Chapter 121\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ll never admit Bethany is my sister!\u201d Leo screamed, his face flushed red with rage. \u201cDad, you\u2019ve got to say something!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
If it weren\u2019t for Silas, Gary wouldn\u2019t have felt so torn. But as things stood, there was no room left for Bethany in the Reid family. Even if they let this slide, the damage was done. It would still drive a thorn deep into his, Ella\u2019s, and Leo\u2019s hearts. And that thorn could never be\u00a0<\/p>\n
removed.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He looked at Diana. \u201cWhat do you think?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Diana was so conflicted that she could barely hold herself together. She covered her face with her hands as tears spilled through her fingers.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cGary, I know she isn\u2019t close to me, but for my sake, can we not call the cops?\u201d she cried. \u201cI\u2019ll make it up to Ella later, okay?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
This was the first time Diana had ever spoken up for Bethany.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Gary took a drag of his cigarette. Smoke swirled around him, blurring his features.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIf we don\u2019t call the cops, what about the future? What if she does something extreme like this\u00a0<\/p>\n
again?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Diana cried for a while before she finally managed to find her voice. \u201cI\u2019ll release a statement in\u00a0<\/p>\n
the media cutting all ties to her. She\u2019s no longer my daughter. If there\u2019s a next time, you can do whatever you want with her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDad!\u201d Leo was furious with the way things were going. \u201cWhat about this time? Are we just going to let it go?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Bethany had Silas backing her, so it would be difficult for Gary to pursue this matter even if he\u00a0<\/p>\n
wanted to.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Their connection to the Brennan family was thoroughly severed now.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He stubbed out his cigarette, his voice dropping low. \u201cFine. We\u2019ll do as you said.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Evan hadn\u2019t seen Bethany all day and was starting to get nervous. He used his smartwatch to call Silas, but there was no answer. He refused to give up and called his father.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Julian answered on the second ring.\u00a0<\/p>\n
X CLOSE\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat\u2019s wrong, Evan?\u201d He assumed Evan had gotten into trouble again.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDad, do you know where Aunt Betty is? She didn\u2019t come back all night, and I\u2019m worried something happened to her. Uncle Silas is on a business trip now\u2026\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Julian frowned. \u201cShe didn\u2019t come back all night?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Evan replied, \u201cYeah. The maid said she got a call and just ran out!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Julian pressed his lips together. \u201cOkay, I got it. Don\u2019t worry, I\u2019ll send someone to look into it. I\u2019ll have the driver pick you up today, so be good.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cOh, okay then.\u201d Evan knew he shouldn\u2019t keep staying at Bethany\u2019s house. \u201cBut Dad, you have to tell me when you find her.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Bethany returned to the hospital after leaving the Reid residence. Even though the doctors told her she couldn\u2019t see Sarah, she stayed anyway.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The ICU only allowed visitors until 3:00 pm, and even then, Bethany could only see Sarah for a short while through a video feed. Most patients in the ICU were in a coma and couldn\u2019t respond to their families. Despite that, Bethany stubbornly insisted on waiting.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She buried her face in her knees until she noticed a pair of shiny leather shoes appear in front of her. She looked up abruptly, her gaze dim.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cJulian?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
10\u00a0<\/p>\n
She was surprised to see him there.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Julian handed her a bottle of water.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cSorry, I didn\u2019t mean to pry. Evan said he couldn\u2019t find you, and he was really worried.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
He paused, then added, \u201cI just went to ask the doctor about your grandmother\u2019s condition. The most important thing now is for her to get through these next three days without any complications.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
He looked at her. \u201cDid you tell Silas about your grandmother suddenly falling ill?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Bethany stiffened. \u201cNot yet.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Too many things had happened, and she hadn\u2019t had time to tell anyone. She just wanted to shut the world out and tend to her wounds.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Julian curled his lips slightly. \u201cThis is my assistant, Anthony Delone. I\u2019ll lend him to you for a\u00a0<\/p>\n
