Starting with A Divorce novel (Ainsley and Cason)
Chapter 428

Chapter 428 Save Koen

Daniel was lying beside Irene, playing with her hair and saying, "However, I like your vivid appearance."

Feeling the heat coming from her side, Irene's body stiffened slightly, and she gritted her teeth to suppress

the disgust in her heart and, trying hard not to drive him away.

The crescent moon appeared, and the ****covered the bright halo from time to time.

When the maids saw that Daniel had not come out after entering the room, they were accustomed to it. They didn't feel surprised because of it and just minded their business.

To pass the boring time, Ainsley drank some wine.

Manuel was close to her, so he naturally smelled a hint of alcohol.

"I'll send you back." He looked at Ainsley and said in a firm tone. Ainsley looked back at him and accepted his arrangement calmly. After all, she could come home with a free driver.

-On the way back, the atmosphere was quiet since no one spoke.

Just as Manuel was thinking about replaceing a topic to chat with, the ear-piercing ringtone suddenly sounded.

Manuel pursed his lips and pressed the loudspeaker button in the car.

The caller was Koen's confidant. His tone was extremely anxious. "Mr. Gage, where are you? Come to the hospital quickly."

Manuel became nervous. "What is it? What happened to Grandpa?"

"He is being rescued in the hospital. Mr. Gage, please come over quickly."

Manuel frowned immediately and turned the steering wheel without thinking. He turned the car around and ****in the direction of the hospital.

Ainsley also heard about the situation of Koen in the hospital. She thought about it and tried to comfort

Manuel, "Don't worry. He will be alright."

In fact, she was not sure. The specific situation hadn't been told through the phone call, and Manuel could not listen to it. He hung up the phone as long as he got the position. Manuel was still sober and was afraid of scaring Ainsley, who was sitting next to him. He held back his

anxiety and said, "I know."

They soon arrived at the hospital. Their fierce and harsh appearance startled the doctor who stuttered, "The... The patient you found is on the 18th floor."

The lights of the operating room were still on, and Koen's trusted butler, John Bradshaw, was sitting on a

bench dispiritedly.

Manuel walked out of the corner. When he saw Marlon, his face suddenly turned cold. He quickly walked over with anger in his

eyes. "So this is how you take care of Grandfather, right?"

Ainsley quickly followed. Seeing Manuel's worried expression, she hurriedly pulled on his sleeve and asked, "Marlon, what happened today? Did someone come to visit Koen?"

Marlon raised his head, looking sad. It was harder for him to accept that Koen had entered the hospital than anyone else.

He knew that Ainsley was trying to replace an excuse for him in front of Manuel, so he looked at her gratefully before speaking in a hoarse voice, "This afternoon, people from the Wade family came."

Manuel suddenly exuded a cold aura, and his eyes were filled with terror as he said, "The Wade family... Then he looked at Marlon, asking coldly, "Why did they come to replace Grandpa?"

"I... I don't know." Marlon was pale and his dry lips trembled slightly.

"You don't know?" Manuel's voice was indifferent.

Marlon closed his eyes and said with a guilty tone, "I was careless at that time."

He should have stayed by Koen's side, so it would not be the current situation.

Ainsley, who had been silent, raised her eyebrows and said in a calm tone, "It seems that if we want to replace

out the truth, we have to wait until Koen wakes up."

Manuel didn't reply, frowning and looking cold all the time.

At that time, the lights in the operating room were off.

The doctor was the first to walk out, exhausted.

The three of them hurried over and asked in unison, "How about Koen?"

The doctor took off his mask and said with a serious face, "Fortunately, he was sent here in time. If you came later, he would be in danger."

Before they could breathe a sigh of relief, the doctor said reluctantly, "However, the patient's current situation

is not steady. He is currently in a coma. It is hard to say if he can wake up."

Hearing his words, Manuel froze.

He clenched his fists tightly, and his eyes revealed a sense of sadness.

Ainsley sensed the change in his mood. With a worried expression on her face, she carefully reached out her

hand and held his hand, comforting him silently.

Manuel exhaled a breath of deep air, turned his face to look at her, and forced a smile. "I'm fine."

Koen could be in danger again at all times, so after coming out of the operating room, he was pushed into

the ward and isolated.

Through the glass, Ainsley saw that Koen was covered with tubes all over his body. She couldn't bear it anymore, grabbed Manuel's hand, and turned around with tears in her eyes.

Manuel inexplicably calmed down, staring at Koen, who was lying on the bed, and murmured in a low voice,

"Grandpa, I will make the person who harmed you pay the price."

Manuel rushed straight to the company after leaving the hospital. Ainsley still had classes, so she could only tell him not to act rashly several times.

She was not worried that Manuel could not defeat the Wade Group, but she was afraid that he would lose his mind because of Koen. And it would be a loss if he alerted the opponents.

The meeting room was quiet. All the managers were treading as if on thin ice. When they noticed Manuel's handsome face and his overbearing aura, they didn't dare to say anything. "What about the matter that I asked you to investigate? Manuel's tone was full of anger, and the people

close to him all shivered at the same time.

The head of the market research department cleared his voice and said under great pressure, "I found out

that the Wade Group is expanding the business of hotels and greenery recently."

Manuel did not speak. His fingertips tapped on the table, and everyone's hearts were beating fast.

After a long time, he ordered coldly, "At all costs, take the cooperation that the Wade Group has been planning recently."

The managers from all departments were shocked and looked at each other, feeling somewhat sympathetic

to the Wade Group.

After all, the consequence of offending Manuel would be terrible. It seemed that the Wade Group would

suffer a lot.

Brady finally couldn't keep calm after Manuel destroyed two of his important deals.

He aggressively came to the Gage Group. When he saw Manuel, he asked in a questioning tone, "Do you want to cause a crisis in the business industry? A cornered beast will do something desperate. Don't think that the

Wade Group won't dare to fight against you!"

Manuel sat on the office chair, unaffected by his threat.

"Mr. Wade, what are you talking about?"

Brady was angry. "You stole a few of the Wade Group's projects. Why are you telling me that you don't know anything? Didn't you think that I would come to replace you before you ordered them to do so?" Thinking of the scene where Koen lay in the emergency room, Manuel turned gloomy.

"Mr. Wade, I'm sorry that I don't quite understand what you mean. I still have something to-do." Manuel said

these words with an expressionless face before turning to leave.
