“Dad, you and Mom have been getting along well recently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Do you have any secrets?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Quella Radcliffe sat in front of the hospital bed, asking happily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing her parents together and harmonious, she was genuinely happy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At least they were not arguing all day like before, making a big fuss over small issues.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could it be because Dad suddenly fell ill?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Old partner, old partner, when you get older, a companion is all you need!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Burl Radcliffe sat up in the hospital bed, speaking kindly, “Your brother has returned and taken direct control of the Radcliffe Group.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You need to be careful.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mm, Mom mentioned it over the phone.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Quella Radcliffe nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Knowing her father was alright, she naturally had to think about Otis.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After disappearing for several months, her unreliable brother had unexpectedly made a comeback.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And he had made a bold move!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ɲονցօ.сο\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was able to take control of the Radcliffe Group overnight and brought with him a substantial amount of funds, so much so that the business alliance was facing a change of chairman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was this still the Otis from before?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Any news of Grandpa?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Quella Radcliffe lifted her head, looking at Burl Radcliffe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since the incident where Otis and Zade Radcliffe faked an illness and deceived her into a kidnapping in Five-river Province, Zade Radcliffe had disappeared without a trace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that Otis had appeared, where was her grandfather?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The old man might also be in Gonzalez City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He has always been with Otis, and they went abroad for treatment before.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Burl Radcliffe said indifferently, “Now that Otis has returned, it’s very likely premeditated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You must be careful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I always feel that this matter is targeting you, or Julius Reed.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Went abroad for treatment?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Quella Radcliffe was somewhat surprised, “I was wondering why all of a sudden there was no news from Grandpa.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It turns out he went abroad for treatment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I thought he had…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I know there have been some misunderstandings, but he is still your grandfather.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Burl Radcliffe held Quella Radcliffe’s hand, “You still have his blood flowing in your veins.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You knew?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Quella Radcliffe was somewhat taken aback.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This matter had been a great shock to her, and after it happened, she hadn’t mentioned it to anyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How did her own father know?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ah…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Burl Radcliffe turned his eyeballs, chuckling, “I mean, I know there have been misunderstandings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, your grandfather left the company because of your and Julius Reed’s takeover.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But at the end of the day, we’re all family.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His explanation, though it seemed reasonable, was somewhat of an attempt to paper over the cracks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s true.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Quella Radcliffe laughed lightly, but doubts began to arise in her mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why did everything seem a bit off after her trip to the capital?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, Julius Reed had just called, asking her to stabilize Aron Jackson.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s worth noting, Aron Jackson was his right-hand man!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could it be…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Radcliffe, I’m back!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as she was pondering, Knox Ridge came in briskly, carrying fruit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Here, I have washed everything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Let’s eat.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, where was Knox Ridge’s previous haughty demeanor?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was simply a good wife, a good mother.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mom, Julius Reed might be coming back too.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Quella Radcliffe picked up an apple and took a gentle bite.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was sweet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That good-for-nothing…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Cough, cough…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the hospital bed, Burl Radcliffe coughed, prompting Knox Ridge to change her tone, “Your dad is fine, why make a fuss!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But her eyes still carried a hint of disgust.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this scene.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Quella Radcliffe let out a sigh of relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her mother was finally acting like before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No changes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, it was Burl Radcliffe’s light cough that made Knox Ridge change her attitude.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was somewhat surprising to Quella Radcliffe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her trip to the capital had completely overturned the family’s hierarchy?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the atmosphere grew slightly awkward, Burl Radcliffe picked up a mango, peeled it, and held it out to Quella Radcliffe, “Honey, try this.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hey!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Radcliffe!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Knox Ridge promptly grabbed the mango from his hand, “Quella is allergic to this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You’ve been sick, how could you forget that?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ah!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Smack!