Chapter 98: The Reddened Tips of His Ears
<.Chairman Delaney’s beach villa.>

Instead of bringing Lariette into the inner room, Ruediger put her down on the main bed.
The previously darkened sky slowly regained its luminous state, showering the island under the sun’s warmth and brightness.
Like before, Dr. Larson stated that Lariette’s condition was generally alright.
Still, Chairman Delaney couldn’t keep his worry at bay. The elderly man’s gaze zeroed into Lariette who was leaning against the bed headboard.
The sight of his granddaughter’s pallid face pricked his heart. He couldn’t imagine the fear and stress she was under when escaping from those two scums.

Chuckles slipped from Lariette’s lips upon hearing Chairman Delaney’s suggestion. She could tell that her grandfather’s worry wouldn’t recede anytime soon.
Lightly shaking her head, Lariette playfully refused the offer, "Grandpa, I haven’t forgotten my previous hospital stay. You want me to go to one again?"
