Brian took a moment to compose himself.
He confirmed that the nurse in front of him was just impatient and not turning into something horrifying.
"Do you mean to say I've been in your hospital all this time?" Brian asked hoarsely.
"Well, isn't that the case?" The nurse frowned and asked, "Do you want to contact your family? You don't seem to be in a normal state of mind."
Brian called three of his sons from the nurse station.
Only Caspian answered the call.
Caspian arrived at the hospital half an hour later. He paid Brian's hospitalization expenses under the guidance of the nurse.
"Your father looks like he's not in a sound state of mind. Does he have a mental illness?" The nurse asked, "After waking up, he seems paranoid and muttering about ghosts and such..."
The hospital was no stranger to strange tales.
The nurse had some courage, but even she felt uneasy hearing Brian's delirious ramblings.
Caspian's eyes flashed with a hint of unease for a moment.
He nodded courteously. "No, he didn't have a history of mental illness. However, he's getting older. Recent business problems have weighed heavily on him, causing him significant stress. Your reminder has prompted me to take him for a thorough check-up."
Caspian headed towards Brian's room after finishing talking with the nurse.
Brian was startled again when Caspian entered the room.
Brian quickly jumped from the bed and pressed himself against the wall, hiding in the corner.
Brian breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Caspian.
Brian's expression turned sour.
"Why did you take so long to come?"
"I got held up outside while making the payment," Caspian glanced at Brian and asked, "What happened to you?"
"You have the audacity to ask?" Brian seethed with anger. "Immediately, find me the best lawyer. I'm going to sue Aron!"
"Not only did I tell him, but I also showed him the pictures! But Aron is no fool. He already knew about your past with Evie!" Brian seethed with anger. "And his parents are just as messed up, not even realizing Evie's shameless behavior and treating her like a treasure!"
"Brian Hansen!"
Caspian couldn't contain his frustration. He grabbed Brian's collar. His eyes were bloodshot and filled with rage.
"Why are you so shameless? Why?" Caspian roared. His grip tightened on Brian's clothes.
"Let go!" Brian forcefully pushed Caspian away.
"I'm shameless? It's because you're useless!" Brian adjusted his collar. "If I were in your place, I would never let her be with another man if I had to marry someone else. The dead are the most loyal, you know?"
Caspian's mind was suddenly overwhelmed.
The memories came rushing back to the afternoon when his mother passed away.
Caspian cried heart-wrenchingly in front of the crematorium. Brian stood by his side, wiping away his tears, saying, "Son, there's nothing to be so sad about. From now on, you won't have to worry anymore. Mom has left you. The dead are the most loyal."

The readers' comments on the novel: My Mommy Became A Billionaire After the Breakup
I am at Chapter 550 and there are almost 2 stories in 1. Aron and Evie's story could very well have been made into another story. Such a waste of time because I am reading for Byron and Athena, not Evie and Aron...
Is there no new updates after this one?...