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Burl Radcliffe slapped his forehead, chuckling awkwardly, “It’s clearly a heart disease, how did my brain also stop working!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I mean, if they didn’t know you, they might think you had a brain hemorrhage.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Knox Ridge also tried to smooth things over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two of them sang in harmony, seemingly loving.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in Quella Radcliffe’s eyes, it was just like acting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At home, although Burl Radcliffe had no authority, he loved his daughter immensely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The incident with the mangoes was discovered by Burl Radcliffe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that time, young Quella Radcliffe, just a few years old, had an allergic reaction to mangoes, and Burl Radcliffe carried her and ran all the way to the hospital.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the time he reached the hospital entrance, he was already too exhausted to stand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back then they didn’t have a car, but luckily the hospital wasn’t far away, and they arrived just in time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ever since then, Burl Radcliffe wouldn’t let Quella touch anything related to mangoes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Quella felt her eyes moistening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She stood up, then sat down again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What’s wrong?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Burl Radcliffe noticed something was off and tentatively asked, “Do you feel unwell?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Quella managed a weak smile and wiped the tears that had started to flow, “Dad, do you remember what I told you during New Year’s in Moon City?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that time, while standing at the car’s rear trunk, she first felt it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her father was getting old.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ah, I remember.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Burl Radcliffe secretly signaled with his hand, and Knox Ridge hurriedly changed the subject, “Quella, when is Julius coming back?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Probably very soon.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Quella looked at Knox Ridge, her eyes tearful yet smiling, “Mom, seeing you and dad getting along so well makes me really happy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I hope you can keep being like this, kinder to dad.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You child.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Knox Ridge approached and handed her a tissue, “Stop crying, it’s bad luck.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, Aron Jackson entered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sister-in-law, what time is Brother Davenport’s flight?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He approached the hospital bed, glanced at Burl Radcliffe, and quickly looked away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m not sure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Knowing dad was ill, Anna Harris and I took a flight back immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius might be a bit later, is something the matter?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pain in Quella’s heart was extreme, but she endured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius had asked her to stall Aron Jackson, and she would do just that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And she could not show any signs of abnormalities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She definitely could not let the other party discover anything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If big brother is coming back, I’ve got to pick him up personally,”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aron Jackson said cheerfully, “Otherwise, I might get beaten up.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ll ask him, thank you for your trouble.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Quella pulled out her cellphone and walked into the hallway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Julius, when will you arrive in Gonzalez City?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aron Jackson is here waiting to pick you up.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I might be four hours late, the flight is delayed,”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius said over the phone, “Hand the phone to Aron Jackson.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Here.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Quella handed it over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Big brother, I’m waiting to pick you up,”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aron Jackson said with a laugh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m in the capital, no rush.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arrange for someone to take good care of my wife.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Also, make a trip to Knox Ridge’s place and check if the iron box in her cupboard is still there.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius instructed, “Make sure to move stealthily, best not to bring anyone.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Understood!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aron Jackson said, a bit excited, “Big brother, about that iron box…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If it’s not your concern, don’t ask!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Give the phone back to Quella.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Understood!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aron Jackson quickly returned the phone, his face full of excitement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Julius, my dad is okay, I miss him, suddenly I really miss him.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tone in Quella’s voice carried a hint of sadness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a moment, Julius’s voice came through the phone, “I understand.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sister-in-law, don’t wander around here, my people will protect you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Brother Davenport has made arrangements, I’m stepping out for a bit.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Quella finished the call, Aron Jackson put on his suit and quickly left the hallway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the entrance of Gonzalez City Central Hospital, thirty meters away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Karen and Terry Moore, wearing duckbill caps, set up their stools.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the streetlight, they shook dice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two were very low-key, adhering to the principle of not flaunting wealth, with not a single bill on the table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just a dozen gold bars.\u003C\u002Fp>",1422,"2026-06-06T17:05:08.258Z",1,"novelbin.me","4fcdccaec24c5826d3e75969584ecb80c13d8e5fa5b40a555896cb6b4c9c789f","legend-of-dragon-son-in-law-chapter-979","legend-of-dragon-son-in-law-chapter-977",2546,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Flegend-of-dragon-son-in-law-cover.jpg"]
