Hannah rubbed her shoulders and glanced at Tyshawn, who stood nearby with a solemn expression.
Hannah moved closer to Bryson.
To an observer, it might seem a display of affection between lovers.
In a voice meant only for him, Hannah said, “Coutside with me.
| need to speak with you privately.
“Okay.
” Sensing the gravity of Hannah's words, Bryson patted her back and took her hand as they stepped outside.
Alone together, Hannah looked around cautiously and whispered to Bryson, “I'm concerned about Tyshawn’s
reaction.
We should investigate him thoroughly.
“I've noticed.
” Bryson’s demeanor hardened.
“His lack of concern for Grandpa's health and this situation is troubling.
His response today was unusually intense.

Bryson stared out the window, his gaze intense.
Thinking of Franco's fall down the stairs earlier, his expression darkened, his eyes chilling.
Hannah urged Bryson, “While there are nurses watching over Franco in the ICU, | think we should increase the
number of rotating bodyguards.
“I understand.
Don’t worry.
I've made arrangements.
Bryson’s gaze softened as he looked at Hannah.
“You must be exhausted after today’s surgery.
Go back and rest early.
Hannah shook her head.
“I need to stay at the hospital tonight.
Despite the successful operation, I'm afraid of an accident.
I'll personally monitor Franco's condition until he wakes up.
Only after Hannah felt at ease did she recall the incident at the birthday party.
“I don’t believe in conspiracy theories.
Why did Franco suddenly fall down the stairs?” Hannah frowned.
“Franco usually has company around him.
Why was he alone upstairs this time?”
Bryson shared her concern.
“I'll have it investigated.
Something doesn’t sit right about today’s events.
Not far from the hospital steps, amidst numerous cars, a black vehicle remained unnoticed.
The driver remarked, “Mr.
Moreno, Tyshawn doesn’t seem too clever.
| worry he might fail and implicate us.
“I only intended to do business with him.

How do you mean ‘implicate’?”
With hands crossed on his lap, Brodie observed the two figures on the steps through the car window.
“I'm just a businessman.
I work with whoever benefits me.
“But don’t we already have Ryleigh’s card? Despite her absence tonight, she’s not entirely useless.
Brodie scoffed.
“Do you really think they can turn things around? These two losers were pawns from the start.
They've donea favor by making Bryson’s situation worse.
“Then...” The driver hesitated, addressing Brodie, “Mr.
Moreno, what's our next move?”
Brodie’s eyes gleamed with cunning.
“It all depends on what Tyshawn is capable of.
In the corridor of the hospital.
Makenna remained unaware that Tyshawn was responsible for Franco's fall down the stairs.
She complained sharply, “Why did this happen suddenly? Franco was saved by that woman.
I dread to think how much it'll cost to treat Franco now.
