Wolves, Maces, And Blood

Chapter 96 Sorry, Honey. Phyllis’s Condition

Mr. Brain was thinking about this problem, too.

What should they do?

Luis Sanchez made a bad move and dragged the entire Sanchez family into the game. If they made

one more mistake, the Sanchez family could be wiped out.

After nearly five minutes of thought, Mr. Brain said quietly, “For now, I’m afraid we will have to protect

the Sanchez family first, and then Mr. Luis.”

“Oh?”

Owen Sanchez frowned. “What do you mean?”

Mr. Brain explained, “Before Sean left, he said if anything happened to his daughter, the next time he

came, he would kill the Sanchez family. In other words, if his daughter is safe, or if we can help him

save his daughter, it means saving the Sanchez family.”

“As for Mr. Luis…”

Mr. Brain shook his head and went on, “Logan Garcia said that after they kidnapped Phyllis this

morning, they handed her over to Mr. Luis, who handed her over to Reid. She’s been held in Elegant

Villa’s safe room. No one could come near. Even Mr. Luis could only act on Reid’s will.”

“So, it wasn’t Mr. Luis who attacked Phyllis, it was Reid. Mr. Luis is at best an accomplice, not a

mastermind. If I’m right, Sean’s main purpose when he stormed into the Sanchez family to find Mr. Luis

was not to kill him, but to get him to tell him how to save Phyllis…”

Mr. Brain spoke with a very thorough analysis of the present situation.

Owen Sanchez thought for a moment and said, “So you’re saying that if we save Phyllis, not only will

we keep the Sanchez family safe, but we’ll keep Luis alive?”

“Maybe not now, but someday, I think so.”

Mr. Brain nodded, “If you think about it, Sean was very just now, but the fact that he spared your life at

the last minute means he’s not a bloodthirsty man. If Mr. Luis had been caught by him now, he might

have killed him in a fit of rage.

“However, …”

“If we help him save Phyllis before he gets to Mr. Luis, we’ll make amends for Mr. Luis. At that point,

when he had calmed down, the reason for killing Mr. Luis would be less compelling, and Mr. Luis would

have a chance to live.”

Mr. Brain was over 60 years old, and his ability to judge people and things was far better than ordinary

people.

Until now, Mr. Brain had not suggested to Owen Sanchez that he join the Mason family in the Capital

City. In his opinion, although Sean was fierce, he had principles, a bottom line, and a clear balance

between favors and enmity. He was far more trustworthy than the Mason family of the Capital City.

Dropping their benefactor as soon as their help was not required. The Mason family of the Capital City

had done a lot of these things.

“Good point!”

Owen Sanchez thought for a moment, then nodded. “Tomorrow morning, we’re gonna go to city

hospital, check on Phyllis, and see if there’s anything we can do to help.”

“Okay.”

Mr. Brain said, “In addition, you must not send anyone to find Mr. Luis until then. We were able to spy

on Sean, and Sean was able to spy on us, too. If we find Mr. Luis and don’t give him to Sean, and

when he finds out, it will only ruin everything we’ve done and makes it worse.”

“Okay, I got it.”

Owen Sanchez sighed quietly, “Let’s hope Luis learns to be smarter this time, to run faster, to run

farther, to hide better, and not to have any more problems…”

A father’s love was as great as a mountain.

No matter you were good, bad, rich, or poor...

…

At ten past eight in the evening.

There were officers left behind by Luke Young outside city hospital. When he saw Sean, he

immediately came up to him and handed him a suit of clothes, saying, “Mr. Mason, This is for you from

Mr. Young.”

Sean still hasn’t had time to change his bloody suit. He couldn’t go to Cecilia dressed like that.

Sean took the clothes and went back to the car. In less than a minute he had changed, then he came

out and said, “How’s Phyllis? Have you checked with the doctor?”

“Yes.”

The officer nodded and said, “Mr. Young has asked Mr. Allen, the vice president of the city hospital, to

examine your daughter himself. After the examination, your daughter was placed in VIP room 508.

She’s not yet conscious, and your in-laws are taking care of her.”

“Where’s my wife?”

Sean asked as they walked.

