As soon as Lilith left, Shehnaaz and Josie stopped talking about what happened just now. After having a pleasant lunch, they went back to work.

Around three o'clock in the afternoon, Shehnaaz suddenly received a phone call from James.

Seeing the person calling was her father who hadn't contacted her for a long time, Shehnaaz looked up.

The man usually wouldn't call her. Every time he called her, there must be something wrong. She didn't know what he wanted this time.

After pondering for a while, Shehnaaz couldn't help but sigh.

Shehnaaz answered the phone and said indifferently, "What's wrong?"

Unexpectedly, the voice over the phone wasn't James's but Butler John's anxious voice, "Miss Shehnaaz, something bad happened."

"Butler John?"

Shehnaaz was stunned and frowned, "Butler John, what happened?"

"It is Master. He is currently in the hospital for emergency treatment."

"What!!!" Shehnaaz's expression changed drastically as soon as the butler spoke.

She didn't get along well with James because of Sophia and Ciaran over the years. However, no matter how bad their relationship was, they were still father and daughter. So, even though Shehnaaz was always calm, she couldn't help but turn pale when she heard that James, who had always been healthy, was ill.

"Is he sick? Is it serious?"

Shehnaaz barely regained her rationality and asked in a deep voice.

"I don't know. Master collapsed at noon. The doctor hasn't come out yet. Miss Shehnaaz, can you come and see the Master?"

The butler's tone sounded a little solemn. Presumably James's situation was not optimistic.

Shehnaaz took a deep breath and immediately said, "I know. I'll be right there."

After hanging up, Shehnaaz asked for leave from Isabelle and rushed to the hospital without stopping.

*************

At this moment, three figures were waiting at the entrance of the emergency room of the Benin hospital.

One of them was Butler John, who had just called Shehnaaz.

Butler John walked around anxiously, and his old face filled with worry.

The other two were Ciaran and Sophia.

At this moment, they were sitting on the chairs in the corridor with different expressions.

Sophia's expression was indifferent. There was a glimmer of satisfaction in the depths of her eyes.

However, when she saw Butler John walking back and forth, she became testy. "Butler John, can you stop walking around? You're making me dSophia."

"Sorry, Miss Sophia. I... I'm just worried about the Master." Butler John stopped and said with a fearful expression.

Sophia snorted coldly, "What are you worried about? The doctor has been giving him first aid. Is it useful to worry?"

"How can you say that, Miss Sophia? Master's life is uncertain now. Aren't you worried at all?"

Hearing Sophia's nonchalant words, Butler John felt indignant.

Sophia's expression froze when she heard this. She knew that she shouldn't be acting so indifferent at this time. So, she could only grit her teeth and hummed, "Humph, stubborn old man."

After she finished speaking, she ignored Butler John. Instead, she stared at Ciaran, who was beside her.

At this moment, Ciaran seemed to be a little uneasy. She clenched her hands so tightly that the veins on the back of her hands almost appeared clearly.Judging from her expression, she was more flustered than worried.

Seeing this, Sophia frowned. She reached out and grabbed Ciaran's hand and whispered in her ear, "Mom, what are you nervous about? That bitch Shehnaaz is coming. You'd better be at ease. That woman is very shrewd. If she finds out anything, it will be troublesome at that time."

"I... I know. But I can't help it."

Ciaran's body trembled slightly. There was a deep panic in her eyes, as if she had done something shady.

Seeing her like this, Sophia gritted her teeth and directly frightened her, "Mom, the Lake family is in danger now. I can only make use of the Gills family to help it. If we succeed, then you and I will be well provided for the rest of our lives. If we fail, then you'll be driven out by that bitch Shehnaaz in the future. In the end, the Gills family will definitely not give you any money."

Hearing that last sentence, Ciaran's body couldn't help but tremble, "Mom knows what you mean. But what if their efforts to revive James were futile?"

"Shut up!"

Hearing Ciaran's words, Sophia's expression changed and she rebuked her in a low voice immediately.

Sophia turned to look at Butler John beside her. Seeing that he didn't pay attention to them, she continued to whisper, "Mom, you'd better not talk nonsense about these things. Otherwise, we'll be over. All you have to do now is cooperate with me and pretend that we don't know anything. Remember that if you accidentally reveal yourself and ruin my business, I won't take care of you anymore. For the rest of your life, you can never expect me to provide for your old age."  Sophia's harsh words also shocked Ciaran. became serious and said, "Mom won't say it to anyone in the future."

Just as they were whispering to each other, Shehnaaz finally arrived at the hospital.

Butler John hurriedly greeted her and said respectfully, "Miss Shehnaaz, you are here."

"Yes."

Shehnaaz nodded and glanced at Ciaran and Sophia. She ignored them and directly asked, "Where is my father?"

"Master hasn't come out yet." Butler John answered faithfully.

Shehnaaz frowned, "How long has it been since he entered?"

"An hour." Butler John looked at the operating room worriedly.

"Tell me the specifics." Shehnaaz said softly as she helped Butler John to a chair.

Shehnaaz had always treated this old butler with respect. Butler John had worked for the Gills family for many years. It could be said that he had watched her grow up.

In the Gills family, he did his best. Because he had no children, Butler John was also kind to Shehnaaz.

During the period when Shehnaaz left home, Butler John had always mentioned it in James's ears and hoped that James could take Shehnaaz home as soon as possible.

To Shehnaaz, Butler John could be considered her family.

Butler John nodded, recalled his memory, and began to narrate, "Master still looked well when he went to work at the company this morning. In the afternoon, he suddenly went home, as if to get some important documents. I didn't ask too much at that time. But I didn't expect that not long after he entered the study, he suddenly twitched and fell to the ground unconscious. Fortunately, Madam found out in time and sent the unconscious Master to the hospital for treatment."

Hearing Butler John's simple explanation, Shehnaaz frowned and subconsciously glanced at Ciaran.
