters. Just as expected, he had guessed right. The woman didn’t have any good intentions when she returned.