The officer said, “Mr. Allen called in the chief physicians of all departments of the hospital to conduct a

consultation study on the examination results. Your wife, Miss Moore, has been waiting at the

conference room door. She was worried about your daughter’s health, so...”

“Miss Moore is emotionally unstable.”

The police officer was very polite to Sean because of Luke Young’s warning.

Sean walked into the elevator without stopping. “Let’s go to the conference room.”

“Okay!”

The officer then pressed the elevator button to the eighth floor.

In the eighth floor.

Cecilia sat alone on a chair in the hallway outside the conference room. Her head was down, and she

kept reaching out to wipe her tears, her thin shoulders trembling slightly.

She was obviously very frightened.

The elevator doors were opened slowly and Sean strode out. The policeman wisely did not follow him,

but took the elevator back the way it had come and went to guard at the hospital gate.

When Sean saw Cecilia from afar, he paused a little, but did not stop. He walked right up to Cecilia, sat

down in the seat next to her, and whispered, “Sorry, honey. I…”

“Shut up!”

Cecilia's body suddenly stiffened when she heard Sean’s voice in her ear. She cried coldly, then looked

up, her tearful eyes sullen. She stared at Sean and choked up, “Don’t you call me honey! I’m not your

honey!”

“Liar! You’re a liar!”

“I don’t know anything about you except your name and your conviction for five years ago, and you

won’t tell me anything, so why do you call me honey? Is that the right way to treat your honey?”

“You said as long as you are here, no one can bully me and Phyllis, no one can hurt us. But when

Phyllis was abducted, when she was tortured, where were you?”

“Why y didn’t you tell me when you knew about her kidnapping and let my dad and mom keep it from

me?”

“Why is that? Tell me! Why?”

“To Me and Phyllis, you’re just an outsider who’s been in our house for less than two days! A stranger!

Phyllis is my daughter! I’m her real mother! What right have you to keep this from me?”

As Sean had predicted, Cecilia had forgotten about the Moore Group when she learned of Phyllis’s

abduction and was in no mood to ask.

Sean was bombarded with questions and reprimands. Cecilia’s voice got louder and louder, and her

grief did get out of hand.

“Honey, actually…”

Sean’s heart hurt no less than Cecilia’s, or even more. But Cecilia could shed tears and vent as much

as she liked, but he couldn’t. He gritted his teeth and tried to comfort Cecilia, but before he could say

anything, Cecilia interrupted him, “I don't want to hear your explanation!”

“Liar! Big liar!”

It was not enough to blame, to yell, to snarl, to question!

Cecilia was so emotional that she couldn’t help throwing her fist at Sean’s chest. She hit Sean with

both hands, one after the other. As she hit Sean, she cried and said he was a liar.

Her fist hit Sean’s chest and it didn’t hurt at all. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

However, when he looked down at Cecilia’s sad appearance, Sean could not help feeling sad and

distressed. Over the past five years, Cecilia had been the pillar of her family, oppressed and bullied by

Carter Moore, Dylan, and Isaac. When Sean was not around, she had no one to lean on, no one to

blame, no one to turn to!

In Marcia’s words, she could only cry in her bed at night, alone…

“Honey, I’m sorry.”

Even though Sean’s heart had been hardened in the battlefield, he could not help but feel his heart

shaking and twitching, and his eyes gradually became moist at the thought.

He reached out and took Cecilia into his arms, saying it over and over again, “Honey, I’m sorry. Honey,

I’m sorry.”

I was sorry about today!

I was sorry about what happened five years ago!

Sean wanted to say “I’m sorry” to Cecilia for everything she’d been through in the past five years.

Sean had always acted with dignity and integrity, but when it came to Cecilia and Phyllis, he felt sorry

and guilty.

Cecilia struggled a few times but she couldn’t get away, then she gave up and let Sean hold her. Lying

in Sean’s arms, her growls were getting smaller and smaller, but her sobs were endless and heart-

wrenching.

Sean patted her on the back.

Luke Young only told Cecilia and Marcia that Phyllis was abducted by a gang of evil men, and the

police find her with Sean’s help. But he didn’t tell them what Sean’s role was or what he did, or even

Luis Sanchez and Reid, the culprits.

Because it was a big deal. It was so big!

The heads and sons of three big families in the south of the city were all killed overnight. That alone

was enough to stir up Hilshire. In addition, the richest man in Hilshire and the Mason family of the

Capital City were all involved. Once the news was leaked, it would surely trigger a huge frenzy of public

opinion and affect the normal social order of Hilshire.

As the guardian of Hilshire, Luke Young naturally put social stability of Hilshire in the first place. Some

things were not for too many people to know.

Telling Cecilia’s family would only add to their worries and fears.

If Cecilia knew Sean had killed more than one men in a rage to save Phyllis, she might have blamed

him less.

But she was gonna be more suspicious about Sean’s background!

“Miss Moore.”

Suddenly, the door of the conference room pushed open and a grizzled doctor stepped out of the room,

holding the papers that had Phyllis’s results.

The choking stopped immediately.

Cecilia immediately burst out of Sean’s arms and jumped to her feet. Without even trying to wipe her

tears, she rushed over and asked, “Mr. Allen, how’s it going?”

“What the hell is wrong with my daughter?”

Sean also stood up and followed.

Mr. Allen took a look at Sean and asked, “And he’s…”

Sean said, “I’m Sean Mason, Cecilia is my wife, and Phyllis is my daughter.”

“So you are Mr. Mason.”

A flash of shock came into Mr. Allen’s eyes. He looked at Sean a few more times. Then he offered

Sean his hand and said excitedly, “Hello, Mr. Mason, I’m Allen, the assistant dean here, and your

daughter’s attending physician.”

Apparently, Luke Young had told Mr. Allen that his patient Phyllis had an unusual father. Otherwise, Mr.

Allen would not have paid so much attention to Phyllis’s physical examination and convened a

consultation with all the department heads of the hospital.

Cecilia was stunned by Mr. Allen’s attitude toward Sean.

Sean politely shakes Mr. Allen’s hand and then said impatiently, “Let’s start with my daughter.”

“Yes. Okay.”

Mr. Allen nodded and pointed to the documents in his hand. His face became grave and he said, “To

tell you the truth, your daughter has a very special corporeity!”

“After our tests, we found that the physiological functions of her heart, liver, spleen, lung, kidney, and

viscera were very different from those of ordinary people. This is the first time for us to encounter this

situation, and further clinical observation and consultation and research are needed to confirm it.”

“And her blood!”

Mr. Allen pulled out another test report and said, “She had significantly higher concentrations of red

blood cells, white blood cells and platelets, a much higher death rate, and an abnormal temperature of

37.8.”

“According to the joint discussion of the chief physician of each department, it is agreed that your

daughter is likely to be injected with an unknown hormone, or poison, resulting in her physiological

dysfunction in a short time…”

Cecilia’s face turned pale at Mr. Allen’s words. It was as if thunder were going off in her head. Her body

gave a jerk and she nearly fell.

Sean, quick of eye and quick of hand, immediately reached out to help her. He took her in his arms with

one hand and said consolingly, “Don’t worry. I’m here. Phyllis is gonna be fine.”

Then he looked at Mr. Allen and asked, “Is there any treatment available at the hospital?”

Sean was not surprised by Mr. Allen’s words and the results of the tests. Before that, he had personally

examined Phyllis’s body and prepared accordingly.

The test results were roughly the same as his judgment!

Injection!

It seemed that the Mason family in Capital City had Luis Sanchez kidnap Phyllis not to threaten Sean

with her life, but to have an agenda!

“Well…”

Mr. Allen said with a puzzled look of being in a pickle, “Until we find out the source of the disease,

figure out what hormones your daughter was injected with, and then investigate the symptoms, the best

course of action for now is probably conservative treatment.”

“First seek stability, then seek treatment. There is hope of a cure provided the condition does not

deteriorate further.”

Hope?

Only hope?

Cecilia’s eyes were watering and her heart was bleeding. Her legs were weak, her body was weak, and

she felt dizzy. Even when she was in Sean’s arms, she was uncontrollably shaky and insisted on

asking, “Mr. Allen, so…”

“And my daughter, she... When is she gonna wake up?”
